    RAM upgrade for hp pavilion dv6605us

    dv6605us looks to be a pretty good fit for our needs and at a decent price. Comes with Vista Home Premium but only 1gb RAM...need to up that to at least 2 (4 is max 2x2). HP proprietary RAM is just nuts $100++ / GB (IF you can even find one that fits according to their "compatibility"...

    Trendnet wireless router/adapters $4.99 AR

    Can't comment on the other pieces, but just installed the router in a customers network to replace a LinkSys that was tied up in knots after DSL install nightmare. Unplugged the Linky, plugged in the Trend (to the Vista HP box), rebooted cable modem to grab a new IP and off to the races first...

    I'm guessing that there was at least a touch of cynicism in your comment. If not, you and "chucky" would be the only two individuals left on the planet that actually believed ANYTHING that was "promised"/"stated"/"intimated" by those who have kept this "let's get hits at any cost" fiasco...

    FT, I think I might detect a note of sarcasm (or is it cynicism?). Careful. Next thing you'll be telling us that today's not Friday - or that "word has it....." , or, - asking "word from whom?" Reading your "...a REVEALING hdd enclosure review......" comment, I figured I was missing the...

    Odd sort of way the "delay" worked in my favor/favour as well - kinda, sorta <g>. After what seemed like hundreds of hours trying to come to a decision on the "best" µATX I finally threw in the towel-found a decent enough looking case (NZXT) that would take full size ATX mobo and went with tried...

    the "real article" is obviously, at this point in time, of no concern to AT/gary. Sad state of affairs. That the fanboys continue to defend their actions is sad. Gary has steadfastly refused to post his intentions in this thread for way too long.... He initiated the thread, folks took him at...

    Recommend a new Backup Solution for me

    You've received a bunch of good info so far. I'd add a couple points if I might. First, you need to decide if "backup" means to you - only data, or a full system (including OS), TOTAL system backup where you could restore your box back to it's current state in a matter of minutes? Most of the...
