Sorry to double post but just my laptop open and it turns out the RAM i brought it twice the length of what it should be!

did you ask for laptop memory?

desktop memory is like double the size of laptop memory.

Yeah sorry to say, you bought desktop memory. You were supposed to ask for SODIMM ram.

holy crap, i cant believe none of us picked up on that, especially me. at least you didnt spend much money on it. i guess you can return it and say you bought the wrong ram or something.

shit, im so freaking sorry.

SODIMM. laptop RAM. everything else is all the same (by everything, i mean the DDR, the speed and the latency).

bad luck, there.
start building a desktop now.


by the way, what's the Win7 RC download size?

uhhh, well from what ive been reading, the download is about 2.5 gigs for the 32 bit, and 3.04 gigs for the 64 bit. you need 16 to 20 gigs free space however.

I've got enough free space (250gb) so thats not the matter, just I wanted to know the download size because I have got limited free usage for my connection.

Also, the windows XP mode virtual PC is now out for download. Will be another 450MB if you don't already have your own copy of XP, the 450MB is a copy they give you for free.

Has anyone here got an iphone? I was always skeptical about it and thought it was an overpriced piece of junk, but aside from the camera it is actually good! The safari browser is very impressive and responsive, microsoft can learn from apple in terms of innovative mobile devices. I got one on the cheaper side and although it was still expensive I think it was money well spent!
