There's a reason why there are 100's of posts recommending using Crucial to get memory for your PC - because it works EVERY TIME.

I'm starting to think that Conor may have shares in Crucial...

I have to correct the above statement - from personal experience it does ~not~ work every time BUT you are guaranteed to get your money back if it doesn't.

Yeah. You went to a decent site that has guaranteed 100% compatible memory and lifetime guarantee with a no quibble refund policy then instead of buying it there, you went off to Ebay and bought cheap generic rubbish that's pretty much guaranteed not to work and that you'll have all hell on getting a refund. So that £5 you think you've saved is going to cost you whatever you paid on Ebay.

You've just had a lesson and an expensive one. There's a reason why there are 100's of posts recommending using Crucial to get memory for your PC - because it works EVERY TIME.

So off you go back to Crucial, rerun the memory selector and order the RAM it saiys FROM THEM. But then again, you'll probably potter off to the other sites mentioned just because they accept paypal and waste some more money. Look forward to seeing the "I bought some RAM for my Dell Dimension and it doesn't work AGAIN" thread later on this week.

I wish I was as clever as you Conor, it must be great never making a mistake!

And for your info, I bought the ram suggested by crucial, a site which neglected to mention the Low Density aspect that I needed, hence making the mistake on Ebay

Anyway, I hope your little rant made you feel all big and clever :kisses3:

And to those of you who actually posted something constructive, thank you. With my lesson learnt and your advice I have hopefully bought the right ram now from a respected internet shop that has a no quibble money back guarantee
