Hardware - August 2006

I understand there are a lot of better notebooks for gaming but I am currently in college and on a budget. I was wondering if anyone owns a E1505 with the 258MB NVIDIA GEFORCE GO 7300 TURBOCACHE video card and if this notebook is capable of good online gaming. ie: World of Warcraft or Halflife 2.

other specs 2.00 ghz duo core, 120 gb hard drive 2gb memory

Thanks

I just bought The Sims 2 game and when I play it, it is extremely pixely, it runs slow, and just annoying! I have 640 of RAM and an 320 GB external hard drive on my computer so I know that is not the cause for the slowness, it must be the video card.

The current video card I have is the Intel (R) 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller. My computer is a bit old, like from 2002, is this video card still good or should I get a new one? Thanks!

Im building a Gaming PC and having alot of fun learning along the way. One thing confuses me. Everyone I ask says the best CPU at the moment is the AMD 64-FX62. I checked and this is a 2.8Ghz chip. What confuses me is that there are Intel chips at 3.4Ghz that are half the RRP.
How can a slower CPU be more efficient?
Is there more to it than the clock speed?

I'm planning to buy a Dell Notebook and the choices they gave me for the processors are:

>Intel® Core™ Duo Proc T2400 (1.83GHz/667MHz/2 X 1MB L2 Cache)

>Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5500 (2MB Cache/1.66GHz/667MHz FSB)

Which one is better? While I was searching online the Intel Core 2 Duo processor was cheaper then the Intel Core Duo processor. Why is that? I thought the Intel Core 2 processor was suppose to be more expensive. Can anyone help me out here please?

I want to speed up my PC by adding RAM. It takes up to 2GB at 400Mhz but like most package computers will only accept low density RAM. Who invented high density RAM anyway? Why cant they keep things simple?!

When I set up a Karaoke system in my taxi, it will be broadcast using a wireless broadband to a web site. I would like to have two cameras, one facing forward out the windshield, and the other facing the passengers. I want to be able to switch between them, so that when I have a passenger not wanting to participate, than I can still be sending out images of my forward motion. I would need a device that would continue to send the computer a signal to the computer while switching from one camera to another. Any suggestions.
