I want to purchase a Memorex Disk Drive and the system requirements are Pentium 166 MMX or higher. I am unfamiliar with MMX. My system has Intel Pentium 448 MHz. I need to know if the drive will work with my system. Is MMX the same as MHz?

I have just recieved a new computer the other day and was wondering since I have 4 slots for memory ....non ecc if that helps. But I would like to put my old ram in the new system. The system has one ram for 512 mb already in the system. I have memory in my old system 512 (2x 256) and was thinking since they are both pc2100 ddr sdram that it would be possible to put those in as well BUT in the other paired memory slot. Just asking computer savvy people if that is ok for the computer or not?

I'm looking for a new graphics card for my 'pooter as I have several new programs that require faster rendering times. Unfortunately, I don't have full administrator privileges. Can I still install and configure a graphics card just the same? I can access 'Add Hardware' on the Control Panel and off the top of my head I can't think of any other possible conflicts so I assume that I COULD do this, but of course I'd like to make ABSOLUTELY sure before I try. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a hard core gamer and programmer, I also do 3D modeling, I'm heavy into music and movies, and also heavy into business use, so I need a laptop with good memory, big hard drive, and high CPU speed, and a good video card. I would like a mac, can they do all this? Or should I just go with Windows?

I don't want to leave it on at night (nor plugged in) when I'm not using it. It's a Toshiba laptop. For reference, I have many things plugged into it (all USB....external hard drive, wireless keyboard/mouse, USB hub, printer...etc). Currently, I'm putting it into hibernation; it boots up and takes a few minutes. Stand-by boots up much faster. I'm just wondering, which is your preference and why? Which is better? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

my wife and I are considering a laptop computer. We've always been satisfied with dell, but recently we were told that there are much better computers out there with similar prices. This concerns me because I like to watch my money closely! Anyhow, they suggested "looking other places" but couldn't specify where. Here's what we'll be using it for -
Internet surfing - downloading videos, music, ipod stuff, ebay, photo sharing, instant messenger services, and possibly communicating with family via webcam. Burning movies and DVD's is important as well. One very VERY important note, I will also be attending college this fall for Architectural science, so the computer is going to need to be able to support AUTOCAD at least! Also save and keep drawings on it as well. I know very VERY little about computers. I know the higher the numbers. the better, but i don't know what to look for!

I just installed a secondary hard drive as a slave unit to the first. I checked the jumpers and connections and it is showing device manager. What I am trying to do now is get it to appear under the "My Computer" section as Drive D as my original one is Drive C so that I can save different programs and files to the different drives. So anyone have an idea on how to do this?

I am having trouble with my computer and need help. For some reason my computer doesn't update correctly. Also I can't seem to change my desktop background. I have been trying to fix it and have had no luck. I tried reinstalling yahoo and that didn't work. I have to click refresh all the time in order to update my screens and make sure the info is up to date. Please help me fix this....I'm assuming it's something that maybe was deleting on accident from my pc that maybe needs to be reinstalled. HELP..

I have been looking for a laptop for a few weeks and I just can't decide. I have researched different types and because there are so many options, I am stuck between them. My budget is $1800-2000. I don't do any of that video editing stuff, I am more into music, pics, and watching/burning movies. Being able to easily take it anywhere is a must. My budget must also include the protection plans that they offer, an all in one printer (printer, copy, scanner), dvd/cd burner, a 1G-2G , and a router so that i can connect to the internet anywhere. And I don't want the laptop to look cheap.
