Aquaquest is a beautiful addition to the Vancouver Aquarium that was conceived as an education center to teach the surrounding Canadian community the importance of eco-friendly living. True to its nature, the complex demonstrates these principles through an impressive set of sustainable building strategies including a leafy green wall, rainwater harvesting, and a highly efficient heating and cooling system.
Aquaquest was constructed as an addition to the Vancouver Aquarium located inside Stanley Park in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Designed by the global design firm Stantec, the Center includes over 52,000-square-feet of office space, gallery and exhibition areas, as well as classrooms and supplementary spaces for the existing facilities.
One of the greenest additions to the complex is the Center's 10-foot-by-50-foot living wall, the first of its kind in North America, designed by Vancouver-based landscape architecture firm Sharp & Diamond. The leafy green wall also incorporates Vancouver's first rainwater harvesting and reuse system. The wall is composed of over 7,000 native plant species to the region including fern, bleedingheart, huckleberry, and wintergreen. The installation is complemented by 75-square-feet green roof planters made up of three trees and various groundcover plants that help reduce soil erosion.
The building was recently LEED Gold certified, and some of the building's other eco-friendly features include: low-flush toilets, and an efficient system of pipes that heat and cool the building.

House Republican Slams Obama Corporate Tax Plan
Rep. Phil Roe (R, Tenn.) joins the News Hub to explain why he can't get behind President Obama's new offer to Republicans for an overhaul of the corporate-tax system in exchange for a guarantee that a resulting one-time windfall be used to underwrite job creation.

Okay, so I want to upgrade the RAM in my laptop system. Sadly, when it comes to hardware, I am illiterate. I've found a RAM stick that I want to add and I'm wondering if it would be compatible with my laptop. My specs are below:
Windows Vista 32bit (Will Install Windows 7 64bit after upgrade)
Memory Type: DDR2 (PC2-6400)
Slot A: 1GB
Slot B: 2 GB
I'm going to replace the 1GB stick with a 2GB Crucial stick.
Memory Type: DDR2 (PC2-6400)
Also, I want to upgrade the hard drive in my system. What information will I need to know in order to know if the hard drive will be compatible. Most laptop systems allow for hard drive upgrade, right?
Here's the link to the hard drive I want to buy:
Thanks for your help! ^^
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)

So I'm trying to upgrade my Laptop specifically just the processor and my Graphics Card. But I have some questions. I'll post my system specs first.
Alienware M11x R2
Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit OS)
Intel(R) Core i5 CPU @ 1.07 GHz
4.00 GB RAM (3.80 Usable)
Intel HD Graphics with Optimus Technology nVidia GeForce 335m
My main questions are about the bolded. I feel like my RAM is sufficient enough for most easy gaming (specifically D3) and I know my computer will be able to run it even with what I have now. But I feel like I will have to run at at low settings. Which isn't terrible, I would just like to run it a little faster. Anyways, the questions I have are..
1. What would be compatible with my computer. I have searched quite a bit, but I just do not trust myself with making the end decision.
2. Would it even be worth it to upgrade if I plan on getting a new computer at the start of next year?
3. If I do upgrade my Graphics Card is that somehow going to interfere with the Optimus Technology? I've read a lot about how it is very touchy and minor things can make it stop working.
If someone could help me out with those I'd greatly appreciate it.
Any upgrades will generate more heat with no way to dissipate it. The only place you will find definitive answers to your questions is from Dell. Laptops are custom designed and built by the OEM. The parts (other than RAM and hard drive) are not easily, if at all, interchangeable. At best, you may be able to pick from a couple of graphics cards assuming yours is removable and more powerful ones are available for that board, BIOS, and power supply.
In my opinion, skip it. You'll have to strip the entire thing apart and put it back together without missing a single screw, snap, cable, etc. If it all works, it will generate more heat and could lead to serious problems. You might eek out some performance increase, but it's a big risk.
And it may not even be possible at all.
Hi all,
I have a MSI GT70 2QD with specs:
Windows 10
Intel HM87
DDR3L,up to 1600 MHz, slot *4, max 32GB
17" HD (1920X1080) , Anti-glare
GeForce GTX 970M
Graphics VRAM
Up to 768GB- Super Raid 2 (3x256GB mSATA SSD,Raid 0) + 1TB HDD 7200rpm
I feel my laptop is lacking lately and I have done a bit of research for replacing the CPU to a i7-4910MQ. But several people told me it's not the cpu that's lacking and advised me an SSD or a new GPU.
So at this point I don't know what to believe and could really use some help and guidance.
All ideas are welcome, so please feel free to answer.

