Okay, recently my laptop is being strange. A few days ago I uninstalled this online game that I didn't want to play anymore. Then later on, I noticed my laptop's audio and video being slow and scratchy. So I restarted it and it took a longer time than usual. The video and audio was still slow. It's very frustrating and I want it to get fixed quickly. Should I go to the Geek Squad?

~I like to play games, so good video card wld be nice.
~I prefer any edition of Windows XP. I DON'T want Vista.
~I would prefer a NEW one (not used or refurbished)
~Under $600.00, as low under that as possible. The lower, the better.

What is their conversion to each other? Where can I find it (that is if you haven't given it to me by answering this, lmao!!) I know I have them in order, from least to greatest... I'm just not entirely aware of the values of each.
Thank you for your assistance... D'oh!!!

My old computer is broken and I want to trash or sell it but I do not know what part I need to keep. I've seen shows and they say you should safe guard or destroy a certain part of the cpu. Which part of the cpu should I remove?

I have an old(er) computer, which has a 500 Mhz Pentium III processor. The connection for the processor is outdated, as I understand. (see link)
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium-III/L_Intel-500-512-100-2.0V%20S1%20(front).jpg

I was wondering if I could take a 1.6 Ghz Pentium 4 processor (different connection, see link)
http://www.ixbt.com/cpu/intel/pentium4-16ghz-oc/p416a.jpg

and somehow buy an adapter to make it compatible with the older-style connection.

Any suggestions? Please proivide links, if possible. Thanks.

The fan is making lots of noises, and I plan on having someone else install a new fan since I cannot figure out how to get the thing out (I see no screws, latches, and pulling doesn't get it out either). I am not trying to be sold but I would like something of better quality than this. How much should I spend? Are there reliable brand names anyone knows of?


Thanks!

i spilled coffee on my laptop. now to get the coffee out would it be wise to imerse the laptop under distilled water or alcohol. the harddrive is not working and the touch pad is sticky. i dont mind a coffee flavoured laptop but i would prefer a working one.

Thinking of upgrading my processor from AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ to a AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+

Will I have to change anything in the BIOS, or will the driver automatically update over the Internet, or is there some software included with the processor or something?

My OS is Windows Vista h.p

Thanks
