Hardware - September 2007

I recently purchased a 1gb sandisk memory card for my digital camera. I heard you can put music on it and then transfer it to a ps3. I put the memory card in to my computer where it goes. I then click my computer then memory stick. After i click on it, it suddenly freezes and all the icons on my desktop dissapear. It is annoying because i have to restart it everytime then. Please Help

I have decided that this is the laptop that suits me. I am not a heavy PC gamer. But I love that it has 200Gigs HDD, HD DVD player, 2 Gigs or RAM. But I am not digging the CPU. Is it possible to upgrade to like 2.0 or higher GHz? I also plan on getting a better battery, because the battery life for this is poor. Maybe if it's possible, upgrading the Video Card... But I just don't play PC games. I mean, Oblivion is probably the heaviest graphic game I own and I just don't play it anymore.

So, can you help me find out where I can customize this? The Toshiba Website won't let me, atleast what I see.

I use my computer personally and for school. It has dual hard drives recognized as C: & D:, a back up partition recognized as E:, & a DVD drive recognized as F:. It's been configured by the IT department to connect to a network drive when on campus known as "The Student G: Drive", as well as a personal storage H: drive.

The problem is that I also have a 500 GB Lacie external hard drive that I occassionally connect as well as a 2 GB SanDisk flash memmory stick. Sometimes I plug these devices in and Windows XP automatically recognises them and assigns the appropriate I: or J: designation.

Sometimes when not on campus & as such, not connected to the "Student G: Drive" (Always present under network drives in the My Computer Tab), XP will recognise my Lacie/ SanDisk drive as the "Student G: Drive". Other times it will not allow me to connect to these devices at all even though the "Remove Hardware" icon shows up.

Can I set XP to always connect to the Lacie as I: drive? How?

My budget is $500-$600. I want the best laptop for that price. I know the budget is on the low side but I have broke a sony vaio and it was expensive and i don't want to invest a lot of money on another laptop

I'm a 4th year college student

essential features I'd like:

light, easy to carry around
word, type
internet access
wireless
usb ports
fast

other features are important too, but i don't need something fancy

so please recommend the best I can get with the price range of $500-600

thank u!

I don't quite get it... My Pentium 4 has a clock speed of 2.66GHz and there a bunch of Core 2 Duos w/ less- around 2.0GHz. So, is the Pentium 4 better? I always thought the higher the speed, the better, but also thought that Core 2 Duo was better than Pentiums.

I have a Digital SLR ( a Nikon D40x). I was looking for a portable hard drive for my laptop and thought of the idea to use it as photo storage as well. I have the wire that would be required to connect the camera to the hard drive. I found a good cheap portable hard drive called the Western Digital Passport 120GB External USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive. Can anybody tell me if I can do this (and if so how) before i decide to buy the hard drive.

intel 865 chipset mobo with extreme graphics 2
512 DDR 1 RAM ( going to upgrade to 1024 soon )
80 GB hard disk
18 X DVD writer
6 USB ports .
i do not game . i live in india and this PC is assembled . the same is being sold by HP Compaq today for $ 925 in india ( without UPS and speakers ) . so you can understand the price PC is here . i use cracked XP ( VLK ) . i plan to buy new licensed XP in next 6 months and if it is not distributed any more then stay with the crack version .... rate it 1 - 10 not by strictly USA standards where a Nvidia 6800 graphics card is considered obsolete but generally ......( in car terms a satisfying car is not a shelby corvette but a honda accord ; in those parameters )
