Can I connect a Macbook or Macbook Pro to the old bubble-style monitor (the ones that came in blue, orange, etc.)? I've had my G5 tower connected to it (through adapters) since 2004, but it's been a while so I'm curious...

I just bought a 750gb IDE hard drive (Seagate) and installed it alongside my original 120gb SATA drive.

Problem is, I'm finding that games run significantly slower when I install them on the IDE drive. Most games have some stuttering, and a few even drop into single digit frame rates (said games run fine in the 30-60 fps range when installed on my primary drive).

I know IDE is slower than SATA, but this is just ridiculous. Is there anything else that could be causing this? The IDE drive seems to be working normally, it transfers files and plays movies at what appears to be a normal speed.

Hi, I've heard that windows Vista requires 512 ram for itself. is this true? does it mean that if i only have 512 ram i cant install vista?

I am looking to buy 2gb of DDR2 RAM @ 667. I currently have 1Gb.
I am already ordering some stuff from Tigerdirect, so I would not have shipping charges.

This is the ram I am considering from Newegg:

This is the ram that I was looking at from Tigerdirect:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2341730&CatId=1386#detailspecs

I would buy two sticks of the one from Newegg. Both prices are about the same (with rebate and shipping). Which one should I buy?

I have an HP desktop computer with Windows XP and it seems to be shutting down randomly without any indication nor warning. It has a 2.5 Ghz processor and 512 MB RAM memory. Could this be due to an accumulation of dust within the case or what could be some problems? I dont download much of anything so I doubt its a virus or trojan.
Thanks!

hey i just bought a samsung syncmaster216BW monitor but im having some problems. Everything comes up all the way on the right, so far that i can't see it. This could be because of the screen or the nvidia graphics card i just installed. I would do something like go to desktop properties or something but i can't because its too far on the right! I've tried all the buttons on the screen and nothing. If there is anything i can do, please tell me. thanks

I moved. And when I plugged my speakers back in my computer, they didn't work. I don't even get a ding when I change volume controls. I think it may be a problem with my computer, as I tried a different pair of speakers, and they don't work either. I have checked my volume control panel, and nothing is muted. yes, it is plugged into the back. windows has determined that my drivers are up to date. i just got this hp computer in february, and i have windows vista. i use my commputer mostly to listen to music. please help.

I am buying this monitor-
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005097

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 5200 graphics card. It has a different connector than DVI. I need to know if this will effect the qualit of resolution and what type of converter cord I need and where I can purchase it. The monitor and my card are female. I was told that I may need to update my system altogether for optimum performance but I am hoping this is not the case. Any and all help regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
