What essentially is the difference between these two laptop adapters that makes them cost differently?

Does one last longer?

Is one more powerful?

I'll start up by stating the situation.
On a new (3 month old) packard bell imedia 5020 i had two partitions. The first one being ubuntu feisty , the second one being vista home premium. I loved both. Because i screwed up ubuntu I booted into vista. Installed acronis boot manager, formatted the first partion to ntfs and rebooted. Grub bootmanager gave me error 22 (logical, since I deleted ubuntu ) I usually use super grub disk to repair windows mbr. However i was unable to boot any cd's (yes the bios was set up to boot from cd and i used f8 and choose cd to boot more than once). No cd's would boot (including ubuntu feisty, linux mint cassandra, plos2007, gparted live cd, super grub disk, xp).
I then installed another cd-rom from an old computer. This time instead of ignoring the cd and going straight to the hard drive thus giving grub error 22), the screen remains black. When i pull out the cd, the hard drive loads and gives the grub error.
... more to come

I've got involved in a internet startup and their site could eventually get very large and employ 10 developers quite easily.

Any ideas which open-source language would be best and why?

e.g. PHP, Ruby on Rails, Java, Perl...?

pentium d, 1 gig mem, sapphire radeon 1650.....

its a gaming machine but the games don't work (everything else does-so far). I've updated the video and sound cards, and windows. I simply don't know what else I could do. Games aren't *that* important to me, but Second Life is, as I am a content creator there.
Things like Half Life: Lost Coast and SLife crash with no error message (save a send crash report), and they crash randomly, between 0-and 15 minutes of game use- usually crashes within the first 5. Any clues?
