Not quite as advertised by
Menno Hershberger
I bought item #190519936850 on eBay
Item description was:
512MB LOW DENSITY Memory ram 184 PIN DDR PC3200 400Mhz
What I got was... http://mewnlite.com/Kingston.jpg\
Which is half a 1Gb kit.
Aren't those supposed to be installed in pairs?
Or doesn't it make any difference?

shared processing work (as in the old 3dFX cards or the current Sli/CF
cards)?
Does this sound reasonable or would it be impossible to...

Select MB for I/O performance? by
Bert Hyman
Is I/O performance strictly determined by chipset selection, or do some
makers manage to consistently get better I/O performance through their
own clever designs?
For an Intel-based MB, what's the best choice for building a system in

Hi,
What memory cards can I buy to plug into a HP Mini 210-1100?
How do they compare with a USBstick?
Or are the memory cards just for devices like cameras, which
don't take a USBstick?
Or for cell phones?
