I am upset that there are only two major competitors in the cpu market and was wondering if there were any more in sight.

In terms of Front Side Bus only why does it seem that Intel is on the lower end and AMD is on the high end

I have a 2001 Xerox Phaser 6200 color laser printer. It is leaving magenta streaks and tonor lines all over my paper. The repair company has been here already and told me they needed to take it to their shop for proper repair. The nature of my business is that I need this printer everyday. They told me they could rent me a printer for a few hundred dollars and that the repair would take 4-5 days and cost would be based on labor hours. Is it worth fixing? What is the average life-span for this printer? Any suggestions? Also, the graphic print quality is sub-par and I need it to be good, the streaks make it worse.Any recomendations on a color laser printer that produces excellent picture and image quality? Data: has printed total pages from engine--40,568 and has printed 160,128 images. Thanks!

its a hp amd sepron which means its like pentium M.
a friend got it 4 me, and since i was at work i gave it to a hardware technician2 look at it. i pickd it up on monday, and till date (1yr later) i have not bin satisfied with the laptop... its like a Pentium 1 or at best pentium 2 pc.. it hangs 4 no reason, i got no heavy programs on it..infact the heaviest programs on it are microsoft access, and yahoo msgr.
4rm task manager, the processor usage is pretty low, at 30/40% at best, and the paging file (virtual ram) is ALWAYS way beyond the half way mark...at 350MB.. my RAM is 512 sd.
i mean, there should b no reason why it hangs at startup, hangs when u run 3 programs, hangs in d middle of notin.
i have used symantec, norton, sophos, avast, and i'm now windows defender 4rm microsoft, so there could not possibly b a virus or worm
i have also run hp diagnositc programs on it, still too too slow, clumsy, and hangs. my pentium 3 desktop is faster better, etc.
is that technic at fault

I build my own systems and install my own OS's. I have everything I need to make the switch. I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestion on how to go about doing this without having to do a complete reinstall of all software.

I will never buy another Western Digital HD for as long as I live. I am on my third warranty replacement and the OS reports it is failing also.

I had to install a new hard drive and copy all data from old to new. No problem. But now I've lost my USB. Computer just won't recognize my USB flash drive, and USB controllers are no longer listed on Device Manager. I've checked all connections and everything seems fine. I thought I might have lost the USB drivers (if any), but the computer can't even find the controllers. Any help will be appreciated.

My HP laptop overheated (likely CPU chip). I live in a dusty clime, don't dust it often. My work is 7:30AM to 10PM (phew! busy! lots of clients...) Because I am near a plug, I keep it plugged in (with 12-cell battery in place) the whole time. Laptop is relatively new (purchased in 1/06). Help me avoid this problem! Overheating from dust or battery?

When I connect the flashdisk to a computer nothing is wrong; I can see the files on the computer. But when I try to listen to music or reach the files without the computer, It says "no files found". Should I have never converted the filetype ¿ What can I do?
