Hardware - December 2006

I bought an HP Pavilion that has a Pentium 4, 3.0 GHz Processor, and 1 Gig of RAM. It has an Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress HyperMemory but I don't think that will be sufficient for Counter Strike Source which is all I play on my computer. My power supply is only 300 watt so I need recommendations on the best PCI-E graphics card I can get that fit the wattage restrictions. Thanks for the help.

I use my laptop a lot for music (iTunes), photos (editing & just uploading from my digicam), internet, and Word/Excel. I'm looking for a computer that has a lot of storage, but also works at fast speeds as I am usually multi-tasking. I currently have a 4 year Sony Vaio and the battery life is about 5-10 minutes and is really really slow. I would prefer a "name brand" that is reliable. Suggestions of even ones that are slightly over $1,000 are ok too. Thanks! =)

i'm having problems with my computer stuttering and freezing. Music stutters all the time and sometimes my computer won't even boot. I bought new ram a few weeks agao and that helped a little bit. My hd's a pretty new so I don't think they are the problem either. Could it be that my CPU is starting to go?

I need a new computer and instead of buying a new desktop right now I'm looking for a laptop that I can tote around with me. I go between my apartment, school, my internship and my parents' so I need something I can bring with me to do work on.

I've used PCs my whole life and I'll admit I'm a lover of Dell computers. My step-father is the IT guy for UPMC and they run on Dell, I trust what he trusts and Pitt will trust, too.

But, I took a technology course for education and we worked with iMacs and I have to say I'm a fan of the Mac now, too.

Computer people--which should I get? My step-father says to stick with a PC, he knows PCs and it's what he works with incase I encounter a problem. But anymore, it seems like the Mac has more to offer.

I'm about to get my elementary education teaching certificate. I do a lot of book-keeping, but I also need to create a lot of documents, webpages, interactive things... Which do you think would be best?

What makes 1 power supply better than others? How much money is a reasonable price. Also how can i figure out what brands are good. Also is a U.P.S. a good idea?
