	Holy shit. And I thought my laptop had a lot of stuff in it... I bet that thing will get insainly hot. My laptop has two 7200rpm hard drives, a 8600m and a 2.2ghz C2D and it gets pretty warm. I would think it would need at least 2 cooling fans in it just to keep it from burning up. It looks like you can even configure a RAID 0 or RAID 1 as well. ------------------- quote TurMoiL911 is there a way to train a pet to perform oral sex on you ?

	I'm looking for some more RAM for my sisters computer. Its been pretty slow for a while, so I figure I can upgrade the 1gb of ram to 2gb for about $30. For some reason it doesnt like the 3 sticks of 512mb of ram I have, so I was just going to get 2x 1gb. Now this is what confuses me. I can get a 2x 1gb set of DDR2 for about $20-$40, with just 3 over the $40 rang. I figure, regular old DDR, since its an older technology, would be cheaper. Nope. The cheapest DDR 2x 1gb kit I can find is $66. Even just a 2x 512mb kit starts out at $38. Why is DDR suddenly so much higher than DDR2? I cant figure that out at all. Also, does anyone know of a decent wireless print server thats under $70? All that I can find on Newegg costs over $70. ------------------- quote TurMoiL911 is there a way to train a pet to perform oral sex on you ?

	The reason older technology is more expensive over time is that they are becoming obsolete. It's harder to find older technology than newer technology. So the ones who carry them will know that demand is higher than the current available supply. ------------------- No gaming right now... my T42 video is toast (almost)...

	quote Nu Wa Rocks The reason older technology is more expensive over time is that they are becoming obsolete. It's harder to find older technology than newer technology. So the ones who carry them will know that demand is higher than the current available supply. i would assume that phasing out manufacturing methods would have a part to play as well. if RAM and GPU manufacturing is anything like mobo maufacturing, then it would seem about right. quote Nu Wa Rocks I'm just curios as to who would sell their first born (maybe even 2nd and 3rd) for that laptop.

	quote Nu Wa Rocks Why not provide some simple services. Some examples are: babysitting, car washes, walking the neighbor's dogs, lawn-mowing, etc... If you are good with your neighbors, I'm sure some of them won't mind paying you some money for those services. Easy way to make a little extra money. Shit, if you lived near me, I would gladly pay you $10 to wash my car, and $25 to mow my lawn!!!! I don't like washing my car, and I am too lazy to take it to a car wash. i'm one of those people that would appreciate home service (someone coming by and providing these simple services) instead of having to go and do these items elsewhere. Damn, I need a neighbor like you. Only one I can see paying for that. This nice old guy (Not saying your old lol) pays kids like $10 and giant candy bar to rake his yard. Not "$10 one time payment" but like, every day (for like 2 hours) he gives you $10. I did that one year but I think some kids started doing that. Not to mention it's summer and not fall. And we have waaay too many car washes. Baby sitting maybe... plenty of kids, but most parents are like "Hey watch my kids while I go get some beer". I have redneck neighbors. Wait, mowing the lawn. Ha, I'll have to get my cheap dad to pay me to mow it. Edit: About that laptop, that thing would be HOT. I have like, a cheap $400 Toshiba with like a 1.6GHz 1 core and it runs pretty hot. :\ ------------------- Jeff Gordon FTW.
