Like refilled toners and ink carts in a warranty printer - it can only void the warranty if the part in question causes the problem and then it's only that particular instance that would be void not the entire warranty. Support might be also limited without OEM parts - Compaq will not support a problem witn non-Compaq memory in the machine during troubleshooting. When you call Compaq for warranty support that might be memory related they tell you to remove all non-warranty memory and cards first. Hp does that as well and many clone builders do too. In most cases if a user installed non-OEM item causes a problem they may be liable for the cost of a service call and any parts needed, similar to the phone co charging a service call if you have your own wiring inside and it's found that their equipment outside is not at fault (assuming you don't have an inside wiring plan, I never have and it's never been my equipment haha) > -----Original Message----- > From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of John Madden > Sent: Monday, March 29, 2004 5:05 PM > To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [CTS] Re: Dell PowerEdge Memory 1300 > > > > You will not find registered memory.
