Ask any surgeon which bullet is the absolute worst to operate on, and 99% of them will tell you its a .22 caliber. The bullet is so small(no weight), that when it penetrates skin, the bullet will fragment and bounce around in your insides. A 9mm and larger bullets have a much less likely possibility of that happening, they go through you creating a "hole". The 45 ACP round was designed to put you on the ground, plain and simple. Hit them in the arm, and they fall to the ground. And please don't sit there and say that a 9mm is sufficient for defense. A 9mm does not have enough knock down power for about 30% of males. I worked as a gun salesman for 3 years, and out of all the policeman and women I have talked to, 55% use 40 caliber, 40% 45 ACP( the 45 GAP is a horrible round, Glock really F***ed up there) and the other 5% is 9mm. And if you had to choose, all Semi-autos should be removed from society IF you had to choose. Which is safer, a semi-auto that can hold upwards of 20rds in a clip(10 rd limit in certain states IE California), or a revolver that can shoot around 6(some only shoot 5). The entire point of the Desert Eagle 44Mag and 50Cal was for the military, 1 shot 1 kill (supposedly goes through bullet proof armor, with right tip). The Israelis are currently manufacturing it, and it is still one of the best pistols to use in military means. TAURUS recently made a revolver that can shoot a shotgun round out of it ( http://www.gunblast.com/Taurus-Judge.htm ) it can shoot .45s or 410 gu, you can also mix/match them if you want(IE 3 410's and 2 .45's). People claim this is a less bulky, just as effective way of self protection in your home. I don't know where you guys live, but in Oklahoma USA, there is a law called MAKE MY DAY. Roughly means that you can gun down anybody anywhere if they have the means to threaten your life. They recently passed another law that patched up the loop-hole that could get you convicted for murder. There is another law that permits the use of DEADLY force if an intruder is inside your house. If a thief breaks in, you can shoot him and walk away clean from the cops, IF he is INSIDE your house. You guys might think differently, but if there is a stranger in my house, im not going to wait and see if he is just going to steal my stuff peacefully and leave. Im going to shoot him and then call the cops. What if he is there to R**E my wife or kids? You just going to let him because you have no means to stop him? Have some common sense. The reason crime is high is because of poverty, I know first-hand what that can do. You bring in poor Mexicans, and they group up(GANG) to help survive by whatever means, but by them GANGin up, the Blacks do it, and the Whites, and every other Race out there. Take away poverty, take away crime.(sounds like Socialism doesn't it?) Foreign countries DO NOT allow gun ownership, in fact most foreigners(Japan, Germany, China) have never even held a handgun, much less seen one thats not in police hands. Let me ask you this. With the state of the world today, and the USA military spread out so thin because of multiple fronts and enemies, would you want the ENTIRE country defenseless if an enemy landed on our shores tomorrow? Take away guns from experienced hunters, ex cops, ex- military, and you take away the possibility of a militia. Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it can't happen, so don't even try to bring up that defense. If you teach a child at a young age(every adult gun-owner I know started at age 7) and show them how deadly they can be, show them the correct way to use it, and the correct manner in which it is ALLOWED to be used, and you take away the ACCIDENTAL shootings that everybody is so scared of. If your child burns their hand on a hot stove-top, think they will do it again? If they can see the damage a pistol or rifle can do, and are able to be around it all the time, you take the curiosity out of it. Curiosity is what killed the cat? Shotguns are self-defense guns, thats what they were designed for. The military especially loves them because it can hit multiple targets in an enclosed space, which in turn can save our military lives. Guns might actually be the "weapon" that kills you, but its because of Human judgement that leads to a "weapon" being used.

Under "Network Adaptors" is where both of mine are located. If you right click them, select update drivers. I'll try to find updates that match what you are looking for, give me a little while, playin Halo 3. http://www.acerpanam.com/flex/acer/bin/ ... tedIndex=1 and find the model you need.

You might see a small improvement just because Xp uses less RAM just to operate, but if you already have more than 2 gig the difference will probably be miniscule. It is always worth having dual-boot if you can.