I'm considering upgrading the RAM on my laptop, but I'd like some advice before I buy.
My laptop is an Acer 5920, running Windows 7 32-bit. The specs are listed here http://www.miniputer.com/Acer/Aspire_5920.html . My model is running an Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 processor) with 2GB of RAM installed.
I'm considering upgrading to 4GB, using 2x2GB SODIMM, DDR2 sticks as recommended by the Crucial website (http://www.crucial.com/uk/upgrade/Acer-memory/Aspire+Notebooks/Aspire+5920-upgrades.html).
I understand that my Intel GM965 Express will only use RAM at 667MHz, so there's no need to buy 800MHz. Is this correct?
I've been quite confused by online discussions regarding how much RAM Windows 7 32-bit can recognise - will the full 4GB be utilised? If not, how much can my OS utilise, and will it make noticeable difference to the 2GB installed?
800MHz RAM is not supported, so dont waste your money. 667MHz is what Crucial recommended. Go for that.
Hello all,
I currently have an LG LS50a laptop, its nothing special but its still in good working order and i like the screen and keyboard etc... I want to upgrade it though cause its going a little bit slow... Its currently got a 80gb harddrive, 1.6ghz pentium M processor, 2x256 mb of sdram ddr2600 333mhz. Not sure what motherboard but i don't know if it has a video card. Its currently got vista ultimate installed on it so that might be making it a little slow as well. Do you think if I reformat it with XP wether it will run significantly faster? It hasn't got a lot of crap on it though...
One option is to upgrade the RAM, I think the Harddrive is stuffed as well cause when I'm watching movies it sorta skips every couple of seconds but the sound keeps going, so I'd have to replace that too. I can only find PC3200 VS 1GB DDR 400mhz though, is this suitable to go with the excisting mobo and cpu etc?
Other option is to replace the whole lot... cpu, mobo, hdd and RAM...
But... are all the motherboards set up the same, as in are the outputs all in the same place so that i could just swap them straight over. Also, my excisting laptop has inbuild wireless, is this on the motherboard? In which case i would need to get a motherboard with wireless... What about the video card? It says it currently has mobility radeon 9200... Is this a seperate card in which case i would need to upgrade that too or is it build in?
What sort of a cpu would i need? I ... Read more
this model of lg laptop has 855GM\PM chipset. it can hadle up to 320GB HDD and 2gb of RAM. videochip(mobility radeon 9700,sandwich type) can present or not, it depends on model of laptop. LCD screen, afaik, may be replaced to screen with higher resolution(SXGA+), you should check the cable for the presence of both LVDS channels, if so, then you can upgrade your XGA+ LCD-screen to SXGA+.
I was wondering on what possible processors I could replace my intel i7-5500u with. If a new motherboard is needed to replace it with the new chip, then so be it. Mt laptop is factory stock, with the 16gb RAM, 1tb SSD, and the NVIDIA GeForce. I would just like to have a little stronger cpu, and perferably a 4 core, or maybe even a 6 core if possible. Perfered range of 3.0ghz or higher. I also saw that some envy laptops can support up to 2 HDD/SSD. If my laptop is able to support that as well, that would be much appreciated.Read other answers

I'm trying to upgrade the internal hard drive for my laptop since the one I had died. It came with a IDE 40 GB at 4,200 rpm. I wanted to get a bigger HD at 5,400 or 7,200 rpm. I'll probably go for one at 5,400 rpm for more than 100 GB.
The problem is HP says that my model has been tested to support hard drives at 4,200 rpm and I can't go higher than 80 GB either. I've chatted with them online and they aren't very reliable since they've told me different stories. I spoke with the IT guy at my company and he said that there shouldn't be any problems upgrading it something faster than 4,200 rpm but I'm not sure if my BIOS will support it or I'll come across problems. What does anyone think about upgrading to a faster rpm and capacity that the manufacturer suggests?
Also, which brand would you guys recommend? I'd like something fast, reliable and that doesn't overheat since the Pentium 4 that I have already does that.
The specs for my HP laptop are the following:
HP Pavilion XT5366WM
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
US product number DC996A#ABA
Microprocessor Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6GHz
Mircoprocessor Cache 512KB (L2 cache)
Frontside BUS speed 400MHz front side bus
Processor architecture
Chipset ATI IPG 345M Northbridge
Hard drive 40 GB
Drive RPM 4200RPM

Memory speed 266 MHz
Total DIMM sockets Two

All I am trying to do is update the laptop that has not moved from "Version 10.0 (Build 10240)" to "Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.36)" like my other laptop and my desktop. Each of the suggestions I have received from anyone tells how to up date from Windows 7 or 8.1. I have done that. Please keep in mind I am a simple thinking old man who likes to think he can do basic IT work rather well.
Use one of the following links to download the Windows 10 10586 ISO file.
Media Creation Tool (MCT)
Tech Bench
I'll use MCT link as example........
Download the Tool > then run it.
Select Upgrade this PC now > that will begin downloading the ISO files.
After the iso is downloaded, RIGHT click at it > click Mount > click Setup.exe.
That will begin the installation.
Since you are doing the upgrade install, you can keep your settings, files and apps, or you can choose to keep nothing.
No product key is required.
Activation is automatic.
I was just wondering if I should even bother upgrade the CPU for my Sony Vaio PCG-K45. It's a Mobile Intel Pentium 4 Processor 538 3.2GHZ 533FSB 1 MB L2 Cache. Do laptops support the old pentium 4 Hyper threading technology cpu? I have a lot of computers at home some newer ones as well. I just wanna upgrade this CPU to a better one, if possible.
It could be risky to try replacing laptop CPUs. If you are careful it might be ok. Remember laptop CPUs are very different from Desktop computer CPUs

Hey guys,
I was thinking of getting a better cpu for my laptop, the one i have at the moment is a core 2 duo T6500 2.10ghz (socket P, code name penryn).
I did some reading and came to conclusion that as long as the code name and socket match, i can replace it with any other cpu.
The cpu's i was thinking of are the core 2 duo T9600, T9800 or T9900.
Am i right in thinking it is this straight forward? or will there have to be a BIOS update or something else i have missed, also, are there any better cpu's out there that i could replace it with?
Also, i dont know if this is important, but in Device Manager under Processors, it actually has the T9600 driver instead of the T6500 which is installed, which leads me to belive it could just be a swap job.
The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 15N with the core 2 duo T6500, 4GB ram and cpu-z is telling me that the bios is version 1.90 and that the chipset is an intel gm45/gm47.
Any info on this would be very helpful and if iv missed any details out jsut gimmi a shout.
oh and i wish everyone a happy new year!
First nothing is simple on a laptop when upgrading.
I am not sure about your choice for the upgrade as the FSB is quicker than yours!
Look here & think again, perhaps the T9500 is more appropriate?

