Do people think that bus speeds and CPU speeds will reach a peak? What do people think standard specifications will be in say, ten years time?

256MB ATI Radeon X1300 Pro

AND

256MB Nvidia GeForce 6800 Graphics Card

Is one better than the other?

I have been advised by one person to get the 2nd one b/c it's not shared or intergrated to take from the RAM memory but is the 1st one as good or better than 2nd one?

Thanks

hi, i have a 21 inch hp2105 lcd monitor and win xp sp2 os.

i set the display properties->screen saver->wait 10 minutes
monitor power settings->power schemes=home/office desk
turn off monitor=>after 10 mins
system standby=>after 30 mins

after 10 minutes the screen will go blank and there is a display saying that "monitor is going to sleep", but immediately it turns back on.

after 30 mins the monitor will go to sleep (and system go to standby, and you have to click the user name to login).

previously, i had a sony lcd monitor that didn't have this problem, meaning it will go to sleep after 10 mins and wake up if it detects mouse movement/keyboard strokes.

anyone knows why does this happen? and how to fix it?

thanks

I want to clean the area under the keys of my laptop but I'm not sure how to do that. Is that possible to do without breaking the keys? If it's relevant I have a Dell Latitude X1. If you don't know but could point me in the right direction to find out that would be great too. Thanks!

I have this laptop, it has 128mb of ram and it's 700mhz. I bought a usb DVD drive for it and tried playing a dvd on it. The dvd played alright, but it would slightly skip every 2 seconds no matter what dvd I played. When I plugged it in my usb port, it says something about my usb port can preform faster. So my question is, If I got a USB 2.0 adaptor would my dvds play good on the dvd drive? Thanks

I have a Dell laptop that worked great before with wireless connections... now when I enable the wireless connection on the computer it can not find any wireless networks even when the computer is right next to the router. Hardwired it works OK but it just does not see any wireless networks anymore. Please HELP me. I have rebooted the computer, unplugged the cable modem and the router but nothing has changed. I have even tried to "find" a wireless connection at a known "wireless" McDonalds and I still get "no network connections found" during the search where before it would list it as a possible connection source!

Hi

My mum has a bought a new PC and monitor, from seperate suppliers. However she cannot get teh Dell monitor to work vis the VGA cable or the other one - does anyone know why this would be the case and what we can do to get her back playing her games.

Her old monitor does also not work on the new PC, but how is she supposed to change settings (if thats whats required) if she can't see what she's doing?

Any suggestions appreciated.
