4 R.A.M. questions + 1 Hard Drive question
First question is when I play the game Battlefield 3, I get around a jumpy 18-24 FPS, graphics card is GT 610 2 GB VRAM by Palit, I tested this on another computer from a friend, it has an i5 (what I can remember and don't know the clock speed and number of cores), Windows 7 64-bit (don't know the version but is has the Aero scheme), 4 GB of RAM and a GT 430, I said to my self, how can a 430 is better than a 610? I can play BF3 with auto settings at 1366x768 if I can remember and it doesn't lag, even in extensive scenes. Maybe because it's bottle neck? RAM or CPU?
Second question which may help the above one, I bought a new RAM from Kingston, it's a 2GB DDR3-10600 CL9 240-Pin DIMM, it fits in the slots of my PC, I can here it tabs clicking which means it's locked, but when I turn the PC on, it gives me a long and a short beep, I did a CMOS reset but beeping still continues, I removed the new one and left the stock one, it works, I removed the stock one and placed the new one, it gives me those beeping sounds, whatever I do try to fit it in, it doesn't work. I returned to my stock one and it's fine, any reason why?
Third question, the sticker on my RAM stick tells me that it's a DDR-3 PC3-10600, when I go to the BIOS, it tells me that it's a PC3-8500, CPU-Z tells me it's a PC3-10700, I don't know what to trust, the sticker, BIOS or CPU-Z?
Fourth question, can I combine my stock one and the new one if it fits? According to a PC repair shop, it says, it's compatible, I just wanted to be sure
Hard drives and metal detectors and X-ray scanners, will detectors/scanners cause any damage to my drive? I'm going to my province next week, gonna use an airplane. If it will cause any damage? I'll just leave the drive in my place.
