Rct3man777 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I was gonna add RAM to my computer but when it arrived I realised I accidentaly ordered DDR2 instead of DDR1...And DDR1 is so expensive... What should I do with the DDR2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderLock Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 DDR1 is mad expensive because its no longer produced, any stock you see are the last sticks ever. Anyways, I've tried Windows 7 RC1. Its pretty good. I used a virtual machine to use it, so I didn't really try too many insane things. Anyway, my 1-year-old computer's parts: Q6600 @ 2.4Ghz/2GB G.Skill DDR2 800/XFX 680i SLI/EVGA 8800GT Superclocked/Ultra X-Finity 600W PSU/Logisys Area 51 Case/WD 7200RPM 320GB/Vista 32-Bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I also like the window previews down in the start bar so I can see which window I want to switch to. It's also nice not to get the 50 million security popups just to install a program like Vista had! Terry What most people don't know is that you can actually turn those annoying security message off. It was probably the first thing I did when I got my First Vista PC after the first week. Vista also has the thum previews in the task bar. See pic. I'm getting ready to have a new one built, and your mentioning of Windows 7 just changed everything. previews of windows on task bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrancew_hod Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ^On Windows 7, the icons are grouped to the left of the applications so when you hover your mouse over the application it shows previews of each window dealing with that application. So if you move your mouse over the icon of Internet Explorer it will show previews of all the browser windows you have; then after a a seconds it will fade out any other windows and show that window you have highlighted. Also it wasn't recommended that you turn off the UAC unless you were an advanced user. So you were faced with either turning it off and raising the chance a virus or spyware would get on your machine or leave it on and get annoyed so much you accidently let a virus or spyware on your system since you were just pressing all those popups just to get rid of them and not paying attention. Now when I install a program I think I got two popups at the most. Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to some pretty seedy sites, and it always has caught everything. But then again, I've been at this since I was 12. GOD I AM GETTING OLD!

terrancew_hod Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 As for UAC, Running Avast and Windows Defender covers you. And that defeats the purpose of UAC... not much of a "feature", huh? I go to some pretty seedy sites, and it always has caught everything. But then again, I've been at this since I was 12. That's why I got all my friends on Apple computers. They were calling every week about their computers because of where they went (and kept going even after I fixed their machines). So after I stopped supporting them and they bought a Mac, I stopped getting calls. That made me happy 'cause those fools kept taking up my weekends with that mess. GOD I AM GETTING OLD! So am I.