Go to your hardware manager, windows calls it device manager, but it lists all your hardware, so whatev. Go there and make sure that the ethernet port is enabled. If it is, make sure that you only have 1 enabled. Sometimes motherboards have one built in, and if you buy an adaptor, they can sometimes conflict causing problems. If they are both active, I would choose the better of the two(most of the time its the adaptor bought seperately). If that doesn't work, try to install the updates again, but let the installation choose the default installation destination instead of choosing it manually. Do the same for wireless, but if you are going to use both on a computer, you are going to have to choose one. The post I left when I thought you were using a laptop still applies. If you have the wireless connection and wired connection on at the same time, your computer can get confused and not recognize either one, but from the sound of it, your not at that step yet. And if you can't find the drivers, or the drivers dont make it work, go back to your hardware manager and right click your ethernet adaptor and select update drivers. Somehow you have to be connected to the internet, but from your posts, it sounds like you already can be if you want to.

Make sure your laptop is plugged into the wall. Most laptops auto disable the built in ethernet ports to save battery life. If the battery is plugged in, make sure you disable your wireless connection(either using the switch) or going into Network Connections( Start, Control Panel, Network connections), and while you are there, also make sure that the ethernet connection is Enabled. Even using a pirated copy, You can get the updates to your laptop using a backdoor, if I'm not mistaken. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you manually go in and save a copy of every update to a formatted external harddrive, plug it in to the laptop, and then just resave it on laptop?

This is going to sound really stupid, but my computer sometimes does that. I end up just taking out my cd out of the drive and restart comp. My motherboard was bought when it was in beta testing and manu says its one of the glitches wit the bios for me.

If you can scrape together the extra cost I highly recommend going to apple. I have had misfortune with Zune(warranty) and apple has come through no questions asked.

The smartest thing to do is to make sure that the website is www.runescape.com with no added letters, numbers, symbols, and especially beware if it is something very similar. If it is that, email Jagex and let them know. They will try to take care of it.

Both of them have gotten horrible reviews from my co-workers and friends.

I am currently using video editing, and am an avid high-end gamer. The comp I have now won't play FarCry, and that was strike 3. My computer is also the center of a download/transfer net for my buddies and I. I will also begin to have to run 2-3 different games at the same time on different screens to compare/constrast them. I was looking for something that could qualify for that. I also chose the 950W because of the extra lee-way I would have if I were to need to expand my options.

Wow, I didn't know that it had so many restrictions. Thank you for the heads up LP, I think I might end up picking the Processor and RAM you picked, I read up on the Processor and speedwise can be better than the one I picked with a little overclocking, and the price break will pay for the difference for the RAM.

The first chips being released are quad-core desktop models, the 920, 940, and 965 Extreme. Clock speeds are 2.66 GHz, 2.93 GHz, and 3.2 GHz, respectively, and prices in batches of 1,000 are $284, $562, and $999. Those are the prices they told the reports a couple weeks ago. If you go to wikepedia, they give details on the performance tests

I've been wanting to replace this current computer of mine and buy new parts to build my next one. I should easily get $500 USD for this one(probably more, but I want quick sell).

I haven't picked out any fans or a heatsink, and the tower will most likely have to a be a full but I haven't found one that isn't fragile in any area. What do you guys think of the selection? Appreciate the help.

I was wanting it to be able to be a gaming laptop. I'm not home enough to make use of my gaming desktop. Seems like a waste of money now.

I've been looking to purchase a new laptop as of late, but I can't find one that is close to what I want without being outrageously overpriced, or getting bad reviews. The only choice that I've found that I like is the Sony Vaio. http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/sto ... 1665519347 I was going to add the 2 gigs extra ram(to make it 4)($100), make the storage 250 gigs(7200rpm)($100) , replace the video card ($100), Which made it $1199. Is it a good choice? And if it is worth it, will you please go to the link and suggest if I should pay more for the better processor. I'd appreciate any and all help you are willing to give me.
