It's a dual channel kit by g.skill 2x 1GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz, it went in just fine and it shows up as the full 2gb but it's only at 333MHz, it's on a dell e1505. my bios says it supports up to 667MHz so it's not a compatability issue. any ideas? maybe i got ripped off.

Firstly, how to determine the speed of the RAM in my CPU?
Secondly, I have a 256MB RAM at the moment. I bought a 512MB RAM the other day. There are 2 slots for RAM on the motherboard, one already has a RAM (256mb) card in it. Now, can I insert the 512 MB card into the other slot?

A man who fixes computers says the screen keeps freezing due to a fault in one of the peripherals (monitor/printer/keyboard etc.) but he can't seem to pinpoint the problem or fix it. I only thought that this happened if there was a problem with the hard drive (e.g. virus). What are the main reasons for a computer freezing? Is this man a waste of time?

My computer used to only have local disk C which has a capacity of 74.52 GB. But somethings happened, my PC broke and said they had to cut the memory in half. Now I have local disk C and local disk D. C contains 39 GB while D conatins 35. The start up got slower the one with like The Windows logo and the blue loading bar-like (by the way, I'm Windows XP Home Edition). My whole PC got slower than before it broke. What probably caused it to be slower (not much fragmented files, only less than 10%). They changed something and I forgot what it is.

I had 256Mb and installed a further 1Gb. Both memory cards are DDR3 and made by the same manufacturer. Now the computer is blue-screening every 5 minutes and running like a tortoise. What gives?

Hi I just built up a computer , with a 3.2GHz HT P4, 1 Gig DDR2 ram, but I kept my old Western Digital 160Gb 2mb buffer hard drive, and my comp is like glitching, the mouse moves and stops, the computer is slow loading, and it seems as though the HDD is always going? Is my HDD's buffer too small?

If I put a 1GB stick along with two 512 sticks, will my memory run in dual channel mode? Also, is there anything wrong with having this abnormal combination?

I have a new 160G hard drive. I copy everything from my old 60G drive. It works fine for my one computer that I imported all of the data from, but when I try to run it on another it won't work. It says "Error loading Operating System"

I think the problem is that the computer I got the data from has an Pentium4 processor and my other computer has intel celeron.

What can I do?! IS there anyplace i can download something to fix this?

Bought a HP Optical mouse after my other went out, It worked fine for a while and then started jumping everywhere, i thought it may have been faulty, so i got another of the same type and it did the same thing. Bit odd i thought, so i found a ball mouse laying around and it did the same thing. I have checked the port (Ps2) and it looks fine. Yesterday some of my games were freezing for about 4 seconds on and off and today i noticed 2 games i had crashed that never have before.

Any ideas what it could be? Could this be RAM be going out or my video card causing all these problems?

This does not happen with all videos just with some. Sometimes i see the dots on my desk top, some times i dont. When i play video games there are sometimes annoying trails on things. Is this the monitor or video card. My monitor is a Gateway EV700 and my video card is a NVIDIA GEFORCE 5200. Im not sure where the problem is coming from.
