Can I install an Intel Processor in a computer that currently has an AMD Processor in it?
I have an HP laptop. I has a AMD Processor in it. Could I replace that processor with an Intel Processor?
Can I install an Intel Processor in a computer that currently has an AMD Processor in it?
Not a chance...sorry
Can I install an Intel Processor in a computer that currently has an AMD Processor in it?
why would you want to do that? AMD processors are much more capable devices when it comes to performance, so unless your Intel is more than a year newer than the AMD, stick with what you've got.

What is wrong with my laptop!!!!?
When i turn on the laptop, the screen starts form the fujitsu page and then it moves on to the loading windows. But after the windows load, it immediately turn itself into a blue screen with words. Un fortunately, the screen quickly turn back to the starting point which is the fujitsu start up page before i can even read what was in it. And when it go back to the fujitsu start up page, the whole cycle repeats itself again... Sometimes after the windows load, the disk cleanup process starts. But most of the time after the windows load it would just go to a greyish page that have options like safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, last good configuration and start windows normally. I have tried everything!!! But it still doesnt work there was once when i tried the safe mode and deleted stuff that are unneccessary and was able to use the laptop again but only after using once the laptop has it problem again and now I cant do my work!!! I seriouly need advice!

Blue Screen of Death? Back up all your data if you can in safe mode and reformat. Tough break there
What is wrong with my laptop!!!!?
It sounds like your Operating System is corrupted. If this process is happening on a daily basis, let me suggest to you to perform a "clean reinstallation" of your Operating System by using your Recovery Discs. Place the recovery disc into your cd or dvd drive and turn off your computer. Close the drive and then turn on your computer again. It will automatically read the recovery disc in the drive and perform the clean installation. Hopefully, this will solve your problem. If the problem persists, it seems to me like there is something wrong with your motherboard. If this is the case, therefore, you need to replace your motherboard.

Setup for a new Toshiba laptop.?
I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A200-ST2043. Does anyone know a good resource to walk me through the setup? It never prompted me for anything.
Setup for a new Toshiba laptop.?
If it just came directly up to the desktop, I'm guessing the computer is a "return" to the store...
Someone must have already booted the laptop and agreed to the licensing agreement... I've never seen a pre-loaded computer where you didn't have to agree to the licensing terms for windows.
I have a Toshiba, but never booted to windows... The first thing I did was deleted the partitions on the hard drive and installed linux, but I'll still guarantee you if I *had* booted into windoze, it would have made me agree to the mickey-soft licensing.

I have an s-video port on my computer, Is there a way I can view what is on my computer on my TV?If so how?
Just connect an s-video cable to your computer and the s-video port on your TV. You will probably have to configure your graphics driver and reboot.

Is there any way to increase the storage space on a Macbook Air?
Is there any way to increase the storage space on a Macbook Air?
It has 80 gb, and Im not sure that will be sufficient...
Someone said something about an External Hardrive, but I don't know what that is or what it means or anything...
Is there any way to increase the storage space on a Macbook Air?
external hard drive is a hard drive outside your laptop. it's not built-in. u can also try usb flash drive, it's much smaller in size but also smaller capacity.

I keep getting a pop up that says that a "USB device is not recognized" on my desktop, how can I make it stop?
I believe it may have something to do with the fact that I have a broken USB port on my computer and there are no drivers installed for it. It doesn't matter that the USB port is broken I just want to make the pop up bubble go away and I can't figure out how. Please help :(
I keep getting a pop up that says that a "USB device is not recognized" on my desktop, how can I make it stop?
Well, the quick answer is.... stop using that port.
If you NEED a port and no others are available, you could always buy a peripheral with USB ports. They're fairly cheap nowadays and are dirt simple to install.
I keep getting a pop up that says that a "USB device is not recognized" on my desktop, how can I make it stop?
In windows xp you can go to,
Control panel/system/hardware/device manager
Under the universal serial ports link and right click on which ever one or all and disable the ports. If you need to use the port just go back and enable it.

I just got a new HP laptop. How do you take pictures with the built in webcam?
I can't figure it out :(
I just got a new HP laptop. How do you take pictures with the built in webcam?
Try looking for pre installed software otherwise you can download a video maker or capture software or even use windows movie maker to capture.
I just got a new HP laptop. How do you take pictures with the built in webcam?
The simplest way is to look for the pre-installed software. If you can not find any such software then when you open My Computer in XP or just Computer in Vista you should see an icon for PC Camera or something like it. Double clicking on this icon will launch Windows built in camera software. If you use Yahoo Messenger you should also be able to teleconference using the built in camera.
Hope this helps you and answers your question.
Reply:The software that came with it which is Quickplay and Cyberlink Youcam i believe.

Which Laptop should I get (i'm sure it's been asked before)?
I am a third year college student studying Advertising. I use and own both Mac and PC in my home. I currently have a HP laptop as my school computer and want to replace it but I am a little indecisive about which laptop to purchase. Given my budget, I've narrowed the choices down to either a Macbook or a Lenovo Thinkpad which all and all, both will cost about the same. Both laptops have the same processor speeds in them (2.4). The Lenovo will boast a Blu-Ray player and a 7200 RPM hard drive, while the Macbook will be the standard configuration. I love the additional features of the Lenovo (durability, Blu-Ray, matte finish screen) but I prefer the Mac OS over Windows XP or Vista. Which laptop do you think would be the better choice and what would you all go with?

Get a Dell Inspiron 1520
Which Laptop should I get (i'm sure it's been asked before)?
In my personal opinion even though it may not amount for much is it depends on your primary purpose for the machine. If you plan to play games then I would recommend a Windows machine such as the Lenovo, even though it is not optimized for gaming. The Macbook as is common for most Mac's that a lot of programs your school uses and many games are not programmed for Mac use. However a Mac can now run Windows as well using Crossover or Boot Camp which will allow you to boot both a Mac or Windows. Windows will run on the Mac some say it actually runs faster on the Mac then a PC other claim the vice versa.
I personally like the Lenovo's. When IBM sold the Thinkpad to Lenovo they swore to keep the same quality, durability, and support that has made the Thinkpad an industry standard for most companies.
However if you are known to be rough on laptops then you might want to consider looking at a Panasonic ToughBook. They are one of the most rugged, versatile, durable, machines I have ever seen although they are thicker then most laptops. The weight is about the same though.
Overall though since you have narrowed down your choices I would go with the Lenovo.
Reply:The macbook of course! OSX is a superior Operating System.
Also check out the Apple store website. You can get refurbished machines for about 15-25% off. You might have enough for a refurb macbook pro.
Reply:B*gger Blu-Ray - the answer's simple. Get a MacBook with Leopard and, if you really must, partition the HDD and run Winblows via Boot Camp.
Remember: - Vista is an acronym
Viruses
Intrusions
Spyware
Trojans
Adware
XP = eXtra Problems
Now, do you really want a craptop that's open to that lot...? No, didn't think so...
Of *COURSE* you love OS X - it's (virtually) hassle-free. What would you rather be doing: - using your lappy for the purpose(s) for which it was purchased, or spending your time downloading countless security patches via Winblows Update...?
How many times have you seen a BSoD on a Winblows box....? Compare and contrast that to the number of kernel panics you've seen on your Mac(s). The last time I saw a KP on any of my Macs, it was due to a buggy Tiger update, and Apple released an updated update just 36 hours later.
Until BR becomes the norm (and who says it will...? Toshiba and Fujitsu-Siemens (IIRC) are supporting HD-DVD) I'd be inclined to forget it. Things could, if the rumours I've been reading on sites such as Macrumors.com, change again. Things are by no means set in stone and I would hang fire on Blu-Ray for now.
Media is horrendously expensive. I've just had a butcher's at the site from where I usually purchase my discs (%26lt;%26gt;)http://www.svp.co.uk%26gt;) and a 25GB disc is 拢8 and a dual-layer (50GB) 拢22.90! For that price you could buy 78 Infiniti Samurai (in the opinions of many - including me - the best blank media on Earth) from %26lt;%26gt;http://www.medea.co.uk/infiniti/prod_inf...
Yes, 25 or 50GB is an impressive amount to be able to store on a single disc; but, look at it this way - what if that disc were to fail...? You'd have lost 25 or 50GBs-worth of data. If you were to spread it across 10 discs, the chances of them all failing are so infintessimally small as to not be worth worrying about.
Sticking all your eggs in one basket is NEVER a good idea when it comes to removable media.
And then there's the cost per GB (CPGB). Just picking a standard 25GB disc from SVP's site, it works out at 32p. For a DL disc, this rises by almost 50% to 46p. Compare and contrast that to the CPGB of the Samurai at 6p.
Besides, the Samurai discs come in six funky colours: - red, yellow, green, aqua, blue and purple.
By the way, the pedant in me insists on pointing out that a Mac *IS* a PC. ;o)

