It arrived yesterday, but unfortunately it doesn't work. I figured it wouldn't but had to try for myself anywayz. I got 2x2Gbs of "integrator grade" memory which uses very high density chips, which aren't compatible with intel mobo chipsets. I had used these in the past with SiS and VIA chipset mobos without any issues, so I had to try for myself. No biggie, it was $40. I re-ordered another 1 Gb stick of custom K45-tested memory to be safe, but I also got another 2x2Gb of Corsair higher grade memory, just to test it out as well. I read some reports of people who got it to work on the K45, although the box specs say it only accepts 2 Gb max. <br><br>I also tried to see if I could get another HD for my DELL laptop. The goal is to run OS X on it, which seems to have trouble booting from an external USB HD. I opened it up and inspected the drive. It doesn't use a regular 2.5" but rather a custom 1.8" unit that only Toshiba makes, geez. I looked around and it seems like you can get an 80 Gb one out there for $120, which seems kinda pricey (you can get a 320 Gb 2.5" for that much.) Anyway, I didn't pull the trigger on this one, still wondering whether I want to do it and have the time and energy.<br> Fri, 6 Aug 2008 22:55 GMT http://www.balcells.com/blog/ViewItem.asp?Entry=1800 http://www.balcells.com/blog/Comments.asp?Entry=1800 Two days of the stock market going up, not bad for a change :).
