I have the 'latest' Sony Vaio, TX47, which has the solo Intel chip - is it possible, or will it be possible, to upgrade the computer to the Duo 2 chip?

I know they're bad. But I don't understand where they come from, how they are created, how they are able to infect your computer, and what files are most likely to get corrupted. Anyone with info, I'd really appreciate it.

Just wondering if anyone is willing to jump on the windows vista ride? I ran the RC1 and 2 and found it a very slow, resource hog. My computer is a 4400+ dual core running at 2.6 G with 2 gigs of ram cas2 (2325), a wd raptor150 10000 rpm drive, and a radeon x1900XT 512mb. those who know about hardware no this isn't a slow computer. it also took up 2.7 gigs on my HD juist for the windows directory. talk bloatware anyone? So whos gonna take the plung, they say it's a little faster now?

Can this be done? I have been racking my brains trying to gifigure this one out. i am running WIN 98 (because of a programme that needs it) and have it on an old 386 computer, since the programme is rarely used. Problem being, I only have uSB printers to work with. Any ideas for a work around, or do I need to search for a parallel printer?? If so, where to get such a dinosaur?
Thanks

I will be using it mainly for black-and-white letter printing, a little colour from time to time. Cheap/refillable cartridges are a bonus. don't need photo printing or anything like that.

I have a PC Chips M848A motherboard which can support up to 400 MHz FSB - so it will support up to the Athlon XP 3200.

I am currently running an Athlon XP 2400 (266 MHz FSB) with 1GB DDR 2100. Would I see any significant improvement by upgrading to an XP 3200 processor and/or upgrading my RAM?

On the other hand, would I be better off just waiting a while and going with one of the newer generation machines?

Last time I built a PC was about 2 years ago, got to build a new one next week but now I notice I have the option of buying a PCI-E graphics card as well as the AGP cards I'm used to. What are the pros and cons of AGP vs PCI-E ? Thanks.