How can I get my mac's internet connection working in cafes?
My powerbook G4 never can connect to the internet connection at cafes and i noticed it said something bout the IP address when i tried to connect at a Blenz. It always connects at home or at someone elses home. Anyone help?

If it says that your IP is invalid or taken, it might be because you have a static IP set up. Apple %26gt; System Preferences %26gt; Network to fix it. If you want further help, I need to know a couple of things. What is the exact error it gives? Also, does this happen in all cafes or just this one?

Sleep mode on a Mac?
It's getting late and I'm getting ready to go to bed. Unfortunately, I'm running a virus scan that still has another good couple of hours left of it's scan. I really don't want my computer running all night. If I put the my Macbook Pro in sleep mode, will the scan continue to run?
Sleep mode on a Mac?
open system preferences and click on Energy Saver, set your sleepmode for or 2 or three hours and the display sleep for 15 minutes or so. Click on the schedule button and set your automatic shutdown for whatever time in the night you want your box to shutdown. Now go to bed and Mac will do the rest.
Sleep mode on a Mac?
When putting your Mac to sleep, the default mode is Hibernation Mode, which basically saves a snapshot of your machine and temporarily shuts everything down. So no, your scan will not keep going if you put it into sleep mode. Just schedule an automatic shut down or change the Energy Saver preferences so that it goes to sleep in a few hours.
Reply:The virus scan will likely be put on hold when it goes to sleep, and resume when it wakes up. Just to make sure, you could close the laptop for a few minutes and see if it has made any progress when you open it.
If you need to keep it awake, there is a little application called Caffeine that stays in your menu bar, you just click it to turn it on and off. You can download it here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/sy...
One last thing: Why are you running a virus scan on a Mac? It is very unlikely that your Mac will get a virus. The only virus I have ever gotten on a Mac was in a Microsoft (imagine that) Word document.

What do I need for wireless Internet on my Dell Inspirion notebook 1501?
I want to be able to go online without spending over 200 bucks for equipment
What do I need for wireless Internet on my Dell Inspirion notebook 1501?
Oh you're just a bad one aren't ya. Gonna make me earn this one. Well here goes. If your machine doesn't already include a wifi adapter, one can be purchased for your machine for less than you'd expect.
There are the ones I recommend because they work on every computer weather it's a laptop, desktop, mac, or Linux. These are the USB adapters. They sometimes include an extension cable which you can use to get a better signal by moving your adapter to higher areas of elevation.
The 2nd type is the PCMCIA. Your machine takes a PCMCIA Type 2 slot which means that you can buy a credit card looking adapter that slides into the side of your unit.
You also need a wireless network to connect to. You might need a Wireless Router. These are cheap and I suggest a Linksys router for your first router.
Oh Prices, I almost forgot.
You can buy your wifi adapters off eBay by looking for the brand ZONET. These are about the least expensive as you can get. Ypu can get the USB adapters for less than $20 and the PCMCIA ones for like $25...
As for your RAM, let's see, your machine takes PC4200 which is DDR 2 but your machine ca run off PC5300 as it will step itself down. Try this price ;)

The easiest solution is to buy a Wireless USB Adapter or PCMCIA Wireless Adapter Card. There are several different brands to choose from and they aren't too expensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis...
If you're trying to create a way to use wireless internet in your home, you will also need to buy a wireless router and plug it into your broadband modem: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory....
If you want to add more hard drive space to your computer, you will either need to get a new internal hard drive, which can be very expensive and difficult to install in a laptop, or buy an external USB or Fire Wire hard drive, which is very easy to use: http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory....

My HDD stopped working, how can i get the information out cheap?
I have a Samsung Spinpoint F1 Terabyte drive (HD103UJ) and it was working fine while i was transferring files to ix up some issues on the hdd i was originally working on. i was slow about moving things back thinking i had a nice new back up and it just died on me. The disks don't want to spin anymore, bios won't recognize it, and it's trapped all my files. I'd rather get it to work again, but any options for data recovery that are cheap?
My HDD stopped working, how can i get the information out cheap?
Stuff's NOT cheap at all to get data recovered from a burnt out drive, even if it is retrieved, it may be corrupted and doing this runs from about 200-500$
I know exactly how you feel, loosing all of my data SUCKS and its happened to me about 2-3 times now.
Now i have a western digital passport to back up all of my data on
My HDD stopped working, how can i get the information out cheap?
I wouldnt give up on it yet. Try purchasing an inexpensive 3.5" SATA hard drive enclosure. It connects as an external drive via USB. You may get lucky by having a working drive to recover your data.

Does a local Printer keep a memory of things printed?
I have a small little black-white text printer that I use off-line to print out important documents that I don't want to keep on line. However, I also use this printer when I travel on business and use shared network connections. So, can the stuff I printed at home a few days ago be accessed by my colleagues later or once you print a document does it disappear forever from the printer memory or que?
Does a local Printer keep a memory of things printed?
The printer does not store print jobs (most printers) unless this is a feature built into the printer.
Once you send a print job from your computer to the printer, it is temporarily saved to the printers memory. Once the job is printed, it is purged/removed from the printer memory and isn't saved for later printing.
Commercial model printers have the ability to save documents such as OCE, HP and Xerox, but most consumer printers don't.

I am getting ready to buy a new computer and I need some help.?
I am looking to purchase one from a store rather than from mail order because I am an instant gratification type of person. I don't want to spend more than $700.00 on a system, of course less is better. The only things I use a computer for is surfing the net, syncing MP3 players and playing ALL my Sims 2 games. My current PC can't handle the games too well. In addition to those things I would also like to be able to burn DVD's as my current PC is not equiped with a DVD burner. So that being said, what kind of systems do you suggest and where can I find it.

