My PC’s been getting a little slow in it’s old age so I thought I’d treble its RAM to 384Mb. I’ve never used Crucial before, but they are often raved about, so thought I’d give them ago. And it was a very pleasing experience.

In the back bedroom where I am sat, there are 12 items which require a plug socket. Eight of them are PCs or PC equipment.
