I was wondering, I have a bag that I plan on using when I go away to college in the fall, it has two small circular magnets in the front that hold it shut... I want to be able to carry my MacBook in it b/c it has padding and is easy to carry.. My only fear is that the magnets would clear my MacBook or something... Does anyone know if I have anything to worry about with putting my computer in it or no? Thanks A Bunch!!

Hi, I am about to purchase a laptop, and it seems to have 802.11 a/b/g wireless thing. I also have a desktop at home with DSL connection. (SBC 2wire)

Anyway,

If I get my laptop, do I need a router and a wireless card for my desktop? Is there any other things i need?

And, is there any difference between wireless and wired connection? I prefer wireless but speed is the most important thing to me..

Any product you guys recommend (router/ wireless card/ any other thing, I prefer affordable gadgets, but if they suck, i don't want them-.-at all)?

I just installed Win XP 64-bit onto my new system. It containsa Geforce 8800 GTS PCIE video card. There is two DVI ports on the back to allow me to view 2 displays however i would like to have 3 displays.

I plugged in my 3DFX Voodoo3 PCI card expecting XP/64 to recognize it but it doesnt (it attempts to use Standard VGA but still fails to start it). I'm guessing it has to do with having a 64-bit driver rather than the new hardware setup. The videocard worked in my old XP/32-bit box.

Anyone knwo where to get a display driver that will work with this video card?

My house's current setup uses one cable connection for all the TV's and the one modem we have. Everything works fine. In one room, there's a wall outlet that is split off towards the modem and one of the TV's. Another outlet is in another room, with just a TV connected.

I was planning on adding another cable modem to the room with just the one TV connected using a splitter, much like connection used in the first room. I'm using Cox cable for my service provider. I'm not sure if it will work, and if so, if the quality of the connections will be the same/similar.

The reason for the second cable modem is to try and give the one room in the house wired Internet, over the current wireless Internet I have, so please don't suggest getting a wireless router.

Thank you in advance.

I absolutely hate these partypoker, empire poker, and "would you like to win $150 pop ups !!! URUghghghg!!!
I've tried spybot but it doesn't work. The worst thing is that the
partypoker virus thing actually takes a window that will be on a
site I am viewing and it "magically" switches it to the partypoker site every 20 minutes !!! Where does this virus hide and what is the name of it?
I've searched through my files and I just can't find the source of
this filthy trash. This party poker stuff should be illegal !!
I really hope someone can help. This is really getting outta hand.
Thank you !

I have two virus software protect on my computer. AOL security center which is free. And mcafee which has expired but from time to time it gives me warnings. Whenever I do a search with AOL it always say "everything is perfect" It even gives me a smiley face! Like :-)
But when I am shutting down my computer a mcafee window pops up at the last second it always says "mcafee has found an extremely suspicious file on your computer please do a scan" How the hell am I supposed to do a scan when mcafee has expired. Is it possible mcafee could be acting up, and maybe just doing that so I can renew the software? Which software should I trust? Please help because my computer is lagging like crazy!
