I have a laptop computer that I have been told needs a new motherboard. I have no idea what this is or how much it might be to fix. Will I lose everything I have saved like files and pictures?

Hello,
My computer has a floppy disk drive a DVD drive and a CD drive. When I click on my computer only the floppy disk shows up under removable storage. My CD drive will not read CDs, this is because the computer doesn't detect that it is there. How in the hell do I get my computer to read the CD drive again so that I can install programs!! GAH!

I have a PC; my wife has a mac. My pc (Gateway tablet) is new; her mac i-book is almost 2 years old. We have a wireless network at home, and her mac is about 10x faster than my pc. Also, if my powercord is not plugged in and I am running on battery power, my pc is even slower.

Is there anything I can do (short of scrapping the Gateway) to speed up my connection? Also, why is my pc so much slower when running on battery power, and can I fix that?

Is the $100-$150 cost justified to upgrade from what I currently have: 512mb of PC3200 to a gig or more? I know memory in general is a great thing but the tech said that on an 2004 HP Pavilion with only a 400mhz FSB and a Celeron D, it might not be worth it...I might not notice much difference at all. He said that upgrading the HD to get more free disk space would be a more noticable difference in speed. What do you think? I run general office applications...MS Office, IE and an Act Database.
