Hi,
My pc specifications are-
HP Pavilion a1515in
Base processor
Pentium4 524 (P) HT 3.06 GHz
• 533 MHz front side bus
• Socket 775
Chipset
ATI Radeon Xpress 200 for Intel Processors
Motherboard
• Manufacturer: ECS
• Motherboard Name: RC410-M
HP/Compaq motherboard name: Asterope2-GL8E
OS- Windows XP SP2
1) Can the FSB speed be increased from 533 MHz to 800 MHz?
2) Does the Existing FSB speed of 533 MHz makes any limitations to the working of the RAM module? There is something like it written in the specification of RAM also like my existing RAM is 533MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory! I have read in pc mags that many memory modules come with specification like 533 MHz, 800 MHz…etc
I opened my pc case and removed my memory module. It was written on it- 512 Mb 1R*8 PC2-4200U-444-12. Does this specification means that my existing memory module is infact working on 444MHz?
I checked in with transcend site as I wanted to buy a new RAM module and in their website there is a provision to search for the specific RAM as per the PC type. So the information I got was – for 1GB – DDR2 Memory 240pin FB-DIMM DDR2- 533 ECC Fully Buffered DIMM.
Is this specification same if compared with my existing RAM module?
In the pc shops available RAM is of 667 MHz of 1GB. Is it compatible with my pc?
3) I have installed a new graphics card 512 MB NVidia GeForce 7300 GTI. I was thinking that my pc would combine the onboard graphics card ATI Radeon Xpress 200 with the newer one! But its not! Can my inbuilt graphic card somehow be put into use as well for getting extensive graphics?
4) My pc is not booting properly after I had installed the new graphic card. I had to press F10 and somehow the pc got started by showing a page of BIOS information in start-up. Then I again shut down and started by pressing F1 for MSDOS page. After clicking esc, the system regained normal boot! Then again the next day, it again never booted. So I opened the pc case and pressed the graphic card and it booted normally. Then I checked for restarting the system and again the same problem. Again I had to press in the graphic card. I even cleaned the PCI exp slot and still the problem persists. I wanted to ask that does the new graphic card puts load on the power supply unit, or the mainboard functioning? As everything from fans to RAM is working properly!Is this something preceding for a system crash? Even when I removed my graphics card, the system boots very normally.
5) I have seen many local Indian-made computers. They have just 2 GHz speed, 128 MB RAM and a simple DVD writer. When a data DVD is inserted, it hardly takes 3 to 7 secs to open the DVD. But I have been using Light Scribe DVD writer which takes a minute to read the DVD! I had it replaced under warranty from HP and still the same problem is again seen! Do the techs do some modifications for obtaining better results with lower RAM usage of new pc hardware?
