My Macbook hard drive is shot, and it is no longer capable of recognizing any intrernal hard drive.

Rather than shell out for a new Macbook, I'm thinking of getting a Mini, but cheapskate that I am, I don't want to have to buy a seperate monitor. Can I use the Macbook solely as a monitor hooked up to a Mini?

Well I just started a new class online and my teacher requires that first you scan in your work in low resolution onto the computer. Can someone please explain what that means and how I can scan in low resolution? Thanks

Hey guys, recently I've learned a lot about overclocking and im getting a CPU cooler to allow me to overclock my E6600 to 3.6GHZ,
of course i'll be taking little steps with the FSB, but when do you know that you need to up the voltage?

When the computer won't boot? when windows won't boot?
and how much voltage do I need to up? By 0.1v? by 0.01V? (I know every CPU is different, but which voltage jumps do I use?)

what is typical voltage for an e6600 on 3.6GHZ?

Thanks

I recently bought 2 cards of memory (Patriot 512MB) to upgrade the memory in my Dell Dimension 8200. They didn't fit when I tried to put them in. The memory I bought had only one indentation on the bottom whereas the slots had two prongs sticking up so that the memory didn't fit. I was wondering if anyone knows what type of memory I need to look for and could possibly point out some good memory at newegg or tigerdirect. Thanks!

It just started happening all of the sudden and i think its due to some unshielded speakers I had next to it. Theres no discoloration around but its just static all over the screen. Any ideas on how to fix it. This flat panel has no degauss option and ive already tried the memory recall and auto adjust options.

Esentially, what I'm trying to do is run a signal from my DVI port on my MacBook Pro out to two smaller CRT television screens for a Karaoke setup.

I'd like to show one CRT to the audience, one to the singer (both with the same "external monitor display" content) and keep the laptop screen facing me (with the software viewing only for me).

Is there a cable or collection of cables I can get?

I think I need a DVI to Composite, then a set of Composite splitters... but am I right?

Exactly a year ago, my old computer's hard drive crashed. I miss all my stuff I had on it so I decided to mess with it again. What happens when I turn it on is a black screen saying my video card info comes up, and then a screen with a giant E (for emachines) and then it stops at a black screen with a little flashing white dash in the corner.

So, what's wrong with it? Can I recover the data by myself?

I took it into Best Buy last year when it died, and they said everything showed up fine on their stuff, but it would cost me like 150$ or something to have it recovered. I finally have the money now, but I want to see if I can do it myself and save that money =|

And will they still be able to recover since its been an entire year? And if I get Best Buy to recover it, what do they put all the info on? Like, a CD, or something?
