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.

£20 can buy you quite a lot. You could feed yourself for 4 days in the UK, or for a year in Ethiopia. No joke of a lie.

Blah stop complaining. :P
£20 measly quid... know how much it costs for me to stick 128MB of ram in the P 200? I'll give you a rough idea: it isn't £20. :P

£20 is actually a bit steep for 128MB mind you, you can get 256MB for £30 now, if you bought it from SR - slap them. ;)

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.

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.
