I have an HP Pavilion ze5385us.... the power cable is messed up and I'd like to replace it, but the ones on the HP website are pretty expensive... I have a different computer so if I have to spend over 100 bucks then forget it. Does anyone know of a good generic brand?

I wanted to get a sony because I think they look good (I know...that's a bad reason, but..), my dad wants to get me an hp because he thinks it's the best price and comes with the most for the price...k thanks guys

Okay, So I have 2 mac computers, which are both fairly old, but work great. One is a iMac G3 400 MHZ (Red in Color) and the other one is a way old PowerPC G3 500 MHZ. I want to be able to take the ram from the powerpc, and put it in the iMac, but i'm not too sure if it's the same ram card. I do know however that the iMac does store both PC100 and PC133 ram. Does anyone know what kind of ram came in a PowerPC G3 Mac computer? And if so, will it work with my iMac?

Check the computers out for yourself to better understand what exactly i'm talking about

There's something that I want to know. There are several different models of video cards and two major brands (ATI and nVidia). The thing I want to know is, what do the letters after the model number mean? For example, my old graphics card is an nVidia GeForce 6800 XT. What does the XT mean? I've seen several cards with the same model number BUT the letters at the end are different. I've seen XT, GS, GTX, etc. Which are better? What is the difference and what do they mean?

I have a computer with a small hard drive (15 gig) and I want to add a second hard drive for all my program files (200 gig);
I would like to leave the OS on the small HD for a (I think) faster/cleaner OS. After I add the second HD, how can I stop the installation and file saving on the "small OS" drive. Can I just change the letter designation in the disk management utility, or do I have to manually target each program install and file save?

I just bought a new pc, my old one was atleast 15 years or more old. I'm new to this stuff. ALOT has changed!

OK. When I go to "my computer" (WIN XP) it lists 4 different 'removable' disks. When I go to properties, it says device is working properly, and shows a "pie"=0%. It makes me feel stupid, asking this, but Are these removable disks, slots for me to ADD more hard physical drives, or are they actually AVAILABLE hard drives , that I can store things on?

I don't know. I tried calling HP, hardly anyone there speaks english very well. I tried their website, but it doesn't explain exactly what they're for. I guess it's the words"removable" combined with"disks",that's throwing me a curve. Could you please help me? I don't know who else to ask. I figured, I would feel more stupid later, if I didn't ask, and found out later, that I could have been using these disks all along. Are (F)(G)(H)(I) the same thing as drive C: & D: How can I find out?

Hey,
I've bought an OCZ mini-Kart. It's extremely small and I'm thinking of putting it in my back wallet but a little afraid of the possibility of being broken.
If anyone has put it in his wallet please let me know about his experience...
Thanks,

I need a laptop for school next year but I dont know which kind I want. The macbooks have the weight, size, and price I want and they offer a decent battery life. Ive never had a Mac, Ive used only Windows. I do not like Windows very much and while my PC is old now it never seemed to work very well. I frequently lost data, it always freezes, I had to do numerous system restores, so Im not too happy with my Windows experience, but its all Ive known about. So I understand that Macs dont freeze or crash or anything. I know its a different OS, but with some time I'll be able to learn it. People have told me that Mac doesnt have 2 much software available for it, but all I really want is a good computer that will last me the next 4 years of school and hopefully my small home office the first year or two, but that may be pushing it lol. Ive spoken w/ some people who got "great deals" on Dell or Gateway laptops for like 599 only to see them blow up in less than a year.