(Let me say I agree with these guys, just update your pc you have now cause your going to get vista if you get a new pc...I have vista, it's like rolling a dice when you buy a new game...
You never know if it will work and freakin vista eats half your memory anyway!!!)
STAY WITH XP And just upgrade your pc, you just prob need a better video card and more ram, which cost way under 700 for a GREAT video card and 4gb ram, that will run the sims 2 great

Reply:you could just add a dvd burner and more memory to your current computer. Buy an external dvd burner. With adding the memory, people in stores will help you! And you won't have to buy a new computer =)
or buy a new computer, don't go to best buy! that's all I say!
and MACS are the best computers, seriously. But you can't get one for 700, unless you get a refurbished one.
Reply:You just need to find a local computer shop to build you a computer. I can't really tell you what to buy on a budget of $700, but I can tell you what to stay away from.. Stay away from anything that says Celeron and stay away from Vista. Good luck.
Reply:you dont need to buy a new set of computer... just update your current PC... thats all i can suggest to you if u dont like to spend much....
Reply:Hi, i would suggest before purchasing a new pc, contact a pc vendor and tell him what you want from pc.
it is better to reconfigure your pc with new hardware %26amp; software tools then a new pc.
Reply:Try to assemble the system with some basic components that support your activities.
1GB ram, Intel Dual core, TFT Monitor, DVD Burner , 2 speaker music system with a sub woofer and a web cam should not cost you more.
Reply:I would suggest this Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop:
http://www.dell.com/content/products/pro...
Configure it with E2200 2.2ghz dual core CPU and 2gb memory, 250gb hdd, Intel onboard graphics, 19" monitor. As for the gaming, buying a graphics card from dell is a ripoff for a bad card. Don't bother for upgraded vista versions. Too bad it doesn't come with XP.
A Sapphire Radeon HD 2600XT will serve you well and play just about any game (though a few new UBER intense 3d games like Crysis will push it to the limit). If you deviate from this card, make sure you get the GDDR3 version, or you will get a significant performance hit. The GeForce 8600GT is pretty similar but a lil more expensive and a lil better. Again, get the GDDR3 version, forget how much memory.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...
Pretty much you just shut down, pop the case open, stick the card in the slot, boot up, and download and install new Catalyst drivers from ATi's web site.
I think that's a pretty good deal and should be ideal for pretty much any app you want to do.
Reply:play games , burn dvds,
destop will burn dvd faster rather than burn in laptop...and it runs faster either u wanna play game or not...
best buy / circuitcity these two place are top choice to buy around ,,,u dont like it change it over but dont forgot in 2 weeks.
ps( i have burn dvds for long time ago but i know last time i do it i spend over 1hr- 2hr at laptop ... only less than half hr in destop...)
I am getting ready to buy a new computer and I need some help.?
CIRCUIT CITY
(Let me say I agree with these guys, just update your pc you have now cause your going to get vista if you get a new pc...I have vista, it's like rolling a dice when you buy a new game...
You never know if it will work and freakin vista eats half your memory anyway!!!)
STAY WITH XP And just upgrade your pc, you just prob need a better video card and more ram, which cost way under 700 for a GREAT video card and 4gb ram, that will run the sims 2 great

Dell XPS laptop touchpad won't work when playing World of Warcraft...?
My computer is fine until I run World of Warcraft. After logging into the game with any character, the Touchpad stops working UNLESS I hold down any key. It is still fine at character selection screen and doesn't happen until logged in with a character. The first min or two of game-play is ok. Then the cursor lurches across screen and quickly dies.
At random times, and often, the character will auto-run forward without numlock on. It happens when holding down any key and using the Touchpad. It somehow triggers auto-run.
After closing the game, the touchpad will stay like that for 10-20 min and then it will be fine. While still affected, web pages will auto-scroll down if I press and hold the Space bar and use the Touchpad.
It seems like the keyboard and touchpad combo has some other setup when it gliches out like this. Can't find a way to stop it or reset it as of yet. Been trying FN and F1-F12 presses, to no luck yet.
Dell won't help now that my warrenty ran out.

My computer is suddenly super slow!?
I have a dell xps m1210 notebook computer that I've have had for about a year now. Its always worked well until about 2 weeks ago. I was drinking orange juice and spilled maybe about a drop onto the keyboard and suddenly my N,B,/?,and space key don't work. Well I got that dust off stuff and sprayed the keyboard and lap top for cleaning in hopes of improvement. Well I think I screwed it up even more because its super slow now. I deleted and uninstalled tons of files and programs, did a virus scan, defragmented the system and still no luck. It freezes and takes forever to load things and the sound is delayed too. When I sprayed the comp it sprayed cold ice liquid to it which cause it to make this "sizzling" noise. Also the battery has been completely dead for like 5 months now. Notebook only functions when plugged in. Any advice or ideas? Thanks!
My computer is suddenly super slow!?
i think something short circuited.. but.. possible the ram got fryed lol, thats why its slower or maybe the CPU
My computer is suddenly super slow!?
sounds like the juice dried up between circuits and is causing a short. the easiest way around this is a new keyboard.
Reply:Turn off your laptop and start pressing EVERY key on the keyboard several times, make sure all the keys are bouncing back at a similar speed. One of they keys could be stuck down, which could be making your computer run crazy. The "sizzling" noise is normal from the air spray, its just a chemical reaction.
Borrow a USB keyboard or buy a cheap one and see if it makes a difference. You might want to try and unplug the laptop keyboard 1st, that'll be another project itself.
Reply:SOMETIMES MANY ITEMS ON DESKTOP SLOWS THE SYSTEM OR YOUR HARD DISK MUST BE ALMOST FULL AND RAM IS LESS

Can I simply delete my photos after putting them onto an external hard drive?
I just purchased an portable hard drive (Western Digital, My Passport, 250 GB). I have never used one of these things, and it came without many instructions. Is it really that simple? I dragged 'My Photos' folder into the 'My passport' icon on 'my computer' it took a while because I have thousands of pictures. Can I delete them from my computer now?

Yes you can delete external hard drive live big pen drive you can simply attach to your pc and do any things copy, paste, cut no problem.
Reply:Yep... go to Start. My computer. After going to My Computer, you will see a list of items stating 'removable disc' etc, once you see one or a thing stating the letter J, click on this and it will take you to all photos uploaded from a source or outside source (such as camera, etc) and let you delete those photos completely or in general. Hope this helps.
Reply:yes but disconnect the hard drive first, last time i erased my pics for some reason it also erased the pics on the hard drive and the same thing happend with my music so just to be on the safe side disconnect it then delete them.

My computer is making a ghostly noise...why?
every now and then my computer makes a halloween sound like a ghost going "OoOoOoOoO" its annoying and i dont know what it comes from

Reply:maybe your computer just has a dusty fan or its haunted or someone was messing on your computer and added that sound when you do something as a joke
Reply:Sounds like a fan problem. Also sometimes a hard drive will make a racket. Is this a new computer?
Reply:This could be caused by several problems. A dirty fan for one. If you are somewhat capable shut down your computer, unplug it open your case and look for dust on the fan blades. Look especially on the fans on the main processor and on your video card if so equipped. If you see dust wipe it off with a slightly damp towel. Make sure it is completely rung out before you do this. Before you put the case back together turn the computer on and see if you can determine where the sound is coming from. Quite a few times the hard drive will try to spin up and then slow down real quick. If the sound is coming from the hard drive immediately once the computer boots back up your crucial important files as your drive is probably on the fringe of seeing the grim reaper. If your computer has slowed down any recently then this could be your culprit if it is making the noise.
Hope it is only dust on the blades, but if it is your drive hopefully you were able to back up your files in time. Wish you luck.

