I poted a question earlier about hooking up a wireless router for my laptop. The guy said I need a USB wireless Adapter. Does it just plug into my laptop and works? I dont need anything else?

Specifically choosing between:

(1) http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/productDetail.do?c=1&oid=170744&carriage=3244

and the underlying PC in this package:

(2) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=999969900050013&type=product&productCategoryId=pcmcat103700050050&id=pcmprd69800050013

They are the same price at my local retailer. So everything is the same except the processor (1 GB memory, 320 GB hard drive, etc.).

In terms of use, I don't do much graphical gaming but I do multi task a lot (although with simple applications, eg / Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Firefox, etc. all open at once). Need to decide ASAP so thanks for your thoughts!!!

My sister recently bought a Dell computer. the computer has Windows Vista. Most times when it is restarted or shut down and then turned back on, Vista will look like it is loading, the little windows vista symbol will come up but then it will hang at a black screen. I have ran all of Dells onboard diagnostic tests, as well as trying start up repair from a vista boot disc - neither tactic yielded results. In fact all the tests said no problems were present. If I manually shut off the comp and restart it a couple times it ends up working and I dont have any other problems. obviously though this isn't a great way to do things. Any help would be appreciated

I am in the middle of having a new computer built and I have been offered a Harrion 550W PSU but the problem is I have never heard of this brand nor can I find any information on it? Could it possibly be a Singapore or Chinese brand?

Recommended is a 400 watt with a +12v rail at 30 amps, but on Dell forums I heard that my psu has successfully run an 8800gts, but will this limit performance of the card?

I got vista recently (upgraded from xp) and it was working fine but then i got a virus(my fault) and so i tried to fix it myself but i think i deleted some vital program or something and not my explorer does not work, it always says, windows explorer has stopped working and then it says explorer is restarting, then explorer quits and starts again, and it does this repeatedly. Its frustrating cuz i had to end the process and now i work without it and its hard. Does anyone know how i can fix this? Ive tried restore, last good configuration, both didn't work, i'm thinking of reinstalling my vista but if anyone has any better ideas i would love to hear them. Thx.

Hello everyone. Updates on Dell computers.

Most people, especially those who don't have good credit, or don't even have credit, complain about Dell products. Note that you MUST have good credit to purchase Dell products.

My Dell battery has died after 3 years of use. Imagine that, 3 years! Enough said. Great job.

Have you ever heard of keyboard silence? Well, Dell is the only computer maker to discover Keyboard silence. The Dell XPS system comes with an unique keyboard, allowing users to type without the disturbance of keyboard noise. Best ever!

Media direct: This feature allows you to play DVD and Music without booting up windows! Save lots of battery power.
The Dell XPS allows up to 8 hours of battery life!!! Yes, 2 duo processors and up to 2.30ghz

Those who rather not to be Dell customers are missing a lot in today's newest technology. Sony, HP, Panasonic, Toshiba, Comaq, Acer, Mac, Voodoo, etc, don't have the features Dell has.
