Hardware - November 2007

I just installed another 512mb memory on my PC (bringing total memory to 1GB) and i see a dramatic change in speed. I looked at my motherboard user book and it says i can install up to 1GB of memory, how accurate is that or can i install little more than that? if i were to take one of the 512mb's out and get a 1Gb memory would that mess up my system? Thanks

which is better?
what are some of the things that make that one better than the other? Is it really worth it to get a mac if I don't do video stuff?


also, just in case anyone knows, what is the cool picture program that macs have, called?(where you an take pictures in B&W, fish eye, etc.)

I have been through the set up procedure but the mic is not being detected. i.e my voice is not moving the graphic indicator regardless of volume setting. Maybe it's just a faulty mic. What do you think?

I don't even know if that is real or exists, but is there a cable or cord or adapter or connector or convertor or something that will allow me to utilize my Time Warner cable box that is just sitting on the floor in my living room, with no TV to hook up to? I have an overabundance of monitors sadly - two LCD awesome PC monitors, and only one usable computer, so one is collecting dust, not getting used. If there is a way to do this, I'm all ears! Thanks so much, I need/miss television.

I just moved and currently do not have a TV. I know, it's crazy. I have a spare Hanns G 19" Inch TFT LCD Monitor that I could use, if I only knew what cords/cables/hookups I need to get the connection working. If that monitor doesn't work, I also have the monitor I'm using right now (I could switch them) - it's essentially the same (Hanns G 19") but this one is TFT Widescreen LCD. Time Warner came and installed the cables from the wall into the cable box which is sitting on a box on the living room floor with no television to hook up to. We figured to ask you guys if we can put that spare LCD monitor to use as a "temporary TV" and if so, what we might need to buy to do it. If someone knows and would be so kind, please recommend specific LINKS if these cables or whatever are available online, or even a sort of general walk-through. Thanks so much! Is this easier than we thought or more complicated? Any help/answers on any of this is greatly appreciated! Thanks again!!!

Got lots of Media which I believe causes my computer to slow down, I need to put it somewhere else...so I'm thinking to get a External Hardrive or Online Data Storage (which would be a little more convienient at the moment).

Okay, so I was cleaning off some dust when my H key fell off. Obviously, I can still use it, but it is not snapped into place properly. This has happened before with different keys, but when I try to push it down, it either stays down or one end comes up. When I try to level it, it comes off.

Ideas?

Thanks in advance to all who can help!

I refilled a black cartridge (13 no.) for hp business inkjet 1000 as the same was showing low level since long. After installing the refilled cartridge, the pinting is fine but the error message through the printer's LED disaly (not shown by the system as i have disabled from the toolbox) is continued. I have repeatedly replaced the cart., replaced after deplugging the power cord, etc. Is there any way to this problem?
