    CwGoh got a reaction from Cosmic Friend in Ram upgrade on an E2-1800 APU   
    Getting another stick would help, by not enabing dual-channel as the controller is single channel, but by having more vacant RAM for the GPU to use as memory. But be sure to use 1333MHz ram with the lowest CAS lateny rating (minimum 9 imo) to boost gaming performance. :)

    For audiophiles, high-quality MP3 players are still a thing. Very niche though.

    They're more or less the same, just choose one with decent VRM hearsinks since you're using an AIO. I'll go for Asus, Gigabyte and MSI.

    People who think consoles are cheaper than the PC for gaming (though that's more of short-sighted perspective.)
    The Macbook Air boots quicker than PC laptops because it's a Mac and it's all software optimised.
    Installing a bunch of spyware toolbars for IE/YouTube downloaders then give some half-arsed excuse, eg "My son installed Steam and there's a virus!"
    You can fix a hard drive by pressing on it. 
    If a hard drive even touches the floor it will die. (got scolded by a teacher by almost slipping a external hard drive and she threatened me that I had to face discipline action if the drive died. Imagine the number of shots my school's ICT Assistant and I took at her over coffee lol.)
    Unpluging a USB flash drive without safely removing it will cause inevitable doom!

    If you really need extreme silence you can go with laptop HDDs. (Smaller spinning parts, less noise and vibration.) Desktop WD Greens will be very quiet but a  Barracuda will be slightly louder but quite a bit faster though

    CwGoh got a reaction from Beskamir in Why is VGA so bad?   
    LCDs are digital panels. While VGA are analogue connectors. Adapters are needed to convert the signal. And normally, the converters inside the displays are crap. Also, since VGA is an analogue standard, you need a good cable or the quality will suck. Digital standards like HDMI, the cables do not matter. 
     
    Additionally, the pins in the cable always break.

    800MHz is correct. DDR3 is Double Data Rate 3 so the frequency is doubled from the reported number. For getting it to 1866, try going into your BIOS and setting the XMP profile.

    Download and flash a BIOS that has a higher maximum frequency, and you are done. However, make sure the BIOS is compatible with your card.

    CwGoh got a reaction from Vitalius in RAM/Memory Speed Question   
    It may. There are many variables, and I frankly do not know. More research is needed. My hunch is if the rendering is on the CPU, fast ram may help, but if more things are offloaded to the GPU, it will make less of a difference. But that is all a guess though.
