There's so many different options! I don't want to spend over $300.00 for a used (refurbished) laptop, but I want it to be fast & reliable. I don't know much about brands like E-machines or Aspire, and I'm more comfortable with Dells, Gateways, Sonys (How, I wish!). Should I buy on Ebay? or is it more advisable to purchase at BestBuy, or a place similar that there's more of a reliable seller.

There r some really great deals going on for some very "nice" computers. I found a desktop 2 GB RAM with a 250 GB harddrive, AThlon 64X2 dual core 4600 with flat panel monitor, surround sound and printer for $830. Mine is a dinosaur and crawls slower than dial-up with dsl. Should I buy a computer now while prices are low or wait 2 or 3 months till vista arrives? apple or hp? The apple--not sure of specifications but it is over $200 more just for the lowest priced pc and I do not know how to start in repairing one myself and have never used it. My main goals--are one that does not crawl with the internet-and one that can handle mass family photos---mainly to scan and put on disk....my scanner handles negative's as well as pictures.

I'm having trouble understanding video cards. I have a game for my young nephew that I need a video card with 32 bits. I found a video card with 64 bits and 8 MB; shouldnt' this card work?

I thought the memory was the bits so I'm confused. What is more important, higher bits or memory and what is the difference. Is there a minimum I should get?

Again it's just for very simple games on an avg. computer not a high end one. I also have a minimum of video card knowledge. Thanks!
