I use Itunes, have a lot of mp3 files, I download movies & TV shows and upload pictures. I want something that can handle media functions quickly. Should I get the upgraded processor or the extra memory?

Also I will need to transfer my files from my old computer (windows XP) to the new one (Vista), so should I buy the transfer package or is there another way?

Is paying $150 for the Microsoft Office suite worth it or should I just use the preloaded Microsoft Works? I would use Word and maybe Outlook but I don't need exel or powerpoint. Can I get it cheaper elsewhere?

Sorry for the length of this question but I am really not computer savvy (obviously).

Thanks!

When you go to the device manager it has a little yellow circle with a ! in it. The details about the problem says:

"Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)"

Help!

I'm having problems with my new ATI Radeon 2400 HD 512 mb card playing Battlefield 1942. It says out of range after I've done all the latest patches. I've tried everything from changing screen resolution to refresh rate, updated drivers from ATI site, even did a dll file overlay from a previous version per someone's advice. Nothing. Can I switch to an Nvidia with no problem or conflicts, or should I get another ATI card that is better?

I have a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop and every so often I think it's when I'm laying in a position that not much air can get to it it shuts down. I feel the back it's normally very hot when I do so. Does anyone know if it has a safeguard to shut down at a certain temp? Or could there be a software issue?

Please give me a link to this hardware driver. I have looked it up on the web, but didn't have much luck! Now, I use a compatible CDP-200ES driver, but I think it delimits my monitor's capabilities.

I have the internal DVD burner and an external HP dvd 940 burner also attached to my computer. I am burning multiple copies of the same slideshow and I was wondering of there was any way to burn copies on both DVD burners at the same time so that I could get them all burned faster.

I have a Celeron 1.2 processor, 128 sdram, onboard video. and on cable internet connection. When I watch streaming videos on CNN , Yahoo videos. or Google video I get a lot of buffer and choppy videos. Should I upgrade my ram or upgrade a video card ?
Would this video card be enough for video streaming ?
