I have a decent machine toshiba satellite.

512mb ram

2.0 ghz celeron processor

and a 128mb ATI graphics card

im going to upgrade to 2 gigs of ram soon and a bigger harddrive

do you think that may be enough to run windows vista home perium edition? my computer has a sticker that says it is vista capable!

or should I just stick with my awesome xp ^_^

but sooner or later I think Im going to have to get vista :P

I have a desktop computer with a wireless keyboard and mouse that hooks up to a USB port. I have had trouble with both and have replaced them three times with new ones. The ones on there now are from HP,the same brand as my computer. My question is if I buy a wired keyboard and mouse that uses PS2 (round cable) will it work? The problem is neither wireless mouse nor keyboard work. The computer might as well be dead. Please, your opinions count.

got some second-hand computer rams from my friend. How do I set it up? I mean, I know how to plug those rams into the slots of my computer... but what should I do next? Do i need to do something to "tell" my computer that I got more memory or I won't need to do anything and it will find out by itself? thanks.

I'm not sure what exactly it takes for building a computer that can render really fast. I'm starting to work with Poser 7 and rendering is sloooow. I was looking at whether to build one fast machine or use two moderately fast for rendering, since Poser 7 can utilize them. Also, not really sure the quality of a video card will help render faster, maybe a set ATI new Crossfire, or high performance dual ram from OCZ, I really don't Know, your help would be greatly appreciate, Thanks!

PS, I'm looking to build with the AMD X2 6000 and use 2 serial ata 300 and with a Abit or Asus MB that supports 2000 FSB.

The problem is that my game's edges look messed up and my computer won't allow me to change it... why is my resolution so high? I have a wide/flat screen monitor and when I tried to put it at 800x600 it looked too big.

My biggest problem is: all my video runs slow & looks like garbage. Someone told me that having more memory is the best way to fix things. I've already tried everything possible to get DVDs to play clearer & nothing seems to work.
