And no, it's not the truck either...
So in my quest to figure out the issues in my wife's 8 year old gateway desktop, it turns out that it was the RAM going bad.(failed a memtest and died) Figures that this thing uses DDr2 memory instead of DDR3, and found out you can't use one for the other. So, and the hunt for some RAM...and not sure what to buy.Way too many choices on amazon and a few other places.
It quotes "4GB dual channel", so I figure a few 2GBs should do, or maybe go to 8GB in case I do windows 10 on the machine... So I ask-what are some good choices? (also budget minded) It this stage in it's life, it pretty much does internet, video, and and some Sims 3 Gaming...
