Kevin 1 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 So you need two 1.5gb sticks of RAM, do we have to explain everything to you? You can't get 1.5gb sticks of RAM for my laptop. I just checked, max = 4gb, never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30569 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) You can't get 1.5gb sticks of RAM for my laptop. What OS are you using? I think anything below Windows 7 running the 32 bit version will only recognise a maximum of 3gb RAM. Edited August 18, 2010 by ewerk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin 1 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Vista 32 bit, shit i know. Just took it off again, my RAM appears to be blue. Where looking at other pics everyone elses seems to be green? It's blue with 4 black chips on it, this is the RAM isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin 1 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 I thought he was talking about something sexual Yes I am aware this will sound pretty stupid but what does ground yourself actually mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanTheMan 0 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 For the record, you don't have to put U grades on your UCAS form, but you can only pull it off if you're doing three other subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin 1 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 PC2-5300 with a maximum of 2GB per slot. # Maximum Memory Capacity: 4096MB # Currently Installed Memory: 1GB # Available Memory Slots: 1 # Total Memory Slots: 2 # Dual Channel Support: Yes # CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel # CPU Family: Intel® Celeron® CPU 900 @ 2.20GHz Model 7, Stepping 10 # CPU Speed: 2194 MHz Thanks for the link.

Kevin 1 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 Ah i see. Would there be an electrical discharge but just from simply clipping out the RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30569 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 as said, 32bit OS can only recognise up to 4gb of ram (not 3) so get 2 2gb sticks to max it out You sure about that? I've always been told that it's 3gb as standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30569 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 What you want to do is to remove the power cable then hold in the power button for around 30 seconds, that should lessen your chance of getting a shock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been told that it's 3gb as standard. I am technically a 32bit can support 4gb but it needs to use some address space for other things like your graphics etc so really youre looking at up to 3.5gb is you put 4gb worth of sticks in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44811 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 It was piss easy if you happened to have even the vaguest idea about how the political system works. Anyway, are results out today or tomorrow? Mine was 50% modern politics and 50% history of political thought. They were both shit tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10855 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 All joking aside, GCSEs aren't the be all and end all, even if you don't get the grades you fancy, you can always fuck off for a bit to get some cash and then come back to do a course you like, get the credits to get to the uni you fancy. good luck though, eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
