*flicking off my computer now*
In the past two months I have spent roughly 210 dollars on RAM for my computer.
The first two were NOTEBOOK memory, and I should have known that by reading it, but the guy who I asked should have ALSO noticed. [2GB]
The second ones were desktop memory, but DDR2 and my computer only takes DDR. I found this out after trying to install it today. The guy in the store should have fucking told me. He even looked it up online. [2GB]
The third is the right memory, AND fits, but it's only 1 GB because DDR memory is more expensive than DDR2. It costs me 68 bucks for this ONE stick where I could have gotten TWO of the other.
Fuuuuuuuuuuck yooouuuuu.
I'm go pissed. WTF am I going to do with 4 GB of memory that I can't even fucking use? One of them is even OPEN. WTF buys open memory? *cursing to the sky* I'll put it up on eBay and properly label that it's open and thus why it's only 30 bucks, but COME ON.
I should have just went to Best Buy in the first place instead of trying to get a deal at Circuit City before it went under.
God damnit. *eats mini-snickers to console myself*

The DDR2 is
Kingston, 2GB.
Compatible w/
667MHz (PC2-5300)
533MHz (PC2-4200)
400MHz (PC2-3200)
Dual Channel
On the RAM itself, there is a sticker that says
KVR667D2K2/2GR
740617107005 K2 1.8V
BKMK1630802
That's for the desktop, and it's been opened. ~_~
The notebook RAM says basically the same thing.
If you can use it, great \o/. If not, at least you tried XD

and it turns out that the comp that needs ram replacement takes DDR, not DDR2. QQ, sorry to make you wait for so long.
want me to put a PSA in my lj, see if anyone else needs this?
