Sorry to hear that dude, but its a lesson learned indeed.

Never,never, never buy used hardware, especially ram. It may be different if your buying it from a friend who lives next door or something but ebay is a tricky place. There are lots of people there just waiting to take advantage of someone trying to save a few bucks, its ashame. They do have good deals floating around but its hard to tell which is what.Good luck and i hope you find a new stick.

Thanks Liljim, I appreciate the sympathy and will certainly think twice about doing it again.
