God those US performers are gouging us!

Remember when the dollar was .50?? They were justified in charging $150 for a ticket.

Now they get pretty much dollar for dollar they are still charging us the same…

just upgraded my PC ram from 4gb to 8gb cause Cords told me it was easy to do yourself.
followed instructions to a Tee and than the laptop wouldnt start….freaking out
took me about 6 more attempts to get it all happening. works well now HD footage flowing like a dream

Haha, it is pretty easy… You just have to make sure that the clips are all the way back over the top of the ram. Some laptops they don’t click back properly and then you get errors.

Desktop RAM is even easier.

well I’m a loser and terrible with doing stuff with my hands and I managed to do it on my laptop myself so I figured you should have no trouble. So sick that it came that fast…how much did he end up charging you for it? You got it from upgradeable, yeah?

cost $63 for 4gb….works heaps faster.
looked easy enough until a opened the bottom and eventually worked out the slot for the new ram was under the one already in there, so had to take that out and then that clips wouldnt go on properly. turns out i was being to gentle

When it comes to swapping out RAM it pays to be gentle. I’m guessing you’ve got Windows 7 64bit OS. If you running the 32bit version the mobo will only be able to address a maximum of 3 gig anyway. But as you say it’s running heaps faster so all should be good.

they only support pick up? no delivery? bahbow. this other mob is quick and had free delivery (wins me as a customer nearly every time!)

HAHA MSY has no customer support at all, you go there for the cheap prices… I probably could have sourced one that delivered but with delivery, it would be about $50 and I’d have to do work… and you already have the ram lol.
