You don't have an XP rig?I'm on two Frankenstein-like desktops pieced together from freshly purchased motherboards, DRAMs, graphic cards and CPUs, and the rest looted from my well fed electronic junkyard.
In a nutshell:
MB: ASROCK Z77 - ASROCK Z68
CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 3.2GHz quad core - Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz quad core
DRAM: 4GB DDR3 dual channel 666 MHz - 16GB DDR3 dual channel 665 MHz
GRAPH: 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 (point of view)
DISPLAY: 2 x SAMSUNG 1920x1200 pixel, 1 shared
HDD: 1x500GB mounted, 2x1TB external - 1x500GB mounted, 6x1TB external
KVM switch to share keyboard, mouse and one monitor between the systems.
Had to ask speccy, for in the other room the old girl has a similar (but not identical) arrangement and thus I tend to forget what is where and which is which...
Alas no, the flat is too small! But perhaps squeezing a little the rose bush to the left a tiny one might fit on the balcony...
Thanks dude, you always help me with my laptop problems, so the 3.3v and 2.5v are different notches? also is the manual or the RAM/Mobo correct?All memory, including your DDR, have different keys and notches cut into different spots on the bottom of the memory modules. These notches make it physically impossible to install incompatible memory into a motherboard, so no you won't fry your computer
(Keeping this in mind, if you can't get it in, rotate it 180 degrees and try again.)
Witch each ram specification they move the notch. That way incorrect ram doesn't fit. The manual if you have it, it should tell you which ram to get. Or you can always look at the sticker the ram has. But the manual will tell you how much Ram the motherboard supports in MB or GB.
Manual says 3.3v, but the RAM slot on the computer says 2.5v and the ram model hat came in that dell after research is 2.5v
I use a Samsung R510 laptop;