Anyway, I recently upgraded my laptop's RAM to 8GB so that I could operate better with heavy software like Vegas Pro, CorelDRAW, Illustrator and Photoshop. But recently I just heard that the best upgrade to a laptop would be an SSD. I've only heard of SSD's existence a few months ago, and since then i've been researching about them and everyone says they're so much faster, efficient, reliable and...well, better. So I can't wait to upgrade =D
After alot of research, i've decided to go for Samsung 256GB 2.5-inch SSD 840 Pro since I love Samsung and many reviews said it's one of the best on the market. But I want to ground myself before I do this, i'm a noob when it comes to upgrading laptops so i'm still a little intimidated by it. So here's my questions:
? First of all, how can I know if my laptop's compatible with SSD's? (and with 840 Pro too)
? I've heard that SSD's lifespan decreases the more writes it does. Should I be worried about this?
? Do SSD's require defragmentation at all?
? I wanted to put Windows 8 in my SSD, but I keep hearing 7 is better for it. Is the differ... Read more
Welcome to EightForums ,Kratos Aurion. It's good to have you.
SSDs run great on just about any OS. You'll have to check your machine's documentation on what's possible and compatible. Please fill out your specs so it's easy for others to help.
Defrag is beyond my knowledge at this point. I plan on purchasing one for my tower. I've read a long thread where some were discussing the pros and cons.
Windows 8 is a great OS. Leaner and more efficient system. I'm sure you'll read otherwise here. I suggest to run it on a machine or dual boot for awhile to see if you like it.
Again, welcome.

I purchased a Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 gb to replace my current 5400 rpm 1 tb. While the current drive still inside the laptop, I attached the empty SSD to a sata connector and attached it though USB. I didn't format the drive using disk management. I used samsung data migration software v3, which was successful, but when I switch out the old drive, it booted showing the lenovo screen then it when to a black screen. I see the HDD activity light and the mouse cursor moves, but nothing else is showing. I take the drive out, put the 5400 rpm back in and cloned it with macrium reflect. Tried again and immediately showed the lenovo screen and automatic repair on the bottom, it says it can't preform a repair and tells me to shut down. Any advice on the disk management?Read other answers
the main reason im upgrading ram for my laptop that has 512 mb is to run the games faster on my laptop since its got 32mb vram. all my friends said there is no way i can upgrade graphic card for laptop. so when i was looking for ram, there were PC3200, 2700 2100, etc... my computer has pc2700 memory right now but do i have to install pc2700 in it?
i also heard there are limits for how much memory the laptop can hold. is that true?
Your system memory and video memory are two completely different things. You can normally upgrade your system memory up to the limit the motherboard chipset can handle so yes there are limts to the amount of memory you can add. If your motherboard supports RAM speeds higher than PC2700 go for it, but you will more than likely have to do some adjustments once you do this. Contact the manufacturer or consult their web site to see exactly what the upgrade path is.

I have a Gateway laptop with: Mobile AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.19 GHz. I have just ordered 1g RAM (max it will allow) and am in the process of putting in a new HD using Acronis True Image. Question: Should I look for a new CPU or is the one installed good enough for (non gaming) use? Thanks -John in San Antonio
Laptop CPU's arent the easiest to change and are very difficult to find in stores, and at 2.19GHz there isn't a whole lot better that you can do. With only 1GB RAM, 2.2GHz should be great with most programs.
I want to upgrade my VAIO laptop SVS13's HDD to a 256gb ssd. it has Windows 8.1 on it, and what I want to do is backup only a couple files but move most of my data from my old booting HDD that I'm using now. Would this process I'm describing work? So I would basically take out my hdd, put it in the enclosure, put the ssd in my laptop, install Windows using a USB drive (I have my own pro key, so I won't be using the recovery partitioned one if tis works), install programs/drivers, and copy/paste selected data from the enclosure.
This is the SSD I want to buy, though if there is anything better in this price range, please tell me. I'm not sure which enclosure to get, so I need help with that too. I've been confused that whether the HDD will die quicker or something after reading other threads.
It should work, why not ? Just few things to do first, make sure you collect all the drivers needed, do not connect now secondary drive until OS installation completed and make sure AHCI mode is set in the BIOS. Other than that there's nothing different from OS drive being SSD instead of HDD.Read other 7 answers

If i can change it to one that uses an intel processor witch intel processor would work best? I would also like to know the maximum amount of ram the motherboard/pc board you suggest can take? Thank you for your time.
Hi, Well, looks like you are talking about buying a new machine here (would be cheaper and less headache). Anyway, the cheapest way to improve it right now (a) Add 4GB RAM: It has 4GB on one slot now, you can add SAME 4GB on the second slot http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03619178 (b) Change slow existing 320GB HDD to a faster HDD or SSD. SSD's are very cheap now. The first manual on the following link will help you a lot more: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-2000-Notebook-PC-series/5296210/model/5360117/manuals My suggestion: saving more money to buy a new machine. Your machine is around 4 years old now. Regards.Read other 1 answers

I have a laptop that i bought in 2010 and am looking to upgrade the RAM instead of buying a new laptop. The model is a Gateway ID49C07u, here is a link to the specs:
I want to upgrade to 8GB of RAM, and am looking for the most cost-effective option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
i have a older laptop with a pentium 100..it is soldered to mother board..can it be safely ,with out damaging board ,soldered out and a socket replaced instead aso that i can install a pentium 233..or a celeron if thats possible..thank you..
Save your nickels and buy a new laptop, you can get used ones with 600-1000mhz processors in the $500 range. I wouldn't spend any money or effort trying to upgrade one that old.

Okay, first of all i've read many threads in this forum and others saying it is not possible to make groundbreaking changes (or any changes at all) to laptops as it is possible with desktops. I have an HP dv6 1105ee laptop (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01706655&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&lc=en&dlc=ru&cc=ru〈=ru&product=3925199) and the most primary usage turned out to be Gaming after all.
I play games like Assassin's Creed, Dirt 2, GTA IV... Though they are "playable", i would like to play them on better graphic settings. Dirt 2 looks awfully nice and runs quite smoothly with medium settings on 1280 x 720 resolution though.
The problem i'm facing is with GTA IV. I am aware it is a demanding game. But my laptop seems to struggle to handle it even at 800 x 480 (the min) resolution. The frames stutter when there is a lot to display in the environment even at this resolution. I tried playing around with other settings as well but that just makes the game look worse (it already is bad with the low resolution). I've attached some screenshots of how the game looks.
My system is pretty clean with no unnecessary bloatwares. And i use Game Booster too (http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html).
Is it possible for me to upgrade my laptop's specs? If so, what would be the most feasible way to upgrade (considering playing games like GTA IV)? Would upgrading the RAM make a big difference? Can i upgrade... Read more

