I want to upgrade my current hard drive which is ATA/66 to a "larger faster" drive, but it is very hard to find "larger faster" ATA/66 drives. So I was wondering if I could just buy and connect an ATA/100 drive.

I currently have an Intel P-4, 3.0 with H/T technology with 1.5 gig of ram. I am purchasing a new laptop that has an Intel® Core™ Duo Proc T2250 (1.73GHz/533MHz/2 X 1MB L2 Cache). Is this processor faster than what I currently have?

If I had two systems set up side by side exactly the same except one motherboard was a slightly later model that supported AGP 8x, and the other only went up to 4x, with an identical card, how noticeable do you think the performance increase with the 8x over the 4x would be?

I started out with (2x512)=1G I wanted to bump it to (2x1G). I took out the 512's and put in two sticks of 1G in the 1 and 2 slots on my Dell 8400 Dimesion (bought 2005). The system recognized that i had 2G but the computer just kept on cycling through the start up procedure by itself. Start up -shut down, start up - shut down. Won't go past the windows log on stage. Help Please! Is this a dell specific problem. Do i have to buy my memory from dell only?
the memory sticks are Samsung 610

Hi,

I have trouble setting up my wireless router and adapters in my house. I have 3 computers running on wireless adapter and the name of the adapter is: D-Link DWL-G510 Wireless Adapter.
On all of the computers I get a low signal and sometimes it even disconnects from the network. I have like one or two walls from each adapter. I know that the routers is really good, but what adapter should I buy if I want high signal on all of my computers. I was thinking of the "D-Link DWL-G520M PCI Wireless 108G MIMO Desktop Adapter up to 108Mbps Data Rates 64/128-bit WEP WPA—Wi-Fi Protected Access (PSK)" adapter. Would that work good if both the router and the adapter would be the same type with the same technologies? Please help. Thank you very much.
