I am looking at buying a HP Color LaserJet 1600HP printer. However I noticed that when my printer cartridges go assuming an even use between the four cartridges. It would be cheaper just to go buy a new laser printer, then buying 4 seperate toner cartridges. I know the laser printer keeps track of the pages and then stops you from printing if it has run out. How can I justify buying something that I might as well buy a new one when the cartridges go.

I'm on a teachers budget, so I don't want to go over $200 (prefer lower), but I'm getting lost with the reviews. I've looked at:
-Epson PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition Personal Photo Lab Color Inkjet Printer
-Photosmart D7160 Color Photo Printer
- Epson Stylus R340 Color Photo Printer
-Canon Pixma iP6600D Color Photo Printer

Can anyone offer advice, or other suggestions? I like the individual ink tubes, or any way to not spend a ton on ink. But I need good picture quality. Thanks for any help.

im a first year college student and i need a notebook. im probably going to use it for things like the internet, microsoft word, pictures, downloading music...just regular college things. but the only thing is im not computer literate at all. i want to be able to do those tasks maybe all together but still want the notebook to be pretty fast.

i have a budget of 1000 (if i can buy something under 1000 that would be great) so i want to be able to buy the best notebook for my money. i'm probably going to use this for a while (until i finish college?) so i want it to be really good.

any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Does AMD actually manufacture motherboards, or only processors? If it does produce motherboards, can anyone provide me with a link that has them?

Thanks.

I have an HP Compaq Laptop. I'm having problems with it 'cause it's become slow the last few months. So today I opened the RAM console and I found out that I have a 256MB RAM memory which is OK. But, when I turn on the laptop, it says that it only has 192MB. I was wondering why is that happening. Can anybody tell me please?

Thanks in advance.

I get distracted easily by so many choices and am not sure what would be best for this area. Im sure, a powerful laptop with good memory, graphics, storage and processor speeds is at the top of the list.

The card is too long for the slot. It is a PCI Express card, i think my motherboard only has an AGP slot.
My old radeon 9200 fits and works.
This new radeon X1600 Pro Super can't fit - is there a way to fix this without having to buy a new motherboard??
