Right now I think I have about 256, it only shows 192 on the system when I pull it up, but the store we purchased it from says that it has over 200... I really don't know. We had the Notebook completely redone because it crashed.

My laptop has always been slow. I use my computer for uploading pictures from my digital camera. I have a few photo editing programs. Itunes/Mp3's, Ipod. Basically, my computer is used for fun and I don't really have many programs on here because it's already slow enough.

I don't know if I should go with a Gig or 512MB. What do you all suggest? Thanks.

My motherboard usb connectors went out. Since then I have bought a PCI card so I could have usbs on the outside of the computer, however, I still have equipment that needs to be connected directly to the motherboard. Are there PCI cards that I can connect this type of equipment to or some other option. Preferably, I need to connect a card reader and 2 sets of usb ports. Each one of the devices connects to the 9 pin usb port.

I was looking at some new graphic cards for my dell and it only has PCI slots. Are PCI express cards compatable with PCI slots?

I recently wasnt able to have my media player work when i installed a new motherboard, I went and reformatted the hard drive did all the driver updates for everything and still didnt work. Due to a corrupt windows file I had to reformat again. This time i checked my media player right after formatting and it worked. It worked up untill I installed my nvidia geforce 6200. I went and got the newest update for that but i am still unable to stream videos. So I would like to know if anything whats left to do?

Everytime i try and uninstall any program from the control panel, rundll pops up and uses 100% of cpu usage and thats it. Nothing uninstalls, the comp just stays at 100% usage with everything running extremely slow no matter how long i wait. I dont have any viruses or any type of ware ( i just reformated my disk ) so i know its not the problem. Currently i do use Zone alarm security suite which has some program features and i do use tuneup utilities which has an uninstall feature (which gives the same results resource rundll hog). Those are the only two programs i have that have any connection to any program. This problem is really starting to bug me because most of the time im just uninstalling manually (deleting program files/registry) of whatever program. Any suggestions? Much thanks in advance. Oh and the rundll stalled even before the reformat.

I was on my gateway laptop, which I bought about there months ago. I didn't have the battery in so it was plugged in…. Until I accidentally unplugged it… When I turned it back on all my documents in Microsoft Word, Pictures, and some software was completely gone!!! While other softwear was still there. I don't get it the plug came out, and this has happen before without me losing my work.... so when the laptop turned on again my work was gone! I tried restoring my computer but this does not work.
How can I get my work back!????
Oh and all my internet favorites were also gone.
