Can't be, ram only goes in dedicated mobo slots. (or occasionally for
ramdrives on a pci card) AFAIK there's absolutely no way to attach ram
via USB.. for starters usb access is waaay too slow for that.. did you
mean something else?


Sorry, I've read your post properly again [with brain engaged]. You removed two
chips *on the sound card* and that quietened it from a 'radio-active' point of
view? Hmm, interesting I've got a couple of cheap soundblaster cards lying
around, I'll have a look. I doubt if the chips you removed were 'ram' as such,
more likely to be the rom chips that are used to permanently hold a whole bunch
of stuff. [I'm not splitting hairs here, just replying to my own post really.]
It *is* very interesting that they quietened the card.
