Further details about the shooter’s motive or any potential connection to the university are not provided in the available information.

The things i have observed in terms of pc memory is always that there are features such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must match the requirements of the mother board. If the pc’s motherboard is kind of current while there are no computer OS issues, updating the storage space literally normally takes under a couple of hours. It’s one of many easiest personal computer upgrade processes one can consider. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
