On starting up the PC it just showed as the Power LED being lit, but no other activity. The origional memory was 256Mb DDR PC2100 Ram. The computer can take upto 1 Gig, so I went on the the Mr Memory site and selected my laptop model and asked for 2 x 512 Mb Ram - I recieved 2 x SOD333 PC2700U - 512 MB Ram

It would seem that this is not compatible, or have I missed a step somewhere

The kids just need internet access and MS Office. They also need a video card so they can play Lego Star Wars and Cars.

Costco has an emachines C6357 complete system with a nVidia GeForce 6100 for just $499 (flat monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, RW DVD and CD). It's Vista compatible, but I don't really care about that right now. It's got a 2-year warranty and Costco will take it back up to 6 months.

We bought a Dell 6 months ago and it's been nothing but trouble and their customer service and tech support is complete CRAP. If money was no object, I'd take a sledgehammer to it.

Remember, I only want to spend about $500, I want it to work, I want to be able to take it back, we won't be using it for photos or music or any major big-league games. The kids are 5 and 7 - they want to play Lego Star Wars, practice typing and go to disney.com.

Thanks in advance!

The cup holder on my PC has snapped off when I put a heavy glass in it. It's an electrically driven drawer, which says 'DVD' on the front. Are 'DVD' cup holders expensive to replace?

Hi, has anyone used this tablet(XP-Pen 8060b) before? I'm asking here because I can't find much information about this product in English. As in accuracy, etc. Or if not, just some information about the XP-Pen brand in general?

Basically, what I'd like to know is how well they function, do they break down much, accuracy of the pen, etc. If anyone can provide a link or some resource that gives some solid information on this product, let me know! :)

(I'm only looking for information on this specific tablet, not Wacom or Aiptek or any other brand.)

My sons gaming pc uses DDR2 memory. Currently has two 512 sticks installed in slots A-1 and B-1. The manufacturer (Velocity Micro) said I could use a gig stick to double the memory but to make sure I installed it in the 2 slot. The two slots remaining are marked A-2 and B-2. I tried both and the pc would not boot and gave a series of beeps. What am I doing wrong. Does the dual channel requirement have anything to do with this? Should I be using two 512 sticks? I am positive I have the coorect memory for the pc. Please help.

Are there different types of power supply? Is it bad to get one that's too powerful? Do all power supplies have a standard number of plugs? How do I figure out how much power (200, 400 watts...) my computer needs? Should I always buy new? And so on.
