Hardware - February 2007

I am deciding whether I should buy an imac or a Mac Pro. I currently have a labtop but hate it because of the overheating. I just want to make sure I don't have the same problem if I buy an Imac.

Hi,

on my laptop, the video card shares abt 32MB of memory out of the RAM. I recently bought more RAM, and i would like to allocate more shared memory to the video card, making it a 64MB, or a 128 MB. Is there a way to do that?

It just shows an "X" instead of showing the amount charged. The USB battery charging plug thing is green, not orange, but if I unplug it, the computer immediately turns off! HELP! What do I do?!

Can anybody help?

I really dont want Vista...there are too many issues with it. A Mac would be a last resort and they are very expensive.

I was on the internet and my Winamp program would not shut down. I shut down the laptop and tried to reboot but nothing happened. I am getting power because the light is on and I hear it running but the screen is dark and will not go into Windows setup. It won't go to Windows at all so I can't use the F8 key to start in safe mode since none of the keys work. Any suggestions?

I have an external hard drive that all of a sudden will not show up on the computer, it never got banged around or anything. I have alot of files on there that I really want, but I see that most data recovery services cost around $500 to get your stuff off.

I'm wondering if theres a way to have the hard drive fixed by a computer shop of some sort, or if that would even be cheaper?

I'm just looking for a positive answer here haha.

thanks.

I know classes could help me, but I don't really care to fork over $500 for one class where I could go online and read instructions for free, yet I still get the hands on experience I would need. Any websites or books that could help me learn more about building computers.