i am looking to buy a Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 / 2.2 GHz processor ( mobile ) from
for my laptop
these are the detailed spesifications
the laptop which im going to put it in is a clevo co. m66su
1.60Ghz cpu (T2500) l2 cache 2Mb
512Mb nvidia GeForce Go 7300
2Gb ram
120Gb fujitsu hdd
will the cpu work providing that i fit it properly?
I am assuming you have the Clevo model number wrong, as all I can find is M660SU or M661SU. As for the processor, I don't see it specifically listed as an option on those laptops, but they do list the Intel Core 2 Duo Processors T7200 ,T7400, and T7600. Judging from that info I would assume it will work. I would suggest contacting Clevo for their opinion though.
would this ram be ok for what i need?
i currently have a 256mb card, 64mb of which is being used for the graphics so i thought i should upgrade
i have a packard bell Easynote F which uses -
* Requires a 184-pin, non-ECC, PC2700 DDR SDRAM.
* Can accept 128, 256 or 512 MB memory modules.
* Maximum memory capacity: 512 MB

Hi guys,
I know that you can add memory to a laptop but what about a CPU upgrade. Are there special mobile CPU's? In particular the Asus gaming republic laptops.
A friend of mine asked to check some Intel C2Q CPU's for him. He is currently running a fairly old gaming laptop. As far as I know: Intel C2D, 3GB ram memory, GTX260 GPU.
If the price is right, he might replace the C2D with the C2Q.
But before browsing around for one, I wanted to check first if there are any specifications, differences or requirements when planning on replacing a laptop CPU.
Thanks ahead.
Back in the days of socket 478 there were some proprietary sockets for laptops floating around. I think today for the most part they are using sockets typical to their chipset.
Upgrading is just as dependent on bios support for other cpu's as it is for the physical socket itself though. More specific information would probably be forthcoming from the community here if we had exact make and model information on the laptop.
Hi! I've got a laptop with 256 MB RAM and I'm interested in upgrading it with 512 MB RAM.
I'm not sure which type of RAM is in my laptop ex. PC2700.
My question is, If I have PC2700 256 MB RAM on my laptop and I add PC3200 512 MB RAM.
Will the two blocks be able to co-operate?
Or do I have to buy two PC3200 Blocks?
I was looking at PC3200 512MB RAM / 64bit somewhere, what's the 64bit?
I don't think I've got a 64 bit system, does it matter??

I have an HP Pavilion DV5140US laptop. I'd like to know the upgrade pathways for me. The hard drive is a 300 MB replacement.
Can I go to Vista without losing the programs installed? And then go to Win7 from Vista without losing programs already installed?
I have seen internet "help" topics that say going to Win7 means having to reinstall all the programs. Another site said to copy programs to an external drive and then to copy the programs back. What can I do?
You can only go to Windows Vista since your PC only supports XP and Vista:

According to the Acer specs your 5310 can use up to 2GB. of memory.
I purchased a Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 gb to replace my current 5400 rpm 1 tb. While the current drive still inside the laptop, I attached the empty SSD to a sata connector and attached it though USB. I didn't format the drive using disk management. I used samsung data migration software v3, which was successful, but when I switch out the old drive, it booted showing the lenovo screen then it when to a black screen. I see the HDD activity light and the mouse cursor moves, but nothing else is showing. I take the drive out, put the 5400 rpm back in and cloned it with macrium reflect. Tried again and immediately showed the lenovo screen and automatic repair on the bottom, it says it can't preform a repair and tells me to shut down. Any advice on the disk management?
You did not explain the 3 pictures, as to what is going on.
Boot into Setup (Bios) go to the Security tab, look for Secure Boot, it it is enabled, then change it to Disabled, or Setup Mode. If it is set to UEFI Bios, set it to Legacy. Be sure to change back after successfully booting.
Put the SSD in laptop and attach the HDD as USB and boot to Macrium CD or USB boot drive/disc (If you haven't created a boot disc Macrium, try that)
Wipe the SSD of all partitions, Clone the USB HDD to the SSD.
Hi everyone.
I'm helping a friend upgrade their laptop, its a Compaq nx9005.
Definitely wanna upgrade the RAM, but also thinking about doing the CPU as well.
From what I can tell, the most RAM it can handle is 2x 512 MB 266 MHz SODIMM DDR SDRAM RAM modules.
If I look for that on eBay, its gonna be fairly expensive, I was thinking that I could probably get some newer RAM that is backwards compatible, but I'm a little out of my depth. Would this be suitable? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/KTT667D2-512...ltDomain_0&hash=item4cf29853b5#ht_2123wt_1141
Also wanna do the CPU, I know that it takes a AMD Mobile Athlon XP-M processor, would this work? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AMD-Mobile-A...538?pt=CPUs&hash=item53dd7bbcb2#ht_548wt_1141

I own a Dell Inspiron B130 and i want to upgrade the processor and add more RAM. Does anyone know where i can find upgrades for my notebook/laptop?i would preferably like to upgrade to at least 2.4GHz and at least 512MB of RAM.
system specs----
intel celeron m
1.60GHz processor, 504MB of RAM
You can add more RAM. Changing processors would be tricky to impossible.
I imagine it takes regular ddr SODIMM RAM, but you can go to www.crucial.com and use their tool to figure out exactly what you need. You can buy from them or order from any online retailer such as newegg or zipzoomfly.

