Intrepidation

Macs suck. I'm using one now at school...a G5 and it's slower than my PC...

The other advantage of building a computer is that all the parts are standard fit, and so are cheaper and easier to upgrade or replace than factory built computers like Dells, since they use specialized parts that make them a bitch to upgrade.

That's a major ripoff now that I look at it. For comparison...my computer. 256 Ram? Unacceptable in todays computers...most come with at least 512. is that even DDR Ram or older SD Ram? 40 Gigs isn't much, again by todays standard...and HDs don't cost much. When I built it initially, it had an 80 gig Hard Drive and my compaq's 40 gig HD, 512 MB DDR Ram, CD Burner/DVD Drive, Windows XP, 2 USB ports, an ATI Radion 2600 series graphics card, and an AMD Athlon XP 2700+ All that (including buying Windows XP and a tower) cos me roughly 600, and it'll run circles around the Dell. Last X-mas I upgraded to 1 Gig DDR Ram, Asus nVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics card, switched the motherboard from a crappy Chaintech (never buy Chaintech hardware) motherboard to a ABIT MB, and went from 2 USB ports to 8 in the process. This cost me about $250 (gfx cards are expensive). This thing is easily better than 95 percent of the computers I've used, including Dells, Gateways, and G5s. My point is that Dell is ripping you off. Sure, you get a monitor (only 14.1"?) and a free printer, but the very thing you wanna replace is what's being cheaepned out on. Avoid Celeron processors...they're junk. If at all possible, you should consider building one or have a friend build/help you build it. It's fun and pretty easy. I built mine on a budget, and it runs great. If you wanna improve your computer experience on the cheap, slap a gig of Ram into your comp, get a new HD of at least 50 gigs, get a copy of Windows XP, and get a decent gfx card. It'll run 10 times better easily. If any of this sunds appealing and you'd like some help or advice on computer stuff, just lemmie know --- On another note...I'm planning to build a new computer, so I can render with 3D Software better and play games at max settings....ooh the things I plan to do.

I hate Dells. They feel slower than their specs suggest, and they have all kinds of weird glitches. Try looking at an HP or a Vaio. Also look for models with AMD not Intel. AMD is overal superior, and usually cost less. Me...I prefer to build mine.

I could be wrong but I don't think it's fake. What I find appealing about Acura'sis their pricing and value-per-dollar. You get a lot of standard features at a reasonable price. You can tell with the release of the RDX and MDX that Acura is getting more serious. From what I hear the MDX is quite a good handler and is pretty damn fast too. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drive...rticleId=116651 So if nothing else, the RL can be credited for it's AWD system, which benifits newer Acuras. As for the RL itself...it's plan and pointless since you can get it's V6 in the TL Type-S...which is a more nimble, better looking car.

Wow that sucked hard.

Why not just fix the car? You say you like it overall, and from tehother thread about the Impala it sounds like an electrical problem. Why not just fix it? It's much cheaper than an a whole new car. I agree it should be covered by the warrenty. Oh well.

Blue Screen of Death here it comes! The wosrt part s these patches cost money!

So if the Malibu is still on Epsilon when is Epsilon II coming out and on what car?

<-- Download music.

Exterior I'm still kinda iffy about, but I love the interior.

That Ram is badass!

The concept and production pics by each other just further proves that the concept is so much sexier and better looking than the production model. I will forever dislike the G6 cuz the concept was so much better. I would so have bought the concept...I wouldn't be caught dead in the actual car. Oh well.

I would say it's easily on par with the GMT800 but deffinity not the GMT900 Escalade. I saw a yellow Maserati and a black Mazda CX-7

Ugly as the Solara? No? Boring as a slice of bread? You betcha!

It's not, same interior as `04 but the gauges look new. The ccar looks ok until you get to the C-pillar...then it goes to &#036;h&#33;. I've always liked the headlight designs though. No and you Jil should be shot for saying such blasphemy

It looks like the concept did. An improvement but I still don't care for it. If only it looked like the original Compass concept.

Did you get a glimpse of the Malibu's interior? Does it have the same corporate stereo or something new?

Right. I've seen ok reviews on it, but nothing special.

You and me both

That's crazy, no one will compain about the lack of power now...it's almost overkill! In the best possible way of course!

Sounds exciting! If only we could see them sooner So the Equinox SS and Torrent GXP are rated gor 275 hp? Holy crap Batman! That will eliminate complaints about the lack of power for sure!

Gotta agree with that. She should be grateful she gets a car. If she's a new drover she shouldn't be getting a new/expensive. If she wrecks an cheap car then it's not a big deal.

I hear ya man, we had a Dodge Aries station wagon...that sucker was bullet proof. Only broke down once...in our driveway...needed a new altenator. We ended up junking it only cuz the body got so rusty...but we saved the engine and put it in a Spirit. That car ran until the day we had to get rid of it...which I wish we hadn't. It still ran and everything. Sigh...I miss that car...
