I -just- bought the Canon Powershot SD870 IS to replace my 4+-year-old Canon Powershot S400. The S400 still works, but it's having trouble focusing sometimes, and it's just not very fast. (Hrm. Sounds like computers!) I'll regift it to a family member who will use it, so it'll continue to...

Replaced G.Skill memory with Corsair XMS2 - better timings and a MIR of $30. Removed Arctic Silver 5 to stay within budget - will be using stock HSF as I will very likely NOT be overclocking soonish. AS5 and an aftermarket HSF can be bought down the road. As it turns out, I'm very glad I...

Well poop - the E6550 just went from 175 to 199 at Newegg. Apparently they see stuff in my cart and either sell out of it or raise the prices. :)

Hey everybody - here's the skinny. Four days ago, I bought a Dell Dimension E521 from Wal*Mart. It's a decent computer - AMD X2 4000+, 2GB RAM, 250GB HD, etc etc etc. So I bought a Radeon X1950PRO from Newegg, and was heartbroken when I went to install it. (Yes, I know, I bought a Dell...

I knew Vista was a memory hog, but seriously

Same. Two users on this machine use sidebar, and our combined 4 processes are less than 80MB. (I have seven gadgets in my sidebar atm.)

Who do you miss most, of the people who've left?
