Thanks!

I'm getting a EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 320MB graphics card. And my princeton 19 inch lcd has a dvi and a vga port. But I only have the vga cord, but the 8800 won't support vga. But a dvi to vga converter is in the box with the 8800. Can i use the dvi to vga converter to use so that I don't need to buy another dvi to dvi cord?

I have been looking for a new, better video card to upgrade to and I have a Dell Dimension 2400 (I know, it's old.) Right now, I am using an nVidia 64 MB PCI card. I would like to upgrade to the Sapphire ATI Radeon X1300 256MB PCI Express card, but I am not sure if it will work with my system. Please help me out!

My laptop is pretty old, around 5 years old, and overheats in a matter of minutes. After half an hour it can be so hot that it has to shut itself down to prevent damage. I'm wondering, is this a common problem for a rather old computer? And is there some kind of solution?

I have a Dell Inspiron B120 Laptop. Well I regret buying this piece of junk because its been nothing but problems.

Now what it does is whenever I plug a USB device into the side ports. I shuts off immediately. When you turn it back on after about 10 seconds (because it wont let you turn it immediately back on) it says that you exceeded the power limits and the system had to shutdown.

Seriously the only thing I plugged in was a USB mouse. How much energy can an infrared LED take? All the USB ports on the laptop do this. It was working just fine just yesterday! And no it is no longer under warranty.

I have a computer about 5 years old with the Intel Celleron 1.7 GHz and I'm looking to buy a computer with the Intel Pentium Dual-Core 1.6GHz. Now I'm kinda out of the loop with the tech stuff, what's the difference between the two? How much faster is the Dual-Core?

"There is virtually no performance difference between the 64MB and 128MB versions of the Go7400; TurboCache shared memory compensates for the relatively small amount of video memory on the 64MB version quite well."

IS THIS TRUE? AND IT ALSO APPLIES FOR 7300GO?
I have read this here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=39568

Also, it writes:
"Nvidia's [shared memory technology] is superior, as part of it is done in hardware; ATI's solution relies completely on software and is considerably slower."

I want to buy an Acer laptop with Nvidia Go7300 64Mb because it has a Dual Core 1.73 Ghz T2080 CPU with 2Mb L2, 667 Mhz FSB.
There is an another too, with 128Mb Nvidia Go7300, BUT it has a slower Dual Core 1.73 Ghz T2080 CPU with 1Mb L2, and 533 FSB...
If the two cards have relatively the same performance, then the 1st one would be faster...
And I want to know if it is a good decision...
Please help me.

Thanks.

I downloaded this program at the suggestion of my school's tech help desk, and it says my temperature is 76*c and 92*c. I don't know why there are two values, but that's WAY too hot, isn't it? All I was doing was looking at youtube videos.

I have a lot of space left on my laptop because I bought an external hard drive.

The program is called "mobile meter."

What maintenance, or corrective procedure, should I perform after a power cut? Every time there is a power cut my desktop is either slow to boot, or fails to boot and I have to boot in safe mode. I use Tune Up Utilities and Ultimate Defrag to keep everything fast, but after a power cut, I get boot problems. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
