PC hardware is the easiest thing to master; there are only a handful of different options!!! Everytime I go into BestBuy or Circuit City to take advantage of a slickdeal (www.slickdeals.net) I am amazed at how stupid their salespeople are... bunch of dunderheads. The last time I went in I was looking for heat spreaders for my RAM... the kid says "why would you want to spread the heat on your RAM, you should add more fans and blow onto the processor".. I shoulda kicked him in the balls! :-) What a dumbass the computer guy is… PC hardware is the easiest thing to master; there are only a handful of different options!!!

Have no fear that I will definitely do complete research and arrive at the store with specific model numbers from now on. However, the tech guy at the store should just know that you can't put a P4 in a Celeron motherboard, without having to do research to tell which motherboard is which, because, well, that's his job. I say "should", because that's obviously not the case. But whatever. Yeah, yeah.
