Thanks all. Crucial was my first choice back in the day so it sounds like they're still the way to go.

Who makes the best Laptop Memory? I'm buying a new Dell Inspiron 8600 and I need to beef up its memory (not paying dell's exorbitant rates). It is PC2700 DDR SODIMM. I've been out of the game for a long time and have no clue who's the best on the block any longer. And any suggestions on the...

Wheres the best place to buy a CPU/Mem/Mobo/case kit? Or barebones kits in general?

Unfortunately the commercial services are capped at 2 down / 384 up. Comcast is the WORST cable company I have ever had. I am amazed that I am remembering Time Warner in NYC fondly. I have a HD cable box and the HD channels are hidden all over the place. Time Warner at least had them have...

So I just got a house in Alexandria and have comcast cable modem and its HORRIBLE. They cap down at 1.5 and up at 256 or something. And I can't get my speakeasy 1.5/768 because apparently there is a DLC (digital loop carrier, i.e fiber) on my line which prevents (A)(S)DSL (and IDSL is CRAP)...

Ok I've built my own machines and I've bought prefab machines and I've come to the following conclusion: if you want to get the best available, top of the line, state of the art stuff you build it yourself; if you just want a computer you buy prebuilt. Dell/etc buy components so much cheaper...

Setting up the VPN and AD is the least of my problems. Thats something I have intricate knowledge of (I did enterprise level system engineering in my past jobs before doing this business). I even have a couple copies of ACE Server lying around if I wanted to go to that Nth level of security...

In hind sight I think I am emphasizing too much the need for it to be remotely accessible. Since we are setting up a VPN anyway the database will be remotely accessible no matter what. I don't want someone to think that, that is our first and foremost priority.

Here is a note I sent to a couple people who contacted me about it: Here is what we want. At first and most importantly, we want a database that will keep track of all customer interaction, create invoices and reports of current orders (pending orders list by various categories). This includes...

I am a partial owner of a small online business. We manufacture subwoofers for Home Theater. SV Subwoofers We need to create a database for our customer and order information and the like. It's going to be a very simple database with a couple tab-delimited text imports and manual user...

I don't know if this is off-topic for this category or this forum in general, if it is, admin feel free to shut it down or move it. I am a partial owner of a small online business. We manufacture subwoofers for Home Theater. SV Subwoofers We need to create a database for our customer and...

I am having problems with a HP Officejet G85 connected by USB to a Tyan Thunder K7 S4262UNG dual proc 1.2ghz with 1gig ram. The HP support people think its because the USB controller is a OpenHCD USB Controller and not an Intel. They think that it is not providing the proper power requirements...

great, Tyan's got an infinite loop going on in their routing tables: Tracing route to www.tyan.com [208.128.207.2] over a maximum of 30 hops: 5 30 ms 30 ms 40 ms chi-core-03.inet.qwest.net [205.171.8.162] 6 80 ms 90 ms 80 ms svl-core-01.inet.qwest.net [205.171.8.51] 7...

So anyone know an email address there? That might be able to get to someone who can hit their webmaster in the head?

I am having problems with my S2462UNG and need to get on their website for tech support/ new bios but I can't seem to access their website. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know an email address there, I might be able to send to, to let them know about the problem?
