The Computer Megathread

[Momentum]

For some reason I can't watch videos or listen to music in-browser. I'm running Chromium on Ubuntu 12.10. Any ideas?

didnt someone else have a question like this, but not on the computer megathread? it might be ubuntu or chromium.

What happens? Does Chromium just crash or do you get no sound?

I can't load .mp3 files (the player just buffers endlessly), and the YouTube video player claims that every video is currently unavailable.

I'll update Ubuntu and see where that gets me.

Is this a better deal put together than the parts I have already considered in this thread?

I have 4gb ram and I'd like to upgrade to 8gb. Could someone link me to what to buy? Preferably on Amazon UK.

you need the exact same memory that you already have in your computer

Or replace the old one.. right?
This one seems fairly cheap (70% off). It also comes with a heat spreader, which is nice.

Im planning on just building my own online from Walmart.
I decided on:
AMD FX-6100 Processor
4GB x 2 Memory
500GB 7200 Hard Disk Drive
AMD Radeon HD 7700
Is that any good?