First of all, here's my laptop's specs just so if they're somehow needed:
? Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
? CPU: Intel i7 740QM (1.73GHz, Turbo2.93G, 6MB)
? Memory: 6GB
? Hard Drive: 640GB
? Screen: 15.6" LED 1366*768
? Chipset: Intel HM55
? Video: NVidia GT425M 1GB VRAM
So anyway, I wanted to upgrade my laptops RAM so it can handle heavy programs like Vegas Pro, Photoshop and CorelDRAW better than it does now since I have some heavy HD footage to edit. My fears come from the fact that i've never done this before in my life, so I wanna be aware of what i'm doing here before I completely screw my laptop up for good. My questions are:
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
? How do you install more RAM? I know it's a little "card" that you insert in a slot inside the laptop, but is inserting it enough or do you have to change the BIOS or install it manually or something?
? How do I know how much RAM my PC can handle? (EDIT: Already found out, thanks anyway)
? Is there anyway to know if the RAM is inserted well in the slot? I want to know this before I try it for the first time...
? Is it reccommended to make use of all slots, or the less slots used the better?
? Are RAM "cards" universal, or are some of them incompatible with certain computers/laptops?
Sorry for having such doubts, it's my first time doing this and I don't want to screw it up in any way. So this is what crucial.com had to say about my PC's RAM:

Yep its just as simple as inserting it inside the laptop. No changes have to be made in the BIOS or operating system. Easy right?
Quote: Originally Posted by Kratos Aurion

It really doesn't matter how many slots you do or don't use. Either way it will work just fine.
[QUOTE=Kratos Aurion;2249082]• Are RAM "cards" universal, or are some of them incompatible with certain computers/laptops?[quote]
No RAM is not universal. I see you are using the crucial system scanner which is great and helps you buy the correct RAM. May I recommend you buy from there .
Everyone has doubts when they do things for the first time. It's good to ask around. But I am sure you will be fine.
Also..... I would go with there 16GB configuration at the very top.

2Gb of ram
And i want to know if it is at all possible to upgrade it? I would like to, one day, upgrade the Processor and Ram and maybe the graphics card.
You can only upgrade the RAM of laptops. (99% of the time) That would do nice for Vista Ultimate.

I just got a new laptop, a new edition of the Dell Inspiron 15, and while it's a great laptop, it's video card isn't up to par for anything. I've been looking around, searching for anything that might help me figure out how to upgrade, what video card would work, and if my laptop will even handle an improved video card, let alone if it's able to fit or if I need to try doing that externally, and I can't find enough information on any of that. My budget's currently enough for a decent video card, up to $200, so I would think that's not a problem.
Since I'm technologically inept, I hope there is someone that can help me know if upgrading is even a possibility.
is this your new laptop http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15-3521/pd ? Upgrading the Graphics except on some higher end models is not really possible. The Graphics Controller is embedded on the motherboard. Generally your upgrade options on a laptop is usually limited to increasing the Ram or a hard drive upgrade. If you are saying that the Graphics won't handle gaming, most laptops are not designed as gaming computers. And those that are are actually very expensive for that reason.

One of the questions that arose in the course of Mearsheimer's and Leiter's defense of Mearsheimer's blurb was whether or not Atzmon, the author of the bizarre book that Mearsheimer blurbed, is either a Holocaust denier or Holocaust revisionist. Mearsheimer, in the course of doubling down and refusing to budge, stated unequivocally:
I cannot find evidence in his book or in his other writings that indicate he 'traffics in Holocaust denial.
Notice that this concerns other things Atzmon has written, not just the book Mearsheimer blurbed. Like Leiter, who blandly declared Atzmon (on the basis of extremely brief research) a "cosmopolitan" rather than an anti-semite, Mearsheimer declares him no Holocaust denier at all.
In the very first comment on Mearsheimer's post defending himself (and Atzmon), a reader attempted to provide more data. The reader provided a partial quotation and a link. I am here providing a longer quotation with a different link to the same post. Here is Atzmon on the Holocaust (emphasis added).
It took me years to accept that the Holocaust narrative, in its current form, doesn't make any historical sense. Here is just one little anecdote to elaborate on:
If, for instance, the Nazis wanted the Jews out of their Reich (Judenrein - free of Jews), or even dead, as the Zionist narrative insists, how come they marched hundreds of thousands of them back into the Reich at the end of the war? I have been concerned with this simple question for more than a while.
I am left puzzled here; if the Nazis ran a death factory in Auschwitz-Birkenau, why would the Jewish prisoners join them at the end of the war? Why didn't the Jews wait for their Red liberators?
I think that 65 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, we must be entitled to start to ask the necessary questions. We should ask for some conclusive historical evidence and arguments rather than follow a religious narrative that is sustained by political pressure and laws.
If this is not "trafficking" in Holocaust denial, I'm not sure what would count. In my earlier post I pointed out that Atzmon plays the post-modernist and says that he "neither affirms nor denies" the Holocaust. That's bad enough. Oddly, the postmodern mask seems to have slipped here. He's talking about "historical sense" and saying in so many words that such Holocaust details as the desire of the Nazis to eradicate the Jews from the Reich and the existence of a death camp at Auschwitz do not make historical sense. Yet I have no evidence that Mearsheimer and Leiter have revised their opinion on the subject or on Mearsheimer's endorsement of Atzmon, despite the fact that this information was made available to Mearsheimer. If readers have evidence that either Mearsheimer or Leiter has done a 180 and repudiated Atzmon, do post that evidence in comments.

White Truck-Up - Lifting Our 2010 Ram 3500Posted in How To: Suspension Brakes on April 1, 2012
Our 2010 Ram 3500 has earned its stripes in the past year and a half by dragging trailers of projects, bed loads of parts, and cab loads of stinky magazine guys. It has been across America multiple times, tested various tires, and explored backroads in search of relaxation and a place to sleep in the wild. As such, we've grown to appreciate its dirt-simple reliability and made some changes over time that make it better. We've also realized certain parts are not our favorite.
The truck has changed from a yearlong test vehicle to a permanent part of the 4WOR family, and as such, upgrades may be moving on from bolt-on bonanza to a cut here, a hole drilled there, no-turning-back upgrades. For this installment we beefed up the underneath and gave the truck a better ride and more support for heavy loads.
Tired New Truck
We've run multiple tires on the Ram, starting with BFGoodrich KM2 Mud-Terrains then BFG All-Terrains and some Cooper Discoverer A/T3s. The Mud-Terrains were by far our favorite, though probably not the best for daily driving and towing where the Coopers or All-Terrains shine. We recently mounted the muddies on some used forged Power Wagon wheels we had powdercoated black. This gave the truck a nice light wheel with an aggressive tire combo, perfect for four-wheeling.

