gster123 > 'Whats a 2.4 dual pro???'

I would assume it means '2.4 GHz dual processor'.

Not specific enough as it would help to know exactly what processor it is and wether its a dual core or dual socket.

starjsjswars > 'My ram is compaitable with my mother board.'

If your using a AMD processor with an intergrated memory controller I've heard that you have to use memory modules of a specific kind and speed with AMD Athlonds in a specific configuration. I may be wrong on this since I don't use AMD but its possible.

Suppose it depends on the packaging and the care of the postman!
