The Crucial system scanner thingy suggests this stuff: "DDR PC2100 • CL=2.5 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR266 • 2.5V • 64Meg x 64" Oddly, it couldn't tell me anything about this computer last time I tried. Mayce the UK and US Crucial sites have different scanners. *shrug*

Would that (much cheaper) DDR PC3200 stuff (512Mb, 400MHz, CL3) I linked from Tigerdirect, work? Would all memory slots need to match up? (i.e. would I need to replace the 512Mb stick already in there with something identical to any new sticks that go in?)

Also, the Crucial scanner suggests that I have three slots, while I thought I only had two. Is there an easy way to check this without opening the box up? The mobo model is a Sony VAIO PCV-RX850(UC) according to System Information. Oh, and while I'm asking pesty and annoying questions, how can a person tell whether a slot can take 1Gb or only 512Mb?

Edit: Sigh... once upon a time I knew about computers. Back in the days of my BBC Master.

the best part is when you shoot people 20 times point blank they actually die!

usually only takes 1-2 shots :)

I used to love paintballing, I played quite a bit but my modesty prevents me from telling you of my paintballing exploits :whistle:

Competition guns fire at 300 fps and can fire at over 20 balls a second, and when someone mugs you over a barricade from a metre away it bloody hurts, but not until after the day is over - too much adrenaline running to notice.

Interestingingly theres a famous Paintballing tactic that was deployed in the early paintball competition days around late 80's called - Dead Mans Walk.

Basically if your team was looking like you where going to lose, you would wait until an opponent called a paintcheck on you, you stand up as though you have been hit and walk towards the opposition (Dead Mans Walk) - though you haven't been hit. Then with arms down by your side looking annoyed, you walk past the oppositions skirmish line and then turn and shoot them in the back - obviously this only works if the deadzone is in the direction your pretending to walk too :D But can decimate a team if pulled off :narnar:

thats a nasty tactic, just to be sure to shoot em again if their hand isn't up,
you can't get in trouble for that can you? :P

(those who didn't know.. fps is feet per second)

i used to paintballl quite a lot, then i got asked to start marshaling at games so that experianced players could help keep things safe.

1) they gave me a nice yaellow coat which was a f**king paint magnet :sad:
2) marshaling 2 teams of 10 kids against each other and we had a bright idea "why dont you all for thew last game play against us 4 marshalls", bad idea ran round a corner staright into a load of them, counted the paint splatter afterwards, 41 paint splats on me, with 14 of them on my helmet and googles
and a few in the balls :sad:

bloody good fun thou :woot:

i love the marshalls, they're such good targets, if they realise they're in the way of a firefight they drop face first to the ground, i love their reactions :P
