Hardware - August 2007

I want to upgrade my Dell Dimension 4600 to a newer graphics card. It has AGP 4x/8x support. I have a 250W Power Supply. What are some good graphics cards to play games like Age of Empires III and Civilization 4?

OK, in plain english, can someone tell me if it is possible for me to view what is on my computer monitor on my TV? I have some videos on my computer I want to watch full-screen on my TV. The computer and TV are about 3 feet from each other. I have no idea what jacks or plugs or whatever they're called I have, so if you can tell me EXACTLY what I need and where to get it, that would be awesome. Thanks!

I have a dell and it is a few years old. The keys are screwed up and it is running slow. It doesn/t have any viruses or anything wrong with it. I think its just age. But I need a new one but don't really want to spend a whole lot. What is the best cheapest lap top I can get?

I have a Dell Dimension 4600. I am upgrading the RAM. It currently has two sticks of DDR 256MB @333MHz (PC2700).

Which of these three setups would be best:

1. 2 sticks of DDR 256MB @ 333MHz (PC2700)
and
2 sticks of DDR 512MB @ 400MHz (PC3200)

2. 2 sticks of DDR 256MB @ 333MHz (PC2700)
and
2 sticks of DDR 512MB @ 333MHz (PC2700)

3. 2 sticks of DDR 512 @ 400MHz (PC3200)


I plan to use this computer for playing games. Please tell me which of the three above setups would work best for my computer. Do not tell me to upgrade to a higher frequency of RAM, because this is not possible with my motherboard. Do not tell me to upgrade to DDR-2 RAM because that is also not possible.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, I know that I am about the only person to still use a typewriter. I also know that typewriter ribbons are still manufactured. But as I imagine that one day in the forseeable future they won't be, is it possible to simply soak them in ink in order to make them usable again?

I am a graphic designer and I use both an iMac and PC at work. However, I want to get a computer at home. I'm debating between an iMac or a PC. I'll be using it mostly for CS3, photography and web design. I don't want to spend alot of money. I have to have Microsoft Office to be able to do online classes. (Enrolled in Web Design)
I know there are lots of things you can do on a PC that you can't do on a Mac and visa versa.

Someone please help!!!!

It is a Dell Inspiron and one of my keys popped off from the keyboard. I have tried at length to maneuver it back on myself, but I can't. Where can I take it where someone can fix this professionally?

I am not a hardware specialist. Can I increase the size of my disk space (drive C) without erasing anything ? Do I have to add another drive or can I, and if so, do I have to erase everything? I am using Windows XP.
