I'm going to get a laptop in a couple of months. What would you suggest for a high school student? I've been leaning toward getting a Macbook.

Ok so where can i get this thing for myspace or other sites for videos, so it has a bunch like a playlist of videos but in one box so you don't just have a bunch of videos taking up space on your site.
It's kind of hard to explain I guess but if anyone has a link or code that would be great =]

i did a full system recovery on my compaq presario. I had backed up docs, etc. to an external hard drive. The hd must've gotten affected by the recovery--all the files are gone.
Could they still be on the drive, or did they get wiped?
Any help appreciated.

I'm still looking for a $200-250 DX10 video card for my new pc, but got a real dilemma:

1) 8600 GTS OC: decent midrange card suffering from low memory (256mb) and 128-bit bus.

2) 8800 GTS : great high end card. but not in my price range.

I saw this site:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/238187-29-256bit-8600-real-rumours

It said an upgraded version of the 8600 GTS should be coming in June 2007 with increased memory (512mb) and a wider memory bus of 256-bit.

However, as of today, I've only seen a 512mb version of 8600gts, but not 256-bit, in north america.

Is there really a 256-bit 8600GTS coming soon?

Booting up, I only get the flashing question-mark insude a file-shaped icon. I don't have my Disk Utility CD along; I'm travelling. Using the Installer CD only gets me to the third step; it doesn't give me any options on the "select destination disk" page. Help!

I am reformatting my hard disk on my Dell Windows 98 desktop computer. It's a pretty old computer. It's already formatting, and I just realized that my files are getting erased, and I would like to get those files back. Is there any way to backup those files now, or is it too late? I tried aborting it, since I know all of the MS DOS prompts. Is it possible to do it now?
