1.	Solve : hardware spec numbers mean what to what??
Answer» I'm looking for a data base that has hardware spec number traslation, So I may learn what parts will work with other parts. i.e. g-force 6500 will work with what mainboard, or PC 3200 ddr will work on what mainboard and or Processor 64 duo +3000 = ?? I wanna know what these numbers mean in reference to other parts I wanna install.This came up in the past and was determined to be a pointless endeaver. An PCIe card will only work with a motherboard with a PCIe slot, but if the power supply is insufficient it won't work, ETC. Specific type of RAM and maximum AMOUNT depends on the specific motherboard, etc. You get the idea. Those numbers are meaningless. Buzzwords and type numbers, they will give you a general outline of what product you're looking at compared to other products in the same range. The only way you can really tell if something is compatible is by testing or looking up HCL lists. yeah.... i know... I was just wondering if anyone had some new found know how. ok, how about this, anywhere i can find out what those numbers mean per part? just so i can atleast get an idea of what is what , when i go to the stores?
