Think He's Broken Our "New" Computer!!

Indeed, I'd just ditch the 512MB then, and stick to 2x1GB.

A typo, I meant 1GB sticks of course.

You're probably running a 32 bit OS, so 4.5GB of ram would be pointless, not to mention the fact that the crucial checker says the max your board will support is 4GB. Not that it's 100% reliable, but still.

Don't mind Donnie, after the fuss he caused earlier in the thread, which made him look a bit of a fool, all he has left is the ability to snipe at obvious mistakes.

I thought you were ignoring my posts.

As to the 'fuss'. It seems that you have agreed with me all the way. That we needed to check what was inside, before speculation. That CPU-Z should be utilised. That your suggestion of

The more the merrier

and

A couple of 2GB sticks

or

A couple of 2GB sticks as well as...

is what really falls under the heading of foolish.

You couldn't even admit that your supposition that only £5 separated 512MB and 1GB of DDR2 memory was correct in only one instance and incorrect in all of the others.
You might have got away with that one if you admitted that you supposed that PC5300 was suitable in this case. But I asked you and you backed away from it. So you can't even use that defence.

Only the fortune of it actually being PC5300 saved you from being the complete non entity.

All this from me asking you to create a useful link for the OP rather than wordy ramblings.

Nevertheless, it appears that links have been produced and the correct advice has been given, eventually.

Before you go calling anyone else a fool, take a look in a dictionary for the meaning of a 'typographical error'.

You are one slippery character. :rotfl:

ARGH!!! It get worse!! I thought the computer was fixed and now something else seems to have gone wrong!!

He was playing football manager earlier and it started clicking, and it was very loud...I've just been reading that this might mean problems with the hard drive? It was OK on Monday!

If it is the HDD, called ' death tick' :

- get important info off immediately if not sooner
- then open the case and find out what brand / model HDD it is, and let the group know
- and someone will tell you which proprietary [ brand specific ] DFT to use to check your drive

re the noise yes it sounds like ahard drive but they are cheap to buy but depends on which size you would be after

It's got a 120gb in it at the mo.......this is big enough for what we need.....will get the info of the drive later cause I'm not at home at the mo



How would we get windows onto the new hard drive? We haven't got a disc for it
