Re: [Simply Computers] Difference in RAM memory

Oh, boy oh, boy ..the second time tonight to use "frontside bus" in a post.

Since others have taken on the practical aspect of your original post I have truncated it to just one question (as seen below).

The number following PC2-xxxx is approximately the peak transfer rate designed into the memory. See link for more technical information and for such interesting facts such as why PC-5300 is often called PC-5400. Or why it may be called DDR2-667 (C or D).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR2_SDRAM

And on many machines the frontside bus is divided by the memory divider to arrive at the memory clock.

Re: [Simply Computers] Front Side Bus?....

Oh, but the bus doesn't stop for you. Without the Any Key you can't get on.

And, no, it's not a problem ... for me.

Re: [Simply Computers] password manager ?

Bill,

Lastpass is a form filler and password manager like Roboform. Keepass is
only a password manager (at least from their description). Are you clear
in your own mind what you want?

I've been using Lastpass for a couple of years and haven't had any real
problems. There are a few sites it can't handle, falling into 2
categories - those that are IE specific (I use Firefox) and those that
use some sort of Flash feature to input the passwords. The IE problem
can be overcome by switching temporarily to IE or by using the IE View
Add-On. I have about 100 passwords stored on LP and all the Flash
problem sites that bothered me have converted to some more friendly
input scheme. I still have 1 site that requires IE.

I wanted a form filler also, so went with Lastpass vs Roboform because
it was free. It does store your information remotely but does not depend
on that storage to operate since everything is also stored locally. The
offline storage is used to facilitate cross machine and cross operating
system functionality. Anything you change on one of your machines shows
up on all the others using the same account.

As far as being "recently compromised" - that's a little strong based on
this news report
<http://download.cnet.com/8301-2007_4-20060191-12.html>. But if you have
no need for multi-machine capability then an offline program is the way
to go.

I have previously used Password Agent
<http://www.moonsoftware.com/pwagent.asp>. There is a free version
available is you need 25 or fewer passwords. It's pretty straight
forward and everything is stored locally.

If you want only a password manager, Firefox allows you to apply a
master password to its saved passwords. I don't know if IE has a similar
feature or how strong this protection would be in either browser.
