More specifically, is ARM architecture itself responsible for ARM based CPUs consuming less power, or are x86 based CPUs (for mobile devices) more power hungry only because nobody (Intel and others) has made them power saving yet?

So is the architecutre (ISA etc) itself responsible for power saving, or is there some other reason?

I am new to computers so make the answer really simple.
It just seems as if the computer is slower and if I could defrag it would bea a little faster plus aren't you supposed to defrag every now and then?

I was trying to delete a specific folder which had all my music because it had a corrupt file which was messing everything up.

I know once you "delete" it, it sends it to the recycle bin where you can still get it back, so thats what I was planning on doing. It was like a 6 GB folder, and a message prompt came up and I just said yes stupidly without reading it or anything.

I'm pretty sure the message was saying something like, that the folder is too big to be sent to the recycle bin so it must be deleted.

Now all my 6GB of music is gone so I was wondering if it still can be retreived some how. Please help! Thanks!

This question probably floats around a lot but I have specifics to deal with here:
I currently have two comps, a desktop with XP and a laptop with Vista.
Specs of desktop: 512 MB RAM, 160 GB HD, XP Home Edition. Has worked beautifully for the past three years and counting.
Laptop: 2 GB RAM, 240 GB HD, Vista Home Premium. Only six months old, no major problems yet. I usually use it for school use so if I occasionally do some gaming and what not, it's not a hassle.

A lot of people tell me (and offer to lend me the XP OS software) that I should zero out my laptop and install XP from fresh.

My question is should I keep Vista as is and give it more time or go with the system I'm more familiar with?
As far as daily activities go, I'm a moderate gamer and plan to use my laptop mostly for school purposes. So far the speed my laptop has offered has been more than adequate and I have a flash drive I use ReadyBoost with if it becomes a problem. Any opinions on XP/Vista are appreciated.

How many of you have ditched your desktop for your perfect laptop??

I just purchased a HP Pavilion 14.1 inch screen laptop...and I'm in LOVE. I sold my desktop and 19 in. monitor...and I keep asking myself, "why did i wait so long?" These days, the laptops seem just as powerful as the desktop. And, they are so portable and convenient. The other I watched the new DVD called HALLOWEEN, all the while surfing the internet and working on a word document at the same time. It was too much. Oh, yeah...and I was on my LAZ-Y-BOY recliner, too. I was in total heaven.

Have any of you left the desktop behind for your laptop pleasures? I'm interested to know your stories....

I have McAfee virus protection plus "super anti spyware" program. I do the scan everyday, delete temp. internet files(cookies, etc.), clean my hard drive, and defragment it. I still get pop ups eventhough the pop up blocker is on, plus when these ads for a virus protection come up, they block pictures. Not to mention, I have two trojans to get rid of which are called Winfixer and Vundo..anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

-I have tried system restore to an earlier date and it won't let me.
-My virus protection was turned off somehow, and when I try to reinstall I have to restart in regular mode to complete the installation. When I log in, my computer freezes.
-I cannot save files to cd, not sure why it won't let me.

Questions:
No dvd burner, but is there another way to save files so I don't lose everything during a complete restore?
If this is windows trojan, there is no patch to debug. I am not computer savvy enough to go through my system root. Anything else work for anybody out there?
Am frustrated by my lack of knowledge and procrastinating about backing up my documents!!!

I need to send her something, and since she doesn't live nearby I can't burn it on a CD. It'd be best if I could just upload it and have her download it. I have GMail as well, but idk if that would work.

Any suggestions?

I've installed Windows Vista and I'm trying to make my ASUS WL-138g PCI Adapter 802.11g work so that it can pick up the wireless network and connect to the internet. It works great on my XP but when I installed the drivers from the CD to Vista and after restarting the computer, I get this error when I try to open the ASUS connection program:

The procedure entry point iphlpapi.IcmpSendEcho could not be located in the dynamic link library ICMP.dll

Any help please.

I'm trying to edit a WordPad document with some Flight Simulator X configurations in it, and when I go to save it, it says "Access to..... was denied."

WTF, I AM the administrator to the system. Is it a read-only or what?

It just started getting noisy today. For instance, after the fan has stopped running, the blades will still be turning and I can hear them. They would normally make no sound. Is my fan going bad? Also, it starts doing that only after I have been using the laptop for a half hour or so. Do you think it's going bad?

it just quit working and I think it has been "fried" by a virus. I have transferred a virus detection program from my laptop to my dads computer to scan it and I was gonna find the virus and remove it,but does anyone else have a plan.
