Worth upgrading graphics on HP a6120n?

The title says it all, I have an EVGA 8800GTS 320mb card and 4gig pc5300 memory (the max) in my system. My wife and I agreed to spend some tax rebate on fun things so I got $300 to upgrade my computer (if I want to). I am wondering if it is worth upgrading the graphics card or anything on this...

Good web host for hobby business?

Well of course unlimited everything with shell access would be great but I could probably start with 40 or 50gig of storage and honestly I would be suprised if I got 1000 visitors per day for a good while. I am probably fine without shell access. This will be more php and databases with your...

Good places to live in Orlando?

It is funny how many people say that, though Raleigh is actually more expensive to live in. This can be seen from the simple COL index calculated by the federal government as well as simple apartment searches. My aunt is in Durham and I called her amazed at how much more expensive research...

Good places to live in Orlando?

Ok, so mid-week I posted asking Orlando vs. Raleigh, but looking further into the jobs I think the one in Orlando is really better for me. I have spent a few hours looking online and it seems the crime rate in Orlando is pretty d%$n high. :-/ Anyone here from Orlando? If so, where should we look...

Choosing a job

Trmiv, I was using city-data.com for a more detailed breakdown, though when I just checked it showed 294k for a detached house in Raleigh and 334 in Cary. It seems there is some discrepancy between sites for sure. Maybe I need to call the chamber of commerce and see if they have more accurate...

Choosing a job

Wow even Cary is listed as 104 on the col index. It just doesn't seem right. 84 housing price index in Orlando, 120 in cary nc. Does this stuff take federally subsidized housing into account or something? My parents like about 13mi from Bobby Cox in Marietta I can't believe Raleigh or Cary are...

Choosing a job

I am getting the info off of salary.com and bestplaces.net. Both of them use the government COL index. Orlando is like 94 and Raleigh is 106. I will look at Cary. Both jobs are with major defense contractors.

Choosing a job

I am looking at my job offers that I have to choose between by next week. They are located in Raleigh NC, Orlando FL and Marietta GA. I was really excited to see I was offered about 15% more in Raleigh than the other two and I thought it would be great. The offer is still good but after running...

How do I get a good job in IT?

It doesn't matter if you don't like the classes, you will like your career. The point of college is to be well-rounded and that is important to a career. If you can't pass english you will never be a network admin because you have to write and speak well. If you can't pass math you will never be...
