The more I look at this thing, the more that's wrong with it. Ugh.




My computer's all fucked up.

See, I have three RAM slots. I have three RAM sticks. Two 256 and one 128. However, my computer's only reading 528 of those. None of the sticks are bad, I checked them all individually. I think one of the slots on the mobo is bad. Likely the middle one. I tried cleaning it out, but to no avail.

And now, even after the reformat and the extra RAM, City of Heroes won't run (and it would before, on 512 RAM) and I have to reinstall WoW and it may not even run.

I'm so pissed.

I can't run CS3 or CS4 because of the lack of RAM. CS2 runs like a dying horse. It lags SO BAD it's not even worth loading up.

Everything ran FINE before I popped the new stick in or I fucked up the RAM slot. Either way, there's not a whole lot I can do short of preform a miracle. And it's not like I can buy a larger RAM stick, I'm running SD RAM and it's EXPENSIVE because it's OUTDATED.

I really need a new mobo, however. The one in my computer currently? Dated 1999.

Ugh.

And TJ's mad because I can't play any games with her. :/

On the upside, I'll be getting Angie's old computer, which is a huge leap from the one I'm using now. I can swap shit around and I know the RAM slots on that mobo are clean because when I popped open the case for hers when we first got it, the inside was pratically spotless. So, at least that's something.

About the same age as my old mac. I have an extra stick of ram for it, but can't use it because the additional RAM slots are bad. (Kernel panics whenever I tried to use it.)
