Migration of old Hardware to new PC
Ok, so here's the Story:
My Old PC Went the way of the do-do and I salvaged the HDD (Which had Windows XP and 80gb) and DDR Memory (A total of 525mb) . This new computer I have has Vista and I'm just wondering the following. A) If I set the Old HDD to slave seting and put it into the new computer, it won't do anything stupid like attempt to load XP right? Also, I should get at anything I DO want, right? B) The new computer uses DDR2 memory, is DDR compatible? All I'm saying is that if the laptops of the future are not in the
shape of chibi genie girls then I'm going to be sorely disappointed. |

A) No, it won't. Yes.
B) No, it's not.

Awesome, I had a feeling as long as nothing was in the bootloader that nothing would go down but I wanted to check before hand.
And the memory, that sucks... All I'm saying is that if the laptops of the future are not in the
shape of chibi genie girls then I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

DDR2's lack of backward compatibility is quite a bummer. My current desktop PC still pulls its weight in day-to-day use and gaming, but the age of some components/technologies is showing. Now, if I wanted to upgrade anything, I'd pretty much have to replace everything else. DDR became DDR2, ATA and PCI went serial, AGP is dead and CPU's ... well, the cash for an AMD X2 would still hurt the least.

Yeah. Oh well, I'll keep the 512mb in my harmedicaly sealed GP2X box and maybe it'll get used for my media centure pc that will be made sometime in twenty exty-six
