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!
Each memory slot can hold DDR2 PC2-6400,DDR2 PC2-5300
Does that mean the slots can hold either the PC2-6400 or the PC2-5300?
you might suffer a slight performance hit since you won't get the benefits of dual channel memory.
Good to know. Thanks.
(I swear, I consider myself pretty tech-savvy, having had two separate support techs tell me I knew a lot about computers "for a girl", but this laptop stuff is kicking my ass.)

Computer tech guys still say stuff like that?
Maybe it's just the ones who don't get out much....
that reminds me of this
Joanna, fire.
I love that cartoon.
I believe they meant it in a nice way. Admittedly, I was calling Alienware, which is a specialized retailer and probably doesn't get as many women calling in as places like Dell and HP.
But yeah, I said "BIOS", and they were impressed.
I'm now running FCP on this dinky little Sony display, and I can't stop laughing. It's like I just went back in time 10 years.

Maybe that's why they don't get out much.
CompUSA is going away? Damn.
Has anyone worked with Newegg?
If you mean ordered stuff from Newegg, then I've done that many times.
I've bought stuff from Newegg, too, and haven't had any problems. I'm going to miss CompUSA, despite not liking them very much. I stopped shopping there for a long time in the 90's because they insisted on searching through the bags on the way out, bags you'd just paid for not thirty seconds before and twenty feet away, generally treating customers like criminals. They did finally give that up, and I started going there again. Unfortunately, they're the only option in my neck of the woods that had any kind of decent selection computer parts, especially for the kind of stuff you need to build your own machines. Very handy when you blow a power supply and need a replacement NOW.
