I want to use dimm memory on a new motherboard. My PROBLEM is I dont know if I can erase the old data with a new motherboard. Can you please help?Sigh.

Erase the data from the RAM modules? You don't have to do that.

Just make sure they are compatible with the new motherboard.They are compatible 184 pin. On my last computer I tryed to install a sound card on 1 of the pci slots, and after that my computer wouldnt come back on. It only came back on once after I removed the card. An it was only for a second or so. I remember seeing a message that said somthing like, hit a key to delete ram. I dont know. It happend so fast. My first pc worked great untill then. I think it was the power supply. it was only a 450 watThat is just a misunderstood and seculded incident.

The 184-pin DDR modules do not have to be erased in any way. That happens automatically.Hmmm... I doubt the message was for deleting RAM.

The contents of RAM are lost when an electrical current is no longer PRESENT (i.e. when you switch your computer off) Quote from: Jess607 on November 01, 2007, 10:46:15 AM

What language is that?

I id actually guess that it was typo for "secluded". Also I do know what "secluded" means. (Do you?)  What does it mean in connection with the query?

The error message "hit a key to delete ram" is a single and secluded incident where one must delete their RAM manually. It has to do with the

The error message "hit a key to delete ram" is a single and secluded incident where one must delete their RAM manually. It has to do with the certain rare circumstances that were evident in this person's case, and have nothing to do with how RAM usually gets deleted, which is automatically. Thus, my advise was correct, and he should not worry about deleting his RAM in anything but that single secluded case.

Ah I get it. You are confused about ONE meaning of the word "isolated" having a similar meaning to"secluded". "Secluded" means "isolated" in the sense that a monk or a prisoner or a lonely person is isolated. It does not mean "isolated" in the sense of an unusual or single incident. Is English your first language?

But why can't I say that an incident is secluded in the same sense that a prisoner is secluded?

A place e.g. a mountain village or offshore island might be secluded or isolated; a person in prison or alone somewhere might feel secluded or isolated, but an isolated even is definitely never, ever, a secluded event.
