Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I can replace the current 128 with two 512s or a 512 and a 256, right?
Right
If I do replace the existing stick, will I need to offload all my files first?
no.
the best brand for memory? I need dimms 133s and on smalldog, I see Kingston, Crucial, PNY
All three have their proponents. You can just take the ram Small Dog lists for an eMac under 1 Ghz [link] if you want it to just work, and be covered by warrantee as long as you own your computer.
The memory is purchased! And the form to exchange the dvd for Tiger for cds has been downloaded. (Curse apple for making me love them and then jerking me around!)
Whoa. Sorry for the thread killage.
I've worked out my dvd drive issue via a call to Tekserve in NYC, which came very highly recommended by a 'builds his own' tech contact.
Looks like the LaCie D2 DVR is the way to go. USB compatible and not very expensive. Bonus...lightscribe permanent labeling on the appropriate media.
Really though, all I need to do is read data dvds and play movies.
Low expectations...that's me!

Woot! New memory has been achieved. 1024 on board baybee...
Bring on the upgraded software!

Care to explain the joke for those of us apparently not Geeky enough.
In the Unix/BSD/Linux/Apple command line world, you are limited by your login as to what you can do. Unless you log in as root, in which case you can do anything. Logging in as root is considered dangerous because you can really mess things up - especially if you forget you're actually logged in as root. But sometimes you need the unlimited power of the root user.
'sudo' is something you preceed a command with if you want to execute just that one command as root, reducing the chance of you screwing up.
Prophylactic Simon Sez. Yup. Geeky.
Question: Lately, whenever I plug in my flaah drive, all my music files start loading to it automatically! A screen pops up when I plug it in that asks me if I want it to automatically perform a function with Media player, and I always click "Take No Action" but the little bastards start streaming over to the flash drive anyway.
Can someone help me make the madness STOP?
