I agree that it is awesome. However, being a cat lover and fully familiar with my three cats, I just thought of a super computer acting like a cat as quite funny. What has been accomplished in...

Bula!

any ideas? or just a fluke of the computing universe?

I have an Asus A7V333 motherboard that has three memory slots for up to 3gb. When I bought it some years ago, 256mb was more than sufficient. That 256mb card was an OCZ. Later, I saw the need for...

any ideas?

I have a laptop that the 80gb drive now seems too small. I would like to buy a bigger drive and copy the image of the original drive onto it. How would I physically do that? I understand the...

In my system now, I have a 256mb ddr card and a 512mb ddr card. I'm thinking of buying two 1gb cards. I have heard of having two cards with the same capacity doing something like 'dual channel'. ...
