I am considering upgrading my computer RAM from 512MB to 1GB. Before I do that, I want to make sure I really need it. How can I tell from my computer/software usage, how much RAM I am truly using?

Help, I love Mac however my iBook g4 has been having problems lately. While using it, the screen randomly goes black and I am unable to do anything with my computer. Also, sometimes when restarting computer, not sure if it's because I reset the PMU the fans blow for a few seconds or continue to blow for a while. I am afraid of a really expensive fix right now and I hope it's just something minor Please help. Can post more information about computer if I can look it up if you need.

Hi,
I'm buying a new laptop, and can't decide between Core Duo or Core 2 Duo.
I use my laptop for the basic stuff nothing too fancy, so I'm not sure which one to get.
Should I get the Core 2 Duo just because its new and Core Duo will be obsolete? Or is it something I just don't need?
Thanks a lot for your help!!!

I want to scan and print some pictures to give to a family member. But I want them to be of good quality so they can actually see and enjoy the pictures. What kind of scanner do I need? Any brands recommended, or what resolution do I need? I already have a printer, so I just need the scanner.

i want to start playing newer games such as Age of Empires 3 and newer but my Nvidia GeForce 5200 is "outdated". I have a P4 (3.0 Ghz), 1 Gig ram, and a large enough harddrive. Right now the video card is a PCI slot. My question, what is a good video card available now that will let me run this and newer games? I am about to tear into my tower to see if i have an AGP slot.... if I do.... please give me ideas for both the PCI only and the AGP only.
