Other - Hardware - November 2006

My RAM at the moment is 224MB and i have 2 Ram cards(?) from my old PC (they are about an inch high and 4 inches long).
Can i put one of them into my new computer to up the RAM without having to do anything else or do i need software?
I was told they may not be compatible with my new PC?
I'm ok with computers but i'm not sure about this... So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

My mobo croaked. However everything else is fine such as my HDD, RAM, and everything else.

While I could get a motherboard compatable with my current cpu (old socket A) I wanted to just upgrade in that area to a new cpu and mobo that will work with the rest of my hardware.

I have a new mobo and cpu chosen, HOWEVER, I am wondering how easy it will be , IF POSSIBLE, to use my existing installaton on my HDD. Im pretty sure there will be conflicts in the device manager for example with the hardware. Will things even boot up? Can I even get into safe mode after changing such important hardware?

Or are things like CPU and MOBO set in stone at the time of OS installation.

Thanks in advance!

On toms hardware for call of duty 2 the intels showed up higher than the amd's. I am building a computer, and i have to make the major choice between amd and intel. Would intel be better for me, i would like to keep it under 100, but i could go up to 150. If you say AMD i allready know what kind i would get. The AMD dual core i would get is the windsor 2.0Ghz, 3800+ with 1mb cache, and the single core i might get would be the San Diego 3700+, 1mb cache. SHould i go with the AMD or intel, and if you say intel please specify which one i should get. And by the way i would be using it for gaming, and fileshare with a raid 0.

Currently I have a 128MB Radeon 9200 video card on a PC with 512 MB of RAM, P4 2.4GHz processor, and a 120GB Hard Drive. I'm thinking of updating my video card to a 256MB Radeon X1600 Pro so I can the most out of my new Flight Simulator X.

Now I'm no computer wiz so I'm asking: If I update for this 256MB graphics card will I need to get more RAM?? I'm also unsure about the Hard Drive because I know that Flight Sim X requires atleast 15GB of free disk space which I think is alot. Keep in mind that I use my PC for more than just gaming so there's a lot of files on it. I'm a little stumped on what to do coz I'm not a wiz,,,, please any info would be great. Thanks!

Everytime I press the button to close the tray, it goes in about an inch, then stops. I cannot see that anything is jammed and stuck in it.

I am hoping to gather insights into how a computer physically stores the data onto a cd. What form does this data take? Is it burnt onto the cd? Is it visible or invisible to the naked eye? What does the 'reading' or 'playback' device actually 'see' or 'read'? Thank you for the sensible answer.
