I wanto to buy a laptop, and Gateway seems to have very good laptops, but I was told it isn't a very good brand. So, if somebody has a Gateway, could you tell me the truth about these computers, if they are good or bad, if increasing the memory is possible for laptops, etc.
All the information you could have will be useful.

Hey,

I need some more RAM. I heard online that certain motherboards can only take a certain amount of RAM. How can I find out what type of RAM mine takes? Thanks.

Every once in a while I'll be typing something on the computer and it takes a couple of seconds before the words show up on the page. Why is this?

Apologies if this has been asked many times before...
I spilt tea on my Acer Aspire 3102WLMi laptop keyboard about three days ago...very stupid i know! As soon as it happened i tipped tea out and keyboard seemed to work for a few hours after but next day the keys weren't working (but weren't sticking). Everything seemed to be fine except for the keyboard, however this morning I switched laptop on and about 2 seconds into loading a really loud alarm noise came on and laptop froze completely. I was wondering if anyone has any information on what this noise is, or any tips to help laptop dry out?? Can it be salvaged?! Thanks!

My price range is under 350$ so these are one of highest end ones i found on that website...

I saw Intel Core Duo 2 is
1. cheaper
2. and has higher 4MB Cache Retail versus AMDs 2MB
3. and has higher

but AMD usually wins tests that i see (at least until recently cause i guess the Core Duo 2's are newer than AMDs am2 processors, hence they should be faster?)

here is example of CPUs i am looking at:
