With the power off, you can just check to see if the sticks physically fit in the sockets. That won't hurt anything and will eliminate a lot of research if they don't.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Or remove one of the existing sticks and see if they're the same--it'll minimise chances of damaging anything by trying to fit a little too eagerly.

That's a good idea.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Thanks, Daniel.
No problem. I must admit, the best case scenerio your ram will work or just not.

Yeah, good ideas. I was actually planning on doing both of those things in the process, but I also wanted something better than just "try it and see what happens" if I got past those steps.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Can someone please ping REDACTED for me?
eta: nevermind.

I'm too lazy to search, but a while back, someone was having trouble installing Windows Media Player on a Mac?
I just had the same problem w/ my office Powerbook, and it turned out that the damn thing didn't have Stuffit Expander installed. After I downloaded and installed that, I was finally able to open the .bin file that Microsoft packaged the WMP installer in. (Pre-Stuffit, the Powerbook kept trying to open it with Excel, which wasn't going so well.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Uhm, WMP for Mac isn't supported by Microsoft any more.
You should be using Flip4Mac which is a QT plugin.

Hey. New board.
Yup, what Tom said. I just wish Flip4Mac would release an intel version. Having to open Quicktime in Rosetta when i want to use it to watch a WMV file is very obnoxious (plus, way slow).

There's MPlayer for OSX
I use MPlayer for Linux and it works quite well, don't know how good it is for OS X, but it plays just about anything.
