Hardware - March 2007

When I remove the new card, the OS does start. My question is, do I need to add two cards. I mean, there were two original 256 mb cards to begin with. Do any additional cards need to be added in pairs?

I bought a Logitech Quickcam for notebooks and it works. But it is SO light sensitive. And if there's not enough bright light, the pic will come out fuzzy-looking. I can't change the lighting in my apartment, the light bulbs just don't shine that bright.

I just purchased a laptop and would like to get internet service. I don't have a home phone (just seems useless with 2 cell phones in the house) and wireless service through sprint or verizon is quite expensive. So is there an inexpensive option for internet service on a laptop? (I am not worried about being able to connect anywhere and everywhere as long as I can get on at home) TIA

I have a Cingular Razor and an Apple G4 powerbook. Both have bluetooth and communicate very well together, but I haven't been able to get an internet connection off of the computer from my cell phone. I know this is possible. Is there any speacial information I need from Cingular? And when I do get a connection how fast will it actually be?

I've been looking at iMac's for quite some time now.

And I have concluded that I do not need a Mac book.

So tell me if this iMac will be a good buy...

Apple® 17-inch iMac (MA590LL/A)
APL MA590LLA
• 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• Burns DVDs and CDs
• 17-inch WXGA+ display • Wireless-G/Bluetooth
• 1GB of DDR2 SDRAM
• Built-in iSight camera

Is it fast enough, big enough screen all that stuff.

And will this suit my needs:

Music

Movies

Photos

Online Games

Editing

And all the other media stuff.

So all you Mac people out there this is your time to tell me

WHY and SHOULD I buy this Mac.

I recently put together a computer. I uses an Elite Group motherboard, (1066 FSB)PC 2700 DDR ram, an Intel Celeron D Processor with a speed of 3.46 GH that needs only a 533 FSB. My operating system is Windows VIsta 32 bit home premium.
I have overclocking disabled in my bios, and have all the fail safe defaults enabled.
I had to exchange the processor because it blew after three weeks. My old processor was an integrated Amd Athlon 64 that ran at 2.16 GH and I never had a problem of this magnitude with it.
So why would an Intel blow out like that?

in the shops they seem to be anything from £500 up to £1500. Surely they dont cost that much when they are all made in china?
And is it relatively easy to do or would i need an expert?
