RAM Upgrade Advice in Desktops ·
I dropped that link in for you—it’s 1.5V RAM, so whether it actually works... honestly, who knows? It should probably run fine if you dial back the clock speed a bit. You're working with a motherboard that has some pretty bizarre RAM specs, though—the kind of stuff you just can't find sitting on a shelf at Best Buy anymore.

You'll likely need something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ram-memory-listing-example

Look, you should probably jump into the BIOS and try setting the memory clock down to 400 MHz—since you're running a lower clock speed, it shouldn't be demanding quite so much voltage, so there's a chance it might actually stabilize. Your motherboard supports 1066 MHz, but you went out and grabbed 1600 MHz, plus your voltage settings are totally off. Honestly, just try to swap it out for a different stick. If that doesn't do the trick, you could always try this one—it'll run fine at 1.5V: http://diskont24.com/product.php?pro...cat=379&page=1
Gaming PC build - around $1,200 budget in Desktops ·
People don't shop using debit cards—they use credit—so seriously, screw Google. 😁
Used PC builds: What are they worth? in Desktops ·
It’s a bit presumptuous of me to start throwing numbers around—honestly, if I had a bucket full of those sockets and my own motherboard was currently fried, I’d probably cough up $167 for one right now. But the real kicker is whether you can actually find someone who actually *needs* a board like that. Most people aren't looking for SLI these days, so they're probably hunting for something way cheaper. There are just too many "ifs" involved here to pin down a solid price.
Logitech K120 keyboard in Computer Peripherals ·
Maybe take a second to actually read through some reviews—since this keyboard is pretty much brand new, you aren't going to find many people jumping in here to share their personal takes: https://www.google.com/search?q=Logitech+K120

If you want a decent, deep-dive review, check this one out: http://www.hitechlegion.com/reviews/...owall=&start=3

As for the Backspace key—it's identical. Localization doesn't change that.
Best speech-to-text apps? in Software ·
jadegardener53 said:Look, if you don't know the answer, there's no need to be so condescending—honestly. I found a cracked version of the software anyway, so whatever, I still don't get why the response had to be so rude. I have every right to ask what I want; it's not against the law.

Actually, yeah, it is against the rules to hunt for pirate software links—you could've probably taken a quick second to read those few lines in the community guidelines.
Best speech-to-text apps? in Software ·
Nah, it doesn't support American English—well, actually, it doesn't support the language you're looking for at all. Look, if the software has a price tag, don't go asking where you can download it for free. It’s just common sense, really.

And honestly? I doubt a version like that even exists, mostly because the US market is so massive that developers usually prioritize much larger demographics first.

Man, you're being stubborn as hell. 😁

Maybe Samsung is one of the last ones still churning out LS drives—but honestly, it’s a total technological dead end. You're basically just diving headfirst into a ditch.
Winamp in Software ·
Look, once you've gone and planted those damn weeds in the first place... I’m going to keep using it until the day I die. 😁

Just grab two 1 GB sticks of DDR 400, and let that little guy deal with the rest.
Best external hard drives to buy right now? in Computer Peripherals ·
You can grab a Western Digital drive with a solid 3-year warranty and some pretty reliable hardware here:

Honestly—I wouldn't touch WD with a ten-foot pole. Just go for the longer warranty.
Here’s a guide on how to actually run multiple Microsoft Office suites at once—it looks like your installation went a bit sideways. Just follow the steps laid out in this doc: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928091

And seriously, stop hunting for links to pirated software unless you want a ban—it's not worth it. It would be nice if you actually took a second to read the forum rules before jumping in here.

Cca 800-$300.
Adobe Creative Cloud in Software ·
I’ve rounded up all the trial versions here for you to grab—just a heads-up, ignore any annoying prompts asking for a serial number during the install process, because you definitely don't need one: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/p...downloads.html
Low-speed burner 1x 2x in Hardware ·
I honestly don't think there are even any media outlets left that would advocate for those snail-paced speeds—it’s just not a thing anymore. Just because you go into some software settings and toggle a "low speed" option doesn't mean the drive is actually going to sit there and crawl at that rate. These optical drives are smart enough to detect the actual write speeds encoded right into the disc itself. Plus, let's be real, manufacturing tech for both the media and the drives has come a long way—you can crank up those higher speeds without the whole thing falling apart.

You've got a pretty decent motherboard there—solid stuff—and honestly, that processor should handle 3 GHz at stock voltage without breaking a sweat (running at 12x250)—you just need to swap in a better cooler to keep things from getting too crazy:

Roughly $400, but hey, you can definitely repurpose all those parts for a future build when you finally decide to upgrade.
