Hardware - February 2007

I found a great deal on a printer, but it says "compatable with windows, windows 2000, and windows xp" - it doesn't say anything about being mac compatable.

I've got this computer that is verrrrry out of date and i've been looking for a new one in the $900 to $1500 range. I want a computer that does not cause any hassle and I can depend on to work every day. Any suggestions? I don't want a laptop.

I just bought a computer that reads

"Dual-Core Mobile Performance"

AMD mobil rion 64 X2 Mobile TechnologyPerformance

I asked the sales guy (kid) "Does this computer have a dual processor? He said it did. I thought I was getting a duo computer.

I was supicious from the wording "dual-core PERFORMANCE"

Reading Yahoo answers I leared my computer is not really duo computer.

I think I'm taking it back, even with the 10% restocking fee.

Here is the answer I read:

Dual core is not an actual implementation it is just a double core processor having their different cache and shared bus. So if a one processor want to communicate with the other then it has to do the same by means of system bus.

But in case of Core Duo the two processors have a shared cache which is shared dynamically. means all of the cache can be used by one processor if the other one is free or do not need it. Also processors can comunicate directly.

Also core due requires less power as compared to dual core.

so go for Core duo processor

I was wondering if it is possible to use a bluetooth headset, like the ones used with cell phones, on my computer if I purchase a bluetooth adapter for my computer. I am thinking about getting a free aim phoneline, and want a wireless microphone to use with it. Thank you!

I have a toshiba satellite 1450. I recently replaced the power jack on it. I can see power is getting to it because the ac adapter light and battery light are coming. It just won't start up.

I am looking to buy a gaming computer, but haven't ever done it before. Can you give me a general overview of what exactly I should look for?

I'm looking to run Guild Wars at maximum graphics with a lot of speed to spare, and eventually World of Warcraft when I get back to that.

I recently unhooked everything from my motherboard and rehooked it (for mainenance purposes). It still has the old operating system installed (I didn't reformat or reinstall the windows yet).
But all the 3D graphics programs that I'm running (moddeling, games etc) are lagging now, the movements are choppy and it is much slower in general. I need to brain storm of what it might be.
Here are the possibilities that I came up with so far:
1) I thorowly checked all the hardware (and tested it) the only thing that I've noticed there is a dark (burnt?) area at the edge of the Ram stick plug-in. Can my computer still run with the damaged DDR2 stick?
2) I simply need to reinstall my Operating System since it has been 6-7 months and I have been doing a lot of graphics work on my comp.

I understand that it is a very general question but if you can help me brain storm I would appreciate it.
