I don't know if they still do, but Best Buy used to be bad for stuff like that too along with CompUSA.

...If only computer technology progressed as slow as space technology. I would be a millionaire with all the old computer parts laying around my room :D

I predict 100 years from now, RAM as we know it will be a thing of the past. The CPU's cache size will be big enough by then that 'RAM' will no longer be needed.

Ok thank guys! So you're basically saying that the extra 1 GB stick would force the system to run in single channel which would render less performance?

Ok n00bish question, but I just want to make sure I can do this. I just bought this memory for my aging Dell Optiplex 755: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300662266493 Now, I'm thinking of buying one of these...

My Xubuntu that looks like Windows :good: The little penguin is my application menu :D

I say pay phones are all going to disappear for good by the end of this decade. Land line phones, I think, will remain in businesses for the time being, but not so much for residential customers. This is probably still a long ways off, but I think digital broadcasting will eventually replace...

Thanks. I already f 'd up the Ubuntu GUI with some plugins I installed, luckily I was able to find my way back to disable them. I was contemplating Pear OS, but I think I like the look of the one you mentioned, Xubuntu, better.

I was having a problem with ATT DSL not too long ago also. When I upgraded to 6mbps from 3 mbps, I would loose a connection every so often. So after call after call to ATT (you know how that is.. lol), they agreed that it was indeed my old Earthlink Netopia modem going bad. So I found this...

Hi all, I'm back after a long while... Anyways, I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 amd 64-bit on my compaq persario cq-50... a lot of getting used to coming from Windows :o. Anyways, my biggest annoyance with it is, is that you cannot move the side utility bar in the Unity GUI to the bottom of...

I think it might have to do with my Stylish add-on, I cannot tell for sure because the problem happens at random times, not every time.

Hi all, I have been having this weird annoying problem with Firefox 4.0. Sometimes when I first open up a web page, it gives me an all text version of that site. This also was happening when I was still using Firefox 3.6. All I have to do, however, is just push "reload" and it gives me the...

Ok, forgive me if this has been done before, but do you all actually read the Software License Agreements when installing new software? Just something I was wondering what everybody else does.

On the back of the box on most of my Xbox 360 games, it clearly says "HDTV 720p/1080i/1080p" so I'm assuming it would mean a true 1080p. :confused: If anything, it's better than 480i crap, which most of my friends use the standard composite cable that comes with the system. :eek: I though it...

Ok, if you had to choose between the two, 720p or 1080i, which do you think would be the better choice for gaming? (Xbox 360 w/ HDMI cable) I obliviously know 1080p is the best, but my TV does not handle it. Thanks.

It's ok.. lol. I own an iPod myself, but most people do who do not own an Apple computer. Speaking of iPod, if the OP already has an iPod touch or iPhone, you can stream Netflix through it with their free app. You can find the TV cables for iPod cheaply enough online :good:

We stream ours through an Apple TV (my dad's a big Apple fan :rolleyes:) connected to our main living room TV. I would however not recommended getting an Apple TV and save some $$$ and get the Roku like already mentioned. Our internet speed averages 2.75 Mbs and I can still notice compression...

Since the mobo can only handle DDR memory, it will be costly to upgrade the memory since manufactures are now focusing on the more modern DDR3 which is less expensive. However, the minimum system requirements for WoW is 1 GB, so you might be able to squeeze by with that. (I say might too because...

Does the mobo have a graphics slot? Is it AGP or PCI Express? An addition of just a better video card might do the trick. PS.. nice to see another Tennessean here :cool: Edit.. after googleing that model number, I found that it has a PCI Express slot. So perhaps a decent PCI Express card would...

Yeah I wish for us Tennesseans...:( We get charged sales tax along with New Jersey and California. However, when they offer free shipping on an item, it typically outweighs the price comparison if Tigerdirect has the same item with shipping charges, since tax is cheaper than shipping.
