568680 2007-07-13 03:24:00 How might you tell if one computer part is compatible with another e.g. RAM card with motherboard. JDoggyDogg (12550)
568681 2007-07-13 03:31:00 Welcome to PressF1 :)

Look at the type of RAM slot on the motherboard, compare it to the RAM your looking at. The internet is really good for specs of that type of thing :p

568682 2007-07-13 03:35:00 Do you know what the brand/model of the motherboard is??

If u do a search in Google/Yahoo, this will tell u what kind of ram it uses.

Well i'm not actually looking at any motherboard and ram card in particular just general guidelines about which two things go together

568684 2007-07-13 08:12:00 First you have to identify the stuff, using something like this (http://www.gtopala.com/) if you don't already have the spec sheets.

Any particular motherboard will have a manual. In this manual it will say precisely what kind of ram fits. Not sure what else you're asking.

568685 2007-07-13 08:12:00 Well it helps if u know what the brand and model is of the motherboard you have .

So you can see what kind of ram it needs .

Or else, you'll buy the wrong ram . It wont fit in the ram slots on the mobo .

Any motherboard can go in a system (ie: like if you're going to make a PC up), but then you have to buy a CPU and ram to match whatever the motherboard supports .

Most IDE hdd's should work on any system (for now) .

As long as its got IDE connectors on it . The more recent motherboard can use IDE and SATA connectors on it . As above IDE hdd's will work on it . But for SATA, you'll need a SATA hdd and the cables to use it / so it works .
