Hmmm - the plot thickens. The Crucial RAM I got was rated at CL=3. I think I'll download that CPU util and see what it sees. Bunsen out....

The main reason is that getting it from Sager is $30 more per stick than what I paid. Plus, like I said, I have a comfort level with Crucial because of several (10 or so) past purchases from them. BTW, had I not gotten Crucial I...

It's bad math to base an opinion on a whole manufacturer based on a single sample. For instance, Honda Accords are known to be outstanding cars, but you gotta know that a few cars will slip out the door that have major problems that...

The Linksys WRT-54G is a wireless router. It has a 10/100Mbps switch with 4 ports, as well as 802.11G wireless capabilities. The original version has a Broadcom mini-PCI card, but I think I read somewhere that a recent version...

Yeah, I've gotta add my 2 bits as well.... I've only had my 5680 for about 4 months, but it's be absolutely trouble-free and fast as all-get-out (whatever that means...). I, too, was hesitant about getting what seemed to me to be a...

I just ordered one of the car adapters from PC Torque about 2 hours ago. I'm pretty sure that you'd find that nothing but a genuine Sager car adapter will work due to the nature of the connector (I've never seen that on any other...

My understanding is that heat shouldn't be an issue with new CPU speeds at the top end, within the same product family (e.g. 3.2GHz Northwood to 3.4GHz Northwood). I've read in several locations that there's no design or functional...

Someone put up a guide here on the forums (back before 802.11g was available internally) that showed how to get the mini-pci 802.11g card out of a Linksys WRT-54G router. I did that and put it into my 5680 and totally loved it. It...

Unfortunately, God, Einstein and Physics are all against you. Here's the math: Geosynchronous orbits are about 22,500 miles above the surface of the Earth. Light (and radio signals) goes 186,282 in a vacuum. It's slower going...
