onlycw Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Take "247 MB" - the CPU is old, too. Multiply this with xx PCs and you see the extent of this issue. Q: Is there a source of inexpensive used RAM for old PCs? Q: What do you reckon happened here? The IT guy must have known the root of all the problems!

ShopBoy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 The specifications might be for a 1gig ram but when delivered it's 247 mb Too much issue in the order/supply chain you just don't know where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54321 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Why pay for top of the range Pcs when they all look the same on the outside? As long as they look good the school can pay top prices, but get bottom of the range and take the kickbacks. Its only childrens education after all.

worgeordie Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 No problem, they will just scrap them and order more from China, its only money,and not theirs,more commissions,so job done, seems they will buy anything,bomb detectors,blimps,water treatment plants,rice at exorbitant prices,no one is ever responsible,business as usual as long as % is paid. regards Worgeordie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Before you buy new ram be sure the mother boards can take what you want (both amount and type). They may be old computers that can not be upgraded that easily. If all the same have one checked to see what can be done - that should not cost much.

Much better than schlepping a laptop to work every single day. www.crucial.com has a software tool checking the configuration (type, number of slots etc.) What surprises me is that no one seems to mind the abysmal situation!
