I've tried ClockGen, but it doesn't have the proper plug-in, nor can I find one. I also tried www.overclockers.com but still found nothing. This is my last place to turn...

This will be for a somewhat gaming laptop. I am not terribly too concerned with graphics as much as i am with how smoothe games will run. The cpu on each will be a intel core duo 2.0 ghz w/ 800fsb, and both have 2gigs of ram. All components are essentially the same except the video card. I have checked out various comparisson charts such as the one on notebookcheck.com but i do not know what to make of the different stats. I know the 8600GS performs better, but with graphics put aside, will the 8600GS really play games SMOOTHER than the 8400g to a point where I can detect? I am not a huge gamer, but would like to play some newer games, like graw 2 coming out pretty soon, or some fairly high demanding games.

Hi there,
My computer decided it's time to go to computer heaven (or wherever dead computers go), so I'm in the market for a new HP laptop. My problem - I know absolutely zilch about graphics cards, except that they sort of control the quality of what you see on your screen.
In my info-finding-mission, I've come accross 2 laptops with the exact same features, but different graphics cards - one has the Radeon X1300 and the other has a Nvidia GeForce Go7400.
Now, I mostly use my computer for my work - I write children's educational material, which means word-documents, and some work with graphic programs. I do also use it for watching DVD's and some recreational gaming (AOE, Empire Earth, Caesar, etc).
Which would you recommend? Or are there any others you would rather look at?

I recently tried to clean off my hard drive and reinstall everything. As I was putting all my backup files back on the PC it said I had no more disk space. I checked and lo and behold the disk is full. Now all that should have been on my 40 GB drive is the OS and some basic programs-all of which fit fine before. Did I not really clean the drive in the first place?

So on my motherboard i have 2 dvd/cd drives connected with 1 IDE cable, and originally i was going to find an external enclosure for an internal floppy drive of mine so i could use it on my computer, but havent found one. My question is, if i get an IDE cable that has 3 connections, for 1 connection to dvd drive/1 connection to cd drive/1 connection to floppy drive, will it work? And also will I need an IDE controller card and how would that work?

Unfortunately I dont have any open 3.5" drives on my case for the floppy drive, but i have the side panel of my case open so I figure even if i connect the floppy drive internally,i can always set it atop the outside of my case, or on its side on my desk.

I'm kinda upset because a month after i bought my laptop (hp dv2500t with vista home premium) with the intel x3100, hp gave the option of getting the 319MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS video card. Is the intel video card bad if i dont do much gaming? Is it bad if I do do some gaming? is it worth wishing i had the the nvidia card or is the intel one good enough?

I had to get a couple of laptops for my business last week and I've been tweaking the h e l l out of them. who else here has or is doing the same thing? I can't believe how much crap was running when I first booted. I think I have reduced the number of services running by close to 25%

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage from your computer. If this is the first time youve seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again follow these steps:
Disable or uninstall any antivirus, disk defragmentation or backup utilities, check your hard drive configuration, check for any updated drivers, run drive/F to check for hard drive corruption, then restart your computer. Technical info: 73478347834freuijk3 bloah

When I first get on my account I insert the disc and nothing comes up. Then I went to my computer to find the CD-ROM drive and I couldn't find it. Isn't the CD-ROM drive under devices with removable storage or not. If it isn't where is it and what's it called.
The only icons I see when I go to my computer are 3 1/2 floppy and Local Disk (C:). Is there a problem?

I accidently removed my USB flash memory from the USB port while my PC was in the middle of copying data to it. When I re-insreted it, a message appeared saying the device was not formatted and prompted me to format. Apparently, the PC can detect the memory stick, but cannot read anything on it. In fact, under "properties", it shows both zero free space and zero used space. My stick has 4GB of data on it, which I dearly need since I am traveling in a conference. If I format, I'll lose it. Any advice guys? will deeply appreciate it.

There is a device here in the USA called Mailbug, which is a small keyboard and screen which doesn't need a computer. But having checked with them it is not available in the UK, however there must be something similar?

Hi, my computer is going wacky and I was thinking of buying a new one and I was thinking of a laptop/notebook. Do any of you know the best and cheapest way to getting a laptop? And do many laptops come with programs like Microsoft Word and other programs like that. Anyone who has a laptop would be a great help and how you went about to getting your laptop. Thanks, any help is appreciated.
