Rip-off artists by
aether
That sums up the entire industry. The prices aren't coming down. The
prices have remained the same for the past six months. They pay cheap
laborers in Asia a few cents an hour to manufacture this hardware, and
then turn around and make a 1000% profit. I'd love to see this turned
on them. (e.g. mass...

Questions about DDR RAM by
Igor
I'm planning to add some memory to a PC. The motherboard supports "DDR up
to 333 MHz (enhanced) memory bus."
333 MHz (PC2700) or slower DDR SDRAM isn't easy to find on today's market,
and when you do find it, it's considerably more expensive than the DDR
which runs at 400 MHz (PC3200). What...

Why is SP2 so big? It doesn't do much by
Mixxy
Serious question - why is SP2 so big?
It's about (80 to 100 MB for users fully up to date with XP patches and is
200 plus MB for those who haven't been applying patches.
Let's say it is a average minimum of 90 MB. That is very big. Why is it so
large?

Why are mainboard boxes already opened? by

Considering the fact a mainboard is a very complex part of a
