I know, I've never used a Compaq that worked. They make eMachines look good. (of course, I get what I pay for, and this was the cheapest computer I found.) My first computer (not sharing with my parents') was a Compaq and there are still some at school, which I avoid. I will even wait to use one of the non-Compaq machines or come back later. |

Posted by RankoThat explains everything... Also, Dell laptops are only good for one thing. Namely, grenades! ____________________ I dealt with it. |

You useless pieces of...
You really ought to take a look at some HP/Compaqs out on the market these days. If you were talking like it was '01, I'd agree. |

All the Compaqs I mentioned were pre-HP. My dad has a post-merger HP laptop which works pretty well... |

Like I said, their Compaq is actually rather recent, but that doesn't mean it sucks any less  ____________________ I dealt with it. |

The only thing I've really begun to hate about anything are some of the miniTowers that we sell at RS. Sure they have good specs and are at a -very- reasonable price for the tower, mouse and keyboard (250GB Hard, 1.0GB RAM, AMD 3600+) but they have no possible way of expansion unless they have SMAAAAAALL PCI slots. One Acer that retails for 500 dollars doesn't even -have- slots. |

It sounds like the RS there is a lot more advanced than the ones here, which generally only stock equipment (cords, etc) or small-stuff like speakers/monitors, and rarely an actual PC tower. ____________________ I dealt with it. |

Oh, you're about right. I've had to bitch and complain to get laptops, PC, hard drives and [gasp] sticks of -512MB- RAM in my store. We had gig strips at a time but those Kingstons are on recall due to shorting easily. It's really a matter of the associates there enquiring to get it from the stores or the Fort Worth office.
Guess how much bitching I usually do daily? |

Mines an HP Laptop 2020. I won it in a contest last summer because I spent 10 hours a day filling out contest forms and shoving them into the contest box. |

Wait...
2 GB DDR off a mobo that runs a 1GHz comp? What kind of PC-ratings are on those strips? Hell I can't even -find- PC-100 strips without having to put it on special order and even then they're pricey as hell and run way slower than today's strips. |

Posted by Ranko My Athlon XP used PC2700. It's not *that* old. PC100, on the other hand, died with the Pentium IIs and K6-3s... ____________________ [citation needed] |

Posted by BMF54123 Uhm...I've got a Pentium III 1.0GHz and it can go no higher than PC-100 on the mobo. Seriously, PC-133 (which is really the only thing that would fit it) makes the thing Page Fault or Registry Error otherwise. |
