I want one that is not outrageously expensive, but yet, has fast connection to the net..and not the cheapest one on the block either! Maybe one that has good ratings...

Basicall im torn between an acer 5633 wlmi (intel core 2 t5500) or an amd(turion x2 tl52) powered dell. I've seen alot of negative reports about acers build quality, however the general specs are alot better then the dell for less money. Any advice or thoughts on these, or other brands would be great. I got a budget of £600 max. Thanks!

This may seem daft but I'm not sure if my intel pentium 4 3.06ghz processor is dual core or not, the pc was bought new about a year ago. When I view system information it shows the processor info twice, also when I go to device manage it shows the information twice as if there are 2 processors (dual core) can anyone shed any ligt as to if this all means I actually have a dual core processor. cheers.

I came across a couple of 7 foot long slide rules. They are "Pickett" brand and made of wood. Does anyone have any idea WHY Pickett would make these? Are they worth anything? They are too bulky and heavy to really use.

In the above site I have shortlisted 2 models one is for Inspiron 6400 with Intel® Core™ Duo Processor for HKD 5888 (US$ 755)
& the second one is Inspiron 6400 with Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor: HKD 6688 (US$ 858).

The expensive one is with Core 2 Duo processor. What is the difference in core duo & core 2 duo processor. Which one to buy & should be value for money !

By the way, I need this notebook only for internet with wireless connectivity, photos, documents or sometimes for gaming.
Thanks for taking out time to read my lengthy question.

I just purchased an Acer Aspire 7112 and it looks like it only has SPDIF audio output. I know it's a digital output but does anyone know if there is an adaptor that can go from SPDIF to RCA stereo? (ie plugging in speakers or even just headphones). Or is there another normal audio output on the 7112? Help!

I have an old school Dell computer. Dell Dimension 4100 to be exact... It has a 120 GB extra hard drive on it, plus a high speed internet connection... So basically, what I'm saying, is that it gets the job done. I have a less then one year old Samsung HDTV, and it has HDMI outputs, S-Video output, Y-P- whatver the smurf it is outputs, basically everything you need.... I want my PC monitor to display on the TV. I know I need to get a video card, plus a cord, I got a buddy that is going to hook it all up, I just want to know what people recommend. My computer is definitely not HD, my TV definitely is, and I want something that will optimize the potential between the two... I want to be able to watch my computer movies on my TV... I will either be shopping at Best Buy, or Fry's Electronics (I live in AZ), or on the internet, depending on the responses I get. This is my first time posting on here, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I just bought this morning a 1 GB ddr2 Ram and installed it in the second slot of my notebook's memory.
Now my question is, when i had only 256mb of memory, my operating system used an average of 80mb when no programs are running.
Now that it has 1.27GB of memory, it is using 450mb of memory with no applications/programs running. why is this so?

thanks.
