Before my ink levels get too low, I would like to know if others have had success refilling these cartridges. Any advice, tips, ink, or links would be appreciated. These cartridges seem to go quick for the price. Thanx.

I am currently running an HP a1740n with a graphics card upgrade to a bfg tech 8600 gt. OC PCie. It says it needs a min. of a 325W power supply but I currently only have a 250W power supply. I am playing games with the card at dx 9 level ( such as company of heroes) but there are glitches with dx10. Would the power supply be the problem? And iis it ok to run or do I really need an upgrade of the power supply?

So I'm low on cash, so I am going to buy a barebones kit from a website. The kit I want has the mobo, case, cpu and power supply in a bundle. So I was going to buy the right ram for the new motherboard and stick everything else thats in my current computer into the new one. They all work fine. So my hard drive is what I'm curious about. It has all my info on it, and so can I put that in the new computer without the computer going crazy on me, or will I need to reformat it and reinstall windows? Thanks for any input.

I have an older PC(2002, AOpen, 1.0 GHz Intel Celeron, 128MB RAM, Windows XP SP2) and I want to pass it down to a younger brother. However, I want to make a few upgrades(384MB RAM, and a 32 or 64MB video card)before. I need some info on the motherboard, but I'm not sure how to find this info. Is there any software(other than CPU-Z) where I can find this information?

OK, so this is what happened, I hooked up all the stuff, mouse, monitor, keyboard, speakers, printer, and the machine won't start up, and the screen just is black. It's not beeping. I have the monitor hooked up with a blue end piece on a cable that comes with it, and plugged into a wall, and the tower. And the tower has a power coard to the wall as well. It's an old one, windows 98, and this is NOT the same computer as my other question. what do i do?

I want to overclock my dell laptop, the E1705.

Processor: Intel Core Duo T2350

I do not know how to, so either a step-by-step explanation or a website that will explain it for me would be nice.

The card is a Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go 64M, I would really like to improve it because even though my laptop is 2 years old, still works great due to it's specifications, it has 100 Gigas HDD, AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+ and 2 Gigas RAM, so it would be perfect to get a better graphics card now. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks
