Hardware - June 2006

I would like to purchase an iBook in a few years, but I went on the website (I check everyday) and it wasn't there anymore! Then I went to the Apple store in Rockaway and all they had was macbooks! And Macs. A true Nightmare. Are they still making them, or are they discontinued?

I recently purchased a Tevion graphics pad. It game with a programme to run it (I believe it is called a driver?!). I purchased a new computer, and I misplaced the programme. The graphics pad, doesn't run nearly as well. I don't think it is calibrated properly. Can anybody help me?!
Thanks in Advance- Elli

Extensive searching for reviews on the web have been frustrated by the endless commercialism at tech sites. Even CNET gives ony three sentence "reviews." Rediculous!!! The internet as such is one vast strip mall. Please, if you know about edge tech ram let me know your experience with it. TY.

I wanted to press CTRL, ALT, Delete to restart my computer and my monitor went blank and a few seconds later, the monitor came back on and the images were sideways. In other words what should be at the bottom of the monitor is now at the right side of the monitor. How can I fix this?

Is this Mobo any good?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138253R

Yeah, I know its $37 but its SLI capable and it can support all the components I have in my comp already. I don't want other suggestions, I just want to know if the cheap mobos at NewEgg are any good as long they have what I need.

What are the differences the $37 motherboard and this $190 motherboard.

But when I add full cartridges, it still tells me they're empty. Any quick, obvious ideas?

I want to use the "SmackBook" or the dual screen on Macicntosh Laptops. My questions is will this cause a malfunction with the built in sensor in the HDD? Also, when I carry my Mac will it continously switch screens? since I will be consisntenly moving?

I have a Dell Axim X3 that I've basically never used. Until recently it has been in storage. It gives me a message that my backup battery has failed. I called Dell and they said I would have to replace the whole unit. Hopefully, someone out there can tell me how to fix this problem without replacing the whole unit.

I have a PC with a DDR400 RAM in it.
I just introduced it to another piece of DDR RAM of unknown speed.
So I want to check if it's speed is being affected.
Unfortunately, my BIOS do not display this information.

Despite my advice to do otherwise, my girls father allowed himself to be bullied by his girlfriend into buying a Dell Machine. OK, so it was her money, but still.

Anyway I have now been asked to get new cartridges for the Dell All in One 810 with part number JF333.

The cheapest I can find is £18.99, which is ridiculous considering after postage this put the price up to half of what a new printer would cost.

Does anyone know of a place that sell compatible cartridges for this machine, or do I simply say "£18.99 plus postage? or I'll get you an Epson that I know has cheap third party cartridges"

I know you do it in the BIOS but can someone please give me step by step directions.

How many GHz will I be able to get up to without really doing any damage to my computer in the long run. I have the stock fans, I removed the side of my computer, and the room my comp is in is in my basement and kept at 18C.
