| | | What is the best pop-up blocker available for a free download. I have been having a lot of problems with spyware pop-ups, and Spybot can't seem to handle them.

| | | Hey phil, try increasing the securities on IE. This cuts down on spyware and what not. I had it to the point where every site I went to asked if I wanted to "cookie" it or not. I was amazed when weeks went by that I had 0 new pop-ups/spy issues.

| | | Hey I got a question about memory. I was looking at some laptops and trying to customize um, I came across one that had quite a few options for RAM memory. There were two that caught my eye and I couldn't understand what the difference was between them. Can someone explain to me what the difference is between these two -
512MB DDR SDRAM 2 Dimms
512MB DDR SDRAM 1 Dimm |

| | | i think thats just the number of slots for expansion. So you can have maybe 4 slots (guess) and 512mb or ram, but that ram might be arranged as 1 512mb (taking 1 slot) or two 256 (taking up 2 slots). I don't know how many laptops have.
Dimm is just modern memory, which can be added in any order (the old design is simms, which had to be added in identical pairs, so you could have 1 8mb or 2x 8mb, but you couldn't have 1 8mb + 1 16mb for example). |

There's also different tricky things such as "DDR400" (Which is what I have) which is essentially PC3200. Bleh, ok to make it simple, the higher the PC**** DDR RAM speed is, the faster it is.
Also, motherboards will either work better or worse with different configurations. The best (as I know of) is Dual Channel DDR. Which is Slot 1 and Slot 3 for the optimal usage of speed. See if theres something of that essence in the configuration.

I also don't know what speed it is. I only know the information given. |

| | | My eMachines computer recently just died out. I was using the word processor and it blanked out and just restarted by itself out of nowhere - and when it gets to the Windows XP thing with that loading bar, it doesn't go to the desktop - it just restarts again. It does it over and over. I'm thinking it's a virus, but I don't know how I can get rid of it without having to erase everything that's already on the hard drive...hundreds of MP3's, school files, porn... |

If you do have Mcafee then PM me and I will give you the instructions, ok? | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
