Quote - Be very careful removing your RAM!!!

That's why I said "if you know how to do it". But, frankly, it is an overstep. If you simply unplug the machine for a few minutes you achieve the same result. What some are suggesting is to remove the battery that keeps your CPU clock up to date. That too is probably an over-reaction, but there are viruses out there that can hide in the ram used by that clock... For me, I don't need to worry there as my clock battery has been dead for years. I got a bad one when I bought the MB... if I unplug my PC, it decides its 1/1/2002 and even forgets what speed my CPU is set to...

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
