LOL Was I too cheap?

When I found out the 256MB ram on my pc was not really enough to run FA@H, I bought the cheapest thing I could find (32 MB more ram) and stuck it in the second slot inside the computer.

Well at least the machine is doing it now smile

You should have bought 256MB of ram to run this project without interfering with other system operations... wink

Re: LOL Was I too cheap?

I guess it depends on how deep your purse is. You get what you pay for if you are careful. I am partial to Crucial RAM. Not their hyped Ballistix, but their regular RAM. It is a bargain as far as name-brand Ram goes, and it is reliable. Corsair, Mushkin, Kingston and the other good ones and are fine, cool

but for the money I go with Crucial. I have never been disappointed. Put a stick of it in and you are good for life. They have a discount going thru the end of the year and...if you are a new customer enter BBUSERGROUP in the coupon code and get another 5% off.

Re: LOL Was I too cheap?

Less than 256MB ram can still be OK if you run Boinc agent under Linux. Please see the last five discussions in the thread http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=4282. Happy crunching! biggrin
