Good thing I checked anandtech before buying RAM. I was going to buy a 512mb stick of OCZ pc3200 Premier for $60 shipped. Might as well go for the gig for $25 more when I have the chance.
Good deal. :)
Everytime I try to open a desktop chortcut by double-clicking on the icon, windows file finder opens.
I was customizing my desktop and I'm not sure how I enabled this.
Any ideas?
Thanks for reminding me about this!
Does anyone know if you can spread the 3 out so you can check your credit rating 3 times a year - 1 from each bureau?
Haven't had the chance to burn a data DVD yet. I was recommended to scan my drive speeds with Nero and upgrade the chipset drivers if the results from the speed test are slow. The DVD I tried burning this morning is still burning so I have to wait for it to finish before I upgrade chipset drivers.

OM in Bloomington, IL substituted the MagicSpin (BDVDRW8D) with Pacific Digital, which I heard is a Lite-On.
$79.99 out the door. They changed price at the register and they said don't worry about the rebate.
Also substituted the 25 pack of Khypermedia DVD+R with HP DVD+R and no rebates on...
At the OM in Bloomington, IL they were replacing Khypermedia with HP DVD+r 25 packs and they sold it straight up for $9.99. No rebate hassle. They also substituted Pacific Digital 8x DVD writer for the MagicSpin 8x writer. I'm very impressed!

The point is that shipping on everything is expensive.
I won't deal with a company that images their prices as low but then makes up for the low price in shipping costs.
I've read bad reviews of Gateway digital cameras. With digital cameras you get what you pay for.
If you want a $200 camera then get a Canon A60, 2 megapixel but loads of features and better picture quality than that Gateway camera.
They're shipping prices are rediculous. Shipping on the 17" monitor is $35. Shipping on the HP leather notebook case is $34.
Seems they make up for the super low price by increasing shipping costs.
Followup:
My video card crashed. It musve been banged when removing the IDE cables. Replaced it with a very old S3 video card that was laying around at my parents place.
the new WD 80gb drive works after installing new BIOS.
2 weeks without a computer wasn't pleasant, but now its fun to start...
I can now run high resolution with no problems, but another monitor problem. Win XP defaulted my monitor as Plug and Play so I updated the driver. After I restarted the system the screen is black and white, but there is some color, like the icons my cursor is on. I removed the updated driver and...
Yes, I've been running this combo for 6 months with no problems. The system is efficent unless playing high power video games. You aren't the first person to recommend reseating the video card so I'll give that a try.
My monitor was fine before I tried installing the new WD drive this morning. I got the monitor working fine in windows with the high resolution, but I'm still unable to see the system startup. My monitor is acting as if its on idle. Once the windows boot screen is shown the monitor comes on...
