I have an HP PSC 2355 printer and ink is pretty expensive. I remember a while ago there was this one site where I could buy ink for a lot cheaper than in stores, but I can't remember what its called.

Does anyone know a reliable site that sells printer ink for cheap?

Thanks

i want to purchase a video card for gaming that is better than the one which i got before (geforce fx5200 ) ,it stopped functioning well after 1 year + it made me a lot of problems considering that it's 128 mb and whenever i want to play a big game such as war craft or general or condition zero the vga causes the whole system to fail . i think it was not the original because it was cheap , but now i'm planning to bye an original ATI card . thanks for answering.

I got 256MB. The game im playing is played entirely online & is VERY slow. The system requirements are 512MB but they recomend 1GB. I may well buy the 1GB so im just over their recomendation but will buying this make my game run smoother or do i need an entirely different bit of kit?

Ive looked online & i can get memory sticks, chip boards, cards, allsorts. Any ideas which of these i need?

I know sweet FA about computers.

I'm using Win X, and I've got a 250g SATA hard drive installed and plugged in, when I look in computer management>disk management - I can see it in the list. It's unallocated though, against my other drive which shows allocated and has blue bar on it, so any ideas?

Sure I did it once long time back, but forgot what I did.
