Increased gas mileage in Canada

Also, if you are at a higher altitude, the air would be thinner, and potentially you would get better gas milage from less air resistance. I'm curious to know how much effect that really has on gas milage. It would be higher at higher speeds. I drove for about 300 miles straight about a month...

Possible Hottie - Compaq Presario 2800 1.6 $1600

Is it ok to drink beer after hard stuff?

Drinking alone is ok, every once in a while. If I can't get anyone to go do something on a nice friday night or something, and am feeling a bit lonely, I will have a few drinks. Once those hit, I just lay down in the bed, all nice and relaxed, and just surf the internet. By that time, I don't...

Do you mind eating dinner in restaurants alone?

I mind. I wouldn't go into a nice restraunt and eat alone. To me, that is a waist of money. I usually only eat out for the purpose of eating with other people. Fast food is a different story. I eat that stuff in my car alone all the time. I don't see the need to go into a fast food...

Remember that you will void your warranty, and if you got the 3 year warranty that would not be a good idea. well, as long as you keep your old processor, if the computer breaks, then just put the old one back in. Thats what I would do at least. But I don't have the 3year warantee, and I am...

The video ram is *NOT* upgradeable unless you have some extremely l33t soldering skills. Also, I doubt Compaq is going to sell you individual memory chips and you'd have to find out what to change (it isn't exactly going to have jumpers) in order to get the core to recognize/use the extra RAM...
