how do you know you got a pissed-off stick of memory for your new computer?

Contigency stickers!

I got my MOBO and RAM today from Newegg, THEY STINKIN RULE! I'm about ready to foward my paychecks to them , I got issues. I open up the box, MOBO is awesome but I knew that. I had one in my hand last week at a local computer store but they wanted $40.00 more! I dropped coin on my memory though, I grabbed a gig of Crucial Ballistix, one 512 stick cost more than the Motherboard! I almost cried when I saw them, with those annodized heat spreaders but the sticker tripped me out. Being a car guy who has recently jumped on computers I can appreciate a part so nice you want to announce what's under the hood like an HKS turbo or something

I will always hate crucial. Micron is a bunch of bastards.

Anyway...wait are you asking how to remove old memory or telling us about your new memory? I am confused...not that that is all that difficult.

Just really hyped about the sticks, they purty. I wanted to try some different memory, the box I am on right now is running Corsair, I might try Kingston next just to get some diverse experience with different makes. I went Intel on this box but I am going AMD Athlon64 for the living room monolith.

Ahh I see.

The Kingston/AMD combo sounds good.

no the Crucial is for the new box I am putting together now. scope the MOBO, ASUS good. Kingston will have to wait until box 3 or 4. I think I see pattern here (looks outside at four half-finished cars) naa, must be my imagination. Oh yeah baby fully diluded!
