Re: Advice on PC upgrade from Gigabyte system
Which one would you recommend?
I am swayed towards the http://www.ebuyer.com/288744-gigabyt...-ga-g41mt-s2pt and http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpar...9C630BA5CA7304 That should sort me for a while and hopefully I can just swap the motherboard and everything will work :) ? |
Re: Advice on PC upgrade from Gigabyte system
yeah it should be a straight swap with a few drivers off the cd

Re: Advice on PC upgrade from Gigabyte system
Get a ATX case if you plan on using it with future builds.

Re: Advice on PC upgrade from Gigabyte system
does it then depend on which bit OS you run to allow max RAM functioning?
|
Re: Advice on PC upgrade from Gigabyte system
IIRC if you're using Windows then 64bit is required for the OS to "see" more than 3GB of RAM.

Re: Advice on PC upgrade from Gigabyte system
to be totally pedantic its 4 gig but this includes cached memory as well as graphics memory plus pci address space etc
|
Re: Advice on PC upgrade from Gigabyte system
Yes, I checked after I posted. However, to use more than 4 gig you need 64bit Windows :)
