Before giving me an Ipod for my Birthday, my sister loaded it up with songs from her Macbook pro.. I have a laptop PC which means if I want to use it to put songs into my Ipod, I have to reformat it for PC and lose everything!! Why can't I add to the songs I already have instead of erasing them all and starting over???
YIKES!!!!

Ive got a dell 4600 with a 2.4g processor and 256mb ram, i wanna upgrade to 512 or a gig but dont know much about computers. is there a big difference between the dual channel, SDR DDR or whatever and all that other crap? im going for cheap so if there isnt a big difference ill do the cheapest. also, is all RAM the same/standardized or is there some kind of compatibility between the motherboard and RAM? and could someone who has mediocre to low knowledge of computer hardware do it themselves easily? thanks in advance

I found it in a cabinet at work. It doesn't have any model number on it, and no packaging or CDs are in evidence. Windows XP couldn't find the driver automatically. Is there a model detection utility or something?

if I saw a good pc offer on the net (dell, compaq, mesh, gateway, etc.), the price tag is for store purchase. but when I am in egypt how can I calcuate how much money should I pay for it including taxes, customs, shipping fees, any other hidden fees i.e. total cost so i can compare it to buying it from local stores? it is recommended that anyone who did that before tell me about his experience.

I have a Dell now, it's a little over 3 years old. We just spent about $400 fixing it- that included removing viruses and something to do with a "heat sink". Now it is having problems again, seemingly heat related- it keeps turning itself off, and when we try to turn it on again, we get an alert about a fan problem and a thermal problem. The computer cost about $1,200 to begin with, so I'm hesitant to drop another $400 for repairs if this is going to be a recurring problem.

Can anyone recommend a computer that has lasted long and been reliable? It will be used by two grad students, so all we'll really need it for is writing papers, creating slideshow presentations for lectures, and connecting to the internet.

CPU: Intel Pentium III @ 500 mhz (socket 1)
Mobo: Napoli-2 (onboard sound and USB)
RAM: 256 MB (PC-100)
Video: MSI NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX4000-T64 64MB DDR SDRAM (32-bit) <------ NEW
Hard Disk: 20 GB (I might replace it with a 30 GB one)
Case: an old case from an old eMachine
OS: I can install Win 2000 on it, but the COA on the case is for Win 98.
OTHER: monitor, keyboard, mouse included

I known that this computer is crap, which is why I will title it "The Mediocore Computer" and my slogan will be, "...Because you can't afford anything better!" but how much should I charge for this? What would be a fair price and what would be the most that I can get away with, without worrying about getting my car trashed?
