About a week ago I ordered an identical 1gb patriot extreme stick of ram. When I installed it I was getting bluescreens on startup.

I have tried changing the memory timings to ...

I have an old gateway with XP installed on it and was wondering if I could transfer the OS to a new computer and buy the Vista upgrade disc as opposed to the retail version to save a couple of bucks.  Is this possible?

Thanks! In the ...

Gigabyte does NOT have the SATA/RAID drivers available for this particular board ...
