Bad Ram

Bad Ram:
I recently purchased some generic ram at a local store, it was a stick of 128 megs for 10.00. I first put it in my sons HP, after I installed it, the computer started acting up. When you clicked to open the Start Menu it would pop up and then close right away, in Explorer when you would click on the + to open a tree it would open, then close right away, Games would shut down to the Desktop while playing, etc. I bought a stick of Micron 128 megs and removed the generic and replaced it with the Micron, all the above symptoms dissappeared. I had a stick of the same ram in my computer and it worked fine, so I added the one from my sons, to mine. Ran fine at first, but I ran a couple games and they were very slow, then I tried playing a couple mp3s and they were choppy. I removed the ram and everything was fine again. So whats my point !! The Ram was accepted by the Bios and Windows but was still bad, if you are getting these kind of symptoms from your Computer, you may have a stick of bad ram and it is wiser to buy a name brand then the cheaper generic.

Windows XP

Well Windows XP is finally out, are you all going to rush out and upgrade? From what I have been hearing it is pretty good, I downloaded the the Utility from the XP site to test my system, to see if it and my software was up for XP, looks like I will stay with what I have, until I build a new system just for XP and have software compatiable with XP. To much of my software is incompatiable, unless I use Fat32. They also say if your harddrive is less then 36 gig stay with Fat32, mine is only 15 gig. The whole idea of going with XP is the NT platform, if you use the upgrade version and go with Fat32 and you end up not liking XP, you have the option of uninstalling it and going back to 98 or ME, 98 I would go back to, but not Me. Hopefully I can build a new box soon and give it a try, leave some comments about your experiences with XP.
