It should not cause any sound issues. If you have an on board sound card that has issues, more memory might help.
If by sound you mean noise from fans and hard drives - not likely, though if you do a lot of memory intensive processes then you'd have fewer hard drive writes since less info would need to go to the hard drive.
No, changing your RAM will not affect your files. Your files are stored on your hard drive, which is a separate piece of hardware from the RAM. Once you shut down your system, your files are safely stored on the hard drive, so adding new RAM or replacing old RAM will have no effect on your files.
it probably will work however i would recommend getting more RAM because otherwise you cant run any other program at the same time as a program tha is using the RAM at full capacity e.g. a computer game
It's highly unlikely the RAM and Hard Drive from a 2001 Motherboard will be compatible with a modern Motherboard.
When you upgrade the memory of a computer more applications can be run simultaneously. This will make the computer seem to run faster, almost like a brand new computer.
RAM from graphic cards does not contribute to overall RAM on a computer. A graphic card that has RAM will only use that RAM for the use of the graphic card itself and no other parts of the computer. This means that the RAM that is on the graphic card is only used to store images that are being sent to the graphic card itself. The RAM on the graphic card allows the card to handle much more graphic intensive scenes, and puts a lot less stress on the graphic card, because instead of the graphic card having to process every bit of information for the scene that is sent to it. ( lets say your graphic card as 1GB of RAM on it ) The graphic card can store at least 1 GB of RAM in its memory to process later, allowing the card to finish processing the information that it was processing before the new information came in. Hope this helps.
A computer will not accept a new RAM that has a different voltage than the factory installed RAM cards.
Absolutely. Considering your new computer's motherboard supports the same type of ram. I'm assuming you have a ddr2 ram compatible computer and that your purchasing a new computer with a ddr2 compatible motherboard.
If your computer has a sound card there is no need to purchase a new one.
If you mean RAM. then you may transfer it, but the new motherboard must support the same type of RAM.
"I will dismantle this computer to install new RAM and a new hard drive."
No, changing your RAM will not affect your files. Your files are stored on your hard drive, which is a separate piece of hardware from the RAM. Once you shut down your system, your files are safely stored on the hard drive, so adding new RAM or replacing old RAM will have no effect on your files.
Its suddenly seems that your computer can't keep up and the drive light is flickering like crazy, it's probably to install a new ram witch can take 5-15 minutes
You could either uninstall some programs you arent using or get a new computer with more RAM.
You may need a new sound card if this keeps happening. If you have a warranty on your computer, you can contact the manufacturer to determine if they can replace the sound card.
If you're installing a new computer sound system, then you'll need some basic knowledge on the subject in order to succeed. It's important to make sure that the computer in question can support the new sound system.
The computer detects the amount of RAM accessible during boot. On some systems the amount of RAM is printed on the screen during boot.
Rub a magnet on the hard drive.
