I am not sure if it would be worth it to replace the 2x512 ram with 2x1Gb in my macbook. Is it going to make a big difference? I am a beginner in using final cut pro, however, i don't use it professional, just some simple editing. Is it worth it and how much difference is it going to make?
Thanks a lot!

I am trying to set up my kids with a shared computer (CPU) where each will have a key board, mouse and monitor and be able to work on totally different items at the same time, for example my daughter could be surfing the web while my son is doing homework. Do I need a certain type of computer or are thier simple instructions to follow with the current basic computer that i have now?

Is this enough memory for a computer to run all these hard drives?
It's running three hard drives
200 GB
20 GB As the main one for running windows XP
20GB
512 MB Ram Memory..
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3200 + 2.1 GHz

Ever since I put my computer like this, it's slower....So I was wondering if I had to change the ram memory for at least 1GB? or is it something else?

The office is over 12,000 sq. ft. so do you purchase more than one printer? How do you decide where to place each printer? This is a healthcare business.

I got my answer on not loosing anything on my slave drive when I replace the master. But do I attach the slave before or after I reformat the new master drive? My husband thinks he should just do the master, when everything is up and running then re-attach the slave drive. But I'm afraid the new master wont like that. Help!

I used to order from TIGERDIRECT but they so expensive to me .. anyone know any cheaper wholesalers that sell PC parts cheaper.

e.g. Tigerdirect selling me a 17" 1280x1024 for $179. Now come on .. I need a monitor cheaper like $120. I need a PC wholesalers or any place you buy your PC stuff where I can get a 17' 1280x1024 for around $120-$140

I need a new laptop and am hoping that I can get an inexpensive one for around $600. I'm not willing to go to computerdeals4u.com or any of those sketchy sites to buy one though! Haha. Does anyone know of any legit brands/models (Dell, Compaq, etc.) or sales/discounts at any major stores (CircuitCity, Best Buy, etc.) that will enable me to get a laptop for cheap?

I want to get a dvd/cd burner/drive for my computer, internal, I think I can install it with no probs but I really dont know anything about them. My cd burner drive is about shot so I want to replace it and upgrade to dvd. I won't use it a ton, mainly for burning pictures. I have slow dial up so downloading movies to burn is out of the question :-( I want to spend as little money as possible too! I dont need all the bells and whisles if there going to be expensive.
Any thoughts on a good drive for me? Or where I can go to get some good info on dvd drives? Thanks, I appricate any answers or help!

I just reformatted my friends Dell Computer. Now when I boot up, it boots up in the lowest resolution. I can not change this. When I got to display, advanced, the button for properties is grayed out. It also says default monitor, so I think that the driver for this particular monitor was not on the install cd. I downloaded the drive for this monitor e772c but I don't know where to put it in the computer. And because the properties button is grayed out, I can't install from there. I also do not see monitor listed at all under Device manager, so I can't install from there. Any ideas would be appreaciated.
thanks in advance for your help

My Dell desktop, about 5 yrs old, is having some serious problems. When i try starting it up it will do one "beep for about 1 1/2 seconds, then is followed by 2 shorter beeps. After this it sounds like it is running but nothing ever comes up on the monitor at all. I have no clue what the problem was. Previously to this the computer would boot up for about 5 seconds without any display then shutdown and contiune to do this same process over and over. Any help?
