shut it!!!!

that stuff has FAIL written all over it.

Jony27 · 9 Nov 2010 at 20:15

only noticed its the 1333MHz one

shouldnt make that much difference should it stulid?

stulid · 9 Nov 2010 at 20:17

not the speed thats the problem, more the "my new PC dont work" thread that comes with the purchase.

it needs more voltage or something to work properly.

if the op ordered quickly enough, he could get that ram and a quad core, all within budget.

aj1soad · 9 Nov 2010 at 20:54

all of those r without windows though so way over budget

Jony27 · 9 Nov 2010 at 20:58

you can use Ubuntu
