How much might that 256mb cost? And umm. Why wouldn't my computer be able to take the 1 gb? Would i need to buy something so that it would be able to take it?

 

[Arwen]

No, Each computer has a max of memory that it can take... add too much will make your computer refuse to start up.

A stick of 256MB is around 60-80 dollars

 

[Kairi]

Well, is it possible if you overclock your processor and it can go on fire? I will be terrorified if it happens.

Actually, if you have a computer from Dell Gateway HP etc, you can?t overclock. You?d have to swap out the motherboard. The ones in major manufacture?s computers are built with Intel. It basically means they are stable, but can never be overclocked.

 

[Arwen]

Well, hopefully... it doesn't happen on my IBM... because it's 5 years old. o.o

They don't go on fire, they explode.

Well, Where is the best place to buy ram.. How much would 1 gb costs? or 300 mb?

I only buy corsair memory (corsairmemory.com) but Crucial's lookup feature is good for finding out how much RAM your computer can address.

The price depends on the manufacter, memory type, etc. I paid $200-300 (can't recall the exact price, I think it was $294 but I am not sure) for my two 512MB sticks.

You didn't overclock it and you can't overclock it if you wanted to so don't worry.

Where can I get Crucials?

Where can I get Crucials?

Crucial.com

Btw, I didn't recommend Crucial's memory, I recommended using thier lookup tool to find out how much RAM your PC can support.

So have any of you been to the iTunes Music Store?
I should give you all iTunes Certificates and Allowances... $5.00 for Kairi, $2 for Arwen, 99c for Shining Arcanine... just joking. But if I was in America I would...

No, I go to Walmart and only buy a couple of songs. 88 cents a song. :D Seeing 88 cent charges on my mastercard were a first. lol

 

[Kairi]

How is Wal*Mart?s selection anyways? I?m just curious. Seeing how everyone has to have a music service, next Bisquik? @_@;

 

[Shining Arcanine]

It has hundreds of thousands of songs... Only one from the pokemon cds through. ^_^;;

 

[punkie90]

I don't have any music downloaders... Don't want them....
and here .. is that good or bad? http://www.crucial.com/store/listpa...&mfr=HP&cat=RAM&model=Pavilion+310n&submit=Go

 

[Dizzy]

Kazaa is bad news so dont go near it. I have my school's File-Sharer which is perfectly legal lol ^_^, Im so Special .....

 

[Kairi]

We were talking about legal ones where you pay money for each track you receive. ^_^

 

[Dizzy]

Oh LOL, my school's is legal you dont have to pay though, its more like a briefcase than a file-sharer, Because each student gets 10mb worth of space for there Online Portfolio but you can still access your friends file on it.

 

[Shining Arcanine]

It's only 11c more...
Attached is a screenshot of the only thing that turned up when I searched for "Pok?mon" in the iTunes Music Store. I can actually preview the songs before I buy them.

Click to enlarge.

Walmart gives 30 second previews of the music in its store. I just had to get the pokemon song from the chipmunk album because of that. lol

 

[Arwen]

I buy the actual CD instead of downloading it for free. I don't have the suffificent connections to buy and download any music...

 

[Q Man]

I rarely, if ever, download music. Its everybody else in my family (especially my 3-years-older brother and my stepdad that do most of the downloading)... I just grab what interests me from them...

 

[punkie90]

Hmm, if I ver listen to music on the internet, its on msn music...

 

[Q Man]

I would never endorse Apple by doing that... Granted, I would never (wittingly) endorse Apple at all, so... :P

I pay for the things that I download.

My Apple Developer Connection Newsletter came in again.
Here's a link to an article on Apple.com's Press Release Section about the music store's popularity.

Of course Apple would say that it is popular. It is their store.
