Okay, I'm looking for a new dynamic microphone to record my songs with and I stumbled across this microphone and it's REALLY cheap which make me wonder if it's a ripoff. Is this deal legit?

I have a stick of ram that I pulled from a computer with a fried motherboard. This stick of ram says "512mb, DDR, 333.

Will this be compatible with a Dell Deminision 2400, a computer that takes PC2700?

Thanks!

I currently have 192 mb ram on my laptop, an hp pavilion ze4300. In my 2 ram slots I have a 64 mb ram card and a 128 mb ram card. So, will upgrading one of the cards to a 512 mb card greatly increase speed, or do I have to upgrade both of them to notice a change?

I have an ECS Elitegroup P965T-A (rev 1.0b)...
I also have an ATI Radeon 9250

When i use them both, i can't get the graphics accelerator to work on the graphics card, and most of the time the card is useless (apart from the extra video ram, it does nothing).

Can anyone help?

My original battery is about to kick the bucket. It's dying a slow death. Should I order a new OEM battery from Dell for $$$. Or is it safe to order one through another site that's not OEM? Any recommendations on good sites and battery manufacturers? Thanks.
