Thanks for the answer, guys. I was getting a little worried there. I just put it together recently & all seems OK, but was afraid I was going to have to take out some ram:) Some of us older fellas have a little trouble absorbing all this stuff at times:)

"Yes you can, it operates on a bellcurve. The higher you go, the less increase in performace you have. And if you arent using an NT based OS, over 512mb can HURT your system." Ecniv, I'm running WinXP with 1024 pc2700. Don't mean to jump in this thread if not supposed to, but is this harmful to...

Will answer my own post:) From what I've been reading, my cpu,XP2200, only has a front bus speed of 266. XP2700 is the first of the line with a front bus speed of 333. So I guess I've just wasted money buying pc2700 DDR333 Ram. I thought that if the mobo supported DDR333, that's what I should...

HI. I have an asus a7s333 mobo. It says I can use either pc2100 or pc2700. I am using 512mb pc2700. When checking with SIS Sandra it says I am running at 266. I thought the spd would automatically set for 333. I guess it doesn't. Anyone can give me an idea how to set this up in the bios? I have...

OK, I will leave it out. Thanks for your help. First build it myself unit, gets confusing out here:)

Please pardon the misspelling of your name Ecniv.

Do you think that is why it was left out of the bare bones assembly for the case, just not really needed anymore? Will the dial up modem come thru the on board speaker when dial up modem installed? Or is your advice to just forget about it? Thanks for your reply CCNIV

HI all. Just purchased a bare bones combo...mobo, processor, case, power supply, assembled. While ordering other parts I happenned to notice there is no case speaker in this case. Is this needed with the newer mobos? I would only use dial up modem to send fax, so wouldn't actually need to hear...

At the risk of giving obvious advice, have you tried just burning a "cd-audio" or "cd-music" blank disk with your burning software? Most burning programs for cd writers automatically change mp3 to wav format if told to burn an audio cd. You must use the proper blank cd media for it to work in...

This is probably obvious & superfulous, but have you tried system restore? Go back to a date, if possible, b4 you noticed your trouble. As for the cause, I can only relate that I have had experiences, one today, in fact, where my home page has been changed by some other web site without my...

Thanks for the help. I will go with the true pc2700. I didn't realize what they were talking about was pc2100 which had been overclocked by the manufacturer or somebody to attain pc2700 status.

Am looking for ram for asus a7s333 board with xp2200. First build myself system. A recommended site for ram, buyaib.com, says pc2100 to pc2700. Says this is overclocked ram? Not quite sure what this means or if it is going to matter to me since I am not a gamer. Just thought to build a faster...
