<----- total RAM newb.
I want to upgrade my RAM to make running things faster. Right now I have this amount of RAM:  It's not working for me. I want more. I did the Crucial.com system scanner, and these were my results:  ^Notice how I have 2x 512MB RAM things, but somehow my total RAM is 960.. ? weird. It told me the kind of RAM I needed, and it even gave me the option to buy some of that kind.  and I thought, "Wow! That's so cheap! *big smile*" BUT, I saw on a Tech website that multiple people said Crucial's prices were absurdly high. QUOTE("cfitzarl") I usually go to www.crucial.com and use their database to find out what ram a pc needs, wouldn't buy if from them tho, way too pricey!!!! Their 256 Chip was ~ $50.00 that was ddr2, ridiculous! Is it really "ridiculous"? QUOTE("Rik") Well i did say they were way too pricey!!!!!! I just use their database for reference only!! QUOTE("F1N3ST") 200$/GB I Expect it to be made of gold! Where can I get cheaper RAM that will work for my computer? |
