| 1219682 | 2011-07-28 21:31:00 | The Dell I Was describing - I tried it with the same speed as the original, but the increase wasn't huge right away, it was only 512MB increase at first ( board has 4 slots) - simply didn't like it, either wouldn't boot past the BIOS loading, or would simply get to various stages then crash. Didn't do any damage, just wouldn't go :badpc: Other times in the past, throw any sort of RAM in and away they go, sometimes its suck it and see :D |

| 1219685 | 2011-07-29 05:06:00 | Just to let you all know ... put the RAM in and the bloody computer beeped at me ... twice ! Thought the worst until the screen came to life and advised me that the RAM had changed ... press F1 to continue or something else to cancel ... Turned my back to the computer and pressed F1 ... no loud bangs or smell of melting components All good :D |
