I was reading and the new Apple computers can run different types of Operating Systems with an approved licesned copy. Does this mean I can play The Sims2 on the Apple computer even though it runs for Windows XP? Please tell me so! I really want one for college, gaming, photo and video editing. If you want to, please tell me the positives and negatives with a new Apple laptop computer.
Tell me what is a good Apple laptop that is the newest. And if you could, give me the website to view the Apple computer! Thanks!

I was thinking about painting my kids' playroom with magnetic paint, but I was concerned about what it could do to a computer if we ever set it up as a study or office.

I installed a 256MB stick of ram in my laptop, so that now it has 2x265mb sticks. But it only registers 448MB. And I know it is the correct ram because I installed it from a computer that is the exact same model.......Compaq 2100

I saw a computer motherboard with 2 processors why is that?

Does that mean its much faster than one with just 1 processor?

I am considering upgrading my graphics card to one that requires 300 watts of power. My power supply on my computer has an output of 305 watts. I haven't taken into account that I would only have 5 extra watts for everything else in my computer. Is that enough power?

Hello,

I have just purchased a Toshiba Laptop running Vista, as well as a Canon Pixma iP4300 Printer. However, I am unable to successfully install the printer drivers. I have the latest release driver for the printer, which is suppossed to be for Vista, but nothing happens once everything installed, the driver fails to find the printer (and vice versa) and whilst vista finds the printer, it asks for the driver.

Hope someone can help, as once the printer installed I will be happier. Still wish I stuck with XP, as Vista is a bastard to work with, and so slow. Even with all the crap turned off and running in Classic mode, and this laptop has 1gig ram and dual core and dedicated graphics.
