the time when i brought my pc to that pc diognostic testing these kids said " and why is your ram not in slot one, it should always be in there"

well when i first brought it in when the owner was working there he didnt switch it or nothing.

so is it true ram needs to be in slot 1??


and

the kid said, " you should ALWAYS have a fan on the cpu because the cpu temperature can reach 70 degrees in a few seconds" now is that true??? I dont think so

it can reach that temp of course. depends on heatsink

yes u should have a ram in slot 1, start from slot 1

Mine, without a fan, would EASILY go above 70. Usually, but not always: The newer the CPU, the higher it will go. LOL I can run my old PC fanless and nothing will happen. When I told Jason that he said I was an idiot, but I don't think he realized how old my PC was :| LOL
