RAM question
    #5807164 - 06/30/06 03:53 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

My girlfriend's mom just got a 256MB stick of RAM. One of her co-workers gave it to her, used. How would someone go about checking it to see if it's good? If it's fried she isn't out anything because it was free.

My main concern is how it was handled after being removed from the first computer, static and such. When she told me she was getting it, i gave her one of those static free bags. I also told her to only handle it by the short edges, being careful not to touch anything other than the very edges.

thanks
snakeman

If it's fried, you'll see it.

There will be black scorch marks on the copper edge

I'd say just plug it into a system and see if windows recognizes it.
