Don't tell me eBay or the Flea Market I want to know places online that specialize in older hardware and software. I want to build or buy a PC that can play some of my favorite older games.

I also have a few questions concerning laptops, and i am extremely bad with computer-jargon so please keep answers simple. Do you have to have the laptop attached to the actual computer to surf the internet, play games, and write on word documents, or is a laptop just a mini computer with everything you need to go

I want to buy a macbook in the future, but want to run Windows primarily. Are there any drawbacks to bootcamp/dualbooting windows on an Apple/Mac machine? anything I can't do in Windows that I could normally do in Windows on a PC?

Hey, I have this slow **** emachines computer that im trying to overclock, ive figured out that with the current bios. So im looking for a bios that will work with my chipset that is full featured and allows me to change clock speeds.

My system is

eMachines - T3516

My mobo is -ECS (elitegroup) RC410-M

And my current BIOS is- AMI (american megatrends) V.080012

I REALLY need to mess with tha clock speeds its annoying not to be able to so any help is appreciated. THANKS! Please at least try to help, and before ya post i am aware of the risks accociated with messing in the bios and overclockering its why i have a spare mobo sitting around :)

My computer works, but it doesnt work well...It normally works VERY poorly, but everything (mostly) that I need done on it, it'll do (with complications but Ive learned to work around them)

last night my computer randomly shut itself off while I was in the middle of doing something and today I loaded it up and its like....A BRAND NEW COMPUTER!!!
there are no files on it, every single file I had on it is deleted (not a problem nothing important lol) and its actually...WORKING...as weird as it sounds thats unsettling to me...what has my computer done to itself? Why is it all of a sudden actually working? Any answer would help

I dont know why kind of hard drive I have (theres not name on it or anything) and its been working poorly for a while, and all of a sudden today its actually working like a computer should be.....why?!?!

any answer would be helpful because my parents have been thinking of buying me a new computer...so if this one is working I dont need a new one...HELP!

I recently bought GTA :San Andreas and want to install it onto my portable hard drive. The problem is that I move the hard drive around and the computers that I use assign different letters to the drive. Because of this, I don't think that the game will work on those computers. Is there a way of removing all the drive references and replace them with the names of the current computer? If not, I will return it (unopened) and buy something else.
