Hi all,

I found this Gateway MT3705 notebook from this site. It comes with the new Windows Vista Premium Edition.
Looks good to me and wanted to know what you thought of the price?

Here is where the deal is at:

Im having a computer built from a family friend who owns a wholesale computer software and hardware company. I got pretty basic stuff. 1GB of memory, 160 GB hard drive, dvd/ cd burner, 17 in lcd monitor, and he said the price is about 1500. I look in best buy add for an HP that has 2GB of memory, 320 GB hard drive, burners 17 in monitor, etc for $850. Is there a difference in the quality of hardware used for brand names (gateway, dell, HP, etc) than what an expert or insider in computer will use? thanks

Recently my comp refuses to go by usual left mouse double clicking into my second HDD's partitions telling me "Please go to the Control Panel to install & configure system components". I'm too dumb to figure it out. (I can use Explore, no problem).

I don't have the jumper on the second HDD set to "Slave", there's no jumper at all. I was lazy to put it in.

I own a business and use Quickbooks, but need to transport that information to other computers. Is it possible to have it installed onto the external hard drive instead of my computer's hard drive? Or can games be installed on there? Are they basically just useful for storing data and pictures? Kind of like a flash drive on steroids? Just wondering exactly what the external drives are capable of.

Sometimes my Operating System becomes unstable and I can't correct the problem. I have to install O.S. once again with all installed softwares and drivers. This becomes very tedious. If there is a way out of this such that we could backup our system with all installed softwares and drivers and get them back to work even after we need to format hard drive. To add to this I also want to know whether we can save ASR file on Removable storage media other than a floppy disk.

Based on helpful answer to previous question, I noticed that when I check my task manager there are about 50 or so programs running. Some say "SYSTEM", some are things like "itunes". This is when there are no windows open. I think is using up all my ram. It seems These things are running automatically everytime I turn my pc on.

I think I'm maxing out the ram memory on my pc causing video games and video to run slow. It has 512 mb. Can anyone tell me a good way to free up ram. Note: Games and video used to run fine. This is a recent problem.

Hi. I have a Dell PC laptop with pentium 4 window xp sp1,2. Recently when I try to play a video (from my camera, or youtube) it gets choppy. The audio stays normal, but the video slows way down. I've also had problems playing video games. The graphics slow way down to a stop-time kind of performance. I have a ndivia gforce graphics card. I tried updating the driver for that but it didn't do anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
