Hey guys...if I have a problem or a question about the computer I just ask George (aqr) Trapp... My own personal computer Guru!! ha!! and sometimes I ask other people too..you know who you are!! So let me tell you there are people here who....know stuff! hehe! It's all a matter of knowing whose brain to pick for what you need! ;D I am so tech-illiterate...my little 10 and 12 year old grandsons even have to tell me stuff! Hey...didn't I say it's all about whose brain you pick?!

Wow Dennis that took me back to 5-1/4" floppy disks!!!
That is also a great price for a terabyte hard drive!!!
Also Joel I'm not sure any operating system now can handle 8gigs of memory.
I now for sure XP can't read over 3gigs because I have 4gigs and the system is not registering it.

Hi Joel,
GB memory - When referring to memory which is also called RAM or Random Access Memory; it is a measurement of how much memory your computer has. RAM is used by your computer to be to help open programs quickly. A easy way to determine how much you might need is simply the maximum amount your computer can hold or your pocket book will allow you to purchase. :)
TB hard drive numbers - When referring to hard drive letters such as GB's or TB's these are letters describing measurements of space a hard drive has available for storage. Things you might store on your computer such as pictures, documents, videos or music, take up space on your hard drive in measurements of bits, bytes, kilobits, kilobytes, megabits and megabytes, leading up to bigger forms of such measurements as GB's-Gigabytes and TB's-Terabytes.

Windows Vista and Windows 7, 64-bit versions, can register that amount of memory (& more).
