that name come from---seems like an odd name for Gateway to name a computer as it certainly wasn't me or mine that named it that.

The 7300 GS EVGA seems good with all its ratings and requires 250W power supply, has 550 MHz core clock and 533 MHz memory clock. Has 256MB GDDR2 video memory.

The 7300 GS Sparkle seems exacly like the one above but it doesnt have any reviews or ratings. Has core clock 550 MHz and 256MB DDR2. This cards information states it has DirectX 10 Technology.

The last one 8400 GS card has no reviews but seems its the newest, has DirectX10 support which is good for future gaming , etc. It has 256MB DDR2 memory and 450 MHz core clock and 800 MHz memory clock. It costs exacly/or even less then the older first one.

Which is best and what do the different memories mean? (DDR2, GDRR2) which is better too?

Sites like MyInk and 00inkjets, which sell generic-brand printer ink for about $5... do they work as well as any other ink cartridges?

I have purchased two printers one from Epson one from Lexmark neither will work under vista,
Lexmark say my computer is too old (its only four years old)
In the motor industry you must be able to obtain spares for 5 years modern cars have software is that covered?

It happened suddenly. The image flickered and it remained red. Can it be my video card? Or my monitor? Did anything like this happen to anyone else?

Asking this question repeatedly from the last 15-20 days. So far not successful in solving this problem. Please help.

My UPS stops working for a second when ever the power is cut and then starts working but the damage has been done.

I have just replaced the battery of my UPS but when the power is cut, the computer (sometimes) shuts down for a second and then restarts but it already causes the problem because I lose all the data.

I am from India & have the best available UPS connected to my IBM Think Centre desktop & 15" TFT monitor.

Please note that it happens sometimes and not always.

I have already taken these measures:-

a) I have replaced the old batteries of UPS just recently by new and genuine ones.
b) Tried changing the power output point (from where UPS takes power supply.
c) Have verifyied my UPS by installing UPS of my friend, the problem remains.

What is the reason of this problem and how can I solve it?

Since its summer time my computer is beginning to overheat when i play games and my monitor just blacks out. My computer makes a annoying noise when its hot and dusty. So i opened one side of my computer case and have a small fan blowing into it. The noise eventually lowered and I'm able to play games again. Is this safe?
