i live in ft worth and have electric heati have more sq feet than you and my electric bills have been about 250/month this winterok, lots of things to consider herei assume you know about KW/hr and how much your rate per KWH isright? is your rate inflated for some reason? maybe you can find a better deal? are you on a co op or a major utility? does your furnace cycle properly? what is your t-stat set point? do you turn the t-stat down when you go to bad or leave? do you have a programmable t-stat? does the furnace just run all the time? do you have a new digital meter? lot's of folks are saying their bills are inflated after those are installedif you have TXU, call them and say you want an energy auditsomething is wrongif you call a hvac company, they will just try and sell you a heat pumpany way, i'm happy to help if i canlot's more info neededshoot me an email if you want tojim
The best thing is to package them in antistatic bags which should be available from pretty much any electronics distributor although the cost can start adding up in quantityWrapping them individually in tin foil is a good second optionAvoid bubble wrap which another answerer recommended - plain bubble wrap is one of the worst things going for accumulating a static chargeMetallized bubble wrap is fine but somewhat specializedOnce protected against static to be honest they're pretty robust if you use common sense - not standing or sitting on them etcIf you are sending them through the post they will need some rigid outer protectionIf they are being stored for an extended period it may be an idea to pack them (in their antistatic bags or tin foil) inside a sealed box with a few sachets of silica gel thrown in to trap any moisture.
RAM is a memory which stores data (ANY DATA) while your computer is on, so that the CPU may work with this data fasterAfter you computer gets shutdown (through a OS shutdown function not by pulling out the plug) computer stores the date kept in the RAM on to the HDD (at least some of it which is meant to be stored)CPU works only with data in RAM so that operations might be processed much much fasterSo you will need to copy data from one HDD to other is you want to keep it, but you may have 2 and more HDD's in your machine depending on the motherboard architecture and number of HDD controllersSo there might not be a point to swap the HDD'shope this gives you an idea of the situationsP.SThere were even a HDD's made from RAM, up to 4Db, but they required additional power supply so that the data would not be lostThe reason ? A super fast data maneagementSo RAM can store anything if the application is programmed to do so.
Any dry, static free container will work fineI have my spare RAM in a cardboard box in a cabinet.
if your an adminput the extra ram in your server roomany box will dobut they do make ram modules trays.
