My roommate was totally hammered the other night while chatting with his friends on Yahoo Messenger on MY laptop. When I came home, he was passed out, with his head on my keyboard, and pretty much puked on everything left of 5,T,G,B.

Both Best Buy and Circuit City refuse to clean it, saying that they don't offer that service. The keys still work, surprisingly, but obviously they don't feel right.

I've been using an external USB keyboard lately, but eventually, I have to get this cleaned out.

Any help would be great.

Right now the average off the shelf PC currently uses about 2GB of ram. 90% of people buying a PC now a days are looking for 1-2GB more to the 2GB range. Have they started to produce any 4GB off the shelf PCs yet or put any presure on 4GB yet? We all know it will happen within the next 2 years for sure. My dad is saveing for a PC and wants to know what to aim for? Should he grab a 2GB and upgrade later , Grab a 4GB now? Or wait 3 months to 2 years and grab a PC then?

He does not want to make a mistake and waste money. He is trying to wait for vista already. I use a 4GB PC now but its overkill for me right now and I am a gamer. Does anybody have any info on when PCs will start to be more 4GB rather then the current 2GB now?

Im have an older Gateway computer its got 18GB of hard drive and only like 338 MB of RAM, im gettin into games that take alot of space and take alot ot run (world of warcraft) it runs not but very slow i was just wondering do you think it would be worth it to get any exteral hard drive and a RAM upgrade or just go with a whole new tower? i really dont have 600-800$ for a tower but is it a waste to spend 200-300$ on upgrades or in the long run just better to get a new tower?

My speakers have recently started "cracking and popping". But only when I play Yuri's Revenge. I've tried turning down my bass, slowing my hardware acceleration to standard, turning my soundcard volume down, turning down the volumes in game... 5.1 surround sound Logitech THX speakers. SB Audigy soundcard. Any ideas?

It's exactly the same when using headphones, so it's not the laptop speakers. When listening to web radio, movies, skype etc, men's voices sound like women. And women sound like a squeak.
It's a Compaq EVO N410 laptop running XP. Any ideas?

i was thinking of the heat coming from the bottom part of the laptop. I know placing it on top of wood will be safe but what if i place it on top of a glass table? or a wooden table with a glass layering covering it?

We want to go "wireless" in our house, but I don't understand what we need. How many parts do we really need? We have two desktops now and eventually will get a notebook. Need to understand the basics of routing/networking requirements.
Thanks

How do you tell the difference and how do you determine which is compatible with your computer?
