A little about me:
I will have some music (but not much)
I will HAve photos
I play graphic intensive games ( World of Warcraft)
I don't want to go over 1.5k( would be great if I could stay a couple hundred below that)
I want Blu-tooth

Here are the specs of a Computer that I have already costumized on Dell's site.

Model: Dell inspiron 1520

Processor: Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7250 (2.0GHz/800Mhz FSB/2MB cache)

OPERATING SYSTEM Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition

VIDEO CARD 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT

MEMORY 3GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 at 667MHz

HARD DRIVE Size: 120GB SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

WIRELESS NETWORK CARDS Dell Wireless 1390 802.11g Mini-Card

Built-in Bluetooth capability (2.0 EDR)

BATTERY OPTIONS 85Whr Lithium Ion Battery (9 cell)

price = 1464 USD
---

Is this computer good enough for what I want it for. Or is it under par. Or maybe I'm getting rippped off. If so do you have any recomendations.

I did a virus scan on my comp. When it got to 'temporary internet files' it scaned over 200,000 files, it took overnight and it still wasnt done. While it was scanning, it said "looking in
C/documents and settings/myname/local settings/temporary internet files"

so I went to C, clicked on 'documents and settings', clicked on 'my name' ....... next would be 'local settings' ..... but there is none.

I just really want to find these files!!!!

Well mine is a Printer, Scanner and Photocopier, but I only have problems with my Printer which I swear is a female because it always has PMS.

For some examples which just happened before when I was fighting with it:

1. It kept deciding to have paper jams.
2. It made a loud noise at me like a woman screaming.

It's alright, I can handle this thing on my own.
*eyes it*
Lol, it wanted to put this under Psychology too!

Many people are confused, especially the stupid ones, as to what needs to be double clicked and what doesn't.

I'm having a struggle between this two cards because they are mid-range cards plus it is dx10, dont really care much for dx9 even there are some cards better than the two. the msi has a better clock speed and memory spped, but the 8600 gts is somewhat better because i've seen charts of comparisons and the 8600 gts beat the rx2600xt, but yet the rx2600xt is faster or not?

Every single evening, broadband disappears, a couple of older crt tv's develop a slowly scrolling line and odd noises are heard on some of the house appliances. Every morning the problem goes away. This seems to be around the time of street lights switching on and off - it's as if the lights are somehow affecting the power lines and the broadband. The phone works fine.
We have tried new filters, wired and wireless modems, had the electrics checked, used laptops and desktops and tried a laptop with the house power completely switched off.
All this started last April and everything was fine for years before this. Nothing has changed in the house and nothing comes on or off in the house at the times of the problem.
Does anyone know how power and broadband can be affected by street lights - and is there a solution?
thanks

I sold my 17" macbook pro to make way for a smaller macbook, but I won't be able to get one till december. I backed up my files on a 3.5 external hard drive but when I tried opening it on a ibook w/ power pc it's prompting me to initilize. So I'm thinking it must be something between the intel based and power pc chip that's not being recognized between the two. What do you think? or how can this be fixed?

My problem is this:

Often after i use my wired mouse for a few months, it "breaks".

I think i'm not taking care of properly; but i don't know how to.

When it "breaks", the cursor no longer responds to the external mouse unless the wire is bent at an angle. As it is an optical mouse, i see it blinking for a few times then the computer goes "USB Device Not Recognized", etc.

Why does the mouse "break" and how/why does it happen?
If so, how do I properly take care of the mouse to prolong its lifespan.

Thank you very much.

P.S. i use a laptop so i prefer working with an external mouse as they are easier to use than the touchpad mouse. Furthermore, i find wireless mice difficult to use as they are 2 pieces (USB thingy + Mouse) and the constant changing of a battery (when the mouse runs out of battery while playing a game, your game goes chaotic)
