11/4    I'm putting 1.5GB of RAM in a computer that takes PC2100. Is there
        any reason that a mix of PC3200 and PC2700 RAM should not work?
        \- kids today are lazy and stupid. STFW, the answer is obvious.
           \_ Yes, the answers I found seems to say that it should work fine,
              but with this RAM config, the computer now experiences kernel
              oops, so I'm trying to figure out where to start with debugging.

11/07   Does 168pin DDR (PC3200) memory needs to be used in pairs? Thx!
        \_ Ideally, in pairs.  Dual-channel mode will be activated if the
           memory is of the same size and in the right slots.
           If not added in pairs or of memory of different size or in the
           wrong slots, then the memory will operate in single-channel mode.
           Your mobo manual should tell you the same thing.

4/27    I want to add memoory to my compaq presario R3000z.  Various sites
        let me choose between pc2700 and pc3200 for this model.  Will pc3200
        be actaully faster for this system?  I couldn't find any info from hp
        that clarifies this.  ok tnx.
        \_ Yes, although if you mix and match I believe that it doesn't
           matter, I believe that it defaults to the lower speed memory.

2/13    Buying 1GB PC3200 DDR memory for my G5-- any suggestions? I'm leary
        of the top 5 returns from pricewatch....
        \_ on a G5 make sure you get good memory and not some generic
           PW crap. I'd check Kingston to find out what sort of timing
           and stuff they'd put on their branded Mac compatible RAM and
           then go w/ a generic maker that matches those specs (or

10/25   What's the difference between intel's C and E cpu for p4? What about
        those processor with names like 540, 530? I am helping a friend pick
        components for a system. Any recommendations? I am thinking of
        Asus P4C800-E Deluxe with P4-3.0Ghz CPU and 1GB PC3200 memory, all for
        about $600. Is the newer socket 775 with ddr2 memory that much better?
        Not a gamer, just need a fast desktop system for general applications.

6/11    What's the deal with RAM ratings these days?  I tried putting in
        PC133 in a newer machine and it wouldn't boot.  If I buy the PC3200
        they're advertising on slickdeals, will that work even if my computer
        is rated at 2400?  TIA.
        \_ Up till around PC150-166 the number meant the MHz of the bus.  When
           DDR came around it stopped making sense.   PC2100 is a 266MHz DDR