Is connecting a VGA cable to DVI adapter to video card, better than straight to VGA port on card?
No, the two signals will be the same. The adapter is designed to convert the DVI signal into VGA, so you will not get any benefits of a real DVI connection with this method.
Is connecting a VGA cable to DVI adapter to video card, better than straight to VGA port on card?
No,either way it will be an analog signal.

How do i fix the blurryness on the computer screen?
i just noticed this but my sisters called it out a while ago. the computer screen looks blurry.
what can i do?
How do i fix the blurryness on the computer screen?
Hmm you could try a number of things:::
1. Wobble the monitor cable going into your computer
2. Take the cable out of the computer and blow the dust out and put it back in
3. New monitor
It might even be a problem with your graphics card so if none of those above work then its most likly going to be that
Good Luck!
How do i fix the blurryness on the computer screen?
If you're using Windows try turning on Clear Type in the control panel. What type monitor do you have?
Reply:If you have an LCD monitor, you may be running the incorrect resolution. Go into Control panel-%26gt;display-%26gt;settings, and make sure the screen resolution matches the resolution of the monitor (this should be printed on the box or in the manual of the screen, or you can google the model number and find the specifications). If you can't find the monitor's resolution, increase it using the control panel until it looks better. You should to only one step at a time, because if you go outside the monitor's range, the screen will become unreadable (although when trying a new resolution, Windows will ask you if you want to keep it, and if you don't hit OK within 15-20 seconds, it goes back to the old resolution)

USB card reader not working right?
I have a usb card reader for a micro-sd card and I plug it in and it does the whole autoplay thing... it's the card for my phone, and I opened it and then tried to preview one of the pics and then it said that there was no drive in that space and now thats all it sais, I can't even look at what's on the card anymore... Someone please help... I really want the pics off of that card... it sais that there is no drive inserted in drive F which is where it is located when I plug it in... So yeah... It's worked before, many a time.. just now it started screwing up.
USB card reader not working right?
If your card reader is one of those that plug directly into your motherboard via USB pins, double check that you plugged it the correct way in. Other wise I suspect your card was damaged. I usually put the card into the reader AND THEN plug it in. This may sound stupid, but have you restarted your pc with the reader and the card in it... if not... try that.
USB card reader not working right?
To recover your files you can download a flash recovery program. I think your partition file was overwritten. Then reformat with a flash format program. Just search flash format free demo.

What are the advantages of installing a firewire card on a computer?
You can use Fire Wire devices, obviously.
The most useful thing being done with firewire is probably capturing digital video from video cameras (like those used for home videos and such). Then you can edit it, put it on DVD's, put it on Youtube, whatever.
What are the advantages of installing a firewire card on a computer?
Firewire has a slightly quicker data transfer than USB and for certain types of interfaces there is less latency. Especially in audio from what I've noticed. If you are not a person who is really demanding of your computer then you shouldn't worry about it. But if you have a lot of usb instruments and devices that you use that have a lot of latency issues then I'd suggest it.
For instance I run an external soundcard and i plug in my guitar through a mixer to record it into my computer and I also want to be wearing headphones to monitor what I am doing, well from the strum of the string the signal has to go through my mixer, then through my soundcard, then into my computer be recorded and loop all the way back to my headphones and before with a usb soundcard I would get a noticeable and disturbing delay that would make it almost impossible for me to play something decent and know it sounded alright. Now the delay is short enough with my firewire interface is not really even noticeable.
I don't know the actual data transfer specs between usb 2.0 and firewire and which one is technically faster, but for what I do, my firewire device works way better. I also have tons of USB stuff I still use though. USB is perfectly fine for most things I use other than my soundcard.
What are the advantages of installing a firewire card on a computer?
nothing. i have one built into board and never used it.

Not sure what you mean by single socket and dual socket. Do you mean the dual socket skull trail?
Well Skull trail is very expensive, power hungry and not practical for most users.

Im looking for a motherboard that supports a pentium dual core E2160 and has agp support?
can anyone help me
Im looking for a motherboard that supports a pentium dual core E2160 and has agp support?
This Asrock motherboard is actually pretty cool. It supports both PCI-Express and AGP, DDR and DDR2 memory, and all the latest CPU's. It's a great transition board. Unfortunately it does have 4X PCI-Express, but that isn't terribly detrimental, probably a 10% performance loss at the very max, should get get a PCI-Express 16X video card.

Should do the trick nicely. And it's cheap.

Could this laptop run mass effect?
The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite X205-S9810 and has intel core 2 duo 2.0 GHz and a Nvidia Geforce 8700m GT graphics card.
Could this laptop run mass effect?
the official requirements are:
--------------------------------------...
Operating System = Windows Vista or Windows XP
CPU = 2.4+ GHz Intel; 2.0+ Ghz AMD
Memory = 1 GB (XP), 2 GB (Vista)
Hard Drive Space = 12 GB
Graphics Hardware =NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or higher, ATI X1300 XT or higher
So it will run as I also have X205-S9810 %26amp; I have been playing MASS EFFECT since it has been released...
Just make sure to disable antivirus application running in the background...And the game will run smoothly.=)

Will I be able to run Crysis on the highest quality with my hardware?
I have an Intel core 2 quad q9300,
a G31t-M motherboard,
an 8800GT alpha dog extreme,
4GB of RAM,
500GB hard drive
and a DVD-ROM drive.
Will I be able to run Crysis on the highest quality with my hardware?
No. NOTHING can run Crysis at highest settings at an acceptable framerate :P.
(You'll be able to run it but it may be a bit slow at some sequences).

Yes u can run it in highest setting with no problem.

Reply:No, you will get about 20fps.
http://link.brightcove.com/services/link...
That is almost the same exact card you have, except yours is clocked alittle bit faster. This one got 19fps, yours should get the same, or a tiny bit better. 20, 21 at best.
Under 30fps is considered poor for gaming.
30-60fps is considered average.
60+ is good.
That should give you an idea of where to adjust your game settings for best balance of performance and detail.
If you listen to that video, even the best nvidia and ati cards are only getting 24 fps..
crysis is a very demanding game. You will need a couple 9 series in sli, or ati crossfire to get high detail levels.
Reply:No. The only card that comes CLOSE right now is the 9800GX2. Both the GTX 260 and GTX 280 should be able to do it when they come out in a couple weeks however.
Reply:not on MAX. no way jose.
crysis is old now anyway. im playing mass effect.
Reply:It all depends on the resolution, 1280x1024 you will be able to, but at 1920x1200 you can't. Also 20 fps seems like 40 in crysis because of the motion blur.

