The reason I ask this is because I was wondering how effective MS Vista is at using a USB pen drive as an extension to a PC's RAM as opposed to using a swap file on an internal hard disc.

Surely the hard disk is faster when it comes to data access speed, so why use a USB pen drive?

I am in the process of buying a Laptop. The laptop that I am looking at is the Toshiba Satellite P100/S00 Notebook. What I am not sure about is the screen size I should get. Should I get: a 15 Inch Laptop or a 17 Inch Laptop.
Which is better??? And do issues such as performance, Battery usage, size and portability come into consideration?

The website for the specifications of the Toshiba Satellite P100/S00 Notebook is:

I recently built a computer and I just connected my fans and my DVD-drive in one long series circuit. Is this bad for the components as in will there be a significant diminishing of power to each component and will that result in under performance? Some info: my power supply unit is a 500 Watt ATX Rosewill

About a month ago, i must have had a virus. I lost all my pictures i had on my hard drive and am kicking my self for it. I had to reinstall just about everying. I try to play music (which i lost too) from Windows Media Player, and a pop up says "Cannot play back audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding." UH... no way.!!! I haven't done anything except a hard cleansing of all files from the computer. What the heck do i do?

I want to hear music on my computer again.!!!

I currently have the classic log on prompt (for some reason, like two month ago it changed by itself from Welcome Screen to Classic log on)
It didnt bugged me until i started sharing my computer, it just takes longer (typing in account name and password). So I tried to put it back to Welcome Screen. After I click "change the way of users log on or off", it pops an message saying:
"Client Services for NeClient Services and Netwaretware has disabled the Welcome Screen and Fast User Switching. To restore these features, you must uninstall Client Services and Netware"

my question is where and how can I uninstall Client Services and Netware so I can fix this thing? I try looking at Add and Remove but found no program called Client Services and Netware.

Thank you for your time~

I recently built a new computer. SMART status says hard drive is bad, so I'm going to RMA that from newegg.com. Other than that though, it took literally 5-10 minutes for the windows xp pro cold boot (when u first install the OS on a newly built PC) for the Windows Setup to show up (the blue screens). Is there something wrong with my dvd-drive? I'm pretty sure it isn't the motherboard, RAM, CPU or graphics card.

My computer crashed a few months ago and upon inspection, the motherboard is finito. I use the computer for my Pro-Tools digital recording software. I found a matching motherboard on E-bay, however, I'm no computer wiz.

Is there a way I can transfer the hard drives from the crapped out computer to another hard drive using the existing connections?

My compaq x1000 says my battery is going down. I am plugged in, but instead of the light being green, the light is off. The weird thing is my little icon is telling me that it is plugged in. It knows it is plugged in and the computer should be getting power, and yet my computer will soon turn off. Is there a way to make it start taking in power again?

Okay. I am looking for a laptop great for holding tons of music, pictures, and documents. Like, a TON. It needs to be sleek yet sturdy, fast yet under $1,500.
Do I get a Mac, or PC?
Which is better, and why?
Can't you not have Windows on Mac?
So...Mac or PC?
10 pts! Thanks!
