Found a little bar thing, its green and has 3 black boxes on it. I got 4 of them off of the old computer(wtf is a turbo option on a computer?)from these white slots. It says Ft-B9 on the upper left corner with 94V0 underneath. so its
FT-B9 BBBBBBBBB BBBB BBBBBBBB CUBIG MX8P
94V0 BBBBBBBBB BBBB BBBBBBBB MADE IN USA

lol hope that helps. B is the box thing lol.:D
 
Those are the virtual memory for your computer, in contrast, your hard drive is the physical memory. It's really very simple, while your computer is on, it stores information to run processes in the RAM, but when your computer is turned off, that information is lost. Basically, the more RAM you have the smoother processes will run there are other...intricacies.. but I'm too tired to talk about those.

Virtual memory is the space you've set aside for the Windows pagefile, or swap partition in Linux. The RAM is actually the physical memory, while a hard drive stores all the data. Sorry, it may seem as though I'm nit-picking, but I think it's important that the proper terms are used.

The Turbo button on a 386/486 was to lower the FSB or disable the processors cache. The name is sorta of a oxymoron. When you installed older games and some programs on a 386/486 in would run really fast:D. Pushing the Turbo button allowed it to run normal.

I have no idea what that means:D:D. Need a little bit better description. Off the top of my head you might be referring to maybe a row of capacitors.:confused:

Where is says Gigabyte, thats the Northbridge chip and the heatsink a little lower to the left on the other side of the PCIe slot is the Southbridge chip. The little metal cap looking things are the capacitors.

You talking about something like a bios chip. Its the only removable chip I can think of on a newer board. Some are smaller than this one.
