i remember seeing a few years back on HSN, a systemax pc with a 1.4ghz cpu, and i thought that was fast. its amazing to see how much technology has progressed.

My cd drive on my computer is stuck open. It feels like it has come off track (2 year old was playing with it.) I can't figure out how to unplug the cable from the back of it. I don't want to just tug hard and break the cable.

I'm about to change from a PC Laptop to a Mac Laptop, but because of some of the programs I have to use I need to get a parallel version of a Mac.
Can I use the Windows XP disc that came with my old laptop to install on my Mac? Or will I have to buy another Windows XP disc?

i just installed win2k pro on my sister's computer (upgrading from winME, winXP would not set up properly) win2k installed with no problem (did clean install, reformatted to NTFS)

the only problen now is her video card. she has an nVIDIA 32MB GeForce2 MX 4X video card (the computer is a Dell Dimension 4100, like from 2001 or 02) and nVIDIA no longer offers the drivers for this card on their site. i tried to install a generic nVIDIA driver and now her installation is ruined (blue screen, physical memory dump or something like that) and i have to reformat/install. bleh.

anyhow, this time around, i was wondering if there's a better way to do things. is there any driver that will work??? the reason i need one is because she only has 16-color mode and 800x600 max resolution.

any help would be great. thanks=]

Just a quick check. I have a motherboard that supports a SATA hard disk (1.5 Gb/s). I have a SATA II hard disk (3.0 Gb/s).

Am I right in saying that my motherboard will still recognise the hard disk but I'll only be able to get the 1.5 Gb/s transfer speed (similar to the way USB 1.0 connections still see USB 2.0 peripherals but transfer is only at USB 1.0 speed).

I have a piece of junk computer that has Windows ME on it. Well, I am attempting to wipe everything off of the computer and install Windows XP Professional. So, I really don't know what I'm doing. I just popped in the Windows XP disk and let it do whatever and now it says there are fatal errors. I can just throw away the computer because I was just testing it out anyway, but I've been given another computer that has Windows 98 and I want the XP on it! What do I do to fix both computers?

I am planning to update my computer and so I want to sell my old stuff to give space for the new one. But I don't know what shop/place buys second hand computer parts (especially the monitor since I already have two of them, both in excellent condition).
