I have a Dell Inspiron 9100..The charger broke and the battery ran out.. I now have a new charger but the laptop only works while laptop is plugged in. I get a error message on boot up saying 'charging from a 90w adapter' and something about not for optimal charging..... any ideas anyone??

I have a three year old computer (desktop) with a AMD Duron 1.6Ghz processor. It has done me well for the last three years but has been getting increasingly sluggish recently. Now it is painful to use!

I have defragmented the hard disk and cleaned up un-needed files. However, I just spotted that I only have 256mb of RAM installed. Could this be the reason for the slowness?

Would it be worth investing in some more RAM for my home desktop and if so, how much would you recommend? How likely is that to improve the performance? Anything else I should consider?

Thanks!

I am not too technical with computers but I have seen the insides of different systems. I know there are differnt types of RAM but how do you tell the differences between them (like DDR and SDRAM, etc.) Please refer me to a website or tell me how I can determine which type is exactly what.

I am not planning to buy a new system for a few years, but I was wondering if duel core processor systems were worth buying yet. I ask this because I am assuming that software will need to be written for the duel core processors to actually get the max usage out of them (i guess a similar case would be someone that wanted to play system resource hog computer games so he bought a duel processor system, the games were not written to worth with 2 processors so the usage is not optimal).

Anyway I'm asking because the prices on these systems are dropping and they are actually starting to look half way decent, so I ask my question again do you think duel core processors are worth buying yet?

I finally upgraded and bought two more RAM sticks, plugged them both in, and the computer wouldn't boot. After a little trial and error (verified both sticks are good), I found out that the fourth slot was the issue.

Probably nothing to do about it, huh?

For a cpu will not be used for heavy gaming (office/internet etc type use), and not overclocked, which is better?

Sempron 2800+ w/256mb cache or Sempron 3000+ cpu with 128MB cache?

The Sempron 3000+ is a little more expensive but it has a lower cache- but is it better overall then the 2800?

Thanks!
