Does this behavior match what you know about capacitors? Remove memory boards: -Push down on both white tabs simultaneously, and the board will pop out. -Estimate the area of one stick of RAM. -Compare with the RAM you were provided. Can you estimate if one of the RAM boards will be faster? How can you tell?
