Dont blame the computer Turbo.

It was never meant to handle the onslaught of 50 Rick Rolls a day. You only have youself to blame.

MACs are goodtimes but they are not good for someone who is not all the much into computers...

Personally Dell, HP, Lenova, and such are all the same these days...

If you buy any of them your first step when you get home should be to wipe the computer and rebuild it...If you dont do that you run the chance of later on having to battle a smithfraud virus...And they are nasty...They come in through the "Dell Help" and $hit like that...

You can get a nice external for around $150 - $200...

Or you can make your own for about $100 and it will be better then the ones you buy...You can buy a Seagate Hard-drive (prolly going to have to use IDE)...Then go to Best Buy, Office Max, Comp USA, ETC and buy an external case...Put it together (which would take a monkey about 15 minutes) and BAM external hard-drive for under $100...

Yeah I have a NIB 250GIG Seagate Barracuda sitting in my bedroom...Dont really have anything to do with it...I tried selling it but no one was biting...

i used to take HD's out of DVR's that would come back to the shop for repair and just hang on to them. had like 10 at one point in time. varying from 80 to 250 gigs. got a few motherboards out of the deal too.

I'm not having any issues with my lappy... and bet my 1 yr old Desktop can run it easily :p

the thing is just shot

i got reload several times in order to task bar an my icons to appear

so its done

any future computer buyers, *DONT BUY COMPAQ*

it may be cheap but you'll regret it

Reporting that memory is full is referring to you Hard Disk Drive not the Random Access Memory.
