I really want this laptop and after babysitting this summer, will have enough money to buy it. It's not like $580 isnt a reasonable price, becasue it is, but I just want to to make sure that the same product isnt out there (just as good) but cheaper.

Whenever I'm holding down my run keys in video games I all of a sudden just stop running like I'm not pushing the key. I have to repress the key to make my guy move again. This doesn't happen in this game when I use my wired keyboard, so it must be a wireless problem.

Are there any limits to the file extensions they support? For instance, can they be used to hold applications written in languages like C++, assuming that the program's small enough?

I extracted 2 (quite old) hard disks from my old computer and i wanna check them out on the computer i currently have.
And probably transfer some stuff i wanna keep on them and then remove them.

Is it safe to remove my current hard drive, replace it with the old one, move the files from my computer there, and then change them back again? Are there any risks?


How do i do this..?

I have a new A8N motherboard that will not boot. This is a replacement to another board that bit the dust. When I plug in the power cables the machine will turn on just fine. However the video card/usb ports/ethernet are not receiving power. The power supply is a Enermax Liberty 500. I am powering this up outside of the case, barebones.

The Liberty is a 20+4 power connector. On the original board I had a similar problem to what I am having now. I had to just use the 20 pin and leave the +4 off.

Idea's?

ok, once apon a time, I had a virus that corrupted my system, I took my laptop into a computer repair guy (apparently not a good one) the computer seemed to be fixed. Later on I notice for some reason I could not get updates. Then realized that my copy of xp could not be verrified. Which means that dirty b*stard somehow deleted my identification/registration code for the xp version I was using, and now I also have virus', spyware, addware. basically if there is an bug I've probably got it. and due to the fact I don't have a registerable operating system I would like to purchase one. Hoping to nab all the problems in the butt, I have already purchased a full version of mcaffey (sorry for spelling errors) now the question is what operating system is worth the trouble. ( also run 2 xbox 360's on a network with my computer so I would like to be able to run either, media center or vista so I can play movies off the computer through the network) thanks

I recently had the mobo in my desktop go up, and I am now considering a laptop as a replacement. Ideally, I'd like to get rid of my desktop altogether.

I mostly use what you could call the normal stuff on a PC-- iTunes, Abiword, Nero etc. Not a lot of video games, and the ones I play are fairly old (and ran fine on my GeForce 4 MX 440).

My major concern is that I also do some video editing/ripping, mostly with Handbrake.

Even for my desktop (3.06 P4, 1GB RAM) this was a pretty heavy load. My CPU usage would float around the high 90's. The laptop I'm considering will have a better processor of course (either Core 2 Duo, or Turion 64 X2), and at least 1GB of RAM, but it overheating is my main concern. I have never owned a laptop so I'm wondering ih can stand up to this kind of abuse.

Do you guys think I should go for it, or should I just replace my old desktop mobo (and slightly upgrade the processor and RAM) and keep it moving?

Suggestions? Past experience?

Hi I use a pentium 3 processor with 733 MHz clockspeed, and a gigabyte 6BX7 mother board. I want to run my processor at a higher speed and use some more RAM (my mother board does not support more than 128 MB)

What should I do to over clock my processor?

Can I run it to 1.5GHz, and use some 400 Bus RAM, and PCI Express cards with it?

My #2 PC will not boot up - all I get is the black screen saying "disk boot failure". Does it make sense to remove the hard drive from #2 PC and install it in my main PC? What is the likely result of carrying out this course of action? Both PC's use similar type of Intel Pentium CPU. There are other things wrong with #2 PC that make a repair uneconomical but I would like to recover data still on the hard drive if at all possible. If it can be done, I want it to be done properly and I don't have the confidence to attempt such an operation. If there is anybody in London NW10 (Harlesden/Park Royal) willing to do it for me, please e-mail me.
