How many modules are installed and how much memory does each hold?
Many of the memory manufacturer websites have tools which will scan your computer and let you know how many memory modules and the size which are installed. There are also programs which you can download which will tell you the same thing. The other option is to open your computer and determine the number of memory modules that are installed, normally the memory modules will all be the same size. To ensure the size of the memory modules you should remove them and read the labels.
Are there certain brands or types of computer PC memory that are better suited for overclocking?
Yes. The memory modules that come installed in most home PCs will not hold up to the stress of being overclocked. There are many aftermarket memory modules, one of the more notable companies being Corsair and Kingston. However, if you really want to push into overclocking memory, I would find a motherboard that runs DDR3 memory modules and invest in a couple, as DDR3 just by design run a little faster than DDR2 and run significantly cooler than DDR2.
What is the part that has motherboard memory etc called?
The BIOS is part of the motherboard memory that is for many cases nonprogrammable and is used to boot up a computer system.
How many degrees does an ATX motherboard and memory slots rotated?
On an ATX motherboard, the CPU and memory slots are rotated 90 degrees from the position on the AT mobo.-Ben H
What is faster two 256 MB modules or one 512 MB module?
Question: Which is faster, two 256 MB modules or one 512 MB module? Answer: it depends. If your system's motherboard, chipset, BIOS and CPU support something called "dual channel", then the answer is: two 256 MB modules. Dual channel mode hypothetically permits double the bandwidth relative to single channel by widening the memory address path from 64 bits to 128 bits. In the real world, this equates to a memory throughput increase of roughly 10 to 20% - not double, but still significant. Keep these things in mind for future expansion/upgrading: 1.) If you want to upgrade to 1 GB, *AND* 2.), your system has dual channel, *AND* 3.), your system has only two memory sockets on the motherboard (as so many systems these day often do), then you'll have to toss the two 256 MB modules of memory and get two matched 512 MB modules. A single 1 GB module may work in your system, but you will not get dual channel. If you want to upgrade to 4 GB, and your motherboard has only two memory sockets, keep in mind that 2 GB memory modules are extremely rare (except for more modern DDR2 and DDR3 types of memory), and they usually don't work in most systems anyway. In other words, if your system supports dual channel, always install memory modules in matched pairs, up to the maximum your system permits (again, check your owner's manual). If your system has four memory sockets, and you want 1 GB of memory total, then you're fine. Just fill all the sockets with identical 256 MB modules for 1 GB total, and you'll still get the benefits of dual channel. If your system doesn't support dual channel memory addressing, then the answer is: neither is faster. In this instance, you'd probably be better off getting the one 512 MB module, because it would free up another memory socket on the motherboard for future expansion (provided, of course, that another socket exists, and that the system will permit more than 512MB of memory).

Is the new expansion memory compatible with the existing memory installed in the laptop?
It totally depends on many things. There are so many different things that could hinder compatibility (this gets especially tricky when trying to use new memory on old computers or old memory modules on new ones) it's easier just to do this: go to your laptop manufacturer's website and find your model then check for a compatibility sheet or document. Often, they are PDF files available for download. They can also be found if you know your computer's motherboard. For example, if my computer as an ASUS motherboard with model number XXXXXX I can find this motherboard on ASUS' website, look at the compatibility sheet and it lists all the memory guaranteed to work on that motherboard. The easiest way to add more is to figure out what's already in the laptop and buy another module or two.
How many slots for memory modals are included on your motherboard?
It depends on your motherboard. Some motherboards have only 2 slots while others can have up to 6.
Is it better to keep as many support modules in the kernel as possible?
It depends. Obviously the more you have in the kernel the less you will have for resident memory. This may improve performance if these modules are in use, or it might just take up memory if they are not active. With dynamic loadable modules the idea was to install the module in the resident kernel if it were required at run time rather than compiling them into the kernel. This way an admin can load and unload the modules at will, assuming they know when the modules will be in use.
Can you upgrade your ram without removing any current memory modules?
That depends on how many slots you have and if they are all filled or not.
How many gigs is the Intel BOXDP45SG ATX Motherboard?
The Intel P45SG can support up to eight gigabytes of memory across its four memory slots.
How many GB ram does an Intel Pentium 4 support?
Yes, depending on the motherboard. Most Pentium 4 chipsets support up to 4 GB of RAM, although the motherboard may not physically support enough RAM modules.
