Hardware - February 2007

If I purchase a USB wireless network adaptor, for a desktop, that can get speeds up to 108Mbps and I place the desktop in the same room as the router, will the internet speed be the same as using a network cable? Will the USB Network Adaptor, with 108 Mbps, be fast enough to play games?

i have a hard drive with windows vista 32 installed on it, but i ordered and installed a new hard drive on which i want to install windows vista 64 (my pc supports 64-bit, so i don't have to worry about that)... when i insert the WV64 dvd to install, after clicking "next" a couple of times, a screen comes up where i have to specify the partition i want to install windows vista 64 on, but it doesn't see any partition at all, unless i connect my old hard drive. i want to know how to make windows vista recognize my new hard drive. any help?

i have foxpro program and running a simple accounting program which includes posting of collection and ageing of accounts.

but what am concern is, the more i posted a collection, the slower the program computes of amount it totals. its like the program re computes everytime i add an item..and i want to make it run faster.. what should i do? should increase my RAM or upgrade my processor?

my pc specs are:
AMD Sempron64 3000+
512mb ram
256mb video
250gb Hard disk (IDE connection) /
(does SATA hard disk help increase the computation?)

thanks

It used to jump just on occasion. Currently it's like a pulsating jump. It's really annoying me and freaking me out. I checked the outlet and it doesn't seem to be the problem.
Is it my screen? Or my processer that is causing it? What's going on?

I want to buy a new 1680x1050 PC monitor...however, my PC is an older 2.8Ghz PIV with a 6600GT 128MB graphics card and 1 G memory. I usually play newer games (pre-2007) at 1024x768 on my 17 inch CRT with good results. I don't think I can play games a the native res of the new LCD. If I play at a lower wide-screen (or 4:3) res an I going to have serious "scaler" problems? How "bad" can this look? Does it depend on the brand of monitor? Is it worth it to buy the LCD before I upgrade my system? Thanks.

I recently had to reinstall my version of Windows XP home addition. Everything seems to be working well now, except for the fact that I have no sound. My modem beeps when advisor messages pop up on my computer when a windows alert sound would normally play. I know my speakrs are working properly, and when I go to device manager it shows a Multimedia Audio Control, though it shows up with a yellow question mark. When I click on the controller it tells me The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28). It is an onboard sound card, and acorrding to Belarc advisor my mother board model is a ECS M863 1.0 What do I need to do in order to have sound again...
