whats better a dual processor or 1 quad core processor ?

For now.....1 dual....because for the price of 1 quad you can buy 5 duals...in case you should cook the other 4....prices will come down in time.....

Haha, everyone of the age should vote.

I'm thinkin they should have all walking age children go to the voting booths with their parents and fill out candy ballots...they way they get into the habit of voting...

Just an interesting e-mail I received. 

:haha:

DC is one of the most dangerous cities in America per crime statistics....

Im underage 

That's no excuse!!!!! :cheesy:

going from 1GB to 4GB of ram, isn't going to make a difference in your internet download speed.

Thats really good already for att 6Mbps, you will probably top out at around 5.5-5.7Mbps.

Not entirely true.  Depending on processor speed and what he has loaded, the amount of available ram will have a substantial effect on browser performance.  The speed tests utilized here and everywhere else are still dependant on actual system performance capabilities and system ram plays a key roll as to overall system performance.  The bottom line is that 1gb is okay...but 2 is better for all aspects of using windows....the less windows has to swap to hd the better.....regardless of what app you use.

I'm duplicating this from another post I made...because it really belongs here....

911 changed everything for all of us worldwide, the planet human situation as we knew it is no longer exists whether we like it or not.  The cancer that is fueling the terrorism fire is one that must be met with radical treatment...not holistic medicine and this means that we all have to make some sacrifices for at least the short term if we have any hope of a cure.

Any weakness or failure in the erradication of this cancer could very well result the destruction of society as we know it.  These terrorist organizations don't care who they kill nor do they care if they die themselves...death is not feared...it's hoped for....and they will utilize every weapon, every able body and every ounce of technology that they can lay their hands on to further their cause and there are those out there who will sell or give it to them.  We must utilize every law, tool and ounce of technology at our disposal to combat them and if that means we have to give up a little freedom in the process to preserve our nation and our world then I am all for it.  Its not all about the one....its about all of us....worldwide and it's about time that Americans understand we are but ONE nation on this planet amongst many and each of us has to give a little to protect the whole....we still remain and always will be the definition of freedom for the worlds people and if we work together nothing will change that...certainly not the Patriot Act I or II.

I voted...now I'm in mourning.....

Load webpages faster?? ne suggestions would be apperciated

Well lets begin with what type of webpages.....give examples of slow browsing...what type of internet connection you have...some speed tests from here would be nice as well.....and disregard Tommies spelling...he borrowed Sparticus's spell checker.....unfortunately it only has a dictionary of about 15 words...... :2funny:

I'm gonna go hide now....

You can remote desktop into a Pro machine, while you can only RDP FROM a Home Machine.  Pro also has a built-in client access license, than can be used to remote desktop in Windows Server 2000, or 2003, without any additional terminal server licenses.  Pro has more administrative features, such as the ability to join a domain, while home cannot.  XP Professional can also be deployed using Ghost images (ghostmaster baby), to the corporate network, without having to "activate" windows on each machine.  With our version, we don't have to activate it at all. 

Yea...what he said......

Okay....for someone just wanting to surf the net and do really basic stuff...this is not a bad deal....

I am a mac hater....don't mistake my intentions for a moment...but for someone who needs some basic things with little or no hassle this is a fine option for them and cheap too!

Well I could not let a triple get away. Those are rare rascals. Seldom seen in the light of day.  And worth a 100 test my bucks reward.  :wink2:I would guess that is where they actually get their profit. You know like a bank makes a little on the interest, but they clean up on bounced checks and such. $$$. I would be learning how to fix it for sure.

Whats funny is I was responding to you so fast I had like 5 windows open and somehow duplicated them.....needless to say it was 101% rookie. 

lol nvm someone already said triple posted =/ 

Oh yes...Tommie did not let me slide one inch on that one....

I would stay away from any mac for 99 bucks. they are all going to run OS 9 or lower. and you dont want to deal with that.

I would stay away from any mac that is intel based.

Some come with 10 some with 9 and none are intel based....

In a way that is really a good deal. 

Take for instance my mother-in-law. She has never operated a comp in her life, and over 63. Now she only wants it to e-mail back here when she is out of town.and check on her accounts. She is also a tight wad, which is besides the point. But say she had little $$ and needed it for really simple things. Why spend lots of $$. When these will serve the same purpose for less.  I may refer her there. 

Thanks ratchet.

And it beats the HELL out of Blue Hippo for folks on a budget. 

You can get a real nice mac for $99.00 that will do the same thing...and be far less trouble for her.... (geeks.com)

I did....and will tell you my results...if the Saint Petersburg Times wanted you to vote for it....I voted against it....that should pretty much tell ....THE REST OF THE STORY....

How do I get RM files to play?

Use real media player...

Welcome to the forum ddeviltlc

I'll take that FIOS if you are tired of it. I'll even throw in my satelite connection. 500/50. No charge. 

And by the way Sparticus013 ISPgeek did a

Okay Okay....I tripple posted once...but I didn't inhale!!!

You guys, you guys. Simma' down now.

He's making fun of my system restore I had to do after my last flirtation with IE 7.  Evil...I tell you he is EEEVIL!

Actually a good shopper can get better deals on P IV laptops at places like geek.com or newegg.com.  The prices above are considerably higher than market value for those devices.

Tell me that QVC did not have porn on their Dell.....please tell me it aint so....on live tv?  NOW THAT'S FUNNY! :2funny:

Maybe there is really something to that 17 virgins thing that those jihadists are always going for......

Or is it 23?  I mean really...after that many....how can you keep track?

OK now that all the problems have left the building for the night. And you have single, double, and triple posted. (I think that was your biggest  ) Just like Wendy's.

I think I will retire before my sides bust with laughter. And don't you touch my spell check. 

Me too man....if you only knew what happened today....Just imagine all the technology in your office internally and externally failing sequentially during the entire day....now you know how my day went....

Might I add....all courtesy of Verizon!!!!!!!  "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOOOOOOOOWWWWW?"

Hey but Dells come with their own do it yourself jihad kits and exploding battery IED's (with geniune jihadist live technical support)...so there...neaner neaner neaner....

Seriously though....follow Tommie....he will get you through it...even if he has to use Sparticus's spell check.....

 

Well at least it is not as bad as reformatting.  

Much less pain. *ouch* now who just stuck me?   Kidding.

Oh that hurts.....that really really hurts....ya just had to go there didnt ya.....

In that case then  :knuppel2: :knuppel2: take some buddies on a little trip to the main office. And negotiate. 

Heh...ever tried to find your actual Verizon office?  When ya do they are like the pentagon....all walls, no visible doors and when ya do find a door its like 3 feet thick....what does that tell ya?
