I have changed some bios settings and managed to get AGP card to work. But the pentium chip is only showing half its real value! I checked BIOS and it still shows true value. Only shows half at boot up and on system info once logged in.

System is ABIT VH6 II motherboard with Pentium 3 1000mhz, 256mb RAM, AGP card is 3d prophet geforce 256.

Can anyone help with BIOS settings as I may have missed something here.

Thanks in advance

my mouse all of a sudden stopped working. I've plugged in different ones but they don't work on the computer either. I even tried a brand new mouse...still nothing. Otherwise the pc is working fine using short keys. Any ideas what this could be?

I have a new dell laptop inspiron 640m.
The internet connection is very slow. However not always. If you search using google/yahoo it is still its usual fast self at getting the responses, however if you then click on any of the sites returned by google/yahoo it takes an age for the sites to load. It is not my internet connection as if I test using my old computer the internet is as fast as usual.
It is not the wireless feature on the laptop because it still does this when connected using a wire!
I think it is some safety feature that dell/vista have introduced or something else that slows everything down, anyone have any ideas? thanks to any responders.

I have the new MacBook that I got for Christmas, but the thing is I have really, really bad dry eye that I'm trying to fix, and flat-screen computer monitors make it a lot worse. For some reason, LCD TV's don't (I'm guessing because they're farther away, or because the image is bigger so I don't have to look at it so closely) so I want to use my TV to do things like school reports and stuff when I absolutely have to use the computer. I'm not overly computer/electronics-savvy so if you guys could try not to use technical terms it'd help out a lot. Thanks=)

I just purchased a brand new GateWay computer at Best Buy, with 2GB of memory, and Window's Vista Premium Home Edition installed. I purchased an Anti-Virus, and we have Comcast High Speed internet which, of course, comes with it's own Anti Virus software. It feezes up quite frequently, to the point that I can't push Ctrl-ALT-Delete to restart computer. Could this be the new Vista software working out the bugs. Or is it the antivirus's that are installed. I don't think it's the interenet, because sometimes it freezes up when we are not even logged on to the internet. I'd just like to know if I should call the manufacturer of the computer, the Geek Squad at Best Buy, or someone else. Any thoughts?

Hello,

I've been hearing a lot of comments for macs like: They are wonderful for designing, they are taking ove PCs in the next decade, they are so fantastic on doing whatever tasks...

But I know for sure that there must be some disadvantages associate with Macs, too. Will someone tell me something on that "dark part" ? Thank you.
