[colug-432] RAM

[Chris Embree]

Pfft.  When did you become such a girl? ;)  You can return anything you buy
with your Visa/Mastercard/AMX within 30days. I have personally returned
DDR3 RAM to Microcenter with no restock fees, no hassle and no regrets. It
should have worked in my system, but didn't.

@OP Buy it, try it and take it back if it sucks.  Rejoice if it works
better than expected.

YMMV, IANAL, $0.02. ;)
