"So I upgraded, broke, fixed, restored factory setting"

Stupid RAM

I have spend the whole morning on this piece of crap

I have sworn many, many, many, many times

I managed to get it working... then it said some files where lost and I needed to reinstall Windows.

SO I tryed to but it froze every time for about an hour

Then I put old RAM chip back in

Then it reinstalled

Then I had to set everything up again

So for about 5 hours work, I'm further behind than I was.

I don't think you understand the stress and pain I have been under this morning

I want compensation

On the upside, the difference between 64MB and 128MB RAM is hardly detectable, unless you're trying to run a nice game that requires more then 64MB, in which case you'll know about it.

But to all intents and purposes, anyone watching you working at your computer won't know the difference. You could tell them you've got 512MB RAM and they would be none the wiser unless they checked your System Memory files.

I hope this helps.
I know it won't though.

What may help is that when I added RAM to my system, I had to really force the new RAM chip down into the socket, literally I had to hit it hard to get it to fix in properly and catch at both sides.

Use a hammer.

Games I want recommend 128MB so I thought I might as well as it's only £20

I had it running for a while... start-up it said 128MB (took 64MB as slot was one problem I think)

Then it said files were missing

Another PC upgrade topic?

btw, while the Mac does have certain advantages, it is no different at upgrades than the pc. It still has Ram, drive bays, wires all over the shop. And Apple pour on the upgrades just like in the pc world, so you cant escape from "the uprgade path" no matter what you do.

I told you not to buy RAM, SHEEPY, but Did you listen? No. And now look what's happened.

I knew deep down it would never worl

Nothing works with me an PCs

I got so angry with my old PC and it's Packard Bellness, that I sold it to a student, and bought a Dell. Which is great. It all stemed from the fact that I couldn't install RAM.
