I was thinking about purchasing one, or even both, but what do you think is better, I know a laptop is more convienient, for traveling, but as far as memory space and the overall things you need on your computer would a laptop store it, if you had to choose what would it be? And what is the best Laptop to purchase?

I have been having alot of problems with my touchpad on my laptop. It often "freezes" up and won't let me move my cursor UP, it will move sideways, but not up. My keyboard works fine and everything, it's not that my computer is frozen, and I have tried to look at the advanced settings for my mousepad. but I am not really seeing anything to help change that. I was curious if anyone knew if this is some kind of problem with my laptop, or if it is something that could possibly be controlled. Thanks :)

IS there any speed loss or bandwidth loss or is it as good as if it came right onboard. Im interested in using my PC to make music and the firewire setups are said to be better so I want to make sure before i get the firewire card. Thank You for your help.

I need a good graphics card for my computer, one that will be able to play the game Blazing Angels, and Flight Simulator.

However, I am very cheap, and don't want to spend to much money on it. I would like some good suggestions for my computer, for a low price. Links to some would be very helpful, and I prefer Circuit City, as I do have some gift cards there.


Thank you, and below is infomation about my computer, if it help:

Pentium 4, 2.75 ghz
512 MB RAM
60 GB of memory
Windows XP
and it's a DELL

So as I was typing a key flew off the keyboard. Normally I can pop them back in, but I have a laptop now and the keyboard is different. It seems like theres two white springs that press down. What I said probably doesn't make sense. I took a picture, maybe it will help
