when i checked in the system details i realised that it had only 192mb. moreover when i tried to play Age of Empires III the game also showed that it had detected only 192. i called up the tech people they said that 64 mb was with the display card. so my q is that even if it is that 64 is with the card shouldnt it show overall that it has 256mb.

Everything is getting more added to it. Dual , quad core processors and video cards. I know a lot about computers and how things work but have they tried to make a Dual Read and Wright Head Hard Drive.

You know the thing that goes back and forward up to 50 times a second in a hard drive. Adding two should increase the performance somehow I would imaging?

But then again besides the stats of the hard drive and hooking them up and so forth I do not know exactly how they work 100%

Maybe one read and Wright head is already more good enough as it is already.

I have a black keyboard with white lettering. Some of the "white" is wearing off on some keys and completely gone on two of them. Any suggestions as to what I can use to write the letters back on and secondly, how to prevent further wear?

After a Windows update, my Dell Inspiron B-120 laptop wouldn't start. It would begin to boot up, but I would then get a blue screen that says Windows could not start successfully. I had to reinstall Windows to fix the problem. However, it deleted everything on my laptop. Music, Word documents, everything. Is there any way I can set my laptop back to how it was before the update?

Hello. I am working on building a computer and I am having issues on the power supply.

I have a ati radeon x1900 XTX and it says it requires a 500 watt power supply.
I also have intel 2 duo core e6400 and 2 gb of ram.

Heres the question. My case is 500 watt but I didn't buy a seperate power supply. Since the requirement is 500 watts, and i have alot of fancy sheet along with the video card, should I buy another power supply seperately? And if I were to buy another power supply would it replace the power supply in the case?

My guess is I should buy a 750 watt power supply seperately and that it would replace the case power supply, but please tell me if i'm wrong.

Thanks :D

My computer can be configured with either:

2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz - 2 DIMMs
or
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz- 2 DIMMs

The price difference is US$150. Is the 667MHz worth it?

Thanks

I just finished building a new gaming computer.

A8N-E Asus Motherboard
Biostar Egate GeForce 6600GT PCI-E video card
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3800+ 939
Linksys wireless-G PCI adapter with speedbooster network card
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
Seagate 320G SATA hard drive
52x CD SATA driver
Antec Neo HE 500w power suply

I have installed all up-to-date drivers. The only driver in question is the network card. I could only find one that would work. I start playing any online game though and it plays great for about 5-10 min. then computer just shuts down in the middle of the game. Sometimes it turns back on by itself after a few seconds. Other times I have to turn it back on myself. Never got any error message or anything after turning it back on though. One time even punched desk after about 5 minutes of it shutting off on me and it just turned back on itself. Check power connections in and out of computer can not find any bad.

Can anyone help me?

The cord that runs from the power adapter (a universal, not original) to my Compaque Pressario laptop is getting loose all the time where it connects to the laptop. Can anyone give me advice on how I can make it stay in the opening?
