Damn the RAM

After successful installation of a new monitor, I need to upgrade my computer’s RAM now. I love video editing and it gets stuck more often due to only the 512+256(which seems to have a problem) MBs that I have at my disposal.

Flashback ….Three weeks ago, I had set out to get the monitor of my dreams (See Part 1 and Part 2 of the Monitor adventure here) and the result was that I wasn’t disappointed (for now… at least). The monitor’s working fine and I’ve watched the BRILLIANT “Heroes” finale and awesome new episodes of “Smallville” and “Ugly Betty”. And the ever-romantic “You’ve Got Mail”. And yes, the most amazing gangster movie, “Goodfellas”! Watch it … it’s a treat!

Btw, this isn’t a review blog or even a redressal blog. Well, redressal …. umm…. well….

Ok, I admit …. I HATE computer apparels’ shopping. I have never shopped for clothes so madly as I’ve shopped for these computer related items… and I’m a GIRL! What kind of a girl am I?

Of course, the kind who has many brothers who know everything about computers and she herself had always depended on them for this stuff! Now that they are in the 3 other corners of the country, in my corner I’m stuck with usurping computer mechanics/engineers and cousins who basically know even less than what I know about this “Super Idiot Box!!”

So, well, … now that I’ve vented out my surface fristration lets come to the RAM cram ….
Sorry for trying to rhyme RAM …. Damn!!

I have an almost 5 years old 256MB RAM which is still in excellent working condition and a few months old 512MB RAM, both of the same brand. Some days ago I realized that my computer isn’t working on both the RAMs together as there is something about matching the frequencies of both.
God, can’t these be a little more easier?! On top of this all, I’ve sucked at physics all my life!!

I’m crabby … and I’m cranky! Yippee! I’ve officially proved myself to be CRANKYWRITER.

To get more crankier… I’ll come back next time with a blog where I’ll say “Random Accessing Memory now!” as soon as this problem is solved. I really hope that I get my dream RAM soon.

Meanwhile, readers, if you can help with some technical knowledge… even the smallest help would be appreciated!
