Hmm i guess my ebay obsession has come to prove me wrong lol

I guess buying 2GB of RAM from America wasn't such a good idea, doesn't even seem to recognise it ... even though it fits well and such.

Though it is quite smaller then my corsair RAM atm, height wise, don't know why.

Well, looks like i'm going to have to spunk out 70pounds for new ones

Sucks!

I've seen some memory on e-bay, from the USA and other parts of the world, that only work with certain processors or have other restrictions.It pays to read the small print.

RAM is at an all time low price right now, if that cheers you up any...

It could just be incompatable with your motherboard.

£15 for 2gb memory?!

Too good to be true...
