MTBF = Mean Time Between Failure and is a measure of how long hard drives last. I have heard that setting power management software that powers down a hard drive, until user activity when it starts back shortens hard drive life.

My office printer is out of the cyan ink. I have ordered a new cartridge, but it will not arrive until later today. I need to print now! I tried changing the settings under Properties to Greyscale, but the orange error light is still lit on the printer's moniter. How can I over ride that? Thanks.

Computer is about 4 years old. Microsoft Office wrecked my computer. Kodak Easyshare is giving me great problems. Internet won't work anymore.

I'm not a computer guy, so if you answer, please list step by step solutions. I don't know names of parts and stuff.

The blue screen has come up about 4 times in the last month. And the computer is extremely slow.

1. Assume I am building a new computer, how do I connect my new HDD to my computer/motherboard? I have seen some computer with its HDD connecting to their CD/DVD rom, why is that?

2. Is it every motherboards with two PCI-Express slots can support the NIVIDIA SLI function?

3. Which one is better for gaming? NIVIDIA SLI or ATI Crossfire or should I remain only 1 card?

Please advice, thank you very much.

I recently purchased a game telling me that I need a nVidea 5700 graphics card (or similar) or better. I currently have a nVidea 5200 and I want to upgrade it. There are a ton of video cards out on the market and I really could use some help in choosing the right one.

I have a LCD monitor. I only game and surf the internet (no movies or video editing).

Can anybody make any recomendations?

Thanks for answering. Your help is greatly appreciated!

I recently purchased a PC game that is recommending that I have at least 1G of RAM and a nVidea 5700 (or similar) type of video card.

I currently have 512K of RAM and a nVidea 5200 graphics card. I have a basic understanding of PC's but I want to make sure that I am not buying something that I don't need (whether over buying or under buying).

It appears that most RAM is SDRAM and I can get it in "sticks" of 512k or 1G each. But some is 240 pin and some is 184 pin. Is SDRAM the right type? Should I buy 2 512k sticks or just go ahead and get 2 Gig? What do I need to check for my pin type?

The Video cards are another question entirely and I think I'll ask it in another question. If you want, feel free to give me any advice here as well.

Thanks for answering!
