<----- 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? |

The colored cables are component cables for HD, and the other one is an HDMI (I think) cable, those are if you want to hook it up to your TV or something.