How do I fix a http 400 and http 500 errors on vista ?
i am going crazy i bought this new $800 computer with vista and myspace and youtube was working and now this http 400 and 500 errors crap what the frack
How do I fix a http 400 and http 500 errors on vista ?
Error 500 is internal server error. So your computer would have nothing to do with it. Error 400 is a Bad Request. Mostly likely also due to the server.
However next time by a Mac :)

CS
Bioshock
FEAR (and Extraction Point)
WoW
Halo
Company of Heroes
Call of Duty (1, 2, 3 and 4)

Is there such a thing?
is it possible that when a laptop crash was because of a paricular user that i log on to because when i log on to other users, the laptop did not crash.
Is there such a thing?
yup sure. why not? it could be that there is some startup program that is triggering a crash in that specific user you're taking about...
Is there such a thing?
Yes, this can happen if a startup program under that user's account is causing the problem. Could be related to corrupted drivers, watchdog files or viruses.

maybe its cuz of sum file that it loads wen u log into ur acc and that file screws up the laptop

Is there a significant difference betweena processor with 2.5GHz 6MB L2 cache, and 2.1 GHz 3MB L2 cache?
I am buying a gateway tablet, and I am trying to configure the processor before I purchase it. It costs $162.00 to upgrade from the 2.1GHz to the 2.5 GHz. Is this a good deal? Also, please explain what cache is and if there is much difference between the 6MB and 3MB cache.
Thanks
-gogov93
Is there a significant difference betweena processor with 2.5GHz 6MB L2 cache, and 2.1 GHz 3MB L2 cache?
The 2.5 is 20% faster. Depending on what you do on it makes the difference. If you are gonna web surf or do a word document then the difference in price probably isnt worth it. If you are gonna do video or play games then get the faster one.
Is there a significant difference betweena processor with 2.5GHz 6MB L2 cache, and 2.1 GHz 3MB L2 cache?
Yes, the 2.5 GHz/6MB one will be quite a bit faster. Cache is temporary, fast storage for the processor. The more you have, the more your processor can have data that is quickly available within arm's reach (its cache) as opposed to going in the other room to get it (RAM/hard drive).
$162 is not a great deal though. It's probably average. But if you've got the money, I would definitely recommend the upgrade.
Thanks

How can I connect my laptop to TV?
Your TV must have an RGB input on the back. If you have an LCD flat panel tv, you will probably have this.

whats the model?? U'll be provided with a cable having S-video option.U can just connect it to the TV from your laptop.
How can I connect my laptop to TV?
While is is possible to display the contents of your computer screen on the TV, you may not be very happy with the overall picture quality and the text is not very readable.
If that is no concern, here鈥檚 how to connect your computer to a Television set (we used an HP Tablet Vista computer and a Sony Bravia HDTV for this example)
First you need a video cable for making the physically connection.
Most computers have an S-Video port that can be connected to the S-Video input of your TV screen using a very cheap S-Video cable (it鈥檚 round with 4 or 7 pins).
For better picture quality, you should connect the computer to the TV using standard VGA ports or via the DVI to HDMI cable provided your TV supports these ports.
Open the "display settings" in your Vista computer and activate output to the TV screen. You can either mirror content of your computer on the TV or extend the display just like a dual monitor screen.
3. Pick up your TV remote and switch to "External Inputs" from the menu. You will need to change the default "Video 1" to a different selection which may be "HDMI 1" or "Video 2" depending on how you have made the connection.
Important: Make sure you connect the cable to the TV before turning on the computer as sometimes it may fail to recognize external display.
You may also need to change the screen resolution of your TV using the Display settings in your Control Panel else the picture may appear distorted.
Reply:There are two main ways to make a connection between your laptop and TV.
The fisrt one is creating the connection through a S-Video cable, the cable's port may be found on your laptop and TV, the priority is your laptop or TV must be supporting the function.
The second way is that the connection can be done by a adapter which you may buy in your local store of computer parts %26amp; accessories .
Are the above two ways to give your significant help?

Anyone feel as if the Mac Mouse control feels off and uncomfortable?
My Mac mouse gives me problems all the time. Not only does it feel awkward in my hand because it is too small and not exactly like the PC mouse(You do get used to that though) it also malfunctions. I am not the only Mac owner that has the same problem. My roll ball fails on me so I can not scroll up or down with it and sometimes it feel as though I loose my mouse pointer on my screen at times. Your mouse is covered if you bought the warranty. Check with your warranty and have them send you a new mouse. You can also buy another mouse for your Mac if it has a usb. Good luck

Upgrading my RAM?
Hi. So I have a Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop with 256 MB of Ram (32-bit Windows XP Home Edition SP2) 2.2mghz and i want to upgrade the ram to 512 MB... My owner's manual says that the maximum RAM my pc can hold is 512 MB (minimum is 256). However, the laptop only has once socket (in which the 256 MB ram stick is already installed). What should I do to upgrade? I cannot just buy another 256 MB stick, because there would be no place to put it... so would it be alright to just buy a 512 MB ram stick and replace the 256 one with the 512 one?
I just wanted to make sure that it would be ok to stick the 512 stick in the same place the pre-installed 256 stick is...
Thanks!

Exactly. Replace the 256 with a 512 and you'll be set.
Reply:take your computer to the dealer and ask whether the new ram is compatible. also i recommend getting 750 MB or 1G, because window easily eats up 512 MB. you might be able to plug in your new ram in the store to see if it works.
Reply:Yes, buy a 512 mb stick and replace it with the 256mb stick. Make sure the new RAM is compatible with your laptop prior to purchasing it.
Reply:It should be alright replacing the 256mb stick with a 512mb one, as long as they have the same number of pins and are the same type (DDR SDRAM, DDR2, etc).
Reply:yes it would be alright to put the 512MB stick where the 256MB is...
Just make sure that the one u replace with has the same frequency as that of the older one
EXAMPLE:
==========
Suppose the the 256MB that u have works at 800mHz
then the 512MB one should also rated as 800mHz
/****
CAUTION!: Always upgrade a laptop hardware from a authorised DELL reseller or upgrade online that way u will get assured of quality...

Upgrade computer vs. buying new?
I have a 4 year old dell desktop. I have upgraded it over time and it now has a rocking 256mb graphics card and 2gb of memory. It has an old 1.6ghz processor so I am wondering. Can I simply buy a new intel processor and be rockin, or will it be of huge benefit to me to buy a whole new system? I have just started taking classes on website development and graphic design so I want it to be able to excel for multimedia applications. Thanks for the help!

Too slow if it is Prescott, single core or earlier
Reply:Time to buy new...
Your ram, although 2 gb, is probably slower than the newer ones. The new video cards, require a new compatible motherboards.
Err, at least you can keep your hdd.
You could go for a "skeleton upgrade" which they give you the case, motherboard, and cpu. If your ram is still new, you can throw it in, along with you hdd. Saves some money.
Reply:its tough but you can def. use some upgrades. do whatever is cheaper go to this site here www.magic-micro.com and build a custom one and see how much. i just build a custom one from there with top of the line everything except for motherboard and gpu (graphics processing unit) for $850
Reply:I would just upgrade, but you could also buy a laptop for the road and use the old PC for work at home.
Reply:From a guy who builds computers for a living, take it from me and buy new. First off, you can't just buy a new processor and start rocking because your motherboard's chipset won't support them. I'm quite sure you're running a Pentium 4 system and all the new Intel systems run the Core 2 Duo processors. Secondly, if you're going to be doing graphical applications, you may be looking into a dedicated graphics card which would require a PCI Express x16 slot. Likely, your older system still uses AGP ports. Thirdly, your older system is probably a native DDR2 533 on the RAM, if it's running DDR2, at all. Newer systems will offer at least 667mhz or 800mhz. Finally, the LAN on your motherboard is probably 10/100Mbps. If you're running a good high-speed connection, you'd see a great benefit from running on a Gigabit LAN chip.
Buying new, you can get a computer that is perfectly acceptable for your needs for around $500-600 without a monitor. With a monitor tack on another $150. Upgrading, you may be able to find a used processor, RAM, and AGP graphics card for around $100-150 total and you'd still be running a significantly worse system.
Reply:I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and MS Visual Web Dev 2005 for graphic design and web development. Opening them both make my pc slows down and it's pretty annoying.
Considering my spec's are 256mb gcard, 2gb ram and pentium 4 3ghz. If you're going to use these apps. I suggest you sell that old pc of yours and buy a new one. Hope it helps.
Reply:surely u'll be better off buying a new system , coz
1) even if u purchase a new mother board that might not be compatible with the other components of your system
2)there can't be any substantial performance increase by just increasing your ram also your motherboard is so old that a new processor might not be compatible for it amd can result in system crash
3)with price of core 2 duo and even core 2 quad now
becoming very low u would be better off buying a new one ,or else wait untill sep till intel comes out with 8 core processor
4) for graphics design atlest 2 ghz is required for optimum performance depending on your software

