The older of our two PCs is having a problem where the battery for the internal clock has died. The computer is still usable but I have to reset the clock and date anytime the computer has been turned off. It is a pretty old computer Pentium II but it serves as an extra computer for the kids to play their games on. Is this something that is easy to fix? I have installed drives and RAM and such but I have no clue what this battery look like.

Hey, I purchased a ABIT KN9 SLI NVIDIA Socket AM2 mobo. It looks great. Within in two days it it me. Why AMD? They may have higher clockspeeds. But intel has more cache and faster front side bus. Intel just seems so much superior. Should sell my mobo and go with intel or experiment with AMD.

i just got a new gateway laptop. i was sort of in small amount to spend so i went to best buy and got a gateway for 450. its great since its small and very nice looking what drives me crazy is that it only has 512 MB with a hard drive of 80G. this causes for the laptop to take at least 5 mts to upload and start up, this is bothering me alot so during the weekend i want to take it to wearegolden.com and i would like to know your suggestions on how to get this laptop to be at least normal fast. if you can point out the products in that website i would gladly appreciate it. im running windows vista home edition. thanks!

Okay, here's the deal. Way back when I owned a different computer in which I handed down to my younger brother, I was given my dads. On my old one I bought the Dominator ATI Radeon 9550 AGP 128MB Graphics Accelerator of which I fell in love! Sadly when I switched to this (my dad's old) computer that has a super memory, it came with a ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 Series. Now I don't know much about this one, it has DirectX9.0 and all but it's graphics don't match the love of my old one. I was wondering since I make a lot of Sims 2 movies which of the two I'm better off with? Now I need someone to answer who knows something about graphic cards, because I don't want to uninstall it from mine and not be able to install it into my brothers. (Seeing how the Dominator came with a CD and not the already installed one of my dads) Thanks for any help you can give!

16 year olds DON'T know everything. Lol.

I'll be putting this stuff in this computer - http://emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=T5226


I need to cool this card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150220



Since it doesn't have any cooling device coming with it I want it to be cooled. I have a 945G motherboard and it says something like LGA 775(think that is important but not sure)
