iron2000 Posted April 29, 2003 Share Posted April 29, 2003 Mine's a HP Pavilion 780d. Satisfied with it now but I would want it to be better. (But it is a HP!! What can I do! Regret my laziness?) I'm more of a software guy, hardware is too hard for me. (I thought ram is fragile but their not.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get into building PC for profit.... :D Man, a job building PCs would be so much fun... Just tried speeding up my ram timings. Down to 2-2-2-5 now, no stability problems to note and still at spec voltage there :) Oh, and Samoa, in your sig should that read 896mb ram and not 986? (512 + 256 + 128 would be 896, but that's more or less a guess...) -Krage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krage Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Its true, I really have that stuff. I'll post some shots when I get home.

I have been helping friends with PC problems/upgrades. I have a new (to me) laptop, 512mb PC2700, and five bucks to show for it. I did get some other money but that is the most recent. This notebook is the best though...I've wanted one but didn't want to spend the money. :D [EDIT] I am changing my sig ....thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
