The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I had a customer call me 3 days ago needing a high end wireless card for a computer that was going to be shipped to them and arrive tommorrow. I asked her if the PC was a laptop or desktop and she said "desktop". So I had a nice PCI card rush delivered and the customer called me again today.

The customer was told that the PC was completed with the exception of having sound. The "geeksquad" told the customer that they should tell me to be sure and purchase a pcmcia card if they wished to ever add sound which the customer just relayed to me today. I called the Geeks and apparently they sold her the Sony all-in-one piece of crap that is supposedly a desktop with laptop features when in reality it is just a laptop with no hinge to close the lid.

Before I ramble forever, my question is - Does anyone know of an inexpensive converter that would allow you to use a Desktop PCI card on a laptop (or at least this Sony "Alli in One" P.o.S.)
