I need a graphics card to run company of heroes and the 6200 would do, and is quite a bit cheaper than the 6600. But the 6200 is quite old tech, so is it really worth holding out for a 6600?

My DVD drive reads and plays DVD films but cannot read or use Data-DVDs, CD-ROMs or audio-CDs. It used to. Bizarrely the USB DVD burner on my PC has the same problem. Both are visible and seem correct in the Device Manager and test out ok for data transfer when Nero does a drive check.

I recently purchaced a hp dv 2046TU Laptop. It has a PC recovery option in the HDD. No disk were provided. It also had a provision of making Rescue Discs. [It required 3DVD (eqivalent of 16CDs) for the rescue. WHAT DO THEY STORE IN IT?? since Win XP requires 1 CD and misc drivers require one CD. Few pgms max one more CD.] I purchased Partition Magic since I was told it is the best and the easiest to use. I do not understand the intricacies of the DOS partition method involving cylinders and heads.

After spending so much money I am at a loss since I will always have the fear of losing valuable data. Partition secures your data by placing it on a seperate partition securing it from viruses and corruption to some extent.

Most importantly how do i use the Win XP Home provided in the rescue disk and the drivers for the web cam, bluetooth etc. The rescue disk cannot be opened.

I wonder why companies make such laptops. Given an option I would never buy HP again.

I have brought a New Computer which has an ATI Video Graphics Card, the supplier has said it is 512 MB, but I need to confirm it, how can I do that?
If you want to Check the RAM installed in your PC, you go to MyComputer/Properties/General Tab it shows what is the processor speed,RAM installed etc, is there anyway we can check for the Video Graphics Card.
