I recently went to a store to get some PC-133 SD RAM for my pc.
However when i told the owner that my pc was a compaq presario. she told me RAM bought from her ,which include brands like kingston and twinmos, would not work on a compaq system...
She says u have to get RAM straight from compaq which wld be compatible. A man standing beside me confirmed this and he said this is why companies such as compaq and hp can sell their pcs so cheaply...
However, juz yesterday, my freind told me sd ram sld work on any system...
I am very confused.. Who do u think is right? Thx for ure help )
System specs:
Compaq Presario
Pentium 4 1.7 Ghz
256 MB PC-133 SD RAM ( 2 empty slots )
256 Radeon 9600 Pro
40 GB HD
