Hardware - May 2007

I just got a new laptop and I don't know how to connect it to the internet...I've read that I need to get a wireless router, where do I get one and about how much does it cost? And is that the only way to connect to the internet on a laptop?

Thanx for all your help! =]

Hello, I have a Dell Laptop Inspiron 1501 running windows vista premium home edition, practically brand new. However, sometimes when it goes on standby on it's own or whenever I tell it to, it won't come back up. The lights and everything do (Wi-Fi light and battery light) but the screen does nothing. I end up having to force shut it down and restart. It's not a huge problem, just a minor inconvenience. So if anybody has had this problem, and knows how to fix it, I would be forever grateful! I've tried updating my drivers and most of the solutions I found when I searched here. Thanks again for any help!

I found an adapter that I want on eBay, but I don't trust eBay 100%. Is there any other website I can go to to get the exact same product as I have found on eBay? The link is

Ok. So, I'm installng some new RAM for my MacBook computer, as well as getting a cooling pad for it. Two questions:
One, once I install the new RAM, with BOTH sides (Mac and PC) of my MacBook recognise the new RAM and put it to use? I think it should, but wanted to check
Two, the cooling pad thing is new to me. How do cooling pads connect to the computer, if at all, and what exactly do they do? Is it just an extra fan, or does it do something else to cool the computer? Does it waist battery life, and are they good in general?
Thanks.

I need lightweight software for my g3 ibook with OSX10.3. Everything from browsers and video players, torrent downloaders, office productivity and such. Freeware is better.

im not sure if the X1950 is better because its got 512MB graphical memory. im not sure if the 8600GTS is better because when compareing graphics cards, websites compare the X1950 with the nVidia 7900GS and the nVidia 8600GTS is a higher model than the 7900. would that make it a lot better?

If i pull a Dell graphics card from a computer and put it in a computer that isnt dell will it work? I dont think it will since dells are wired differently to run at different frequencys.
