If your motherboard supports DIMM memory will RIMM memory still work on the board?

No. RIMM only works with RD-Ram boards. Different memory have different pins

How can you distinguish memory slots on the motherboard?
If you are referring specifically to what a memory slot looks like, they will be paired slots, normally located (if holding the motherboard upright) toward the top-right of the board. Newer boards will often have up to 6 memory (or RAM) slots, paired, with each pair being a different colour (for example pair of red, pair of grey, then a pair of red). However, if you are wondering how to find out what RAM your motherboard supports, more often than not, if you still have the motherboard documents, the booklet from the motherboard packaging will contain that information. If you don't still have it, look on the motherboard for the make and model and put it into a search engine (or go to the manufacturer's website!)
Can you combine both SIMM and DIMM together on a motherboard which has both sloth?
According to every motherboard manual I have ever read, no you cannot. SIMM memory, now archaic and as far as I know unused on any board still functional today, used different voltages than DIMM memory.
If you are throwing away an old computer can you still use its memory on a new computer?
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.
What motherboard supports latest processor and 8GB RAM?
The latest processor, the Intel Core i7, only supports ram in multiples of 3 (e.g. 3GB, 6GB, 9GB, etc). Any motherboard using the Intel X58 chipset will support the Core i7.Three popular motherboard choices are (but there are still many others out there):EVGA E760 ClassifiedASUS Rampage II ExtremeGIGABYTE EX58-UD5
Technician is assembling a new computer Which two components are often easier to install before mounting the motherboard in the case?
Before mounting the motherboard in the case I like to install the CPU and CPU fan/heatsink on to the motherboard. In fact, it is recommended to install the CPU & heatsink while the motherboard is still our of the case to make the job easier.
If we want to upgrade a old PC system that's still usefull is then this is my qeustion which components can in any case not go to another system?
Most likely the need for an upgrade is as a result of slow processor, old mother board, small HDD, slow memory etc. An upgrade of memory (RAM to speed up computer) depends on the motherboard slots available. The fundamental issue is, does your mother board support latest upgrades on your system? Baulen
Do computers have memory cards?
It depends on what you call a memory card. There are memory sticks (SDRAM, DDR, DDR2 DDR3) you can use to install and upgrade the memory. In the old days, memory came in the form of peripheral cards that you could use once you used up all the sockets on the motherboard. Little did most know that there was a simple motherboard modification that allowed you to use larger denominations of DRAM chips. Still, in those days, you could only have 640K.
How do you troubleshoot a motherboard?
If the motherboard powers up but does not post, turn off and remove the memory sticks then restart, if the board is good you should get beeps from the board letting you know that the board has a memory error, if no beeps then it is possible the processor is bad, get a known good processor and if still no beeps then then the motherboard is toast
Can a 64 bit os use more than 4GB of memory?
You can install more than 4 GB if the motherboard supports it. However, pure 32-bit operating systems cannot access any more. Some server versions of Windows, along with PAE-enabled Linux kernels, can access up to 64 GB of memory, though this is rather inefficient, and each program is still limited to 3 GB of RAM.
Why might you not mind using slower memory if faster memory is available for a marginal price?
The first reason is that your computer may not be able to run at the speed of the faster memory, so there would be no benefit. The second may be if the computer is not compatible with the faster memory. Depending on the design of the motherboard, some computers cannot take memory faster than they are designed for. In theory, faster memory is supposed to be programmed with the settings to run at the slower speed, but the settings are not always correct, and the faster RAM may still cause a problem with the memory controller of the computer.
If you put i motherboard in my sisters old laptop will her files still be on the laptop?
No. Information is saved on the hard drive of the computer, no the motherboard.
Why your RAM can use only 2 GB while you hve 6 GB?
Your board may support up to 32Gb of RAM, but if you are using a Windows 32-bit operating system, it supports a maximum memory of only 3.72Gb irrespective or the amount you have installed. To have your PC use more memory you need to install the Windows XP or 7 64-bit environment, but you need to have a 64-bit CPU. It will still run your 32-bit software.
