i want to buy a new computer, but i want a good processor--dual core, that will run very well when i upgrade to windows vista
I face a couple of options-- Pentium D, Intel Core 2 Duo, Athlon 64 X2, and the new multi core processors from AMD&Intel coming out in 2007
I need a computer that can be future proof for 3 years at least, equal, similar, or better than the specs of the HP m7490
The thing is, im trying to get a good dual core processor thats up to date...seeing that core 2 duo uses 40% less energy and is 40% better in performance--i like that
The core 2 duo is my top choice, but I want it ASAP in hp or some good manufacterer w/ specs comparable to the hp m7490-- im very confused on when those will hit shelfs at best buy or net
so, which processor should i get? i need a processor that has performance similar to pentium d 930 or 940
I also need it to not cost too much

on the side note, does anyone know the prices for each edition of vista upgrade?

I recently bought this laptop, and have experienced several shocks from it. When I was shocked, it was on and I was barefoot on a carpet while holding it. It felt like somewhere between an electric shock and static electricity. Is this normal? What could be causing this?

Well not a lot lately. I bought a new Power Supply (550 Watt) and it works great and everything, but my computer still freezes. Could it be my RAM? I just figured out uesterday that trhe RAM in my computer was a 512mb PC2700 stick. And I added a 512mb PC3200. Could it be the different ones causing freezing?!?

I just bought a new hp printer, fax, copier all in one and when I tried to install it, my CD drawer will not come open by itself and can force it open but it still will not read the CD. Is there anything I can do other than buy a new computer. Everything else on the computer works fine.

I have had a Compaq and have had numerous problems. It wouldn't turn on, would not load my Operating System, burned out pixels etc.

I live in Calgary, where is the best spot to buy a laptop (other than Compusmart) and what is the best laptop out there?

Who has the best warranty?

I have a $1500 (CDN) budget.

I have an Alienware Area-51 that I bought a little over a year ago with all the standard equipment. Nothing unusual. But when ever I use a graphics intensive program (games, 3-D apps, etc.) my computer beeps constantly. This is a system beep, not thru the speakers.

I'm sure it's a 1. Heat Warning 2. Power Warning 3. Who knows what. But I run all the diagonstics and everything is within the safe indicators.

I'd just like to turn it off cause it's a little bit annoying!

Thanks.

this picture was probably downloaded from the grandkids using the cpu, or taken off one of their games. we are using a HP Pavilion mx70, we bought used and no books came with it. we are able to change the screen saver picture to different pictures, but we are not able to figure out how to get rid of this picture. if we click on the side of the picture we can drag it to the side and the picture apprears to be narrower, but nothing we have attempted will remove it.
