I got a dilemma I got PC System of Asrock G31M-S Mobo Intel Core 2 Duo 7500 a Palit 9500GT Videocard of 1gig and 1pcs of 2Gig DDR2 memory and running at windows XP32bit. Then I tried to add another 2 gig of memory to my system Bios detects 2pcs 2gig memory but at the system tab it only recognized 3.12Gig of Ram . As I search the reason on the web it states that the reason why it only detect 3.12Gig was because im using a 32bit windows system. Now I'm thinking if is it reasonable to add up another 2 gig of memory to my system or only 1 gig of memory. I cannot see some answers if the missing .88 Gig on my 4gig system is used and maximized well.

 

It is okay to make it 3GB of RAM as long as they are both dual channel if you're using 32-bit OS.

 

mga masters tanong ko lang, whats the difference between a 64bit and 32 bit softwares. madalas kasi akong may mabasa na ganyan eh. thanks

 

64 Bit Uses large amount of RAM compared to 32 Bit. By means, 64 bit uses large amount of Physical RAM to process large amount of data in a short period compared to a 32 bit. 64 bit also can recognize up to 12 GB of RAM ( 6 x 2GB of RAM ) as for the 32 bit can only recognize up to 3 GB of RAM.

 

This does not necessarily mean it outwitted the 32 bit softwares.

 

What to consider when you install a 64-bit version.

-compatibility issue with 32-bit softwares and hardware drivers may not work properly since most of the hardware supports 32 bit.

- most of the existing softwares are ONLY compatible with 32-bit. ly for a 64-bit operating system.

 

 

 

Mga Sir itatanong ko lng related din namn sa computer.. is it possible ba na maka pag assemble ng sariling pc or customize ng pc ang taong hnd namn ganun kalawak ang knowledge nya sa pc? or meron bang book dummy na e2ng parts na yan dto mo ilalagay yan, e2ng wire na yan dapat d2 yan.. something na ganun.. just asking lng..

 

You don't need a book just to know how to assemble one AS LONG AS YOU READ THE MANUAL. :) All motherboards have manuals. Doon mo makikita saan mo dapat isaksak ang mga wirings at connections. Para ka lang nagbubuo ng lego.

 

The main problem is power supply vs hardware you're going to buy.

 

Low Build PC consumes 200 - 500 watts.

Average Build PC are usually supplied by 500 watts - 600 watts.

High End build PC are usually supplied 550 watts - 1000 watts.

 

I attest to this because I for one did not know how to build one for myself. But through alot of reading and the power of google. I assembled my own PC. :) ^_^

Thanks in advance sa mga masters na makakatulong sa prob ko. OS ko ay Windows Vista Home Basic and more than a year ko na rin nagagamit to PC ko and since then never ko pa naactivate or na-enable (im not sure sa right word na dapat ko gamitin) ang administrator account ko till last week i decided to activate or enable it using command prompt and ito yung ginawa ko, Run as Admin ako sa CMD.exe then type ko ang command na net user Administrator /active:yes..... advice ng isang friend ko to enable my admin acct or try to run my CorelDraw as admin acct. (now this is the reason kung bakit ko enenable ang admin account: in more than a year ko kasi gamit ang CorelDraw ko e ok naman pero last week bigla na lang ito hindi gumana sa standard user acct. in short i tried what he told me and ok naman, nagwork nga yung corel draw ko pero bumagal ang MS office, photoshop and some softwares ko kaya i tried to disabled the other day ang admin account using CMD again, ito ngayon ang prob, when i enabled the admin acct, syempre nilagyan ko ng password, and nung na dinisable ko sya e hindi ko naremove ang password, so ngayon na balik standard user acct na ako everytime na may ida-download ako or anything na may kinalaman ang admin acct, a small window always appear with this message (windows needs your permission to continue/ to continue, type an administrator password, and then click OK, sa window na yun ay merong OK & CANCEL button pero wala ako makitang place to type the password.. Now i cannot even Run as Admin ang Command Prompt kasi hinihingi nya ang password which is i really dont know where to type the password and dont know talaga kung ano ang gagawin. hope you could help me with this mga masters. Thanks again.

sirs, i bought my rig a couple months back and now my pc cant detect my hard drive. so i keep restarting my pc until it can detects my hard drive. what do you think is the problem sirs?

 

It could be sign of a defective hdd,cable, power or sata port. Try replacing the sata cable if its sata hdd or IDE cable if ide hdd. Check also the power for the hdd, if your pc still has extra molex try to swap it. If your pc is still under warranty , it would be better to send it back to the shop so they can check the hdd.