A Climate for Pikas
Analysis of habitat helps federal biologists make protection decision
Katy Human, Spring 2010
American pikas, little rabbit-like mammals that live on cool and rocky high-altitude slopes, have become a symbol of climate change impacts for some environmental groups. They often cannot tolerate the relative warmth of valleys, and so if climate change forces their preferred habitat upslope, populations could be left isolated, on "sky islands" of good habitat.
In 2007, an environmental group requested that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service assess threats to the mammal- especially climate change- to see if pikas warranted protection under the Endangered Species Act. The FWS sought help from NOAA- the first time NOAA has been involved in a species status review.
June, July, and August temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, including areas of pika habitat. a) Climatology (1950-1999 average); b) 2025 projection; c) 2050 projection; and d) 2090 projection. Images and downscaled modeling by Jonathan Eishcheid (Physical Sciences Division).
"We were approached by Fish and Wildlife to conduct a rapid review of the area's climate that they could use to inform their decision on pika status," said ESRL's Andrea Ray (Physical Sciences Division, currently on assignment to NOAA's Office of Policy, Planning & Evaluation). "We brought different threads of scientific study together to bear on the particular problem and provided it in about six months so FWS could meet the deadline," she said.
Pikas generally live in alpine and subalpine rockfields, and their range includes mountainous regions from the U.S. and Canadian West.
In February, ESRL's Ray and Joe Barsugli, Klaus Wolter, and Jon Eischeid (all Physical Sciences Division and CIRES) completed a 47-page analysis of observed and projected climate changes in pika habitat. The team assessed climate observations at and near pika locations; and projections from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment report. They also "downscaled" the IPCC projections to project future climate patterns in 22 specific pika locations.
The research team found that for pika habitat, the average summers of the middle of this century will be warmer than the warmest summers of the past, by about 5°F. Observing stations in parts of Nevada and Oregon, for example, show summertime warming of 2-4°F during the past 30 years. These findings are consistent with the large-scale warming projected by the IPCC global models.
The trends identified in the NOAA report are probably enough to harm some pika populations, especially those in low-elevation, higher-temperature parts of the Great Basin, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service concluded.
"However, these losses will not be on the scale that would cause any species, subspecies or distinct population segments of pika to become endangered in the foreseeable future," the Service wrote, declining to confer protection to the species. "We believe the pika will have enough high elevation habitat to ensure its long-term survival."

As Americans wait to see how the Supreme Court will handle two challenges to contraceptive and abortifacient provisions of the Affordable Care Act, religion has become an issue in this dispute in sometimes surprising ways.
From the start it has been obvious that the case being weighed by the court raises serious religious liberty issues. What wasn't obvious until now was that in some minds there's another religious issue as well: the faith commitment, or absence thereof, of individual members of the Supreme Court — especially the Catholics.
That was the implication of a front-page story in the Washington Post on March 24, the day before the court heard oral arguments in the consolidated case. The story, written by Post Supreme Court reporter Robert Barnes, focused on whether and how the justices' religious views might affect the outcome, with particular attention given to five of the court's six Catholic members.
The Post wasn't alone in stressing religious aspects of the case over and above its First Amendment free-exercise dimension. The Los Angeles Times commented that "because the objections to the contraceptive mandate come from Catholic bishops and evangelical Christians, not small or obscure sects, the potential effect has been magnified."
But the Post went further. In "what is likely to be the signature case of the term," Barnes wrote, "the issue is not affiliation but devotion" — in other words, the presence or absence of religious fervor among the justices. Whatever Barnes and the Post had in mind, the message appeared to some to be: Keep your eye on those Catholics.
It's reasonable to suppose many people will.
The court devoted 90 minutes on March 25 to hearing the two consolidated challenges (Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Sebelius). Sebelius is U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the Obama administration official with overall responsibility for overseeing the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare.
The decision is expected shortly before the court's present term ends late June. In general, the oral arguments suggested the unsurprising possibility of a 5-4 result, with the four liberal justices — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — pitted against the four conservatives — Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. In that scenario, the tie-breaking vote would be cast, as so often, by Justice Anthony Kennedy.
The Hobby Lobby case involves a 600-store crafts chain with more than 13,000 employees owned by evangelical Christians. Conestoga Wood Specialties is a cabinet-making company owned by a Mennonite family and employing 950 people. The owners in both cases object to the Affordable Care Act's requirement that businesses provide employee health coverage that includes abortifacients.
Hobby Lobby prevailed in the lower courts. But the appeals court in the Conestoga Wood Specialties case ruled in favor of the government. The Supreme Court's decision will be crucial not only for companies like these in their relations with Obamacare but for larger legal and constitutional questions.
These are whether the First Amendment's religious free-exercise protection extends to profit-making corporations and whether the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive and abortifacient requirements reflect a "compelling government interest" entitling it, in the terms of a 1993 law, to impose a "substantial burden" on the free-exercise rights of persons with conscientious objections.
The 1993 law, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, was adopted by Congress to rectify an earlier Supreme Court ruling seen as lowering the barrier to government infringement on free exercise too far.
Not directly at issue in the present dispute is the contraception-abortion mandate as it applies to church-related groups and institutions. But cases representing their interests are headed for court, and the result in the Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties case will have a strong, though not necessarily decisive, effect on them.
Two weeks before the oral arguments, a coalition called the Catholic Benefits Association, representing nearly 200 Catholic employers and 19,000 employees nationwide, filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma against these provisions of Obamacare.
Against this background, the interest in the religious commitments of the justices expressed in the Washington Post article was unusual though perhaps not surprising. Barnes passed lightly over the religious view of the court's three Jewish members — Ginsburg, Breyer, and Kagan — suggesting that none of them was very religious.
Of the court's six Catholics, the article — for unexplained reasons — ignored Kennedy entirely, even though his vote may ultimately decide the outcome. Regarding Sotomayor, Barnes wrote that she is "not religious, by most accounts" but does have "an extensive religious background" and credits her parochial schooling with her rise "from poverty to an elite education."
That left four other Catholics — Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito — whom Barnes characterized as religiously conservative. The Post writer expressed wonderment especially at Scalia's having confessed to belief in the devil in a magazine interview last year.
"The rise of religious conservatives on the court corresponds with the rise of the religious right in Republican politics," Barnes wrote. He conceded, however, that, according to "experts," Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Alito "were not chosen for their religious affiliations."
So why bring those affiliations up now? The Post writer didn't say, but he made it clear that in his mind — and presumably the Post editors' minds — it matters.
"The justices got religion," Barnes wrote. "Or at least they seem more open about their faith ... talking more about how religion shaped their lives or guides them now." And that, he intimated, could make a difference now, as the court "weighs religious conviction vs. legal obligation."
The heightened interest in this dispute was visible in a larger than ordinary outpouring of media commentaries before and after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments. Among these was a March 22 op-ed column in the Post by prominent evangelical pastor Rick Warren, author of the best-selling book "The Purpose Driven Life" (Zondervan, $14.99). If the government wins this case, he declared, "the first purpose on which the United States was founded (religious liberty) would be severely damaged."
Warren concluded with a quote from a letter by Thomas Jefferson that he once owned but said he'd given to Hobby Lobby owners David and Barbara Green: "No provision in our constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of civil authority."
In less than three months, America will find out whether the Supreme Court agrees.

