computer geeks needed

Have an e-machines desktop T3306 , want to add memory having issues w/ iTunes and multiple programs running at the same time. WTF do I need?

 

Walmart is selling an Acer laptop for $350 right now that is a perfectly good computer. Go buy one, upgrade it to 2GB of ram at Best Buy, adn throw your eMachine out the window of your truck.

 

Werd!!!

 

Where? They had an Acer at CompUSA last weekend for $300 after rebates (probably the same model). I was going to pick one up for my daughter, but they sold out Friday at noon. I didn't get there until just before they opened on Saturday.

 

Remember if you get a new computer that Vista needs 2 MBs of RAM, so take Mr. DDTs advice.

 

Wow, thats memory efficient!

 

I'm not sure 2Mb will do it...I'd go to 2 Gb

 

Wal Mart...it's a large discount department store chain...?

 

Sorry I should have been more clear. I saw the Walmart part, but the cheapest Acer they have on their website is $488. I was wondering if it was a local deal.

 

get a mac......go onto emachines web site and find out how much and what type of memory you need

 

PC3200 DIMMS, your system can take a max of 2.

 

Dave it's my desktop, not due for upgrade until after June of next year. Need laptop first.

Speaking of laptops, I'm looking for a killer deal on hp laptop.

 

Gracias!:up:

 

Except I don't care if it is HP or not. Main use will be word processing (probably open office) and net stuff. It's for my daughter so I don't care if it is blazing fast.

 

LOL. Yes, you are correct, sir.

 

i think what dave is saying is that you are about to go down the road i just did - throwing money at something that just isnt that good. by the time i bought a wireless adaptor, new hd, and upgraded the ramm, and a web cam... well i could have gotten that nice new laptop, but instead i still have a 6 yr old compaq that is now starting to have other issues...

 

I'm just patching the memory issue, no other issues. And I prefer hp laptops because that is all I own and when someone breaks or looses power adapters etc. I have spares.right now I have 3 working laptops and a parts machine

 

Depending on the number of slots you have you may be able to just add more ram. Open the case and see if all the slots are full. If they are, just replace them with higher memory cards. You will have to run a search to find out what type of motherboard yoiu have and what type of ram it supports.
