Hello,

Im in the process of buying a laptop, and im a little bit picky on the weight (I know that sounds fussy, but im sure everyone would like a lite laptop!)

Its a SONY vaio and it weighs 2.5kg - Is this normal for a laptop? Is it on the liter or heavier weigh of average laptops?

Thanks

And it refuses to burn dvds. It keeps saying at the end of burning a dvd that it was scratched or inferior. When it was a brand new blank dvd? Its peeing me off. So I figure I'll go buy 50 of the expensive dvds. And watch it do it again

My friend recently bought a 8600GTS-OC from Newegg. The card works fine until he runs a video or 3D application. The screen gets full of green doted blocks all over and in some cases, it crashes. He tried a good bit of drivers and nothing solves the problem. Please help as he bought the card in the states but we live in Trinidad, so sending it back to the manufacturer would be a very last resort.

My 7950gt is running way too hot out of the box, and I'm looking into some aftermarket coolers for the card. The thing is: I don't have any extra plugs on my mobo for another fan.

Is it possible to just plug the new vga fan into the old fan plug on the video card? Some of the fans had pics of the product plugging into the mobo.

I'm still a bit new to all of this. Thank you!

I purchased this light https://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/pcmods/5b60/ that is powered from a PC power supply via 4pin molex, but I just wanted to plug the light directly into the wall. I didnt realize it was powered thru the PC when I bought it.

It's that time for me again to upgrade my PC as slow as my pocket can take me.
I'm currently running a Pentium 4 3.2GHz processor with only a gig of ram which I'm planning to increase to 2 before my graphics upgrade.
My current graphics card is a XFX GeForce Fx5200 128MB AGP.
I've got my eye on the XFX GeForce 7600GT 256MB AGP.
Is this a wise choice, or could I get something better for the money (around £85)?

My friend got an older laptop from a relative today, a Dell Latitude running Windows 98 se. It had worked fine for a while. He was using it to type a paper today, and walked away from it for a second. The computer went into standby, and when he moved the mouse to bring it out, it prompted him to register for Windows, and for an OEM. It has been registered for years. Why would it suddenly ask for the info? It was a refurbished laptop, so he doesn't even have the number. What can we do to be able to use it again, short of putting another copy of Windows in? Thanks!

What is the difference between the Pentium E6420, E6550 or E6850, etc?

Why is it so many manufacturers are still using E6420? Isn't it outdated by now?

Is there any specifics in each Pentium that I should take note of?
