Question about RAM Slots

[x1v]

Somehow, the idiot that I am, I managed to snap off one of the white pieces that clicks in and holds the memory when I was trying to install a stick. My question is, do I need a new mobo? or is the slot still usable with one snap thing? Is there replacements or something else I could use? I really dont feel like buying a new mobo etc..

If it sticks it's ok, just don't bump your case/chassis. :roll:

lol. you mean lay my tower on it's side and let gravity hold it in? =p

 

[Algere]

It works

but you might wanna invest in a external optical disc drive...

 

[x1v]

why's that?

 

[Algere]

CD/DVD's might not operate efficiently on it's side.

hmm just installed it, and it's working fine right side up, *prays* ;]

maybe you could come up with something to secure the stick? like using a rubberband or tape, i dont know but you dont want it to fall out

You'll experience some chip creep on that slot in a few months. So you might have to keep pushing it snug in the slot every week or so.
