I have decided to upgrade the memory on another one of my computers this weekend. This time I went with Dell Memory rather than a super-saver or off-brand manufacturer.

I got the memory at a great price and so far it seems to be performing great. I’m actually considering putting the same type of memory in my other computers.

Check out www.MemoryStore.com if youre thinking about upgrading your own computer memory. They have great customer support if youre not sure of which type to buy. You can search for your computer model by maker, such as Gateway, Dell, eMachines, ect., to determine which memory will work in your particular computer.

Sorry for the lack of posts, Ive had some computer problems with my main computer for the past couple of days and the parts I ordered to fix it just arrived today.

Last night I setup a network between my 3 home computers with some leftover network cables from my office. They just redid our whole computer network and then let me take what was left over from the job. The cables came in very handy and saved me a few bucks at the same time! I believe they purchased the cables through CableMegaStore.com.

I still have plenty leftover, though. I bet I ended up with over 500 feet worth of cables. Not bad considering my computers are all within 10 feet of eachother. I guess I’ll keep the extra for a rainy day.

Microsoft released the new XBox 360 “Elite” the other day. People stood in line all night just to get this new special edition version of the popular gaming console. It features a larger 120 gigabyte hard drive and true hdmi cable. Also, the case of the console and controller are black, rather than the regular white/silver color.

Standing in line for something like this seems like a big waste of time and money to me, but I guess some people love it.

One of my computer hard drives went out about a week ago. I had only been using it for a couple of months. Thats the last time I buy Maxtor. Ive had 3 of their hard drives go out in very short time. My Western Digital drives are still going strong, even the ones from 3 years ago. I just put in a Western Digital 300gb SATA-II drive to replace the one that crashed.

The lesson here: Don’t buy Maxtor. Ever.
