Getting these >>>

I feel like getting a DVD writer and more RAM for my computer, but like I say, I do not know how to assemble them leh?
And, does any CPU ram just works for my computer??? and how about the DVD writer?
If I buy them, will it be easy to connect them? -
yes of course. even ditzy can do it

But they aren't cheap.
For RAM, cannot suka suka buy any type of RAM you want. Get your motherboard manual out and read what type of RAM is supported, then buy.
As for putting in, look at the hole in the RAM stick (circle in red)
Then look at the motherboard, the RAM slots specifically. Make sure the hole tally with the motherboard. If it does, just flip it around (make sure the golden metal is still facing downwards)
Put it in properly, and press down gently. Make sure you hear a click sound, this will mean the RAM stick has slotted in properly.
For DVD drive, there's this thing popping out (circled in red)
That will tell you how to plug in. If one way doesn't work, don't force in. Flip it around. To connect to the motherboard, same thing. This connects to another slot next to your hard disk, trace your hard disk IDE cable... -
My comp is COMPAQ Evo 510 whatever de..
finally found some hardware manual on HP's website.
so does it means the ram that i got to buy is the one i circled???
my hardware manual:
the type of ram i buying:
-
Yes.
-
another thing i want to ask is, is it possible to increase the size of the harddisk too?!?!
-
Yup.

ehh how?!?!Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Yup.
btw, is it worth it actually worth it to get DVD writer ar? -
Never read properly.Originally posted by Y_Shun:ehh how?!?!

Increase size of hard disk - physically or the amount of space? Physically, I don't think so. But if the amount of space, yes. Buy a new one lor...
Looking at the prices of DVD now, yeah... nowadays they even come with dual layer. -
yeah...dual layer sounds gd...
DVD writers now consider cheap liao...worth to get. -
actually i am not talking abt the physical size of the harddisk but the internal storage space~
my harddisk only 40gb, damn little
can't imagine how did i survivie last time using win 95 on 4gb harddisk only(when i was small)
if i changed the harddisk, then how do i restore the contents? cuz mine its compaq ma, how do i use the recovery disc on the harddisk itself?

okay, now is which ram already??!?!
this CPU-Z shows 133MHz ram, but is it the same or is it different with the 266MHz ram?!?! -
since your ram is ddr, hence if you are going to buy a similar one, it'll likely be PC2100/DDR266. unless you thinking of running dual channel, you can juz get ram that run at faster mhz (eg PC3200/DDR400)Originally posted by Y_Shun:okay, now is which ram already??!?!
this CPU-Z shows 133MHz ram, but is it the same or is it different with the 266MHz ram?!?!
PS: i not very sure abt the above, would be glad if anyone can help too! -
133MHz for DDR RAM?Originally posted by Y_Shun:

In my years of building and upgrading, I swear I've never seen 133MHz for DDR RAM. 133MHz and below are SDRAM.
Do you still have your motherboard manual? Does it say anything about dual channel for RAM section?