Rex Vs. Romo? You Make The Call!
Hello my name is David. But you can call me Rubini. Yes, I'm the new kid in town.
I would like to officially welcome you to the first installment of my thoughts and predictions on your favorite team.. rather "our" favorite team – "America's Team", the beloved Dallas Cowboys. Please keep in mind that we all thrive off commentary. I enjoy, welcome and encourage passionate feedback. Positive or negative. Go for it! Voice your opinion and let's have fun this year! Cool? Alright!!
When it comes to this Sundays match-up between the Cowboys and Bears, there are many uncanny similarities and many major differences between the two quarterbacks. We all must thank heaven and thank our lucky blue and silver stars concerning the latter!
Both QB's are in their 5th season. Both play in the NFC Conference, and both are the captains driving the ship of a well oiled playoff team with realistic goals to win a Super Bowl this year after a disappointing and anticlimactic 2006-2007 season.
And that's where the coincidences and similarities sharply appear to die.
Romo is simply a superior quarterback. From what we have seen thus far, Tony seems to have truly "learned" a bit from last years remarkable (yet heartbreaking) rags to riches to rags melodrama. This year, Romo seems much more poised and in control as he isn't forcing anything when the offensive line crumbles or when coverage is too tight. He may take a sack, or he may even run and scramble for a gain? But Romo isn't throwing silly interceptions like his Chicago rival Rex or like Tony himself did towards the end of last season.
I like the fact too that "Baby Bum" (term of endearment) and Garrett are willing to let Romo "loose" to improvise. Unfortunately, Big Bill last year was the one who felt it absolutely necessary to negate Tony the freedom to run and create. He was putting away the anointing oil when perhaps he should have put in an order for some more?
Romo's a gifted scrambler ala the original Cowboys "Dodger" Roger Staubach. Romo doesn't ever need to be caged up again as that would only kill his spirit and eventually his effectiveness. Wade and Garrett get Romo. They understand Romo better than I ever could have imagined! Along with Garrett's new, fresh approach to handling Romo the new poised, "controlled" gunslinger, we should see plenty of all the cool, electrifying, fun stuff that comes so naturally to Tony.
And unlike Rex in either 06′ or now in 07′, Romo again has the command and the respect of his teammates. That's huge! And once again, Romo has recaptured the rest of the NFL's respect at large. Rex may have led his Chicago Bears team to the big enchilada last year, but this year there are even more questions than there are answers when it comes to Grossman. The stats speak for themselves.
In Dallas' last two victories, Romo threw for 531 yds, with 6 TD's and just one pick and a passing rating ranked 2nd in the league. Grossman on the other hand, has just barely over 300 yds with 3 picks, one lousy touchdown pass, and is sitting on a rating that ranks at nearly the very bottom of all QB's both in the NFC and the AFC.
Romo should positively give last years NFC champs a major headache up in the Windy City at Soldier Field.
With a big win against the Bears this Sunday, expect the Romomania bandwagon to get extremely crowded once again. I'll save you a spot next to the window.
What's your opinion? Does Rex have a 300 yard game in him to beat The Boys on his home turf? Will Romo shine once again on primetime television and live up to all the growing hype? Let us know your thoughts!
My Prediction: Cowboys 31 Bears 24

The Smirnoff campaign also owes a lot to its art director, Hershel Bramson, who was then working at the Lawrence C. Gumbinner advertising agency. To help him work on the account, he brought in his friend Bert Stern, who had been his assistant and apprentice at Look magazine, where Stern started out as a mailroom delivery boy at age 17.
At some point, they went looking for a photographer to shoot the campaign, but as both Irving Penn and Erwin Blumenfeld turned them down, Bramson said to Bert Stern "You know what I want. You shoot it." And the rest, as they say, is history. Bert Stern went on to become one of the great American photographer.

Rights and Responsibilities in Medieval Guilds is a fun educational site aimed at middle school students. It describes requirements for membership and the duties of merchants, craftsmen and bakers. It was created by Kacey Marton and Allyson Terry of the Portola Middle School Highly Gifted Magnet Program in Los Angeles, California.
From the site:
A guild is a group of people who have mastered one certain field, craft, or trade. Guilds were extremely important in medieval times, especially to the economic life of the towns and villages. There was usually one guildhall in a town, which was also the location of an annual guild feast, where members of the guilds in that particular town would gather with their wives and play cheerful games after eating a huge, delectable feast. Most of the different types of guilds (and their shops and stalls) were stationed in one large part of the town, and some of the guild members even lived on a block filled with guilds. Some even lived in extra rooms or dens that were a part of their shops. In the picture to the left, various types of guild members work together to build and decorate a wall and below guild members are doing a variety of activities in a village. Please study examples of each of the important guilds by clicking on their name to the left.
Guilds were very much based on rights and responsibilities, which set standards for the guild's services and products. In order for someone to get into a guild, they must be within a certain age group, and meet other requirements, depending upon the guild. If they had all of the right requirements, their parents would pay for someone who was already in the guild to take their child as an apprentice. After years of training in how to master the trade or craft, the apprentice was "tested" by creating a masterpiece and having it evaluated by the other guild members. If the masterpiece was of great quality, made with guild ethics in mind, and at the level that was expected after the amount of training that they had undergone, then the apprentice officially became a member of the guild.

