Hardware - January 2007

If I buy RAM can it be used up?
And if so how can I erase everything on it?
Thanks,
Rom

Does anyone know if a Dell 17" LCD flatpanel monitor would be compatible with like an Acer computer? My friend says it is and I just want to double check to spare myself the trouble of having a computer with no monitor, or having two monitors. Thanks

I want the best laptop I can get for $600-$700. I've been looking for one but it seems like the cheap ones have a larger screen which makes me think that the cheap ones with a large screen aren't that good. A 13" sounds good. Also, can you find me a site with a good variety of laptops to purchase.

I have two PCs on a wireless network. I have a DSL router/modem combo provided by Verizon (its a Westell VersaLink model 327W), and both my PCs have D-Link DWL-520+ wifi PCI adapters. When ever I try to log in using my Macbook Pro's airport, both of the other computers lose their connection. The Macbookbook can connect fine, but i must turn it off and reboot the PCs to get them back online. Any thoughts?

Note: My dad's IBM Thinkpad notebook also caused a similar problem. Is there any router settings I should change, or should I try updated this ancient D-Link cards to something a little newer?

Thanks.

I have a message on the display screen saying there is a paper jam, but there is no paper in it. I've cleaned it in case dust was obstructing it, cleaned the print heads as the instruction book say's, everything. But it still says there's a paper jam. Any ideas?

A friend of mine bought a USB SD/MMC card reader from Ebay, a Hong Kong seller!! He's trying to use this on a machine running windows 98 but has not got a driver for it. The card reader is not branded so do not know who the manufacturer is. Is there a generic driver that will run the reader under windows 98?

I have a Compaq Presario 1700 laptop that's a few years old now. It's got a Pentium III with a 1000MHz CPU, 256MB RAM (two 128MB sticks), and a 20GB hard drive (of which I have about 1GB free space). Since I only have two memory slots and both are used up by 128MB sticks, I'm thinking of replacing one of them with a 256MB stick (according to Compaq's web page, the laptop is only upgradable to 512MB). I would love to replace both with two (2) 256MB sticks so I have the max of 512MB total (or better yet, buy a new laptop), but I only have enough in my budget for one (1) 256MB stick, for a new total of 384MB (128MB in slot one plus 256MB in slot two). My question is, will an extra 128MB of RAM even make much difference in my situation, or should I save my money?
