MY current PC RAM is 256mb DDR PC2700 Samsung, I have checked with www.crucial.com that my pc has one empty slot in which I may insert a DDR PC2700/PC3200 RAM to increase its performance, but one slot can only take 512mb. So I am about to purchase a new 512mb DDR PC2700 or PC3200 RAM, if I buy one from a different make like Kingston, will this affect my pc performance, or even not work? or does this not make a difference?

My HP pavillion notebook within the 1yr warranty period was sent to canadian service center with overheating issues. They changed the Fan unit and the Mother board. When I recieved the machine I was surprised that they have not replaced the original mother board of Hp Pavillion since they confirmed they don't have in stock and is on back order ,but replaced it with a Compaq Presario motherboard. Now when I restart my machine it shows a Compaque logo ,the help center page shows it is a compaque Presario total care page they have flashed the BIOS to make it look llike Pavillion removed the Product no..
I had to send the machine to them 3 times and it is almost 6 weeks now . They have eaten up my warranty of 6 weeks although I was told they will repair within 3-5 days.Despite complaints to repair center, arguing with case manager ,writing to CEO about the whole issue , they don't care and don't reply.Please suggest what should I do?Is a legal notice only option? Thanks

I'm using a Dell photo all-in-one printer 922. When I turn the main printer power on the power button lights on but none of the buttons work, including the power button. Also when I try to perform any printer actions using the computer it tells me the printer is not connected. I've tried restarting the computer, adjusted the printer cables and turning the printer on and off but nothing seems to work. Help!

Which one of these should I buy:

HP Pavilion Notebook with AMD Turion 64 X2
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8216423&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat103700050043&id=1166236071888


Toshiba Satellite Notebook with Intel Centrino Duo Mobile Technology

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8206265&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat103700050031&id=1166235562088

I'm not sure as to which is a better deal (if there is a huge difference b/t the AMD 64 X2 and the Core 2 Duo, b/t the Nvidia Geforce Go 6150 and the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950, if the high-def screen on the HP is worth it, etc.)

Both fit within my budget so the extra $50 for the HP is not a problem, I'm just curious as to which is the better laptop overall.

I really appreciate any help! Thank you in advance!
