Hardware - January 2007

which is the best processor for under £100,im not looking at lightning clock speeds,just a decent chip,even a budget model,as long as its over 2ghz,as in my opinion is plenty good enough to run most applications with 1.5gb of ddr ram
amd or intel,as long as its over 2ghz
cheers

I can no longer use my monitor as often, due to the worsening of my condition. Is there an inexpensive way to set up my monitor so I can change positons, print, scan, all of which require it,s use. I have limited space in my house, so have been looking into some kind of mounting of the monitor to an arm=type device, but have not found any that are suitable. I need it to protrude from wall as well as move up and down. I know without unlimited funds, this may be difficult, but someone here might just have the same health issues I do. If so, please let me know how you set it up and what it entails. Thank you to anyone that can help. Gina

I doesn't do it all the time, but I would say it flickers half the time it is on. I thought it was a power issue, but it will do it both when it's plugged in or running off battery. Gateway told me to try restoring to an earlier date, but each time I try, it is unsuccessful.

I am trying to select a new printer for an apple computer. I want a printer + scanner combination. I am hesitating between the HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP and the HP OfficeJet 7410. I stick with HP because in the past their products have never disapointed and they work well with Mac. I just wonder if i am better with laser or inkjet. I use this as a home office printer, mostly color documents and the ocasional picture.

I just tried to install a wireless internet connection. I put the card into the PCI adapter abd turned on my computor. The power button flashed orange and the computor made a noise like a car that won't start. It's still doing this, eventhough I took the card out. Now my computor won't turn on and it won't do anything but flash orange and make an annoying noise. does anyone have any ideas about what I might need to do?

It is on the number 4 key along with the dollar sign. Something to do with pressing 'Alt' I think?

I have a Medion Computer with a "Media Center" that fits in the 5.25" drive bay. It has a card reader, game port, TV input, audio in, mic in, 3 USB ports etc. This unit has worked fine until about two weeks ago when it stopped showing the removable drives (ie: the card readers) - the USB ports work fine, the system doesn't appear to be ahowing any hardware without drivers as I thought maybe I installed something and the drivers for the media center could have been diabled. Does anyone know why my media center would disappear like that? Any suggestion as to what might wrong and how I can fix it? Thanks in advance!
