It's a Gateway.

Purchased August 2006. What is the best place to have this done at...a big box store like Best Buy, or a small business that does laptops? Also, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Thanks!

I want to free up some space on my computer and have been thinking about getting a few of those portable hard drives that I've been seeing that are going on sale next Friday. For the record I've been thinking about the 80, 120, and 250Gig hdd from Western Digital to store my music, games, videos, etc., and freeing up my main hdd

What I need to know is that if I put my entire MAME collection on one of the portable hdd, and than hook it up when I want to play one of the games, will the hard drive be running constantly while playinng the game or will my main CPU be the one doing all the work?

The reason I ask is because I don't want to burn out the portable hard drives since they don't have fans to keep them cool.

Thanks for any info or insight.

Hi I think I may have a virus on my computer as it is going very slow. So I was wondering if anyone knows of a good anti virus software which is free. I have avg but that doesn't seem to have helped. Thankyou in advance.

I'm ordering a new gaming computer, and there are 3 options for memory: "Major Brand" (they don't specify the manufacturer), Corsair XMS2, and Mushkin Extreme. XMS2 costs $50 more than Major Brand, and Mushkin Extreme costs $60 more than Major Brand. All 3 brands are DDR2-800, so there is no difference in speed. I'm not planning on doing any overclocking, so it doesn't make me any difference which brand overclocks the best. Would there be any difference in performance if I got the "Major Brand" instead of spending 50 or 60 bucks more on the XMS2 or Mushkin Extreme?

Hi,
I know this kind of technical question is better posted on their website/forum, but that is not running so well, so I try my luck here (Stepnote 12" ST5340T).
In the BIOS booting sequence menu, there is an option of "nVidia" something, something followed by cd-rom and SATA harddrive. The only hardware associated with nVidia is my graphics, why can it used to boot up the ssytem, and can I upgrade the BIOS to enable booting from USB devices?? thank you!

How come a TV set last over 20 years but we can't get a computer that last that long. Does it have some to do with the data we put in?

Can they both handle word processing and internet use?
As well as storage of hundreds of word processing files?
Even if between 5 and 10 or more windows are open at any one time?

I wish to put my website on the net. Please tell me if I need to install an FTP program. Also, is there a limit to the file size when downloading my files onto FTP for the web?
