Deal of the Day

I have not looked at any performance information since I bought my
AMD643500 for well over $200, I could use the ram too, because I have 2gb but over 4 sticks and running at 333 instead of 400, it'd be nice to get that 67mhz I supose, but I think I could spring for atleast $120 on a cpu if nessicary to max out my machine potential.

Friday March 28th: Wireless Routers from dealnews.com

Walmart.com offers the Linksys WRH54G 802.11g Wireless Router for $34.87. With 97 cents for shipping, it's the lowest total price we could find by $8. Sales tax is added where applicable. This 4-port router features WPA2 protection and supports VPN pass-through. Other wireless router deals are available at Walmart.com:

* Netgear WGR614 802.11g Wireless Router for $39.27 + $7 s&h
* Linksys WRT54G 802.11g Wireless Router for $44.97 + $7 s&h
* Linksys 802.11g Wireless Router with SRX200 for $49.97 + $1 s&h

Use these to set up a wireless network in your home, I know three people who have bought ~$40-50 routers from walmart and they work fine for using laptops around the house and such.

That's awesome Grav, good work man. You should do me a favor and include laptops in one of your Deals of the Day..

With Vista, there's a program on there (I forgot what it's called) where you can add a Jump/Flash drive and instantly add to your systems ram, it's fucking amazing it uses the 2.0 USB port and uses it just like it would regular ram, i'm going either today or this weekened sometime and getting a 2gig+ stick, and testing it out. It's an amazing feature that alone may convince me to keep Vista.

ReadyBoost.

That's a very good price for the first Linksys router.

What brand in particular? The ones I see most often are Dell, Acer, and Lenovo (Thinkpads). Sometimes Toshiba, HP, and Sony VAIO. How much do you want to spend and what are you looking for in a laptop?

I'm also in the market for a laptop.. but I'm looking for a cheap one (100-150) that essentially just has wi-fi and can handle basic tasks.

I've already got a laptop, but I'm looking to upgrade. In the other thread I think I may have posted the model #, I am wanting to upgade bits and peices but doing it slowly.

Do you think the Linksys WRH54G 802.11g Wireless Router would work with Xbox live? Anybody have any firsthand experience with it? I went to the Xbox site and I don't see that particular one anywhere. I'm going to be setting up Live this weekend/next week (my laptop is FINALLY fixed, woohoo), so I'm going to need a reliable router. I'd prefer wireless but it's not a must.

It all depends on the letter at the end of the router, as that one you listed is a "g" model. If any of the "g's" work then that one should, I'm not familiar with Xbox360, but all routers are basically the same, and it shold work just fine.

4GB (2x2GB) A-DATA DDR2-667 Laptop Memory $60 After $15 MIR

Newegg has 4GB (2x2GB) A-DATA DDR2-667 laptop SoDIMM dual channel memory kit for $75 - $15 rebate = $60 with free shipping. Fillable rebate form.

That's a ton of memory for $60, IMO. I got 2GB for about $60 a few months back.

It's also not incredibly fast memory.

It's fine for common applications. Laptops are not usually set up for gaming.
