That's a pretty good price for DRAM and that's a pretty good machine. BTW,
can't you return the bad ones? Most suppliers have lifetime guarantees on those
modules.

I don't understand the "can't use" bit with the 300 GB HD. Put it into
something like the Argosy USB/FW enclosure ($38 + S&H) and it should work with
any of your machines. See
<http://www.pcmicrostore.com/PartDetail.aspx?q=p:10500933> for details. I have
two and they work flawlessly and it supports up to 400 GB HDs.
