I want it to not "click" when I simply touch the "mouse"... I just want to use the buttons to click.. It's really annoying cause sometimes when I'm typing, I touch the "mouse" and it clicks somewhere else...

Thanks in advance!

I am starting to look at laptops. I receive a 15% discount on HP laptops through my employer. I will be using the computer for school and internet applications primarily. I need something that can handle multiple internet applications at a time (AOL, Y!M, a few firefox tabs) without really being slowed down. I am trying to get something under $500 total after my 15% discount and shipping, and I need a wireless internet connection (we already have a router).

I'm getting frustrated because people at the store keep trying to sell me things I don't need... I don't need a widescreen laptop, I don't need to burn DVDs, and I can't get through to HP since it's their busy season. Any suggestions?

I have this old PC, it works but can be tempramental on start up. It needs the programs on the hard drive to be re-arranged - but....
I have got nearly 2000 songs on it - based on a download price of 79p, thats about £1500 worth of tunes.
SO what do you think I should let it go for?

It's an nVidia GeForce 6800 256MB GT (Gainward).

It has a dual fan system, but it seems that one of the fans is making a horrible noise, as if it's scraping on something as it spins. I've tried cleaning out all the dust and making sure nothing is touching the fan that shouldn't be, and I've tightened up slightly loose screws but still no luck.

Sometimes it doesn't make a noise at all, but I've looked at it whilst it's been running and the left fan looks a little bit loose as it spins. Sometimes when it's making a noise at full speed I hear metallic noises, as if it's maybe hitting the copper case?

Any thoughts are appreciated, it seems to have calmed down a bit atm but it's still making the noise every now and then.

Connectors for both Serial ATA on laptop and Desktop are the same. What worries me is the electrical input. Is it the same for 3.5 drives as for 2.5 " drives ???

If I were wanting a new processor, would that require me to get a whole new mother board? A new chipset... would that require a whole new motherboard. I want a dual core processor.
