Hardware - February 2007

I'm a college student and looking to buy a new PC. I was having trouble deciding between AMD or Intel. I don't know much about either, all I've used is Intel. I am buying AVID editing software for film and need something that will perform well. Also, anyone have ideas of what company makes a good computer package? Thanks for the help

My friend got himself a MacBook Pro. I've got a HP. He won't stop blabbing how much better his laptop is. I'm really tired of it, because it is so childish. And he won't stop, it's been going on for weeks.

Eager to reward my daughter for her good school grades, we gave her a brand new laptop which works great and also a brand new There lies the problem. I saw INTEL 3.2 GHz and went for it to only to find that the stupid PC is USELESSLY slow. I do mean USELESS.... Absolutely useless. It takes ages to do anything !! It is an INTEL 'Cerelon' and came with only 256 of memory and so my question is: Will the installation of 1GB of memory bring the PC to normal speed ? Will it solve the problem ? Any advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks you. The model of the PC is "HP Pavillion a1507.uk" -- Thanks again

i am upgrading my p.c in the spare room,at the momoent it has a athlon 3200+,1gb ram and a nvidia geforce 6200(128mb)
i have a budget of £100 to spend on it and have found a 1gb corsair ddr3200 memory module for £51,and to compliment it a geforce 6600gt(128mb) for £46
at the moment my memory configuration is bank 1)512mb 2)256mb 3)256mb = 1gb
so i will take out one of the 256mb modules and replace with the 1gb module giving a system memory of 1792mb
adding this improvemt with the geforce 6600gt is this a worthwile upgrade considering the budget and the processor it has
any feedback will be usefull
thanks

When I partitioned my hard drive, instead of making my C:Drive my main drive, I made E my main drive which holds all of my hard drive space. When I tried to install Vista, It said I did not have enough room on C. How can I make it look at E instead of C

Which one is better? VGA or DVI?
I heard many people have troubles while they are dealing with DVI... is it because something has to be set in BIOS first?
so I should use VGA?

My configuration is as follows:
512 mb ram (3 years warranty), 160 gb hard drive (sea gate) (3 years warranty) with intel dual core processor 2.8 Ghz, 945 GLL, sony FDD, 17 inch crt color monitor(samsung), ATX cabinet with free chair, table, webcam, and HP printer.
All with 1 year onsite warranty.

The shopkeeper is saying the cost to be 30,000 without any software installed.

Please tell me whether is it worthy to give 30,000 for this configuration.

I am a BCA student with less knowledge about the hardware.

I am looking to do some online parttime jobs hence i need internet connection.

So suggest me a better configuration and whether is it worthy to give 30,000 for this system.
