Help clearing various doubts!

1. I have two PCs one having two chips of 128MB SDRAM@133mhz and another one having one chip of 256 MB DDR RAM@133MHZ. Now can i install that 256 MB DDR RAM with those two SDRAMs, as their frequency is same??

2. Is there any way to assign the graphics card some system memory? If yes, how?

Thanx!

1. Dunno, but I think yes!
2. U mean onboard graphics right? That can be done from BIOS!

So u can assign onboard graphics some system memory from BIOS. But can we do the same to a graphics card (not onboard)??
Sorry if i sound dumb!

@Rey619, To assign the Graphics card some System memory. Go to BIOS. In BIOS
choose Advanced Chipset Features press Enter. Here make these following changes:

Video BIOS Cacheable -> Enabled
AGP Aperture Size(MB) -> 128

On-chip Video Window Size -> 128MB
on-chip Frame Buffer Size -> 8MB

Save the Settings (press F10 or whatever as per your BIOS manufacturer)
This should drastically improve the Graphics performance of your PC definitely.

Hey jGuru does this work on onboard graphics only or external cards also?
thanx!

If u have got a external graphics then no chance. If internal then use the Jguru one

I have an external card DAMN!! seems like no hope for playing games, except to upgrade the motherboard...

Hey ppl i havnt yet got a clear reply of this question...!!
Thanx!!

Yea for external, u wont be able to! As for above their frequencies match, but their DRAM types dont. I Never tried connecting diff DRAM types and never heard of it.

[REY619]

Hmm well i will try anyway..... OR anyone else wanna express their views on the above question, please go on.....

You cannot use DDR with SDRAM .. You can use either of them but not both.

DDR RAM dont run at 133MHz

what are the platform of both PC (MOTHER BOARD, PROCESSOR)
CLARIFY

[REY619]

The one is intel Celeron 2.4Ghz with 256MB DDR RAM@133mhz and the other is P4 1.6 Ghz with 256 MB SD RAM@133MHz, both are i845 based......
