    Running 2 Sata drives

    I have a MSI P965 Neo motherboard and am trying to connect an 80gb and 160gb hard drive to it. However, neither have jumpers and when I plug them in, both show up as masters in the BIOS. How do I get 1 to show up as a slave? EDIT: Ok, my friend told me there's no such thing as master/slave...

    Matching RAM sizes

    I've been curious about this lately. If I had a 512 mb stick of RAM and I was looking to upgrade, would it be better for performance if I bought a matching 512mb stick? Or could I get a 1 GB stick, run both the old 512mb and new 1 GB at the same time without any issues?
