Whenever I try to watch a DVD, the video becomes laggy during intense scenes, and then goes totally out of sync. I've updated all the drivers, nothing seems to work. I had a 6600GT that worked perfectly before I installed the 7600GT. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to decide between two laptops; a Compaq Presario V2000 and an IBM Thinkpad T41. Both are light with a great screen (14" Wide on Compaq and regular 14" on IBM) One gig of Memory (2700 DDR on both) and an 80 gig Hard drive on each laptop. I'd be using the laptop mostly for school. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

All the video cards out there offer the amount of memory that they provide. But why the incredible difference in price between cards with the same amount of memory? Dell offers a 256MB card for over $1,000 and another for less than $75. Clearly there are other factors to consider, but what are they and how do they affect the performance?

I don't see arcade type track balls for computers. What can I use to make the game more enjoyable, rather than ruin my mouse driving golfballs?

I bought a video card for my PC a year or so ago (It's an ATI Radeon 9250). It's not the best video card ever, but I'm able to run fairly graphics-intensive games with it. Unfortunately, I'm reduced to playing most of those games at the low-mid level graphics settings. I'm wondering whether I should buy a new video card or upgrade my RAM (I'm running on 512 mb at the moment)? Or should I just buy a new computer?

I prefer supporting consumers rather than businesses, and I'm wondering if there's much point in learning how to support Macintosh computers and their users. Macs don't seem to break down much. Anyway, I appreciate your thoughts.

I have an old compaq laptop. I was on it this morning and it just went dead. I tried charging it but the light that shows up once you connect the laptop and the charger isn't even showing up. It seems the the little metal tip inside the charger slot has been moved or broken...any way to fix or replace it?