Likely, your older system still uses AGP ports. Thirdly, your older system is probably a native DDR2 533 on the RAM, if it's running DDR2, at all. Newer systems will offer at least 667mhz or 800mhz. Finally, the LAN on your motherboard is probably 10/100Mbps. If you're running a good high-speed connection, you'd see a great benefit from running on a Gigabit LAN chip.
Buying new, you can get a computer that is perfectly acceptable for your needs for around $500-600 without a monitor. With a monitor tack on another $150. Upgrading, you may be able to find a used processor, RAM, and AGP graphics card for around $100-150 total and you'd still be running a significantly worse system.
Reply:I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 and MS Visual Web Dev 2005 for graphic design and web development. Opening them both make my pc slows down and it's pretty annoying.
Considering my spec's are 256mb gcard, 2gb ram and pentium 4 3ghz. If you're going to use these apps. I suggest you sell that old pc of yours and buy a new one. Hope it helps.
Reply:surely u'll be better off buying a new system , coz
1) even if u purchase a new mother board that might not be compatible with the other components of your system
2)there can't be any substantial performance increase by just increasing your ram also your motherboard is so old that a new processor might not be compatible for it amd can result in system crash
3)with price of core 2 duo and even core 2 quad now
becoming very low u would be better off buying a new one ,or else wait untill sep till intel comes out with 8 core processor
4) for graphics design atlest 2 ghz is required for optimum performance depending on your software
PS3 on Laptop w/ ExpressCard TV Tuner?
Hi everybody, with my new computer I ordered the AVerTV Hybrid NanoExpress ATSC tv tuner. I have already hooked up my satellite just fine through Windows Media Center, but I was wondering if there was any way possible to hook up my ps3 to allow gaming on the laptop screen and possibly allow the ability to record onto the hard drive. The description on the products website claims that it has the ability to connect gaming consoles to the computer (is it only xbox 360?). I have tried with no success to make the ps3 show up on the screen. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Which board is best gor gaming ?
Gigabyte GA-965P-S3
Intel DP35Dp
other items are
Quad core Q6600
4 Gb DDR2 800
G force 9800 GTX
22" LG Wide Screen
gaming and entertainment
Which board is best gor gaming ?
Personaly here is my opinion. That Q6600 is an amazeing processor for the money, but i have had very little luck with gigabyte boards. Lots of people like them, but I just bought an Asus P5N-D from newegg.com I think it was around 200 bucks and it runs great with that Q6600, and it is also sli ready. I currently have it overclocked to 2.8ghz with a lot of room to go farther. (3.4 has been attained with the stock cooler, but thats takeing a large risk 3.2 is all i would expect to get if you plan on staying stock)

Question about S-Video hook-up frtom computer to TV?
I have a Dell E1505 laptop and an older Samsung TV. I wanted to run a S-Video cord to TV to watch movies. I believe I already had an S-Video cord hooked up before, yes, but the problem is they are very small holes like for earphones or more precisely, like my ps2 wires or hook-up. Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do?
Question about S-Video hook-up frtom computer to TV?
Another good site to try is Firefold.com. I have purchased all of my cables from them in the past. They have extremely good cables for cheap. I bought a vga cable for my projector 50' for like $16. When I got it the cable used was extremely thick high conductivity cable that costs upwards of $100+ for name brand like Monster. I have also bought s-video cables and adapters and other RCA cables for audio. All are super products with good contacts and premium quality cables. I would recommend you check them out.

How to backup folders on my laptop?..?
i am planning to rebot my laptop completely and would love to retrieve them afterwards
Thank u
How to backup folders on my laptop?..?
If you don't have a lot on your system you could get a flash drive. That is a quick and easy way. If your using windows xp use the transfer wizard to copy your files or the entire disc to a flash drive or cd.
How to backup folders on my laptop?..?
If u just wanna reboot your laptop, why you should backup your folders on it ? If u wanna format it, or total re-installing OS on it, yeah u would backup it..

LCD defect is still covered by the warranty?
A white line appears on the LCD of my Presario V3431. I was hoping for a free repair since I bought it just 9 months ago. Where will I turn to for the repair?
LCD defect is still covered by the warranty?
You can go to the store where you bought it. Usually, they have a record and a warranty agreement with their supplier, just like we do with them (store). Since, it's just 9months old, you can return that (should be) free of charge. Warranty usually lasts a year, unless agreed otherwise.
LCD defect is still covered by the warranty?
The store you purchased it from should be the ones sending it to the repair centre for you. They should also give you a loan phone to use in the mean time.
with the free repair, yes lcd defects are covered under warranty unless the defect was a result of physical or liquid damge. It doesnt sound like it was physically damaged so I doubt you'll be charged, however if it was your looking at paying anywhere between $90 and $150 for them to replace the LCD.
Hope this helps, all the best!

What's the difference between refurbished apple products and new ones?
I'm planning to buy the macbook pro. Actually, I wanted the new macbook pro but it's very expensive. So I somehow considered the refurbished one. In the internet, refurbished product owners often say how good their refurb macs are, but since they are as good as new, why is there a big difference in price?
What's the difference between refurbished apple products and new ones?
refurbished products are just products that were used before that might've had something wrong with it. Thus, having it repaired and now selling it again. It makes it seem brand new because the items they replaced it with are new.
What's the difference between refurbished apple products and new ones?
i guess its like a car, as soon as its driven off the lot the value depreciates.
Reply:WARNING: Never buy refurbished products
the difference between them is that new ones contain genuine software %26amp; hardware.
there may be a difference in price but never opt for refurbished ones as they are similar to ones lying in a trash bin.
Refurbished products are usually defected and/or used ones
which are fixed partially so as to appeal the customer to buy them...These type of products usually boot into the OS %26amp; when u try to install any app. the system reboots or get any other error....
So I highly recommend that u buy original ones...
Reply:new is new from the factory. refurbed is one that some one owned. and the factory cleaned them installed new os and programs. like going to buy a new car or a used one from a good car company. so they about 92% as good as a new one. just cheaper cuz it aint new. hope i helped

Xbox 360 graphics cad?
is it posable to take an xbox 360 graphics card out of it and put it in a computer if so could someone tell me how or have tut page on how to do it also wat graphics card does it have inside of it
Xbox 360 graphics cad?
I don't believe the 360 graphics card is removable.. I do know the HD is though. I can't tell you exactly how, however if you check the website in the source, I'm sure that will answer more questions you might have.

NON SYSTEM DISK ERROR, please help?
My computer is a Compaq and when I try to start it up my computer says "non system disk or desk error, replace and hit any key". So I checked all the USB places and the flobby disk drive and the CD drives and they were all empty, and it still shows up. What should I do? And if it has something to do with a BIOS thing, what is that and how do I get there? (Please be specific, I don't know much about computers.) Thanks a ton! :)
NON SYSTEM DISK ERROR, please help?
Check to see if you have an MP3 player plugged in or an external drive , jump drive etc. This is common when you have something removable plugged in. Usually always a drive of some sort. Mp3 players would be recognized as a mass storage drive .
NON SYSTEM DISK ERROR, please help?
when start computer press del to mov to bios then press f3 this will detect ur harddesk if get same error send ur harddisk to related company for repair
Reply:This should explain what happened and how to deal with it.

