Speed up on a budget
Jan 12th
So you are reading this article wondering what its gonna be about? Well I am cheap, its January and everybody is broke. Oh yeah and the economy sucks. Supposibly the companies thought that people would stop buying computer parts so they slowed down production, which made some parts prices skyrocket. Example: I have bought 2x2gigs 667MHz laptop ram for 35 bucks shipped, regular price about 2 years ago. Now, it is insanely twice the price, seriously OMG???? Talk about custom built computer getting more expensive by a gig.
Even though the ram is expensive, it is still the easiest hardware and most efficient upgrade out there. You have no idea what ram you have in your PC or Laptop, do you? Well, sometimes neither do I, and it is annoying to open case or laptop to not be sure afterwards anyway. Wouldn’t you like some software/tool that would find that out for you? Yes, there is one! Thanks to crucial, ram manufacturer, you do not have to worry about it anymore. Go to their website, surprise it is crucial.com and then click on the crucial system scanner tool, it will take you to another site. Make sure that you click on the box to agree with stuff and then download the scanner tool or just click run. Either way it will scan your system and tell you what you need and of course try to sell you their ram. You can buy their ram, great company, I have used their ram numerous times myself. Or….. you can check to see the specs of the ram ie. Pc2 5300 etc. to see what you need exactly. They will also tell you what is the maxium amount of ram your motherboard will accept. Since ram is expensive I suggest upgrading as follows: If you have 256 or 512 get a stick of 1GB which should be around 40 bucks tops. FYI the performance boost it will give will be like a night and day (promised). If you have 1Gb and you have Vista or Win7 get a pair of 2x1GB sticks of ram or if wallet permits and motherboard too, get 2x2GB. You ask where at, right? Well I have been very happy customer of newegg.com for years. However, I don’t stick to one name, for me the price is the final verdict, and if you live in NJ, CA and I think TN you will have to pay tax and it might make your deal worse than going to a local shop (doubt it though). There is another website that tracks prices of ram, here is their link http://dealnews.com/memory/
So I hope that this has helped you, BUT BE CAREFUL WITH STATIC ELECTRICITY because it can kill your ram in split second.
SpyBot s&d howto and why
Nov 24th
SpyBot is like one of my most favorite spyware programs out there. Its free, which is important, but mostly it really works. Sadly, there are some people who seem to have the need to pay for these programs, yet it is unnecessary. Therefore, spybot is very good addition for curing your sick PC.
Easy as pie to install and even easier to use.

How many times have you gone to Wal-Mart or best buy (not a good buy) and did not know what to buy?
I had done it many times; however, not in the computer and networking isle. Prices are too high and nowadays even with Linksys, which is not worth the money anymore, the quality is dissatisfying. Their wrt54g and other variations were rock solid routers, I loved them. More >

So you caught bug(s)
Many of us rely on one software to clean, guard, protect, and a lot more. I used to use one, thinking that was sufficient, but it was not. When I get an infected computer, and it has possibility to be repaired I use series of programs. First I connect the hard drive to my computer, make sure, if you do this, your antivirus is updated. Then I do series of scans, and if they pass I move on to another stage, which is to boot up the infected computer and scan it while the system is running. More >
