Re: Wrong RAM

Maybe he used to replace ram in Sun Ultra machines.

I think it was the U60 where you had to press down on the ram so hard the motherboard literally started bending before the ram would fit.

And this was proper Sun original sun certified memory ...

we found that the (relatively) cheaper 3rdparty memory would fit a lot easier (still requiring ridiculous amounts of force though).

but the sight of my colleague bearing down his full weight on the ram, and the mobo bending was quite something
