A guy I work with was telling me this. I guess if you get stopped at 130 KMH (80 MPH) they take your car and your license and leave you right there with nothing, and something like a $1,000 fine to boot...? 50KMH=31 MPH+62MPH=93MPH. A bit more than the 80 I mentioned before.

But they are getting pricey, too.

Your MB requires low density RAM. I know because I went through this with a Compaq Deskpro EP that had a slot 1 (SECC-2) Pentium 2 350MHz that I upgraded to a 500 MHz P3 and 768 MB (3X256) of PC133 low density RAM.

A bit more than the 80 I mentioned before. Not sure about that math... all I know is 150 km/h = 93 mph When leaving Ontario for the Michigan border (Sarnia), I finally realized I had a km-to-mile converter staring me in the face. 50 km away? 50 km/h = about 30 mi/h... units of "per hour" cancel... 50 km = 30 mi! I felt really silly, especially after I had been doing numerous "divide by 1.6"s on my cell phone calculator between Buffalo, NY, Toronto and St. Thomas. Michael |
