incidentally
I have a knackered 3 year-old DIMM you can have for free. It's the one that snapped off my motherboard after my DVD drive smashed into it during my PC's traumatic journey from the UK to Japan.

The moving company must have kicked it out of the plane without a parachute. I have never seen so much damage to a PC before.

Total damage? The case was severely buckled and the hard disk caddy was deformed (I unfucked it with a hammer). The motherboard had lost several capacitors (I re-soldered the little twats), I lost half a gig of RAM, three of my four hard disks, the VGA card and three years of carefully cultivated dust.

But like a phoenix from the flames, it lives again. I feel like I've resuscitated a child.
