windows 7 question

[gremp]

Hey all,

building a new machine. All the bits arrived today, apart from the memory, however I have some spare memory I can use to at least get the system up and running.

However, I had a nagging doubt in the back of my mind that I was hoping you guys will be able to confirm for me.

If I build the system with one set of RAM, and swap it out when the new set arrives..am I going to have to get a new copy of windows 7?

for the record I've ordered a copy of windows 7 64 ultimate.

it's OEM version and not retail. Just the RAM would be changed...nothing else. everything else is brand spanking new except the memory

Sirius, good question and one I cannot answer properly I'm afraid. It was just my preference to go for it. In many eyes, I may of made an incorrect choice as to the benefits it would provide over a different version, cost etc and I do agree with you on the cost front.

So there was no real reason why I chose it..i just did. At that point in time I'd spent hours researching processors, GPU's, motherboards, RAM, SSD's, hybrids and SATA's...the last bit was the OS, it was 03.00am so I may of just gone..sod it and plunked for it. But it's what i ordered. If i made an error of judgment, im prepared to live with it.

haha yeh...last time i did that, some guy on the other end called me a liar Wanted my company name if i was a system builder (i do builds for people in spare time) but dont work for a company nor am i self employed.

He said i got a dodgy copy, or i downloaded it off the web (which was rubbish as i had proof of purchase).

maybe this time i might get more luck..or a support rep with a brain and good attitude.
