RE: Where do you buy computer parts?

RAM upgrades can be tricky.

The last time I did one I had to be very explicit about certain details. Was it parity? I can't remember, but it turns out that RAM being offered as generic "one size fits all" often had make-or-break details that the seller was either unaware of, or just didn't give a damn about.

When I finally got the *specific* RAM I thought I needed it dropped in and sync'd up with the existing RAM just fine.

This was a ram upgrade from 1GB to 2GB on a 10+ year old XP machine.

I have no idea if more modern era RAM has complexities like this, but I imagine so.

Cheers,
Presto
