I have 2 towers, one with Win ME and one with Win 98. I was hoping to connect the two so I can use all the hardware of both simultaneously without using two different systems. Is this possible? If I can do this, will it combine the power of the processor and /or increase the memory size?

I used to use Cartridge World, but they've gone into administration. I really don't want to buy new carts, as the waste is terrible, and pretty expensive. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

I want to increase my RAM from 512MB to 1024MB. I would like to have a go at doing this myself. Can you help or direct me to a thorough UK website to follow.

I have a Medion PC. It has two Samsung DDR-SDRAM PC-2100 (133 MHz) "cards" as advised by the PC Wizard 2007 software. Size - 256 MB (1 rows, 4 banks) x 2.

What do I exactly need to ask for to increase to 1024MB and which website would you recommend that I purchase from.

Actually I don't know what video card is inside my above described computer. As I am planning on buying a LCD monitor, would like to know whether interface is important or it doesn't matter? Thanks.

I have a user at my job that is an applications developer and he has a Dell 2.13GHz Dual-Core, 2048MB RAM and a clean Hard drive. His problem is that the processes that he runs uses up half the memory and he can't open alot of applications. He can't even open Task Manager when he has like 8 programs/folders opened. I have the same exact specs as his PC and I have no problems. What should I do? More RAM? Professional advice would be appreciated.

I scroll the mouse around on a blank screen, and tap the space bar repeatedly for half a minute sometimes before the screen finally "wakes up". I want to just be able to nudge the mouse and it wakes up. I've seen some computers that seem to do that.

My dvd drive unit has packed in but I am not sure it's to do with the mechanics of the actual unit. I seem to have lost the driver - so, my questions, where can I download a driver for this model. Have done Google searches but can't find one. But then I can be a lzay sod from time to time.... Cheers!

last night, I decided to format my PC, and Partition my harddrive to stop me losing files when I format it again, but when I partitioned the drive, I had both partitions at exactly the same space , IE: 50% each which was fine, but as soon as I put windows back on my system, (XP by the way), I noticed in My computer, i still only had one hardrive listed with the full amount of space IE: 80 Gig, but I wanted 40 on each, can you tell me if windows XP can have a partition on the drive

thank you in advance :)

PS i did, delete partition, and create logical drives and format all of them

My dad says that upgrading to a newer graphics card every time results in a kick in the butt. Do you think he's right and how come he knows how to use computers?

I'd like to get a flat-panel lcd monitor to use with my laptop and for watching tv/movies.

What monitor would you recommend? I'm looking for something that's around the 20" range.

And how DO I watch TV on it? I looked around and read that I'd need a TV Tuner or Slingbox? No idea what those are =P...sorry not a techie person. (Can't I just connect the cable line to the monitor?)

Hi,

I have looked everywhere and found nothing.. so I am asking here.

I have a Sony Vaio VGC-LS20E and I am trying to connect it to my new Plasma TV. The plasma has a VGA input spot as well as spot for svideo and HDMI inputs.

HOWEVER.. my Computer has NO 15 prong VGA slot, has NO dvi slot, and the S-Video just didnt work...

My Plasma has a "PC In" area where you plug a VGA from the tv to the PC but like i said, my PC does not have a vga slot.

How do i do this, I'm going NUTS!!! Is there any type of special cord I can use for the VGA from my TV to a USB on my computer or something?

PLZ Help! Thank you...

Additional Details

My Computer is an ALL-IN-ONE so the monitor IS the computer.

My Computer is not even a year old. It has a slot for the red/yellow/white cables and an s-video on the back of it but when i connect them to the plasma it does nothing.
