Ok, I own a Dell Inspiron 710m, which I bought last December. It's been very good to me, as it has never broken down on me and has ran beautifully. However, the 100 GB of Hard Drive, 1GB of RAM, and 1.70 GHz Pentium M processor do me no good in my desire to display better graphics, specifically for Microsoft Vista '07. Now, before you guys start to criticize me for wanting a graphic upgrade for an OS, a graphics upgrade would be just nice to have overall. So, can someone please give me a solution to my graphics dilema. I know you can't put a graphic card in a laptop, but there's gotta be another way! - Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to upgrade the memory on my kid's computer. Its a Gateway, about 4 years old - don't know the exact model; can't find the documentation.

It has 2 memory slots and 1 memory module which says the following on it:

128Mb, DDR, 333, CL2.5, PC2700v

I know what the 128mb and DDR mean. My questions are:

1. What does the "CL2.5" mean?

2. Will the machine take a 512mb, 256mb, or 1gb module? (or 2 of each?)

Thanks - any general memory info you can give me that will help me buy the right module would be much appreciated!

My girlfriend just opened my laptop to find the colors on the screen inverted. Restarting does not fix it, nor does changing display resolutions. How can I fix it?
