Hardware - August 2007

I am in high school right now going to Junior Year and i was waiting for a good computer. I wonder if i should wait for Leopard to come out or not? This is my first time getting a mac.

When Leopard Comes out, will it have alot of bugs?

Will it be as horrible when Windows Vista came out?

Also, if i wait alot longer after Leopard's release, usually how long does it take to fix bugs? 6 months?

Thank you in advance!

Cleaning them with just plain water does not remove smudges. The monitor manufacturers say absolutely do NOT use regular window cleaners.

I tried to get it to turn back on for hours but it would show the blue screen after it loads when you first turn it on. After hours of playing around with I got it to turn by removing one of the sticks of ram. It works with one piece of ram but not with both. I tried switching them and it will work with one or the other but not both. I haven't changed anything on this laptop recently. Its a toshiba satellite pro m14-s405 and it has windoes xp pro on it.

I Have a Dell Inspiron 4100 desktop computer. I upgraded the hard drive a while ago to a bigger capacity. However every hard drive ( in total we have had 3) have failed. Now the 3rd one has failed and i'm wondering if it could be more than just bad luck?

7800GT extreme edition 256MB PCI-Express.
450 MHz vs 400 MHz standard and
1.050 GHz memory vs standard 1.00GHz.

Quite happy to play HL2 at a decent spec on my 19"ws
& it will run NFS Carbon maxed out and run at 20fps witch looks solid as a rock to me!
But knock the AA down a setting and it will run around 30 and there's no diffarance at all to me.

I order it on the 24/9/05.
Its never been OC'd or messed with! just as it was when it came.

24/9/05 so its almost 3 years old.
Its never been OC'd or messed with, Got a bit of dust on it but apart from that its just as it was when it came.

I've still got the RTL Box with all the DVI adaptors and a copy of far cry that came with it.

-----------

Thats what the seller put, its in good condition.

How much do you think this card is worth.

In pounds would be great, but if your american then i can convert the $USD.

I am just wondering if you could go online and scan documents in the memory stick without having to install the antivirus in the pc as my work pc only detect and automatically delete the infected files instead of cleaning.

Thanx!

hey so ive been having problems with a dell laptop where when it is plugged in, if you jiggle the cord where it touches the charger , the computer can turn on. But the problem is, whenever the computer turns on, you hear it whirring loudly for a few seconds, screen still black, and then it gets really quiet, screen still black and then it makes a quick beep and turns off. I have tried repeatedly without success to make it work again but it keeps turning off. It is all charged up too. Is there a way i can fix and preferably without buying anything?

I'm on XP. I have two different friends who are too. All three of us have this same problem. Many times we can not print until we restart the computer. Then it starts printing immediately. There is no error message. It just won't print until you restart the computer. I also found this message -
