I agree with the fact that the American and Japanese parts are far
superior, but you bluntly stated that the Samsung chips won't work.  And
they do!

The reason the upgrade failed was ram chip failure (of course!).  Of course
you aren't the only one who has had problems, why should I ask when it has
happened to me?

I answered all the questions you asked before you asked them.

And NEC and Hitachi are among my least favorite of Japanese parts - I
prefer Toshibas for Japanese and TI for American.  But with the prices now,
it's almost cheaper to get static ram.
