In my old computer, which I'm not using, it has also 2 256MB of memory but its an SDRAM. Is it possible to join 2 DDR and 2 SDRAM in my new computer? </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/pc133-or-pc166#post-379 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 11:51:50 +0000 Val 379@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>A friend of mine helped me in assembling my desktop computer. He bought all the parts of it and assembled it. Now when we were buying memory cards, I noticed that there are codes like PC133 and PC166 on the description of the memory. What are they and is it always better to buy the highest value in the description? </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/overclocking-1#post-356 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:40:25 +0000 Jerry 356@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>What is overclocking? Sounds like a quick and cheap way to turbo-charge my computer without going the route of those expensive upgrades. Is this something that is 'relatively' easy to do? </p> http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/topic/need-scymatics#post-358 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 13:05:31 +0000 Allison 358@http://www.freecomputerrepair.com/repair-questions/ <p>I am looking for scymatics for a M925 Series p400 motherboard.
