    PCSPECIALIST 48GB RAM as 2 matching pairs?

    I'm thinking of upgrading the RAM on a prebuilt machine (I'm running some CAD software that is very RAM hungry). It came with 16GB (as 2 sticks of 8), and I was thinking of either another pair of the same to take it to a total of 32GB, or keep the 2*8 and add 2*16, to give a total of 48GB For...

    PCSPECIALIST Very pretty but arrived damaged :(

    Update - PCS got back to me quickly and are sorting out a replacement foot. I've tried the machine out, and things all seem to be working so far. I ran PCMark and get a score of 7142 - does that sound about right for this machine? (the Poseidon R7...

The power supply just failed, and I'm keeping the ssd/hdd, but I figure the rest might be useful to someone at least for parts and am wondering if it's worth anything...

    PCSPECIALIST Add boxed RAM (to install myself) to a prebuilt next day PC order?

    I just ordered a prebuilt desktop, which comes with 2 8GB Corsair Vengeance 3000MHz sticks, but I was planning to add 2 more of the same in the other slots, to take it to total of 32GB I understand the next day order is only possible because pcspecialist aren't changing the prebuilt machine, but...
