Circuit city warranty
When I bought my extended warranty, they said everything except the battery was cover. Now there is a crack in the laptop case which is spreading and there help line says that it is cosmetic and not cover. Is this normal? Can I do anything about his?

Max Presario 5660 Memory by
lwags
Well, it wasn't 3x256. Looks like the 3x128 or 384 is the max. Bought 3
256 sticks and no luck. I think I have the latest BIOS, but have you ever
tried to find an update? Impossible.
$280 down the drain unless I can return.
