1. R.A.M
Well, on my motherboard, I have 1x512MB DDR RAM (will be adding another 1gb stick soon!). However, on my BIOS and in Windows, it shows up at 480MB. What is using that extra 32MB? (I have an S3 Graphics ProSavageDDR GPU, which has 32MB of memory, integrated into my mobo. I believe this may be interfering with my RAM.)
2. Audio
Recently, I took a Creative Sound Blaster PCI (that is the full name on DxDiag[Caution: Executable File]) from my dad's old PC. I noticed that it had a new port that I was unfamiliar with, a black one. Therefore, I searched "Creative Sound Blaster PCI" on Google. That didn't get me anywhere, since there were newer models and such. (The earliest driver date for this card is 1997.) Then, I searched what the black port did on Wikipedia, and found this:
After I discovered that, I took the speakers from my dad's old pc, plugged them into the black port, and turned off the normal ones. I then played some MP3s such as Eye of the Tiger, To be Loved, and several "HD Surround sound test MP3s" from the Internet. To my surprise, no sound came out! What is the problem?
Analog line level audio output for surround speakers, typically rear stereo.
