If HP is right and it is an incompatability with the RAM, your two complaints
are that Fry's failed to recognize the incompatibility, and that it took HP so
long to return your machine. By themselves, those are not very damning.
Every manufacturer/seller/servicer of everything has those kinds of failures.

I have been using a temporary replacement computer for (way too long),
but am committed to getting a new desktop system Really, Really Soon Now.
So I thought this thread might provide some advice, but so far, not much.
