    Ever seen those 70´s singers with two mics taped up together and wondered.....

    Difference in memory brands?

    I wanted to buy ddr 2700 memory and wondered if there was a difference between quality or performance between brands like Mushkin, Corsair or Kingston. Mushkin seems to be the most expensive and I found a good deal on Corsair Dimms. Is Corsair alright?:confused:

    Modeling technology: Give your thoughts and comments. This not Good vs Evil or a Poll

    I just wanted to start saying that it is amazing all the things that have been modeled out there, amps, cabs, mics and now Line 6 will put out a modeling guitar!!!!!!!!
