Hi everyone! So today, I went up and picked out a 4GB Corsair DDR3 1066Mhz RAM card, yadda yadda. So anyway, I take it home, and put it into my laptop, thinking that all will be well, and I can now upgrade to 6GB of RAM (Replacing one of the two original 2GB Kingston sticks with the Corsair). So I do just that, and when I boot up my PC, instead of telling me that I have the full 6GB, it tells me that I just have the 2GB from the remaining original stick. So, I thought nothing of it, just compatibility issues, I figured. By the way, I'm running a 64 Bit Windows 7 Home Premium, just in case it matters. Anyway, so I figured no big deal, I don't need the 6GB anyway, I'll just switch back to my original, manufacturers setup. Now, when I put my old, ORIGINAL 2GB Kingston RAm back in the exact same spot, in the exact same way, nothing happened. My system still only recognizes the 2GB! What have I done? Could anyone leave me any advice on how I could either get my system to see the full 6GB with 1 Kingston and the Corsair, or even the original 4GB setup? I have no idea why it wouldn't see that, but it doesn't now, and I don't want to be stuck with 2GB or have to pay $100 just so have some guy do 2 things and make it better! All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, everyone! So, I've watched a lot of Horror movies in my day, and played a lot of horror games, respectively. But alas, none of the Horror games that people ever recommend to me every really scare me. Maybe a little shock here and there, but nothing that ever makes me want to turn the lights on, or shut of the console, or has me thinking about it after the game is off. So, I was wondering if anyone had some games that they could recommend. I have a PS3 and a pretty powerful PC, so any games for either of those are fine, and also Wii. I just really don't think that there are any games that can scare me too much, and I really want to find one that does. Here are some games that I've played, that people told me were utterly frightening:

-Bioshock Series

-Amnesia: The Dark Decent

-F.E.A.R

-Dead Space

-Resident Evil series

-Silent Hill

Any input would be appreciated, so say anything that scared you, or especially anything that you were too scared to try! Thanks!

Hey all!

I was wondering how much data PlayStation Home uses on the PS3. The reason I'm asking is that we have a 25GB/Month plan with our ISP right now, and it resets on the first day of the month (December 1st) I just got an email form the ISP saying that we have used 70% of our allowance, which works out to be about 18GB. Now, when I work out the math, we should only have about 12GB used minus Home with some over exaggeration, which is this:

2GB for YouTube

2GB for Downloads/Updates/Virus Protection Definitions

2GB for browsing on My Laptop

1GB for data on one of my roomies (estimated, she uses Microsoft Outlook to receive about 10 emails every morning and night, some with pictures and documents)

2GB on PS3 gaming (online, updates, etc., although I've heard online is only about 100mb/hour max, and I've probably played a total of 15 in the month)

2GB for my other roomies laptop (basic web browsing, sometimes a site called Poptropica for his kid, which I would like to know hourly data usage for too)

1GB for iDevices and such on occasion.

So with what I have worked out, which seems generous and more than what I would expect, Home has used about 6GB over the month, which I have probably been on a total of 6 hours. Is this possible? 1GB/Hour. I could see it, with all of the characters loading, changing environments, and text chat, but a whopping 6GB? Please, I really need to know if it is Home. I do have a sneaking suspicion this Poptropica could use a lot too, but I'm not sure.

And the only reason that I care is that I alone pay for the data, so if it is because of Home I will either quit or pay an extra $20 for the 50GB, but if it is Poptropica, I might have to block the site, or request the 50GB just so everyone can use the internet worry-free!

So my friend has a game on his PSN that we want to put on my PS3. If I log out of my PSN, log into his, download the game, and then log back into mine, will it ruin my trophies, or his? And will I be able to play the game, or will I have to create a new profile on my PS3 and put it there? Thanks!

Hey there! I have a game-cube that my friend wants to buy, and since they are pretty old, I was wondering what I should sell it for. It is a platinum game-cube, and it comes with the original controller plus another one, a memory card, Metroid Prime, Scaler, and Pokemon Colosseum. It is in perfect condition, so I was wondering what I should charge him. He is more of an acquaintance than a friend, so I don't mind charging him what I would a stranger!

Hi there everyone! I have looked everywhere for the movie Rainman, but I haven't found it at one single spot! Does anyone know where I could go to download the full length movie with a good quality, without having to do pesky sign-ups or polls to enable the download?

Hi all! Just 2 days ago, I bought a second-hand Power Mac G4 QuickSilver (Serial Number M8493) which had worked perfectly. Then, i took it home, and began to customize it, and all was well. A day later, when I had went out and bought some ram to put in it, I happily switched it out, but when I went to turn the Mac back on, it wouldn't work! When I press the power button, it glows, and the fan starts up, but only for about 3 seconds, and then it cuts out. I had quickly checked all of the cords and power sources, and it all seemed fine. I reset the PMU with the button beside the battery, and even took the battery out to try and reset the PRAM, but it still gives the same results!

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? I only spent $200 on the computer, and the seller has offered me a refund, but I really want to keep it, so I need a free fix.

I need someone who has GTA 4 that I can play online with on PS3 to test if my game works properly. My Gamertag is Jolapo95, and the first person who adds me THAT HAS GTA 4 will receive best answer and 10 points.

My uncle has asked me to watch his 4 year old and his 9 year old for 6 days in a row. I will need to stay over at his house for 5 days, and while there, I will need to look after the 2 kids and his dog, as well as cook, clean, and occasionally watch the neighbor's child, too. The kids are sometimes a handful, but they are used to me, so I am not so worried. Also, he will be returning, but he is gone 10 hours a day. Since he is a relative, I don't want to rip off my uncle, but I also don't want to sell myself short. What should I charge?

A lady has asked me to look after her dogs while she is away, and she has requested that I contionuously stay at her house for 4 days (Friday to Monday), meaning I must stay 3 nights. She has 3 small dogs which require immediate and constant attention, as well as other important things. There is no other competitors, and she had asked me to name my own price, so I am wondering what I should charge? She has bought the food, so I will not need to purchase it myself, but the dogs require serious attention.
