Can it handle the requirement?

I have a sony vaio PCG-GR170K. I bought a dynex PCI card but it did not work. I want to be able to go to Starbucks, at home with my router or any coffee shop and use their wireless internet. Should I still go for a PCI card or a USB?

I have a brand new Acer Aspire 3680 notebook bought from Alaska. I'm in the Philippines and I was told that I have to plug it in a 110 voltage transformer. I used an extension and plugged it in the 110 V in my pc's avr. Now, formerly, I drained the battery (being that it's my first time of use). So here's the problem...the notebook won't open/charge, I really don't know. What happends is when we press the power button on, the batter light just flashes. We tried it for 3 minutes then we took the plug off. Help anybody...is my laptop broken? What do I do?

My laptop gets really hot on the bottom to the point where it will just shut off completely. I always do disk cleanups and try not to overload it with extra programs. Why does it do this? It is very irritating and my warranty has already expired, so i can't bring it in .

Sometimes when my husband is using the computer, a message comes up which says " End of memory line 56"

Does anyone else get this and what does it mean?

Now I must say I'm quite intelligible when it comes to PCs but when you get into these much much deeper aspects of hardware my knowledge begins to slip...

Anyway, this is my processor and all of its Super-Geek stats as provided by Intel:

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA45#

Now I could give a Toss about the things like the Core Stepping or the Voltage and etc. but the one that bothers me is the Bus/Core Ratio.

The Intel pop-up that tries to explain it seems vague-ish, and wikipedia only says its the ratio between FSBus speed and Clock Speed.....

But if that were the case my value shouldnt be 10 should it? In my math it came out as a ratio of 2.5 (or 5 if you consider each core as 2.0ghz...)

Heres what I did anyway:

(2.0x10^9) / (800x10^6) which is the scientific notation for 2Ghz/800Mhz. My answer is 2.5.

SO my question is:

-Why is my ratio 10?
-Does each core run at 2.0ghz or 1.0Ghz?

I just dropped my laptop on the floor, (by accident, sowwi laptop lol).
http://www.microlanbh.com/Portals/Default/Laptops/Dell%206400.jpg I will describe what's hapenned according to this picture. On the left hand side, on the screen, level with the 'Dell' logo, there is a rubber 'bubble'. Under there, where the metal is joined to the plastic it has opened up. My laptop won't stay put when it's screen is tilted further than 100 degrees without the support of some paper to stop it doing so. Also there is rubbing out like material that is coming out when the opening is well opened. Is this stuff safe? Is it ok to leave the laptop as it is? And what shall I do to stop this from getting worse and how can I keep my laptop screen as I want it?
Please answer as many questions as you can using your knowledge. If what your saying is a guess, please state that. Thank you sooo much in advance.
By the way, my laptop is 2 years old.
