When I was building my pc a few weeks ago a stick of my memory kinda fell a part. It was one of those new style Gskills that have that bigger heatsink that extends off the top about an inch or so. I was inserting it into the slot and while putting pressure on the heatsink it broke loose and took all but 1 of the memory chips with it.
I attempted to do an rma with newegg but they didn't take it back due to physical damage. I rma'd it to Gskill but I had to send both sticks in. I then ordered a new identical set from newegg figuring that Gskill wouldn't cover it either. Their rma process is through email and all I had to go by was the form saying if it was physically damaged it wouldn't be replaced. I tried anyway..
So as it stand I have 4gb 2x2... I just got my memory back from Gskill yesterday and they replaced it so now I have 4gb more to install.
My question is would it be worth installing it or selling it to recoop my losses? We are talking about $80 bucks give or take a few $'s so it's not a ton of money. I'm running vista home basic 64bit and the rest of my system is in my sig..
Thanks for the advice...
