Hardware - September 2007

My work computer is a Dell Latitude D600. I have this laptop in a docking station with a regular keyboard, mouse, and monitor, but everytime I close the lid to the laptop, it goes into hybernate and I have to open it an log back in. Is there a way to prevent this?

It seems that most people find that built-in speakers in LCD monitors are pretty bad -- weak and not enough bass. Are there any LCD monitors that have decent speakers? They don't need to be loud enough to fill a room, but good enough so if I'm sitting at my desk I can reasonably listen to tunes or watch a video.

My university is selling the computers used in their computer labs as described above. The price is for the complete package-monitor, mouse, keyboard, cpu and speakers. I know nothing about computers technically speaking. Would this be a decent system to have mainly I would just use it to surf, play online games and download music. Also it would come installed with SuSe Linux operating system. Is that comparable to Windows?

Hi, I’m a Mac. And I’m a PC.

Hey PC, what are you doing tonight?

Well, I’m having the latest version of Microsoft Office installed, a fancy new printer hooked up and I’m going to play a whole bunch of games. How about you, Mac?

Erm... well I cost nearly twice as much as you, so now my owner can’t afford any of that stuff sooooo.... I’m just going to browse the net and check email.

I have a Lexmark 5400 series, and I have a problem. I can send faxes, but for some reason I cannot receive them. I checked the phone line connection, and that was not the problem. I read the manual's troubleshooting section, and nothing worked. HELP PLEASE!!!

I think so.
$1200usd for a 2GB ram? no screen, no key board, just a fancy cover.
Thats what I bought from Best Buy for $800usd last year!
and it came with everything to play games!

I have an LCD monitor VGA only, and a CRT (obviously VGA). Rig has GeForce 6600GT AGP (VGA, DVI, S-Video). Running Vista Home Premium. Questions: 1. Will Vista support this setup (I know my card will)? 2. Do I need anything other than a Male DVI to Female VGA Adapter (In Order To Utilize Both VGA and DVI Connection)? 3. Or do you think it is better to use a VGA splitter? 4. Also, does Vista allow different content on each monitor or does it have to be split view of desktop or windows... etc.? This is my first time out with dual monitors, so I want to get everything in one whack or not get anything if Vista doesn't support different content on each monitor. Please don't answer if with "Vista Sucks", "Get XP". This is what I have to work with.
