I noticed that you never get full capacity. For example, a 20 GB hard drive will actually have 19.5 GB or something like that. Now I don't really mind a few missing spaces but I recently bought a Western Digital 250 GB drive which only had 232 GB.

I'm a musician and looking for a Mac computer. I don't know much about apple products so I was wondering which model would be the best for making music. I have a keyboard I can plug in, so I don't need the one that has the piano attached to it like I saw in the store. I would like to plug a quality microphone into it to lay down vocals. Could all of this just be done on Windows by buying a real good sound card and music programs?

Any ideas?

I am going to totally redo my computer so it is like new. But I was wondering if I will have to reinstall my sims 2. When I got sims 2 it would not install on my toshiba laptop. So I had to take it into Best Buy and have them install it in a exteral hardrive. I was just wondering if you think that I will have to take it in again and have them install it.
or is there another solution?
-Thanks

I'm not looking necessarily for game comparisons but which of these two has better specs? I don't play many games with this computer, and those I do are online such as Pogo. I do decode & burn DVD's on this machine. This machine currently has the 9600 installed and I was given the FX card recently. I want to make sure it's an actual upgrade before I swap them out.

I've had Super AnitSpyware and AVG Anitvirus installed on my computer for some time now and this has never happened... I was on the web when a box came up saying that something was infected....I'm not sure if it was a Superantispyware or AVG message....but it gave me options to heal ignore or move to vault...I chose to heal. It had to restart for the healing to take effect, but it goes as far as showing the windows home edition page and a few seconds later it restarts! I've tried safe mode and all the other "advanced" options but nothing will get me in...HELP!

A couple days ago the resolution on my computer inexplicably got alot worse. I have no idea why this would've happened but I wanna fix it cuz things are fuzzy and killing my eyes. I dont know too much about computers but I've played around with both my moniter settings (auto adjustment etc.) and the the control panel resolution (1280 x 1024 makes things look back to normal but its too small, i wanna stay at 1024 x 768). So whats the deal, can i fix this? Oh yeah Im running windows XP if you couldnt guess.

I have read answers to similar question, but they really don't answer my question. The games we play are Pogo and Yahoo, some poker sites. We do email and web surf. That's all we do. I have been told different answers about a dual core processor, i.e., I need one and no I don't need one for the gaming I do, saying the dual processor is more for the extreme gaming. Is Dell the best out there compared to HP or Gateway or any others? Is 512 Ram enough? I am looking at a Dell AMD 64 3200+, 512 DDR2, 160 GB, cd/dvd burner 13:1 reader, Win XP Media for $623???

I recently purchased a microphone system that I am hoping to plug into my laptop. However, the slot in the reciever is the size of the slot in normal guitars. The microphone slot on my computer is the size of an average headphone/earbud chord head. Is there some sort of adapter for this? If so, what would something like this be called?

I've got a pc which is a few years old but it does the job. Recently i downloaded a free optimising check program.It advised me to upgrade my processor. I have a AMD Athlon XP 2400+ . I've been to a few sites but it is quite confusing, some offer free "driver dowloads" does this improve my processor ?? If so what one do I download? Sooo many options.
