if you are a cheap bastard like me, you buy a computer with min. ram and then buy the ram you need from 3rd party, because it is cheaper and has a lifetime warranty. most ram has lifetime warranty, so it’s really a no brainer choice between that without and one with lifetime warranty. now i buy ram from an online company that buys back your old ram an gives up to 50% back on the ram you return based off of what they sell the equivalent ram for. in the end, it works out cheaper than anywhere else. now, this is useful since being a gadget weener that i am, i buy computers with min ram and buy maxed out ram for the puter so i don’t need the old ram any more.

the point of the article, as i saw it, was that you should verify your warranties. this also should include extended warranties that your credit card company offers and perhaps your renter’s or home owner’s policies cover.

If you actually care about this sort of thing, you care. There are still lots of people who build and upgrade their PCs part by part, or scavenge old PC parts from here and there, and they’ll care bigtime about this sort of thing.

Upgrading PCs is far easier than horsing around with cars or most home improvement tasks, and if you know how to do it, you can save tons of money over the years by upgrading your PC part-by-part as you need to, as opposed to buying a brand new one when the latest game runs a bit slow or is unhappy with your old video card.

I think it would seem they are playing off the fact that most people get new computers faster then they new RAM. It is a nice perk, but how often do you really need to replace RAM?
