how cheap can someone build a decent gaming computer?
I’m thinking quad core (probably AMD) 6 gigs RAM and about 1-2 Tera hard drive with XP operating system…any thoughts, suggestions, or build lists from some techies out there?
How cheap can someone build a decent gaming computer?
(1) It depends on what you mean by "cheap."
(2) It depends on what you mean by "decent."
A Radeon 4870 will undoubtedly run some games. That’s pretty cheap ($100 after a $30 mail-in rebate).

The total price on this list is $571 (not including roughly $20 in shipping, or a $30 mail-in rebate on the video card).

If you have more money than that, the next upgrade increment over the above list would be to use whichever higher end video card still meets your budget (especially the Radeon 6850 or GeForce GTX 460 1GB), and possibly a second low speed 120mm fan for the front of the case.

Java, how to build a linked list in a sorted order by inserting the input to the correct position?
read in a list of numbers, how to build a linked list in a sorted order by adding the numbers in?
eg. if the numbers are 3 5 2 6
should first make a new linked list contains 3, then read in 5, add to the list, so the list becomes 3->5, then read in 2, add to the list, and the list becomes 2->3->5, finally add 6 in, so the list is 2->3->5->6
Thanks in advance
LinkedList list = new LinkedList();
while(true) {
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter in an integer to put into the list");
int value = scanner.nextInt();
for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++) {
if (list.get(i) > value)
list.add(i, value);
}
}
All of the methods are from the LinkedList class in the java API. If you’re supposed to create your own LinkedList class, then that’s a different story.

What is a good database software program to have to build a mailing list database?
An easy to use program is Filemaker Pro.
The more powerful Microsoft Access is also good but is harder to use.
