I signed up to get a free laptop just to see if it would really happen! I was just woundering if I would really get one or not! And the way I found this is when I was tryin' to find a song to download on my mp3 playa and I found a couple sites but I had to go though all of this stuff that I could sign up for and ya so I was really gettin' sick of all of that so I thought ok I will just try and see if I could really get one of these things so I tried the laptop thing where I guess you could get it for free so I tried it so I am just unsure if I should just keep waiting for one or not?! And it has been at least a week since I signed up for that!

In India, Hewlett-Packard is offering a free USB based TV tuner card with all laptop purchases. The brand is Hauppauge with remote, which they claim costs 6500 Indian Rupees.And I need to register the product and send them 500 Indian Rupees as postal charges.Now how good is the product quality? And what is the actual market price of this?
They also happen to be offering a free USB Based External Data Card with the laptops. Again I need to register the product and take a connection with Reliance Web World for 3300 Indian Rupees.
Now dont you feel this is a very cheap gimmick by a company like HP? The promotions are splashed all over and its only after purchasing and registering the product the customer understands he needs to shell out extra money to get these free offers.
Due to such company promotions present, the dealer also backs away from providing any freebies with the purchase, which they otherwise do. And finally the customer is kind off cheated by HP as well as the dealer

I am going to get a new computer and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what to look for as far as RAM or memory or gigs or whatever, because I have no idea about any of that stuff.
I use the computer mainly for surfing the net, music (burning/ripping cds & using Ipod), photo stuff (digital camera & photoshop) and using Word.
What would you suggest in a computer for me, because the guys at Best Buy are very unhelpful.

I changed out my video card yesterday. A friend of mine wanted me to test out one that he had so I went to do so. His card is an NVidia Geforce FX5200 128MB AGP. When I put his card in the monitor would not wake up on boot. I decided to put my card back in, thinking his card was shot. I have an NVidia GeForce 3 64MB AGP. When I tried to boot my computer normally, with my card, the monitor would not wake up. I have an old Expert Color S3 Trio/Virge 4MB PCI card I tried using in case the CMOS changed back to PCI video instead of AGP. Same thing happens. Monitor doesn't wake up. That's three video card and I can't even get to a boot screen to go into setup. The motherboard is getting power, I know, cause the fan's come on. Could a video card have messed up the MoBo though? I'm stumped on the problem. Any ideas on how to fix the issue?

I want to buy a laptop. And a computer with 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo cost almost 500 more than a computer with 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Is there really a big difference between two? Which would you suggest? Thanks

I have a Dell dim3000 w/ 19 in. flat panel. I have had it since 2004. In Feb 2007 I purchased & installed a microsoft wireless keyboard & mouse. (I have had no previous problems w/ these) Over the last month my pc and monitor shut off by themselves. Sometimes just the monitor or both. I thought it was one of our little ones but I've seen it shut off w/ none of them around. I have ran a scan on the drives also, & get nothing. I know plenty about computers, but can't seem to figure this one out. Does anyone maybe have any idea what it might be? Thank You! ; )

My new Dell Inspiron 6400 has a separate partition (D:) with recovery software that takes up about 10 gigs of disk space. I received CDs with my laptop to reinstall Vista, drivers and utilities, and software. So I don't think I need the recovery partition. I'll probably burn it onto a DVD just to be safe. I'd like to be able to use the 10 gigs.

When opening the "add printer" selection there is no way for me to select local printer, as this option is greyed out. How can I open this option up so that I can select a local printer and add a new port? I know how to add the port and have the IP address of the printer, but can't seem to add the local printer. Thank you.

Mac has better hardware, design and user interface but PC has better compatibility (w/games).
