One quick Ram question!!!

[Susurrus]

Why don't you just RMA your PQI and see if that works? Just because the defective PQI stick didn't work doesn't mean that a working stick wouldn't. That should also save you some money. That's crap that TigerDirect sent you to the manufacturer* They should replace it if it's DOA or at least give you a refund. You should call them back and demand that they replace it, though from what I've heard about customer service from TigerDirect it'd probably be better/easier to just work with PQI.

It's a matter of about 3 weeks before I'd acutally get my RMA'd PQI 1gb ram back though... I have to send it, they have to fix it, and send it back. I could just take the loss for awhile, get new ram and be happy with the mini, because 256mb is brutal on Tiger. Then I'll sell the PQI when I get it ...who knows, I might even just keep it for one of my PC's.

You could do that or use my link for a $9 stick of 512mb RAM. It's pretty good stuff and then you don't need to worry about all that. Of course, if you want a gig, that's another story.

Normally when you RMA they don't fix it. Normally they send you out a new one and then they deal with yours, testing it and such. Of course, that's only been my understanding of it and I may be wrong or it may vary by company.

well just got back from the shop with the 1gb kingston... im at work so i didnt really get a chance to put it through heavy testing, but i can say that it seemed very stable, and it looks as if this one is working great!

i'll be sending the pqi stick off to get rma'd today.

anyways, im happy now
