Hey,
I'm having trouble deciding.
Would 7300gt sonic be a good deal for an above average gamer like me?
Or would it be better if i save that bit to go with 7600gs sonic?
Here's the catch, i'm financially tied for the moment.
I've just enough for 7300gt sonic, but need to save a little bit more on 7600gs sonic.

I am not sure what is causing it. or how to rest it so I can have both at the same time. Any suggestions. Now I am not able to use the keyboard so I cannot get into the bio's. So now I have to figure out a way to use the keyboard. I have the on screen keyboard or I would not be able to use the computer.

I 'm looking to upgrade my mother board and processor but I'm struggling to know where to start looking! I realise Intel Duo Core are currently the best but are AMD chips much cheaper at the moment? I do a lot of video editing and gaming. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

It happens when I boot up. After the windows xp logo with the screen will turn blue (aka the blue screen of death) but then it will only work if I boot into safe mode then restart into regular. I have no idea how this could keep happening even after I reformatted could it be a hardware failure? Thanks a lot for anyone who helps me.

my computer is having some usb issues. If my computer is on, and I plug in a usb drive/mouse/wireless adaptor, my computer won't recognize it until i restart my computer with the device plugged in before it restarts. i've never had this problem before...

anybody have any idea what i can do to fix this?

Hey, Could anyone who knows about computers tell me which is the better laptop - a Sony Vaio or something by Apple? I didn't have a specific Mac laptop in mind, so the best one vs. the Sony Vaio, which wins? If you could also explain why you think/what about it you think is better, I'd really appreciate finding that out.

My dell optiplex has two usb ports in front which is good since that way I don't have to reach around to the back to insert a usb drive (it's hard because I have carpal tunnel). My 'ergonomic' keyboard has two plugs--one for the keys, the other for the touch pad. I plugged them into a two to one adapter so I would only have to use one of the ports in front, but only the keyboard works; the mouse pad won't work. So now I have to use both ports just for the keyboard. Now I still have to squeeze behind the computer to get the removable drive in. I finally saved up money for an expensive (for me, anyway) computer and I thought at least I'd get some higher end features. Any ideas? The adapter came without software and said you didn't need any.

I am upgrading from a AMD 3000+ XP cpu to a AMD 4000+ 939 cpu. Will the upgrade make it impossible to use the factory version of Windows I have? If no, do i need to make changes in anything after installation?

So, I closed my Dell Inspiron B130...and then I opened it again a few hours later, and I got a message talking about some error that was set against a blue background. I forgot exactly what the message said, but it had to do with my computer having to shut down and, if necessary, contact Dell. Anyway, I've tried turning it on by pressing the "on" button many times, and the computer just won't start. The start-up light comes on for a few seconds, but then it goes out and nothing happens. I have no idea what to do...was there some sort of fatal error that just broke my computer? Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I'm really frustrated...and ideas about what to do with this Dell B130?
