I got my girlfriend a PC recently, used. It was totally wiped, had to install an OS. Went with Windows XP. Anyways, I get the impression that it's a custom job as I can't find a model number for it anywhere. It has an integrated sound card but I can't seem to find any drivers. It has an AMD Athalon (XP) 1800+ 1.5ghz processor...and I don't know alot about AMD computers. The case says it's a "Tangent" but that's about all I can figure out. Can anyone tell me how to find out what sound drivers I need or anything else?

I am about to purchase a Macbook Pro. I do not like the 17 inch Macbook Pro because it is heavy and big...

I am in love with the 15 inch.

$1,999 for the 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1440 x 900 resolution
2GB memory
120GB hard drive1
8x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 128MB SDRAM

And $2,499 for the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
1440 x 900 resolution
2GB memory
160GB hard drive1
8x double-layer SuperDrive
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 256MB SDRAM

Now, my question is: Is there any big difference between the both?

When I am ready to install Windows XP Pro I want to partition my new drive but Windows does not recognize the correct size. How do I partition the HD into 3 partitions?

If you answer includes" Partition Magic" or SP2, STOP. You do not understand my question. Thank you

If anyone can help me out, I would appreciate it. I just got a new computer, but I really like some of the progrmans on the old one (which are not Vista compatible) and would like to keep both up and running, unfortunately I do not have enough room for both monitors and wanted to just use the one.

I'm looking to buy a relatively fast, self feeding (that is you don't have to lay it on the scanner itself) scanner that is not outrageously expensive. Does anyone know of a good one?

I Am lookign to buy a laptop soon and was wondering if the 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS, is superior to the 7800GTX. I got the 7800GTX in my desktop, and although its an old guy now, it runs really well. The 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS is DirectX 10 card, and its 383MB instead of the 7800GTX's 256MB.

But does that nessecarily mean the 383MB NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS is superior to the 7800GTX. I just wanna know for refrence so I can get a clue of what I am getting in a notebook before I order it.

It was working fine until I inserted it on a Samsung 202 digital camera which allows only 1 gig SD cards. It showed "error" and didn't do anything. I formatted it again but I ended up with 1 gig only. The make is Maxell. Any ideas?

Our old PC (from Evesham) has crashed for the 4th time :-(
so my dad wants to buy a new family computer. He has been to a local shop where they tried to sell him an xp machine, they also told him that Vista is bad at the moment and that he should buy an Xp machine and upgrade later. I think that it is better to get a vista machine for only 60 pounds more which has got better specifications and because Vista is the future.

Is Vista really that bad?
How could i convince him that it is better than Xp?
Do you know of any good quality, cheap and reliable vista models which PC world sell?

What should I do? Adjust my 19-inch monitor or change to a 17-inch? Are there any theories about the optimal size monitor for human eyes?
