The nForce motherboard chipset was first produced in 2005. Currently, production of the nForce motherboard has been stopped due to legal reasons with no settlement in site.
P4s come in several different speeds. The slowest is 1.7 gz and the fastest is 3.4 gz. It depends on various factors such as the chipset that comes on the motherboard and whether it is one of the first ones produced or one of the newer ones.
You will first need to determine who made your motherboard (Gigabyte, DFI, Asus just to name a few) Next to the name should be some numbers, this is the model of board. Write it down. Then go to the manufacturers website and look up the board number, this will tell you what chipset and features the board has.
It will work. I recently installed an XFX 8600 GT XXX edition on my MSI-RS480M2 motherboard. You first have to disable the onboard graphics controller from BIOS. To do this, go to the BIOS and in the Advanced Chipset Features->Internal Video->UMA->Disable. Then, install the card. If your operating system boots normally, that means the card is working fine.
RAM=Random Access Memory, used for fast swapping of data on computer Processor= a small chip on the motherboard performing millions+calculations a second. your computer uses ram all the time to keep background apps open, and to basically run everything. your computer uses your processor when you do graphic intensive or calculation intensive things, such as gaming, video converting, multiple things at once, like running Photoshop, a video encoder, your internet browser, and watching a movie. now if you want to know which to upgrade, it depends on the current status of your computer, and your aim of the upgrade.
If you are sure that both memory pieces are working then you can have at least two explanations to what is happening. First one is the chipset that you have on your motherboard does not support more than 4 Gb of RAM (read the manual for more details). Second is the memory you both cannot work with your motherboard because it uses to low frequency.
Install the motherboard first. The drives will have wiring harness to connect to the motherboard.
It's called the Northbridge Chipset. It's a memory controller hub that handles communication between the CPU, memory, PCI cards, and AGP cards. The term came from the position/location of the Northbridge Chipset on the Motherboard. being placed "north" of the CPU. It communicates to the CPU via the "Front Side Bus" (FSB)
chips and tecnology.
Unless the new motherboard is the same chipset/model as the old one, Windows will not be able to boot up. The Windows HAL [Hardware Abstraction Layer] must be reconfigured to use your new motherboard. First back up all of your data! Afterwards, try running a windows repair using your Windows install disk. If this does not correct the problem, you will need to do a fresh install of Windows.
IBM has invented the 1st motherboard, ram and etc
Verify that you have selected the right motherboard to install in the system.
