OK, so I saw the shell shocker deal on NewEgg for a 2X8G 1600MHz RAM set for a good price. Sent over the specs to our tech guy who ordered my new computer and asked if this was compatible with my new system he ordered.
"Probably" he said.
I wrote back "So DIMM or not?". Bad choice of words there, eh? Should have asked 240 or 204 pin...
He replied "no".
I bought it.
Computer gets delivered and it IS a laptop, requiring SO-DIMM (So DIMM), and then the DIMM RAM chips get delivered.
I should have gone and read the purchase order for the computer myself.
NewEgg wants 15% restocking fee plus shipping for return.
All this RAM can be had for $80. Shipping not included.
