And if so; is a centrino core 2 duo a 64-bit processor?
Also, can normal 32-bit programs be run on 64-bit platform?

My T40 laptop was stepped on by my lovely toddler. It has a "bleeding" type line going down the screen. Is it possible to replace the screen, would it be expensive I assume? Its a Thinkpad..older version. Any help would really be appreciated.

My old computer came with a moniter and it had Windows Xp. The moniter was too dark but we found a thing in the settings that was gamma something and we could make the screen brighter. Well, our old computer broke so we got a new one just last week and it has vista. I can't seem to find the thing in the settings to help me make the screen brighter. Any ideas as to where it would be? or mabye another way to fix it. the moniter settings (with the buttons on the moniter) are turned up as bright as they could be.

I have 4gigs of RAM, plus another 512meg on my video card. Vista can read 3.65gigs. I NEVER see RAM usage posted at over 50%. Wouldn't the unit run faster if it used more RAM and stayed away from the page file?

I feel like I've just wasted half my life, or several hours of it anyway, searching Ebay, Froogle, Craigslist, Target, Walmart, Best Buy and Circuit City trying to find the best deal on a laptop!
I know I need at least 80gb hard drive. And I know I need it to be able to do wireless as I will be using a router for home networking.
And that's about all I know. I've never had a laptop, only home desktops.
My confusion is seeing prices for some laptops with only 20 gb being more expensive than some that have 80gb and I can't figure out why the difference in prices? Why sometimes it seems like laptops with better features are cheaper than others? I feel like I'm missing something here.
I'm hoping someone might explain the process on how to pick a laptop, maybe point me to a good one I could buy online safely, and last tell me if I'm out of my mind to think I can get one for 400$ or less. The cheapest I've found so far is 448$ at the Walmart website.

When viewing pictures (Picassa or windows standard viewer) my pictures appear squished top to bottom. On the standard 20 inch monitor they appeared fine. I tried setting resolution to 1024 x 768, the monitor buttons dont seem to allow any adjusting there, but it is set to 1024 x 768, H: 48KHX V:60 Hz.
This widescreen monitor makes the pictures look compressed? How do I fix that?

I have decided to build my own pc and so i was wandering what was better, an AMD Motherboard and processor or an Intel One.
Also do you have any suggestions on some good ones for a gaming pc.

Cheers

I don't know anything about computers but after doing a little research this is what I have learned...
I have a Sony Viao PCV-RX650 here are the specs
http://www.docs.sony.com/release/specs/PCVRX650spec.pdf
My current graphics card is NVIDIA TNT2 M64 32MB 4x AGP 3D
I only play the sims2 and due to my graphics card it runs a bit slow and I can't run any of the exp packs that require either a graphics card that is:
ATI Radeon 8500 or greater or...
NVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS or greater
So I need to upgrade to either of those options.
I know the Viao doesn't have the greatest power supply; but can someone suggest graphics card that would meet those needs. I would be sooo greatful. I was looking at this one http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2940959&CatId=880
would it work?
