checking upgrade compatibility

Yes, that is correct - he tried several times to get the 2g sticks to work & they would never work. I have their contact info if you want/need it to verify or to ask them questions.

I got the ram via Newegg - I assume I need to go through them to return the ram? Or can I get a replacement straight from Patriot? I can send these sticks straight to patriot of course. I really don't want to have to go through all the return/shipping stuff. That was actually the very first time I made an online purchase for any computer parts. I'd rather just have the ram without all the hassle. I have the whole "rebate" thing to deal with too.

Major bummer about the ram and the $25...

In your OP you stated that you were running 2x512's as well. Just out of curiousity, So the tech at the computer shop was able to get this to work but not the new PDC24G6400ELK you purchased?

We'll gladly replace the defective ram but just wondering...
