ok on an old comp i put xp on it and such, however i was thinking of upgrading the cpu so i used a program to check all that stuff. when i did that i checked on the ram just to see if everything worked ok. it said i had 5 slots for ram (only 3) and that 2 of the chips only did 32mb each, when i have 2, 128's and a 64mb. O_O so yeah.... its a amd k2 model 8 motherboard just to let u know. thanks all
