Actinic Memory usage

Had a failed memory strip yesterday, so now running at half normal speed at 512mb.

Slightly frustrating compared to normal.

George, in the post apocalyptic era of no banter, no humour and only serious posts you escaped a barrage of abuse with that comment

yeh...it's killing me here...I'm having to sit on my hands to restrain myself this morning!!

Like most things in life anything too extreme is often not good, but a healthy balance is what we need. If we can't take the piss out of George without him stropping or wannabee mods jumping in telling us the rules, then we really are up the creek missing a boat, not a chuffing paddle!

I know how Chandler felt on his comedy amnesty now!

I'm gonna start being nice to G...he's having a rough time!

G will cope - bloody hell he's a scot, the poor buggers are born to cope with crap If it aint some bloke from norway stomping on his land it will be an englishman telling him how to live

Sorry for continuing the theme but I can't resist:

Beaumont ? Would that be a frenchman telling jokes about the Scots?

Bugger - thought i would get away with that - fortunately or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, French only by name, i have no idea were it came from.

Off topic but I'll risk paying a little compliment to crucial.com for getting me up to speed (and better) again so fast. Ordered 2 x 512mb for a decent £31.10 yesterday at 2pm or so, arrived this morning. I suppose its `normal` nowadays but its nice when it happens eh?

I used crucial t'other month and was also very impressed with their service ... the downloaded tool found the correct memory needed and it arrived the next day... great service.

I want to 'up' the RAM on one of my machines, easy to do or should i just take it to the shop?

Yeah. If you go to the crucial site, choose the UK one, then run the memory tool it'll bring up your options very quickly. Then its just a case of finding the slots inside your pc, most have a couple spare I'd have thought.

[leehack]

BOO, doesn't work on mine as its a custom build. They want £80 to upgrade me to 4GB from 2GB and they'll fit it for free, that's ok isnt it?

[jont]

Sounds fair enough to me.

Remember XP Pro 32bit only supports 3.2Gb IIRC.
