I want to upgrade RAM on a HP Pavilion. I've been seeing adds in the newspaper for RAM a lot cheaper than what HP is telling me. Do I have to buy their prouduct? It's a dinosaur of a computer so it's not like I'm in danger of messing up a warranty. I just don't want to put any money into it if I really don't have to.The Data runs at 133MHZ Memory for my model. I also know that my computer can hold up to 512. Is there info on the box it comes in to see if it's compatible with my model #? Or info site?

TigerDIrect, great prices on pc's and components but I don't know if they deliver to UK, there is a number to call but I thought I'd rather see if anyone had had experience ordering from them and how they rate them. Cheers!

Right now I have a 512 MB video card, and I want to increase my AGP aperture to match. However, when I go into BIOS I'm limited to a maximum of 256 MB. How can I increase this? Would updating the bios fix this, or do I need to get a new motherboard?

I am looking for a program in Windows XP (sp2) that will scan a document on my flatbed scanner. Windows IDs the scanner and installs a driver for it. The scanner had software that runs under 98se but the program will not install in XP and Canon, the manufacturer, will not even support it with XP drivers. I have noticed there is No Kodak imaging in XP. There is no program like it in XP? Does anyone know of a free program that will do the scanning?

info: Win XP(sp2), Canon FB630U (flatbed usb scanner)

I have a geforce 6200(128mb) in my second machine and its not a bad card,but i have seen a bargain in the shape of a H.I.S radeon x1300 with iceq cooling
is this x1300(256mb) better in the shape of core and memory clock speeds and pixel pipelines,i know the ram is better but basically is it worth getting this card to replace the 6200
i was going to replace my 6600gt on my main p.c but was advised aginst it by the answers community,however i have done a deal with a mate for his 2nd hand geforce 7900gt,which will blast my 6600 into submission
is it worth replacing the 6200 for the x1300?
cheers!
