okay, i'm not too familiar on this subject, so i was hoping someone here might know more then i do. (Very likely, as i know nothing) i recently purchased a 1 gig stick of ram for my comp, but it had a 256 already (old comp, bout 6 years old now.) and i installed it easily. however, a friend told me i should just install the 1 gig, and leave the 256 out (i have 2 slots, sadly.) i wanted to know if this is true. he said it had something to do with the way computers handle ram.
another question, is that i was told it is posible to devote some of your natural hard drive to a form of RAM, or Faux Ram (From what i know, it's no where near as effective, but it can help) is this true? if so, is it safe to do it, and are there limits to what i should do?
sorry for asking all these questions, but i'm completely clueless.
