Same here. It's been about 98% accurate for me since I've started using it - which has to be close to the time it was first released. There are plenty of other little utilities that will inventory you hardware but Crucial's scanner is so easy to use, is kept up to date with newer technologies and gives you a price list when you're done. Sometimes I order directly from them but generally I order Crucial's memory direct from my supplier which is less expensive and faster delivery. There are cheaper brands but I've had some issues in the past with the low end RAM. It's usually not a big enough cost difference to justify the risk IMO. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of DJK (John) Robinson Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2011 6:11 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] RAM Terminology Great!
