Maybe that's something worn-out potentiometers do? I have a monitor where the volume knob displays the same behavior...

So it does indeed :)
But I'm still stuck with 2GB cause the new RAM won't work. Apparently, my mainboard accepts a max of 4x1GB, but only when the modules are single sided, and these things appear to be double sided. So these new modules may go straight back to the shop, and I'm on the hunt again for either 4x1GB single sided, or (much easier) 2x2GB.
Why can't memory just be memory, stupid pc hardware designers.... :mad:

welcome to the world of win7, if u use the 32bit version 4gig is the max addressable so like has been said if you got a 1GB GFX card u will have just under 3GB for windows and lose the duel channel of the second pair of ram chips I think, can someone plz confirm. I run with a 4GB swap file or there a bouts and have only come close to useing all available mem once when running windows ErrorChecking on a big drive. I personaly think 2GB of memory with a resonable fast CPU is good enough for most day today activerties I certainly would`t want any less
Might start a thread on the 64Bit ver of win 7 as never really used it, hint hint someone do a review

Nice retro TV
Might want get some contact fluid for them controls, comes in a can and can be fun to spray around has be roumerd to give u contacts hehehehehe.
Now be absulatly sure what u are doing befor u go messing in the back of the thing, I know there are a few old TV repair guys on amybay and a couple on EAB, I don`t go any where else :lol:
Dual-channel is dependent on the motherboard, I think. I've had at least one system report dual-channel enabled with 4GB RAM and a 512MB card.
Arrived today my Lantronix UDS200. It is a lovely device that emulates a serial modem directly to LAN, so you can hook two (or just one) computer to a network or router and PRESTO! instant internet access. :)
My motherboard (Gigabyte EP31-DS3L) uses dual channel, but when using all 4 memory slots it's limited to single sided memory modules. I'll just return the modules and get a set of 2x2GB, and ditch the old 2x1 that is now on the motherboard.
Since I'm installing Win7-64bit I shouldn't have any trouble with a combination of RAM and a 1GB gfx card. Or at least I hope so... :roll:
yep thats the point of 64bit
Hell_Labs, starting like your m8 heheheh, pics plz
You wont use up a 64 bit's memory address allocation.
So dont worry about that lol..
having said that im sure they said the same when we went to 32bit os's
But this time im sure its true lol..
i know for a fact the address allocation on 64bit is HUGE even compared to 32bit.
Its not something to worry about..
But windows 7 x64 dosent like to display 32bit apps in full screen for me.
gets all garbled black screen with white lines..
Havent been botherd to figure out why yet. maybe i should google and see if any 1 els has teh same issue or if M$ released a fix.
if not il take my ass back to xp.
i dont like how windows 7 wont let me set it to look like windows 98 any way.
@Hell_Labs
as for interfearance when twisting a knob..
on amps we used to spray the pot with anti static spray and that usualy fixed it. to my knowlage its just a bunch of static.