Reply:Cool.. 1st check all your i/p and o/p cords( cords connecting keyboard, mouse and monitor). If you have an operating system (like XP or vista) then check whether your computer starts automatically! Then there is no problem with your OS. If this situation exists just call the hardware engineer to open and check your system...Then ask him to re install the OS. Even if probs persist call compaq customer support center!!!

it all depends on how old your laptop is. it could just be that the laptop screen is dead. YOu don't have to drop it of damage it for it to go sometimes they just go.

Which computer company should I build from?
I like to build custom gaming computers online. And doing this I get see what I want and compare. I've checked out Alienware, Ibuypower.com,Voodoo, Uberclok, cyberpowerpc.com. But how do I know I'll get what I paid for? Did anyone buy from these sites? I want an alienware computer cause there lighting is amazing. And Uberclok is all over clocked pc's for cheap. But I need help for which one to buy from. I heard a few things about Alienware on there customer satisfaction. Dell just looks to spendy and plus all those stupid crap preinstalled. cyberpowerpc and Ibuypower look cheap. Anyone know which one is the most reliable?

cyberpowerpc is one of the most reliable and well built gaming rigs online. Great prices too.

Is my laptop overheating?
I'm currently using speedfan and everest ultimate (not at the same time).
Speedfan says both of my cpus are running at approximate 42C
Everest Ultimate says they are in the upwards of 60C
I'm just browsing the internet by the way. Should I trust speedfan?
Is my laptop overheating?
yes!
you should be careful those things can catch on fire!
and my brother had to get a new battery!
Is my laptop overheating?
that doesn't seem too hot to me... my macbook pro cpu gets up to 90C sometimes.
Reply:No, speedfan may read 15 C off, you need to compensate.
Try coretemp, it will be same as Everest.
Laptop CPU temp is fine, hot above 80C (core sensor)
Limit is usually 100 to 105 C (spec sheets)
Reply:Yes, most computers/laptops have built in cooling systems, this along with speedfan will keep your laptop safe and cool.
Reply:ya.. plus as long your pc dont get in fire.. it fine,,
normal laptop like my will go over 80 or 90.,..but keep it cool will run everything smoother
Reply:Never trust speedfan %26amp; everest or anything that tell u your cpu temp.
It is common to that laptops get overheated when used for gradual amount of time even tasks like surfing the web can make your cpu temp. rise
to avoid such thing always use computers in a room where a air-conditioner is present that is the only thing you can do...

even at 60C is not so much of an overheating. I know people who have computers that runs at 80C and goes fine.
40C-60C is healthy
Reply:yes
Reply:Are you placed your computer in an air conditioned room? Then don't worry about its processor temperature and all. Usually these soft wares are making some alerts like that, just to show that we are on work.

yup...shouldnt be a problem. if you want to get a 500 to be on the safe side, thats kool but i wouldnt go any higher...thats wasting precious energy resources ; )

You should be able to run it if you have a free pci-e slot available. 450 is just enough to run the card plus everything else on your mobo.

Is there a GeForce 8400gs 512mb card ?
I saw a geForce 8400gs 512mb graphics card but on the nvidia site it said that there was no such thing ... Just wanted to know if there is indeed a dedicated 512mb card or if it is 256mb with 256mb of shared mem ... Also is the card any good ?? I am a gamer but not too many high level games ... FIFA mainly and maybe a couple of FPS' but not anythin remotely in the range of the latest call of duty and so on ... Thx in advance
Is there a GeForce 8400gs 512mb card ?
The 8400GS is too weak to use 512MB effectively, so it doesn't matter.
Is there a GeForce 8400gs 512mb card ?
I have the 256 mb one on my laptop and I think it works perfectly. I play some games also, and the quality is pretty good. I quite like it, so I think it would be worth it. I don't know about the 512 mb one, never seen it before.
Reply:I yhave got 256mb dedicated geforce card and i love it, i was asking the same question as you about 2 weeks ago and researched heaps and found 256mb is the highest. If you are thinking of buying one definatly get geforce! fantastic quality and will run fifa perfectly.

My laptop wont read my usb external drive?
try running it through run (ctrl+r) and type in /E or /F or wherever you placed your flashdrive.
My laptop wont read my usb external drive?
Right click on My Computer and hit Manage.
In the new window, go to Disk Management.
Locate your usb drive. It will be listed without a Letter mapped to it. Right click on the drive and select change/assign drive letter.
Use any letter not being used.
Reply:right click my computer and click manage
click the disk management and see if you can find(visually) your external drive there... right click on it if it's there and select "change driver letter and paths"
assign it a different letter.

Why the procesors Intel QuadCore Q6600 is so much expensive?
Because people are willing to pay for it.
Why the procesors Intel QuadCore Q6600 is so much expensive?
Mainly because the chip is still somewhat new and costly to make. The more cores you put on a chip, the more expensive it will be to manufacture it.
Why the procesors Intel QuadCore Q6600 is so much expensive?
expensive comparted to what?!?!? try pricing the intel quadcore qx9650 ..over $1000 the 6600 is only $230
Reply:It's new and fast. I still remember when Pentium 4 3Ghz was release, it's pretty expensive, you can buy a whole new pc on it's price. Anyway, this quadcore has four cores equivalent to buying 4 separate single core processors. That's why.
Reply:It isn't really very expensive at all. In the UK where electronics prices are expensive its only 拢130. Now compare to other quad core processors and you will see that it is an amazing deal.
Reply:It is only $200. A Really fast quad core for $200 is not expensive. It also supports G0 stepping for easy and stable overclocking.

AMD Quad core is about $200 too - the cheapest AMD quad core. IT is no where near as fast as the Q6600 or Q93XX

CD Drive Wont Play or Read CDs?
This happened before but I dont remember how I fixed it. The computer is a Window XP, HP Pavillion mx70 and only occasionally it will read disks. I even tried those cleaners for it (CD with bristles) but it wont read that either. What can I do besides buy a new computer?
CD Drive Wont Play or Read CDs?
plz get your lens checked from the service centre ,one more thing you can do ,check if the connections are at the right place
CD Drive Wont Play or Read CDs?
You dont NEED a new PC....you need a new drive....they are relatively simple to install.....go out and choose one to your liking and rock on! You can get a burner as cheap as 30 bucks these days if you want to step up to a more functional drive.
Reply:Hi,
Most probably your Disk drive could have crashed or done. You purchase a new one. Also whenever you are asking some questions like this please try to mention about the life span of the device and the brand name.

Choosing a video card.. help?
Ok so i only play World of Warcraft and i get really crappy fps, about 8 fps in cities, with integrated graphics. i can only spend about 20-30 dollars on a video card(i know, im cheap). i just need something to give me some more fps so i can actually enjoy my playing time. Ive bee look at the sapphire x1550:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...

Choosing a video card.. help?
You can't really get much, if not anything, with $20-$30. I would get either an 8600GT or 2600XT. These cost around $40-$80 depending on the company, sales, and mail-in-rebates. These aren't the best price-to-performance ratio cards, but they are the cheapest "good cards" that I know of. I would save for just a little longer and invest in an 8600GT or 2600XT.

