you me both lol

LOL, it's a good thread, probably around 200 different threads merged into one long convo.

LOL here i am sitting at school "revising" about 7 people have been rick rollerd XD on that thing that si did with mr coopers IT class. XD

lol nw 4 cmin completly different :

look at our exciting new product made by Wigouche (me lol) this is a mus have 4 all TCHS fanboys



i got bored

The new Techious self-destruct chip: for when the feds are closing in.

lol nah its just a nerdy facion statment made of an old intel laptop cpu

and this limited addition fine neclace could be urs 4 just £12.99 , JUST £12.99 a bargen price for such a unique item . and there ready 4 dispach so order urs now before stocks run out lol

thats a ridiculous price!!

lol if the chip was wrking i could sell it on its own 2 peeps that want it 4 more than that lol

Im buying shares in Nanotechnolgy in the near future. 20g on it =] Bet N.T. all

I'd swear I posted in this the other day.

I've seen someone else do something similar with a burnt out LGA775 processor, made a keyring out of it. Shame I don't have any burnt out processors, lol.

Bet CT all

Bet "your mum is a whore" all

you gained $30!
bet "your dad is a slimy shat-eating electrician with a faded mullet" all

You completely fail, lol.

Or in other words;

EPIC PHAIL

well at least i wasn't very general about my bet
there could be any number of ways for someone to be a whore.
*hands over the $3.50*

You pay your whore mum.

Weirdo!

lets move away from the "your mum is a whore" now please.

anywho, i want to upgrade the RAM on my comp. but i dont know the comps RAM capacity (lol) or what kind of RAM it uses DDR or DDR2 or something....apparently knowing this info. is useful!

Whats the make and model of your computer?

For example: Dell Dimension 3150.

thats the dxdiag thingy mabob (xD). on the front of my comp it says Acer Aspire T310-3970. so im not really sure of exact model....

I ran a scan on my comp for info.... (results are below)


Maximum Memory Capacity: 2048MB
Currently Installed Memory: 512MB
Available Memory Slots: 1
Number of Banks: 2
Dual Channel Support: Yes
CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
CPU Family: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.80GHz Model 4, Stepping 1
CPU Speed: 2795 MHz
Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules.

And then i decide to try and find info on my motherboard deciding this would tell me type of RAM comp supports.

Googling "System Model: P4M800PRO-M" (i assume this was mother board name)
i came up with results below (but confused about which GB of RAM therefore to buy xD)

Memory
Memory Type DDR SDRAM • DDR2 SDRAM (does this mean it support ddr and ddr2???)

Number of Memory Slots 2 x 240 Pin DIMMs • 2 x 184 Pin DIMMs (guess i just need to check spec when i buy?)

Supported RAM speeds 533 MHz • 400 MHz • 333 MHz (same as above)

Max Supported RAM 2 GB (this would suggest the same results as the scan carried out above)

OK, I think the easiest way to find out if you're not sure of your model number is to actually open up the underside of the laptop, or lift up the keyboard, and find out what type of module is inserted already, if it's DDR it will say something PC-2700 and if it's DDR2 it will say something like PC2-5300.

For this advice... have you ever heard of fellatio?

yes...and it has nothing to do with computers -.-

i have a pc so i cant look on the underside of the laptop xD

I hate playing on laptops....

hate that retarded touch pad thing...

but anywyz.. 2 days Till HOLIDAYSZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

and im going to York till Monday

Open the side of the computer and check the label on the side of the memory modules if you can

Clicky - In IE (let it run the ActiveX control), or you have to do a download. It will tell you what (Crucial) memory works in your system, which should have all the necessary DDR type information for you to decide what RAM to buy. DDR and DDR2 are NOT compatable.

From your processor I can't tell which type you need (it's one from around the time Intel changed over), but if it's DDR, get PC3200, and if it's DDR2, get PC5300 or better.

EDIT: It looks like you've already used this tool (I just ran it, and you've got text from the page). However, you missed the useful info; to the left of where you copied the text from it should say what memory you already have, with little pictures of RAM and text undernieth each one. That text is the important text. It should say something like "DDR PC3200", and you want to find memory that has the same numbers (or can be better, in the case of PC number), preferably from a pair of RAM.

Yeah don't ever make the mistake of thinking that DDR and DDR2 are compatible. Their pins are different. A worse mistake still is getting DDR2 and DDR3 mixed up - their pins are arranged in the same way, but put the wrong module in a board and it's very highly likely that it will fry the module. I've had a colleague do this before and it actually killed the motherboard too.

Edit: Some boards are compatible with both, but modules are either DDR2 or DDR3, never both.
