Ah, computer slang. Nothing like it.

It's not really slang when it is a web site name...

$500 can go a mighty long way Thermodyne... Once you know what you need, just watch the deal sites and wait for good rebates. All it takes is a bit of patience.

It is slang when it mimics an actual word.

Sorry. Had to.

Anyway, I've been out of the loop for so long, all this new RAM terminology has got me a bit confuddled. DDR this and PCxxxx that. What the devil does it all mean? And more importantly, what's a good thing to look out for that would give decent performance along with a managable pricetag?
