Oh, thanks. Also would my CPU hold back the GPU testing in 3dmarks even though it's specifically testing the GPU. Though the CPU probably has something to do with it.

Still using c2d e6400 with no OC.

Thanks.

Update to original question: If I can run the different rams on my mobo, would it run as dual channel even though Vista 32-Bit can only read 3GB? Or would it work normally as 4GB dual channel, but only shows 3GB.

Hello there Gamespotters,

I am currently using two 1GB Corsairs PC2-6400 (dual channel) on my ASUS 650i mobo.

My friend is selling two of his 1GB Crucial Ballistix Tracers PC2-6400 for only $20 because he wants to upgrade his ram.

These - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148208

Is it possible to dual channel the Crucials alongside my Corsairs even though they are different brands without any problems? Also, I am running on Vista 32-Bit and I heard that it is only able to read up to 3GB so meaning I will not be able to dual channel 4GB. Is this correct?

Thanks for the help in advance!

I do not know a lot about computers so here goes.

Situation: I have two computers, one in my room, one in the living room. My parents are constantly on youtube therefore making me lag enough where my latency in online games are too spiky. I don't know much about my internet connection speed except I'm using DSL and I can download at a max rate of 200kbps and my ping/latency is generally solid in games. My guess is when my parents are watching videos on youtube, it downloads at 200kbps making me extremely slow. Is there anyway to cut the download speed of that computer to around 100-150kbps? They're my parents so I don't mind them using it as long as it doesn't lag me like crazy. 100kbps is fast enough for them to stream videos on youtube, does anyone know how I can do this if there is a way? And will their downloading at 2x slower mean better latency for me? Thanks

I am running IE7 on Vista and it seems to be kinda buggy. I also have Firefox but I can't seem to set it as default browser even though I went to the options and it said it's already the default browser. I use my keyboard shortcut to connect to my browser and it automatically opens IE7 even though it says my default browser is Firefox. I know I can use my keyboard logitech drivers/program to set it to open Firefox, but I would have to keep that annoying icon in my taskbar. When I close the icon, it opens IE everytime I press it. So obviously, Firefox isn't set as default even though it said it is. Is there anyway to uncheck IE as default?

And also, IE is having some problems installing/working with the adobe flash programs, meaning it can't load sites like gametrailers.com correctly. I installed them, but it still doesn't work, whereas Firefox works fine.