Laptop screen won't work!?
I have a Satellite Toshiba laptop and every time I turn it on I can hear everything working, but the screen won't turn on. At all. I have to take out the battery to turn it off since pressing the power button has no effect.
So pretty much. I press the power button. Motors whir and make sounds like normal. But screen remains off.
Help!
Laptop screen won't work!?
LCD screen is dead. Attach an external monitor to verify your laptop's status. LCD screens have a limited lifespan. The backlight is the first thing to fail on an LCD screen. If it is still under warranty send it in for repair.

The LCD fluroscent bulb is bad or dead....it can be changed only by high skilled techicians or you need to change the LCD. Before doing that connect the external monitor to check if other components are working

How do I enable the onboard video card so I can run three monitors on a system?
Got a brand new HP desktop and I initially thought I was going to only run 2 monitors on it, but I changed my mind. I now want 3, so I went and got another video card with dual DVI instead of the single DVI HP sent. The thing is HP never enabled the onboard video card. How do I enable it so I can run a total of 3 monitors at once?
How do I enable the onboard video card so I can run three monitors on a system?
Simple answer is you cant. If you enable onboard vid, the add on card you have will automatically be disabled. Your only recourse is to add another video card and then its a guessing game that it does what you want.
How do I enable the onboard video card so I can run three monitors on a system?
Go to device manager, find it and double click it.At the bottom of the box that opens up it will say device usage,enable it there.If it's not in device manager you will have to find and install the drivers for it.I just reread your question, if you have dual DVI,you don't need onboard enabled.You can run both other monitors from the new video card.

Windows 2000 doesn't detect that it's a MS mouse if i use a PS2-Multi-PC Controller, so the scroll button does
not work... :(
I use W2K %26amp; a MS IntelliMouse Optical %26amp; a PS2-Multi-PC controller. With an adapter from USB to PS2 to the controller. At the computer back side another adapter from PS2 to USB (the modern PC doesn't have PS2 ports).
I used both IntelliPoint5 and v6. But when i open mouse in the control panel, it says: 'Some settings might not work until you connect a Microsoft mouse to a USB port on your computer or set up a Microsoft mouse that uses Bluetooth technology'. There, a stupid ad for Bluetooth mice and a spelling error, but this error information doesn't help much...
I think the multi-PC controller would just send ALL signals through, but apparantly it isn't... Is that solvable?
If i use the same mouse directly on the USB-port, the scroll-button works. If i use the mouse via the controller, it doesn't. That's the problem. I HAVE to use a multi-PC controller, otherwise i need 4 mice since i have 4 computers connected at the monitor. I can't have 4 mice on my desk...

My Windows XP wont let me choose standyby mode?
My computer crashed, and after re-installing windows xp it works again, but won't let me choose standby mode, therefore my laptop wont go into standby mode after being idle for a while. Its sucking up my battery life and is really annoying. I can only choose log off or shut down, and the yellow stand by button is sort of "shadowed" out and unclickable. Help please!
My Windows XP wont let me choose standyby mode?
I had this problem and I know it's exact solution
It's 100% working
Use the motherboard driver CD and install your graphics card drivers.
If not possible
1. Go to start menu
2. Type dxdiag
3. Press Enter
4. Go to display section
5. Look at the top left corner
6. There you will find the name of your graphics card
7. Try googling for it's drivers
8. Download and install them
9. Reboot your laptop
10. After reboot choose to turn off your PC
11. You will find the stand-by option enabled
My Windows XP wont let me choose standyby mode?
power options - in display properties. adjust setting
Reply:You have not installed your motherboard drivers, have you?
If you have not, it is the main reason. If you have used a standard XP CD for reinstalling windows instead of the laptop's standard recovery, then your mother board is not installed properly.
OR there was a problem installing the motherboard drivers. Try reinstalling your mother board drivers again.

How can I format my hard drive's all partition?
My PC is suffering from virus bcoz whenever i want to isntall program like Ms office and nero ,the window of this program shows for few second and then disappears.Any who have solution of this kindly provide me!!!!
and also regardiing formatting of drive otherthan the right click method!!!
How can I format my hard drive's all partition?
Download gparted: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download....
Download the LiveCD and use a program such as IMGBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=dow...
to burn the ISO to disk. (Both of these are free and open source). Then put the disk in the drive and restart your PC. Boot to the disk (You may need to go into the BIOS or Boot-Menu to boot into the CD). Once Gparted starts you will see all your partitions. Just select them one by one and press Delete. You can then choose to make one large partition or whatever you want. When you are done make sure you tell it to Start the partitioning. Its pretty self explanatory. Hope this helps.
How can I format my hard drive's all partition?
other than right click method. you can format you drives by going to command prompt and typing:
FORMAT %26lt;drive letter%26gt;:
If you have 4 partitions:
format d:
format e:
format f:
to format the primary drive where windows is installed, use the windows xp installer and during installation you can choose the format option when prompted.
Reply:Hi, use a DOS floppy or cd and when it boots up type fdisk and the third option is deleting partition.
however if you are intending to reinstall windows you can format your drive while you are installing.
Reply:You can repair your OS for removing all the virus but all your data remains intact....
boot with OS cd.
press enter/F8..
press R for repair.. and continue with the instructions as it gives.
this will definetly remove all the viruses from your system.

Would this computer run Crysis on its highest settings?
Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core Processor QX9770 OCed to 4.0 Ghz
4GB corsair Ram 1800Mhz(DDR3)
3x Nvidia Geforce9800 GTX 512MB Xtreme Plus Edition 750 MHz
Asus Striker 2 extreme Nvidia Nforce 790i Ultra SLI DDR3 Motherboard?
Would this computer run Crysis on its highest settings?
Yes and No.
This is for Quad SLI and it doesn't factor in the Crysis AI engine because AI is disabled in a timedemo benchmark.
YOu'll notice the SLI 8800 Ultra plays the best at 3MP

http://www.i4u.com/full-review-431.html
That rig will play any other game just fine though.
Since the 9800 GX2 is about $470, it would be cheaper to get two of those (I think they SLI as well).

Power supply experts, can you help?
I'm in the process of upgrading my HP Pavilion into a gaming computer. I have the a6228x model, and plan to add 1GB RAM (Totaling 3GB), case fan, 8800GT, and a new power supply. I am completely stuck on the power supply.
First of all, I only know that I have to get an ATX, not an ATX 12V (difference?) I've been looking on newegg and in my list of ATX's I found a couple that were ATX, ATX V2.2, and ATX V2.01. Is there any difference between these?
Also, my motherboard has a 24-pin power connection, but my 250W stock power supply only has a 20-pin connector. If I get a power supply with a 20+4 pin connector, would plugging in the extra 4-pin damage or enhance my performance in any way?
Also, any good reliable companies? I went through the site and I narrowed it down to like, 10. You don't have to pick one out, but if you could, could you remove any eye-catchers as possible problems? Thanks in advance. Please I need an answer, especially about the 24-pin. 10 points to best answer.
Power supply experts, can you help?
All the ATX v2.2 and v2.01 stuff are just different standards in power supplies. You should also buy a PSU that is at least ATX v2.01 compliant or higher. These are made to be backwards compatible with older systems that have only a 20-pin power connector.
I recently got a new PSU also with a 20+4 connector, although I don't know how it was plugged in considering my dad installed the PSU.
One good reliable company that makes power supplies is Antec. Although you may not see Antec listed as a manufacturer on the search in NewEgg, go ahead and search "antec power supply" in the search bar. It will bring up all power supplies made by them. Hope this helps. :)
