I'm not much of a computer genius, so here's my question: What does all the letters like gm and stuff stand for? What is good? What's better? I ask this because i went looking at computers yesterday and i don't really understand what all that stuff means. I wouldn't want to buy a crappy computer! Wink

Kalena,
In what context was "gm" used? Could you post the sentence, or the ad for the computer?

Sorry, i don't know what i was thinking. It wasn't "gm". It's GB, which i know is gygabytes or something like that. I'm an idiot when it comes to telling what makes a computer good. Roll Eyes