This site will be great for my low level 9th graders. Thanks! :-)
Wow. I'm one of the authors of the site and am now a senior in high school. I can't believe this project actually is being seen by people other than our seventh grade history teacher. That's the power of the internet, I guess. I hope the teacher finds the site helpful!

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Using kitchen scissors, remove the first and second joints from the wings of the two chickens and set aside. Stand the chicken upright, and using the scissors, cut down the length of the backbone on either side. Now lay the chicken flat and cut down the center of the breastbone. Now you should have two chicken halves. Repeat with the other chicken.
Mix the chopped sage, orange zest, cumin, cayenne and olive oil together to make the marinade. Coat all sides of all the chicken pieces with the marinade. Stack them, placing a crescent of fresh orange between each piece. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least three or four hours, or overnight.
In the meantime, roast the chicken backs and wing joints in a 325 F oven until they are golden brown. Depending on how high the sides of your roasting pan are, this may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. The lower the sides of your pan, the faster your chicken will brown.
Raise heat to 400 degrees.
While the chicken is roasting, place the orange juice in a heavy saucepan over medium heat to simmer. Let it reduce in volume until it is syrupy. Add the sherry or vermouth, stirring constantly, and continue cooking for about five minutes. Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the roasted chicken backs and wings, lower to a simmer, and cook for one hour. Strain and reserve the sauce.
Place two twelve inch skillets on the stove at high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to each skillet, then place two chicken halves in each pan, skin side down. Cover each pair of chicken halves with one brick, then place in the oven. Roast for about 20 minutes, remove the bricks, and turn the chickens. Replace the bricks and roast for about 20 minutes more. Remove from the pan.
Divide the chanterelles into two halves, placing half of them in each of the two hot pans which were just used for the chickens. Saute the mushrooms for a few minutes, until they begin to soften, then add the sauce. When the sauce boils, add the asparagus tips, cook for two minutes, and add salt if necessary.
Using a slotted spoon, place the mushrooms and asparagus onto four individual plates. Place one half-chicken on each plate, then spoon the sauce equally over each. Serve immediately.
Serves four.

I found these 5 little birds some time ago.
They were in the drawer waiting for the right moment to come out.
Guess spring is the best time!
But first the gift!
Corry and me are spoiled by Virginia from Portugal.
She spoiled us with traditional Portugese fabrics,
And cute home made wooden buttons!
Dear Virginia thank you so much!!
We love your style and blog!
The 5 birds,
Two birds flew out of the drawer on this bag,
one bird found his place here,
And this lovely couple jumped on the third bag!
Of course the bags will be in our shop.

We all have unwanted fat deposits or cellulite that will not go away, even with adequate diet and exercise. Lipomedix Contour is the most advanced non-invasive body contouring treatment liposuction alternative treatment. Unlike the current older technologies, this system utilises the most effective multi biocavitation technology which targets and destroys fat cells in three ways – cryo lipolysis, laser lipolysis and ultrasonic fat cavitation. The result is the most effective break down of unwanted fat deposits and cellulite, resulting in a slimmer body shape and smoother skin – without the risks of liposuction surgery. Lipomedix Contour utilizes the revolutionary 5 in 1 cavitation treatment to deliver the best results in fat and cellulite reduction. The 5 combinational modalities include : 1. Laser Lipolysis (laser fat cavitation) 2. Cryotherapy Fat Freezing (freezing fat cavitation) 3. Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation (ultrasonic fat cavitation) 4. Electroporesis Cell Stimulation (improving cell metabolism) 5. Dermal Vacuum Suction (improving lymphatic drainage) Designed as a simple 'walk-in, walk out' solution performed in a cosmetic medical clinic, the Lipomedix Contour treatments involve no downtime, no follow up maintenance, and no recovery time. The safe and effective procedure can treat multiple areas such as the abdomen, love handles, bra straps, angel wings, saddle bags, buttocks, knees, and thighs. Following a treatment, patients can immediately resume their daily routines. Treatment sessions times range between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated. The number of treatments required ultimately depends on the amount of fat or cellulite to be treated. The scientifically developed medical Lipomedix Contour technology is based on a medical breakthrough that uses biocavitational energy (laser, ultrasound and fat freezing) , to selectively break down fat cells and cellulite without affecting neighbouring structures. Immediately after treatment, the body's natural pathways clear away the disrupted fat cells. The procedure is comfortable and painless, has no side effects, and requires no anaesthesia or sedation. SAFE Selectively and safely targets fat cells and cellulite with no damage to the skin, nerves, and blood vessels. Safe clearance of lysed fat cells via the body's natural physiological and metabolic pathways. EFFECTIVE Clinically proven results which are observable and measurable.

There is no recovery period and no downtime. There is no post-treatment pain or discomfort. There is also no bleeding, bruising or swelling after the treatment. 7.How does the Lipomedix Contour treatment work? The treatment utilizes scientifically proven non-invasive combinational fat cavitation technology to destroy unwanted fat cells and to break down their fat contents. This revolutionary technology utilizes cryotherapy, laser lipolysis, and ultrasonic cavitation energies, combined to reduce fat deposits and cellulite. The focused energy selectively targets fat cells in the chosen body area without harming surrounding tissues such as the skin, nerves or blood vessels. 8.What happens to the fat? During the treatment, the membranes of the fat cells are disrupted. The fat cell content, primarily comprised of triglycerides, is dispersed into the fluid between the cells and then transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The liver makes no distinction between fat coming from the Lipomedix Contour treatment and fat originating from consumed food. Both are processed by the body's natural mechanisms and converted to bile. This is excreted from the body naturally via the urine and stools.
