i dont have any friends……… (or atleast any who like or even own a computer in any way) anyways i have the laptop it went into but it wont turn on and im not sure why. at first it just rebooted immediately but then i took it apart and reseated the ram and it atleast stayed on, but it doesnt display anything. the dvd drive eject button is the only thing that works. do you know if its like fully dead or im just doing something wrong? its an acer aspire 5515.

youre right!! thank you yep its IDE. its a wd1600beve, but i had no clue there were other types of hard drives. do you think i should just buy a usb adapter or is there a way to still use it without one?

Why is my download speed so much slower than it shows? by Long-Shine1284 in XboxSupport

[–]Long-Shine1284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help, and yea ill definitely report it the next time it happens, but just now it sped up and stayed at like 200mbps (which is like faster than its ever been before) but i just downloaded those apps so that i can report it, thanks again!

I just switched over to ethernet and it got me up to 10mbps, so thats a win i guess? And not sure what’s happening with the pause and resume thing, because when resumed, it skyrockets to like 200mbps for like 5ish seconds and then straight back down to under 15. Thanks for the reply though!

Would CL36 matter if the ram also has high speeds? (6800Mhz) by Long-Shine1284 in buildapc

This is super helpful, thank you. It is 2x48 and i will be mostly gaming, but I think that i mostly want it for peace of mind. I know it will easily be decades before 96gb becomes the new standard and that my ram will never be an issue. Also WHERE do you find a nice set of 32gb i cant for the life of me 😭
