Hi I have The Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop from Dell and i only have 40gb of hard drive space. What I wanted to know is owners of this laptop did you get a bigger hard drive installed after buying it from Bestbuy or something or did you just go out to buy a external hard drive? Im just wandering b/c i dont know what to do b/c a external hard drive is sometimes a hassle i would immagine and having someone just pop open your laptop and put another one in and get files transferred is a hassle too. Suggestions? Maybe if you had a similar scenario can you tell me what you did? Thanks!

Can someone tell me, please, what ports in the PC are serial and what are parallel? Is the DB9 port serial or parallel? How about the RJ45? Can someone kindly elaborate?

What is the difference between these two processors. I'm confused with the clock speed. They are both Dual-Core but 4800+ is 2.4GHz and D 940 is 3.6GHz os something? It is either for gaming and working with programs...

I bought this card because I am a casual gamer. The benchmark read high enough for my game. I would like to optimize its setting for performance and visual (not maximize). It also has a slight irritating sound that occurs periodically. I am running a pentium D 2.6 ghz.

Well, for a desktop, is AMD mobile processors best buy or Intel(R) Pentium M?

(After finishing works) is there any harm if I directly disconnect a flash memory/ mp3 player (connected through USB port) from the PC rightaway - without following - "safely remove hardware", "Stop device" these steps?? Please advise, thank you!

Hi,

Ive been reading the net alot. and some sites mention (while some sites say it is not true) that DDR 400 is backwards compatible with DDR333 (my brother wants to upgrade his ram, and he has a DDR333 chip in his computer already).

Anyways, id like to know if it is backward compatible, because where I live, DDR400 is cheaper than DDR333.. so id rather get the cheaper option.

Also, will there be better or worse performance compared to running two DDR333 chips?

Lastly, Is it ok to run CL 2.5 Ram with CL 3 Ram?


Thank you so much!
