I need to add some ram to my pc. I'd like to get 4 gig (ddr3 1333) As I am in an extreme money crunch right now I am looking at Amazon for a good deal. Best buy is quite expensive in comparison....

Sorry. I am sure I clicked on UBUNTU for the OS tag but obiously I am wrong about that. Yes, I do have UBUNTU.

Everything I google say it needs 4 gig. Can you tell me a reason for your alternative info?

I have a version of gparted that is probably 10 years old. It gas always worked fine. Is there a reason why I would need to start using a newer up-to-date version?

Wife wants a new pc. I haven't built one in years. Need suggestions. Heres what I know and what I need to know.
