    Nice one. I'll buy it now.

    Is RAM easy to fit?! :rotfl: :D

    Its not to bad actually no.

    Crucial memory comes with a little guide to help you if your not sure which is something I haven't seen other companies do but Ill give you a quick rundown anyway.

    1, Pop the side panel of you computer
    2, Have a look for the memory slots inside you should already see 2 in use
    3, Fit the new ones in the empty slots making sure you put them in the right way as they only fit one way so don't break them trying to force them in back to front!
    4, Pop your side cover back on and that should be it.

    You will notice these little lugs by the side of the slots when you fit the memory and when u push down to insert it they should pop up and fit into the grooves in the side of the memory which will also help indicate you fitted it properly.

    Yer great advice make the op by laptop memory for a computer in which it wouldn't actually fit.

    Posted the wrong link for play.com.. http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/5748198/PNY-PC5300-2GB-667MHz-DDR2-240pin-DIMM-Computer-Memory/Product.html

    Still, the same price and fits his computer. ;)

    Also it's in stock at play.com, so pcworld will reduce their price by 110% the difference :)

    Well not being funny but if you look at those 2 links the products don't even look the same so I wouldn't discount.

    Lol, they don't have to look the same.. the 2 companies have just used different pictures of the products. It's the same product.

    I did this with PCWorld last week, had no problems at all. Anyway, I only offered a suggestion for him to get cheaper RAM. It seem's obvious that you don't agree with what I wrote and probabily never will! :rotfl:

    Thanks.
