After Pat Metheny said of Grasso "" The best guitar player I’ve heard in maybe my entire life is floating around now, Pasquale Grasso. This guy is doing something so amazingly musical and so difficul t." people on the jazz guitar BB are tying themselves into knots with praise. He h...

I think I've read that Windows Update intentionally puts a big load on available memory---so you may well never use more in any other task than the 3.25 you used during updates. I've never had more than 4 and I've checked my usage probably once a week for the last 10 years. I'm not sure I've ever s...

Did you notice that your 667 Mhz RAM runs at a mathematical 50% of the Front Side Bus clock speed? That is a harmonic resonance. I would be curious to see some test results comparing your 800 Mhz vs 667 Mhz, based on this FSB speed. That's a little over my head. I finally turned automatic updates b...

OK, I'm getting the picture. My cpu is 3ghz and 1,333FSB. My motherboard supports 800mhz memory.I've never seen it use over 2GB. Therefore I will just use the 4GB of 800mhz instead of the 6GB of 667. Maybe the memory glitch loading the update was caused by no memory chip in the first slot as require...

Well my two new 2GB each memory sticks came yesterday. They were suppose to be the exact same thing as my 1GB sticks but alas they were 800mhz instead of 667mhz. A Google search lead to others asking this question; What is better, 4GB running at 800mhz or 6GB running at 667GB which is what mine woul...

For proper CPU dual channel operation the 2GB RAM modules should be on the same Channel. Not like you have it now. Normally the like colored memory slots are on the same channel. Not like you have them listed. That's what's confusing, My colored slots are as I have them listed above. One black and ...

I think the correct way would be like this; 2gb stick in channel A, DIMM 0 (blue) 1gb stick in channel A, DIMM 1 (black) 2gb stick in channel B, DIMM 0 (blue) 1gb stick in channel B, DIMM 1 (black) That looks correct - same size stick in same color slot. It's explained in this document. Thanks for ...

Ok, I just purchased 2 sticks 2GB each. The 2GB sticks were cheaper than the 1GB sticks. They are the same as the two Kingston sticks I have installed now except they are 2GB instead of 1GB. My motherboard has four slots, one black and blue pair are DIMM channel A sockets and the other black and blu...

Thanks, guys I'm learning a lot. First I've learned a lot of 32-bit people are wasting money on memory. Anyway my motherboard is an Intel Desktop Board model DG33TL with a Intel Core 2 Duo e8400 processor. 64-bit instruction set, 1333 FSB. Maybe the Windows 7 64 bit was original after all. At least ...

Along with the additional memory, there are couple other things to consider. First the make/model of the PC would help to determine what you have and its capabilities/requirements. Second, if this has a 64 bit OS installed, the 2GB is even worse as a 64 bit OS uses more of the available memory than...

Good advice on the memory. I've only used this PC two days but I swear it acts like it needs more memory. I'll have to have a look inside and see what my options are. Should I try and do the failed update in Safe-mode or just do it under the normal boot? I made a recovery disc last night. I guess I ...

OK I bought a newsed PC with a fresh install of Windows 7. I started loading my documents and a few basic programs like Adobe pdf reader, Open Office, and Mozilla Firefox. I used it all day and everything worked OK. During the day it made several Windows updates. Last night it tried to make an updat...

It's interesting that they had so many "and friends" as band mates. There is also the connection to Derek and the Dominos. Four members of that band were previously "friends." I've seen the video in the OP. Lots of talent. I've always liked Stax recording artists and Delaney &...

I still have the first Matthews Southern Comfort album released on UNI in England in 1970. Did yours include "Woodstock" Andy? I have a Southern Comfort album with Woodstock on it. I think it's "Later That Same Year." I also have his solo album "Valley Hi" which includ...

My first albums purchased or borrowed were Groovin' by the Young Rascals, Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival, and the Live album from Grand Funk Railroad. I eventually ventured out and listen to most types of music including most of the albums listed. Except Hocus Pocus by Focus. I've never...

Those are cool, how do you download one to your pc? In the past I remember right clicking on the file and "save target as" and select where to put it.

OK, I went back and see there is a "download" button when you select a song to play.

I see jazz simply as what you get when you (finally) go beyond ordinary music. 8) However, it seems most players and listeners never travel that far. That's the way I see Jazz although ordinary music is wonderful too. I've heard Jazz as if one is playing his instrument and floating down a river. Th...

All I can think of is they introduced country music to the Pop Music crowd that might not have otherwise listened to it.
Did each one introduce country music to a certain group of listeners?

Back to the original complaint, this article in The Atlantic describes how the biggest hit songs today have nothing to do with musicianship. Few of us old guys pay any attention to that kind of "music", but it is still a very big business. Wow, that's an interesting read on the music indu...

Frijid Pink's version of Rising Sun was my favorite especially in the early seventies. I went to see John Fogerty last night. Even a few of CCR's songs sounded country such as "Lookin' Out My Back Door. I was always a fan of his "Blue Ridge Rangers" two albums. I think there is some S...

Back in the seventies when I listened mostly to LP's, the end of side one was my cue to wake up and turn the album over. I had a friend who had a turntable that allowed programming only the tracks you wanted to hear. I hardly ever listened to an album from start to finish as it is a long time for li...

What are some all star concerts, tributes, or just really good band DVD's along the lines of Roy Orbison and Friends; A Black and White Night?

Perhaps some of the singer-songwriters like Bill Morrissey or Guy Clark.

I've never noticed the chucks or clicks before on Someday Soon but now that it's been brought to my attention, I'll probably always hear it. I just listened to it and it was a little distracting. I wonder if it's suppose to simulate truck tires as he is driving in tonight from California? Some songs...

I've always found the guitar produced wolf whistle on Steve Miller's "The Joker" annoying.
