I'm thinking of buying a larger RAM (1GB). My computer had space for two RAM cards and the one I have at the moment is 512MB. In total, I'll have both of these cards working giving me over 1 1/2GB. Will this increase the speed of my computer?

hi
i was watching a movie that suddenly my computer freezed.
then i restarted my compuer but it did't boot at all.
usually when i boot my computer, it beeps and then my windows starts. but at now it starts but it doesn't beep and doesn't show boot screen at all.(i.e monitor doesn't show anything) then i checked my monitor but it was working on other computer.
the power is there in the case and fans of cpu and Mainboard and Graphic card are working properly.

what can i do?

I was wondering which is more important, memory or memory type, would 512 mb ddr2 be better than a 256 gddr3?

I'd appreciate some insight on the whole topic, what is the significance of ddr2 and ddr3 and what does G mean when added to either.
Also, how do i know if my motherboard is compatible with gddr3 or ddr2?
Thanks

Im a student looking to get a Macbook for school. There is an Apple Store opening near me in August. So I was wondering if any1 knows if they offer any discounts above and beyond what I can get from their online store. Do they offer any grand opening specials that are exclusive to that Apple Store? Can I save more money by buying my Macbook at the newly opened Apple Store as opposed to ordering online?

Now before you are too quick to reply with the obvious, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND that the internet is literally millions of networked computers and there isn't one computer that is some kind of internet master computer.....REALLY, I get that. A few years ago, I happened to catch 20/20 or Dateline where they showed the viewers these enormous supercomputers underground and they told us that this is where the internet is located and even made reference to monitoring content and viruses and stuff. Where are these huge supercomputers? Is there really a main internet gateway of these supercomputers? Offer a link if you can.

Some time ago I got a message from Windows that said my virtual memory was too low and that it was increasing my page file. I looked up this error on Google and found out that it could be a memory leak. It made sense since my computer works well for about an hour until it decides my time is up and completely freezes while I'm in the middle of using it. I looked in my task manager, and pretty much every program I was using was guzzling up memory like it was a memory eating contest. Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger, iTunes, and even Windows Task Manager have all started increasing the virtual memory that they're using from the moment I start using until I finally close the program. I've seen IExplorer go up past 1,000,000 K VM Size, I've seen MSN Messenger go past 500,000 and I've seen Task Manager go up to 300,000. When I close the program, the program resets and starts using a normal amount of VM again, but starts using more and more as it goes until the computer freezes. Help!

I have windows xp pro in my laptop. I was working for a company and they set it up for their protection, with many security locks.
I have left the company and their TI would not help since I am not their employee anymore.
Is there an easy way to open the xp pro so that it will act as xp ?
Also is there a way to reinstall xp pro without loosing most of my data and programs?
Thanks

Does anyone know of software that will make it look like you are still using a web page so it does not log you out due to inactivity. I have a web page I need to keep up, but it logs me out after 10 mins of inactivity!
