Hardware - August 2006

I came to US from abroad to study, I've Dell Latitude, without in-built modem, I just insert it in thin slot from the side of computer. At home abroad I use dial up plugging another end of modem cord into tel. socket, but this end is not CAT type, but old one with 5 small salient rods. How can I manage to connect to ADSL?

I recently had a perfectly functioning powerbook g4 12" apple laptop. About 3 months ago, I purchased a new battery, which ended up being one of the batteries that was recalled. I had noticed the battery was warmer than my old battery, but thought nothing of it. About a week ago, all the sudden, my computer froze (gasp!). This had never happened before, but when I tried to start it up, the computer was dead, and couldn't read the hard drive.

About two days later, the battery recall notice hit the news. I sent for my new battery, which is on the way. Could this logic board failure be the fault of a defective battery? If so, would apple replace it for free?

Yep, the little angel (ahem..) thought he was helping by cleaning daddys laptop. He's sprayed the TFT screen and it looks like the "Pledge" funature polish has marked it. Any suggestions on how to recover the situation? Oh and yes, he's been grounded until he's seven!!! LOL.

I need a (faster than average) dual core process, 250g hard-drive, 2gig ram, 512 nvidia graphic, XP media edition, minimum of 20" widescreen monitor / TV, TV tuner card, maybe a TV "out" to go to another TV, 2 drives including a DVD burn for around $1500 give or take a few hundred. I don't do a ton of gaming and am not a hardcore PC nut. I just want something that will be good for 5 years or more with an upgrage to the next Windows OS. The most complicated thing I may do is some video editing and graphic illustration with Illustrator. Also, I want to attach pre-wired speakers to this machine to use a a jukebox throughout the house. I looked into Dell, HP and Gateway. No laptops. What should I do?
