On Newegg, the motherboard I'm buying says "Notice: Only DDR2-800 memory supporting JEDEC approved 1.8V operation with timings of 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 is supported on Intel Desktop Boards based on Intel 965 Express Chipsets."

The RAM I've bought says 2.1V for voltage and 5-5-5-12 for timing. Will it work, or should I cancel the order while I still can?

My printer is automatically printing the alingment page as and when I switch it on in addition to taking so much time in printing the first document for which I give command.

I have been advised that I should reinstall it. I understand that I can uninstall it by going to add or remove programs. Could you explain the step by step procedure of installing it as I am not much conversant with the computer methods and techniques.

I am debating whether or not to add bluetooth to my new laptop. I'm not even sure how useful it will be. Just sounded fun to have! If it is a big energy drainer though, I will pass. Thanks!

My speakers were working fine, but they had to be unplugged, and when I plugged them back in, I got this "no audio device found" error every time I try to play MP3s and no souds will play except system sounds. The speakers are plugged into the right port on the computer and into the sub, and the sub is plugged into the wall. The speakers are Creative SBS 390, and I'm using Windows XP media.

Can regular DVD±RW/CD-RW read HD dvd or does it have to support it?

I'm planning to buy a laptop. I have no specific video card type in mind but would like to know which performs better given the advances in technology - nvidia or radeon. The laptop is for office/business use and for gaming.

I already have an existing wireless adapter on my main desktop that feeds my internet signal to my laptop. However, whenever I am out of range I cannot get signal. I would like to be able to take my computer in a public place and get online. I am wondering if I need a wireless network card or what can I do? Thanks

Which would perform better under multitasking (I mean like, encoding/ripping DVDs while playing games like Oblivion)? The obvious advantage of the Quad is twice the cores (though some people are saying its not a "true" quad, which I dont understand), while the E6750 has a higher FSB (1333 MHz vs 1066 MHz) and seems to be the more popular choice at the moment (and its 100 dollars cheaper). I'm also big on overclocking, and the G0 stepping on the Quad is drawing me closer.

So which would perform better for an overclocking, multitasking, high end gaming beast?

Oh yeah, and I'm not limited to just these two processors, if you have a better suggestion, let me know (but I'm not spending any more than $350 on a cpu, otherwise I'd get the Core 2 Extreme)
