nope, no difference.

A small but proably not as noticeable difference. The DVD-ROM drive may have a slower read speed then your CD-ROM drive. Alot of the DVD Drives I've seen so far have slower CD read speeds then stand-alone CD Drives. But other then that small thing, no difference.

Can somebody who has the most recent edition of Firefox go to ESPN.com and see if it crashes their Firefox like it does every single time to me?

I go to ESPN a lot, and my IE doesn't even run it very well....

Jonbo298 · 02-28-2005, 01:40 PM

ESPN.com crashed for me also with FireFox with 1.0.1. Also, someone else I know that uses FF had espn.com crash on them also. I'd say send the crash report to Mozilla and report the problem to the webmaster of ESPN.com and hopefully it gets fixed soon

I also checked their help/contact us area and saw this:

WHY DOES MY BROWSER CRASH WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS ESPN.COM?
Make sure you have Flash 5.0 on your computer. To download this version, click on "Install Now" at:

I thought I had Flash 5.0 installed in FF, maybe not..

*edit*
I went ahead and installed what they mentioned just in case for some reason I didnt have the newest version but didnt help

Is there any way to check to see if I have more room in my computer for memory? Like check to see how many spots are in there without actually opening it up. Right now I have two 256 pieces. If I have two more slots available, I could just buy two more 256 pieces bringing my memory up to 1 Gig.

If I only have two slots though, I'll have to buy two 512 pieces and then my current two 256 pieces will basically be useless.

Jonbo298 · 03-19-2005, 09:47 PM

Open side of computer and check. Most modern comptuers are 3-4 slots. Get a 512 stick if you have 3 and should be fine

How do you change your internet settings so that your DSL connection is always on?

Null · 06-08-2005, 12:13 PM

Should be on all the time already.

do you have one of thoes where you have to 'log in' each time?

Yeah, I have to log in every time I turn the computer on.

But I thought it was still possible to make it always on.

Null · 06-08-2005, 01:17 PM

you can,

the way i know of and is my preference to do that, (i havnt done it in a while since my cable internet doent require i log in) involves going into the router/network hub settings, and setting up a PPPoE account on it (your login name/ password) and telling it to always connect, and then deleting all the software your ISP gave you to log in on your pc.

but if you cant do that then im sure theres other ways.

do you have a network hub? what kind if you do?

I don't think so, but I'm not sure what that is.

you got the DSL router that the dsl line goes into, (decodes the signal) and comes out as a network line.

that line would either plug directly into your computer, or go into a network hub where it would be shared with other computers in the house.

The phone line comes out of the wall and goes into a modem (I think that's what it is), then comes out as an ethernet cable, then that goes into this little box that has "netgear" written on it, then that goes into my computer.
