Kiddo is asking me to look over specs for a pre-build PC he is looking to buy off of New Egg or Tiger Direct.
I am used to them listing more specs (or at least say part make and model so you can look them up) and there is a distinct lack of information on some areas. Looks like they are "helping" the customer some more /sigh
My build is going on 10 years old, the MB uses tri-channel with a limit of 24g, and I got a 90 page users manual when looking to purchase!
--takes his walker to go yell at kids on his lawn--
Anyways, one of the things baffling me is "RAM capacity" being so effing low. Either things are working backwards, or they are trying to say that is the limit per slot... but I can't seem to readily confirm what they are actually meaning.
Thought I would ask if someone can enlighten me on this new advertisement jargon, since all I can find are explanation on how ram works... how there are limits both in over capacity and per slot capacity and in what the OS can handle (already knew this) but not if what is being advertised is a total RAM limit or per slot limit... especially since the preview pics are showing 4 slots. (we are back to 2G and 4G sticks?!?)
