Are they reliable? Do they run well? Last long? Break easily? What are your experiences with Dell? Please make sure you're talking about laptops, not desktops. Thanks.

I have a HP OmniBook XE3, I am not sure if its a 100 or 133 fsb, and I am not sure how to determine that. In my research I find that I need 32x64-100MHz PC100 144pin ram. I can buy this ram for a variety of prices. The cheapest of which claims to be for a mac power book, I can pay more to get an HP compatible stick of ram. The real question is is there any difference, wouldnt every 32x64-100MHz PC100 144 pin be exactly the same or do I need to pay extra?

I have a PC that is connected to a cable modem and a broadband router. The router sends a signal to my brother's room so he can go online, as well as to my Apple iBook G4, which has always automatically detected the network and gotten online with ease.

Yesterday, I came home and popped on my PC to play a game. I received a messge onscreen stating essentially that my network was down. This happens periodically when we go through a power fluctuation, as it resets the router/modem. Usually, I just unplug the router for a few seconds than, all is well. However, there was no sign of a household power flux (reset stereo clocks, etc.). Regardless, I reset the router and all was well. Later I was online via WiFi with no problem (on Apple).

I put down the Apple, and when I returned, there was no signal on the Airport icon. I have yet to be able to connect with my laptop since. My PC is fine, however. Any thoughts on what happend and how to fix it? I have a Linksys-g router.
