    Here is a stupid question: do memory cards/ram need drivers? More specifically, if two same model machines have only different memory capacity, and you replace the hard drive of one with the other, do you need to download the "driver" for the memory that replaces the original one?

    Nope. Ram modules do not need driver.

    cheers ...

    Thanks, good to know. When I see you answer I just realized how stupid I was: people keep adding rams without having to download new 'drivers'! :p

    There is nothing wrong with your question. You'd be surprised of some of the crazy queries I put out.

    cheers ...
