Hi,

I have E6300+Asus P5B+with Transcend 512mb ddr2 ram, I want to upgrade it to 1 Gb, I am getting 512mb ddr2 4m Zion , but my vendor says it may be incompatible with my existing transcend module ! Is that so?

^^ There is probability.I would never do such a thing,buy one module and buy another one after some time and add it to my Rig.

Either i keep 1 stick or buy 2 sticks at a time.Avoids compatibility issues.

Better buy a Transcend module itself. Its safer and ul mostly get better performance

Why not? Ask ur dealer for Transcend service contact in Delhi. No harm in asking ur dealer itself.

Thats the most tricky part, the kolkattadealer may give u the address but the delhi distributor may not be obliged, there are many issues involved.

I bought Zyxel wifi dongle & it was giving problems I wanted to get it exchanged (Later I found it was driver clashing with zonealarm) so did not need the exchange, but when I sent a mail to zyxel I got a call from their distributor from bangalore to confirm the serial no & later told me that they are not going to provide the service since this was imported by another vendor from directly zyxel.

I was furious...........reported te matter to the vendor but by then the problem got sorted out.

Be careful about this, customer srvice is not a priority of many dealers inindia &customer is left to their own fate.
