I test outside the box all the time, but as I build and sell, I have loads
of new and used parts to test with. It is unrealistic to suggest to someone
who is posting here to spend money in the hopes that it "may" work -- or
not!
Based upon that, the best choice for the average person is to go with the
documentation supplied with their computer or visit www.crucial.com or
www.kingston.com , use their memory configurator, and see what THEY
recommend.
Sorry, but I can just not agree with you on this so I guess we will have to
let it go.
Bye!
