I have a HP Pavilion a250n that came with 2- 256MB running at 333MHz. There are a total of 4 slots in 2 pair, currently with 1- 256MB in each pair. I would like to upgrade my memory, but am unsure of my options. Do I have to intstall memory chips in pairs? Can I add just 1- 512? Can I add 1-1024? Can I mix and match 256 and 512 or do all chips have to be the same. Can I mix and match manufacturers, or do they all have to be the same?

Hi,

I am not sure what they are called? (storage servers, hdd servers, etc? Please correct me if I am wrong)

What I am trying to do is purchase (where?) a cheap pc tower like case that is designed to *only* hold hard drives (HDDs). It would seem logical (and easier) to just put all my hard drives into a single tower and then connect that to a computer. Is this even possible? What type of cables or connectors would I need? Where might I begin to look?

The hinges on my laptop have broken, and despite being able to simply rest the screen against something, I miss being able to open it and have it on my lap anywhere.

Is there some way to keep it remaining upright? With tape or something? I can't afford to have it fixed. Any ideas?

Should current computer model laptops be powered on 24/7 -- assuming you have screensavers, stand-by settings, etc. Is it good to leave your computer on 24/7. A few years ago I was told it is not good to turn off your computer because powering it on-off is bad for power supply or motherboard, or some device within the computer.

Is this still the case with newer models of laptops and computers?

I live in Edmonton, and I like to build my own pc to get the performance I want, instead of buying from places like future shop or best buy. So since I am new to city, I asked a friend if there is this kind of online store nearby and got this website: www.ncix.com

I work as a 3d animator, so I will be using the pc mostly for this, and some games, and movies.

Currently I have chosen these parts (from the website):

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Dual Core Processor

Samsung 215TW 21IN LCD

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 500GB SATA2 3GB/S 7200RPM 16MB Cache NCQ Hard Drive

I couldn't really figure out what to choose for the motherboard, memory, cpu cooler, video card, dvd writer, case, speakers?

If anyone can give me some recommendations by making a list for the above parts, I would really appreciate it. Money no object as long as it's not extreme, like quad core cpus.


Thanks alot!

I put in a new cartridge because the old one only printed certain colors. The new one won't print color at all. The computer is a Macintosh and the printer is an Epsom color 740.
