I have a cd recorder and writer on my comp and recently purchased an external dvd writer (samsung). when I installed it it took the place of my cd drive. When I go to copy a dvd it (the dvd writer) is reading the dvd I want to copy but when its done and it tells me "insert blank dvd" its telling me to put it in my "D" drive which is the cdrom drive and it is the only choice. How do I install it so I can use both separately?

I plan to build a computer. I am really confused about what CPU I should get. For $209 I can get 2.4 GHz at 1000mhz and for about $4 cheaper I could buy the Intel CPU and it works at a measly 1.86 GHz but slightly fast bus speed of 1044 or something. What's the catch, why can I get so much more from the AMD? Is AMD just not a good CPU? What does Intel have that I should pay more for?

Please, I would like to know what other people know about this.

Checked configuration,Ink cartridges.Everything is within normal operating parameters.However when trying to print in monochrome the paper is fed through with minimal print head movement.(3 or4 times across platter when printing afull text A4 document)Printing the same document in colour and there is normal movement of the print head and the document is printed correctly in whatever colour font from the colour cartridge. THERE is nothing wrong with the mono cartridge I even replaced it with a fresh one to make sure.As far as I can determine the answer has got to be associated with whats causing the print heads lack of movement during monochrome printing

I'd like to add a second dual core processor later so that computer would eventually be a "quad core", but I'd like to start with just one dual core processor. Can this be done? Does anyone know what AMD processors this can be done with?

I want to upgrade my Dell Dimension 3100 PC from 2x256mb DDR2 Ram, to 2x512mb DDR2 Ram. I found what I wanted at a PC Store yesterday, but the guy asked me which one of the above it was? Can I find this info out without having to remove the cover to look at the existing RAM? Also, I know it's 533mhz if that helps.

Basically, when I'm playing a song or watching a video on youtube, the audio crackles. I'd say I get normal audio about 85% of the time, but the rest of the time it throws in annoying sharp crack sounds that sound as if they're part of the song or audio file.

This problem occurs in headphones, too, it's not just the speakers, and it seems to adjust according to volume (the louder the volume, the louder the crack noises).

The listed sound card is "Realtek High Definition Audio", driver version 6.0.1.5334, dated 12/1/2006. So they're pretty new...

Just wondering if anyone has a solution as the Acer tech support site isn't too useful and I don't really want to take it back to the store if I can avoid it, just seems like a lot of hassle.

Thanks in advance.
