    My first Rig and I need Help

    I Currently have the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB which has been working great so far! Also to point at an interesting fact, the WD drive you posted is SATA 6.0Gb/s (SATA III) where as the SAMSUNG Spinpoint is only SATA 3.0Gb/s (SATA II). The interesting part is that 3.0Gb/s is equal to 384...

    blue-ray vs hd-dvd

    To add, Sony has also fully backed blu-ray (PS3), and for good reason, blue ray discs have a higher capacity than HD, much higher. A single layer HD DVD has a capacity of 15 GB and a dual layer 30 GB, however a single layer Blu-ray has a capacity of 25 GB and a dual layer 50 GB. The fact is...

    I just bought RAM and it's not working.. can someone tell me why?

    I believe I bought dual sided dimms, they have memory chips on both sides of the card and the ones that came in the computer don't. I guess this is the problem, that sucks!!!

    Problem accessing floppy drive

    it's not the drive, this happens to me all of the time. I normally just reformat it, however you could try to look for some file recovery software. It also might have something to do with the content on that MS page.. you could try copying the disk through the command line and experimenting on...

    BIOS password

    OK, after looking around I have figured out that laptops don't normally have reset jumpers, you have to (as you said) remove the clock battery. I tried to find info on how to do it by looking at the www.dell.com, but came to the conclusion that not only does dell make the worst computers, but...

    I just bought RAM and it's not working.. can someone tell me why?

    no, PC3200 is backwards compatible with PC2700. You can think of it like this. You have a CD burner that writes at 32x, however if you buy 52x discs. They will still work, they will just write at 32x.

    I just bought RAM and it's not working.. can someone tell me why?

    OK (4 x 512MB) that is 2GB??? So according to the info you found at hp, the ram should work, right? I tested to see if it was recognized by going in to BIOS, however BIOS said the slot with the 1GB card in it was empty, and when I tried to boot up with just the 1GB card installed, it wouldn't...
