Wed, 30 Sep 2009 17:47:46 +0100
I put a couple of gig of DDR in my owd Intel, it doesn't work 845 chipset.
It is the same type of memory in that it is PC400 but is there likely to be
an issue with the number of chips etc?

DAT72 multimedia storage
Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:32:08 +0100

a new 200Gb Quantum 2 drive. At present the old drive is sitting in my
draw. In addition there are loads of associated DDS2, DDS3, DDS4 and DAT72
