How to Match RAM & Video Cards to a Motherboard

Hey! My name is Kyle Hodge and today I am going to be explaining to you how to un-install and install motherboards. Other things to watch out for is to make sure that the RAM specifications are going to match the RAM that you want to put in the board. There are many different types of RAM out there so just double check to make sure that the RAM and the specifications of the motherboard match. A big thing now is graphic processors. Older boards have AGP slots so if you want to upgrade your graphic processor, make sure that it is not PCI Express if you have a AGP board or you can just go ahead and update the motherboard to a PCI Express slot and then buy PCI Express Graphic Card to match. Motherboards have many options. Make sure that the motherboard you are buying is going to match your needs. If you do a lot of home movie editing and things of that sort, make sure you have a fire wire for it to plug into your camera. Also if you use a lot of USP devices such as Web cams, drawing tablets or even, make sure there are enough USP ports to fit your needs. If you are looking for on board audio, make sure on board audio is included. If you have graphics processors or any fancy sound cards and you don't need that included on the motherboard, you might be able to save yourself a dollar or two by getting a motherboard that doesn't have those features.
