Actually Doogie plugging in a RAM chip isn't that hard. Line up the notch, press firmly into place and wait for the little white clips to click into place.

Not that hard. Even you could do it.

Yes indeed. When I've done it it in the past it worked.

Well!

In an earlier version of myself, I had to remove 32 ram chips from six servers, Sun's - E420's I think, so might have been 16 each - long time ago, and replace with bigger ones.

Ah tell thi', my finger's were bleeding, literally, blood everywhere, these needed a fair push on the clasp, and good press and another pull on the clasp, thumbs shot to ribbons.

Insert Actress to Bishop joke, here...

Not sure if I'm giving myself oral here? Damn glad I had that rib removed.

What puzzles me even more is how I could have possibly known this from the numbers recorded in the build, if you recall the post in technical.

No mention of ECC, non ECC.

Ahem

400M - effective FSB clock speed (PC2-3200)
64X72 - Parity (1 bit extra for every 8)
8 - Could be ECC, but could also be banks of memory modules (i.e. 16 Meg x 8 x 4 banks)
240 - Pins (DDR2)
1RX4 - Single Rank Memory

I've eventually given in. I need someone to paint, decorate, fix holes etc at the shop for the schedule of dilapidation. Normally I'm like. 'pay some idiot £150 a day to that'. Eventually I've had to give in. I hate paying someone more than my day rate.

Agree. I would hire builders, painters, decorators, plumbers, electricians etc and often do. Stuff I genuinely can't do to their level of quality.

Plugging in a RAM chip should be within my grasp though.

You must hire a lot of people then.

Yeah it's tough when you have to know what you're doing rather than just plug things in wherever they will fit.

Suity. I tend to find that if I'm not sure how
to do something or unsure how something works I hire a professional to do it for me? Why not have a look on Google for a local IT professional who can help
you?

And how would you do that? I spent quite a bit of time looking for a RAM supplier I could ring. Some of the contact numbers are buried so deep into the site they take ages to find, and when you do find it and ring you get told their offices are closed on the weekends.

I shall try ringing crucial in the morning.
