I replied on the 7th with a list of available dates for the week of...

    Getting a AAA rate at a hotel...

    To get a AAA discount at a hotel you have to be a card holder. I'm not but my brother, who is staying in the same room, happens to be a member. If I book the room in my name for two people, and he stays with me, can we get the discount still? Here is what the hotel website says about this issu...

    Is my motherboard dying?

    I get BSODs when both RAM slots are filled. If only one is filled, with either of my two sticks of RAM, the system boots fine. But there are a few other problems when only one slot is filled... One USB slot doesn't work properly anymore. If I look at the device manager it is blank. Same with...

    PSU or VPU poblem...

    I've been getting random restarts and after going through the event viewer I've found that it has something to do with RAM.

    Will the 9800pro drop in price by the end of the year?

    Will they? Or is $199 a good price already? I was gonna order one in January for ~$300. Now midway through the year they're $100 less. Any reason to believe the price will drop even more, especially with all the new cards out?

    Email address and applying for a job...

    Do employers want a serious sounding email address when you send them your resume via email? I was gonna make a new one using my real name since I figured that my avatar, which is in my current email address, sounds somewhat silly. Or does this have no bearing whatsoever?
