Hardware - November 2006

I am leaving the country and want to trash my computer. How do I locate the hard drive so I can remove it and destroy it?
What does it look like?

The screen is slightly pixellated in places, esp where there are bright colours or lettering - can we do anything about this, such as changing th settings?

I ordered an HP laptop with a 100GB harddrive. I called asked them if I could change it to the 160GB size instead (Dual 80GB drives) but they said it already shipped and I could just send it back if its "not up to my standards". The cost difference for this upgrade is $100. Would I be better off just adding a harddrive later on (if possible) if I need more space, or is this dual harddrive thing difficult to mess with and should just send it back?

When I bought my PC I had a Sony DVD Writer, DW-Q28A (master) and a Sony DVD ROM DDU1615 (slave).
My DVD Writer broke so I bought a new one, Sony DW-G120A. I set it to master, just like the broken one I removed was set.
When I started my PC (Windows XP Media Center Edition) the new drive got recognised but the DVD ROM which was working fine before and which I didn’t even touch is not recognised anymore. I checked for loose cables but that isnt the problem.

Any Ideas on what is causing this problem?

I have 256k of RAM on my laptop (yes, I'm looking to upgrade). I have figured out how to see how much RAM that the computer has, but not how much I have remaining. Can anyone tell me how to go about checking that. I've installed a couple of programs over the weekend, and now the computer is running very slow. I'm concerned I've run out of available RAM, and I have no viruses or spyware...I've already run the scans. Thank you.

My computer is going really slow. I run both the disk cleanup, and disk defragmenter all the time. When I click on the desktop shortcuts, it takes forever for them to load. I sometimes have to click on it again to "remind" the computer of what it's supposed to be doing. Help!
