Hardware - June 2007

When I try to print something it goes into some kind of fax mode. It says no printer is hooked up at all. The connections are fine. Any suggestions?

Ok so the E6420 is a 2.13 Ghz dual core with 4MB L2 cache and the E6600 is a 2.4 Ghz with the same cash, same FSB same everything from what I can tell other than 270 MHz. The question is, from a performance standpoint, Should I go with the 6420 and spend the extra 50-60 bucks on the video card, (I was going with an ASUS 7600 GT 256 for $109) and OC the 6420... OoOoooOoor, should I get the E6600, oc that sucker and stick with the V Card I have? Need some good oppinions here. THanks!

Hi, I have had a laptop computer my whole life, and for some reason I am under the impression that desktop computers are slow. Are they? can they be as fast as laptops?

I don't want to bother going out and buying a usb bluetooth adapter so I was wondering if there was something out there on the internet I could just download and be able to connect my bluetooth enabled phone to my laptop. However I realize I may just have to cave and go buy the adapter. Any info would be appreciated though.

I recently bought Command and Conquer 3, Tiberium Wars, for pc, and nothing but problems has followed. First, i needed a DVD drive, so i got one of those, now my video card is not up to spec, i have a dell 2400, and looked on their website, hoping to find a solution, i didnt. I have 3 PCI slots in my computer, and just about every graphics card (it seems) is PCI-E, or PCI Express. I cannot use this, but i need a nVIDIA GeForce 4 PCI graphics card. Any one have any suggestions?

After I unplugged my dell and plugged it back in. Everything sounds like it gets power (hardrive, fans, etc.) But my front power light stays a constant yellow, and so does the monitor. Any help appreciated.

I have a Acer Aspire 5100-3357 ( bought at circuitcity). I was wondering if there was any way to make it faster or overclock it for gaming. If so, how?

So, it's pretty much summertime now and throughout the winter my graphics cards would be pretty much at a steady 50-60 degrees. But now that the weather is warmer it's now idling at 89 degrees. My computer has 2 case fans and there's a fan on each of my video cards(SLI). I don't have the money to upgrade to a better cooling system at the moment, and when i play battlefield 2, 10 minutes into the game the graphics gets really laggy and the fps goes down to like 3-5. So my question would be, are there any settings that will reduce the temp of my video cards by giving it less of a workload? I don't want them to overheat or anything, that would suck. thanks in advance!
