I am thinking of buying the pink Hi Grade Celeron M-439 laptop, which comes with Windows Vista, but it comes in different Hard drive sizes.. i don't understand any of the Gb, RAM stuff.. But one is a 60Gb Hard drive with 1.73Ghz. 512Mb DDR RAM.. And another is a 80Gb Hard drive with 1.73Ghz. 1Gb RAM.. I don't know if this affects the memory or not but, I would like wireless internet installed on it, I will be using it for school work etc., and will have quite a lot of music and photo's on it...

The sign is really annoying me! When I play the sims 2, which is very graphical and uses the video card a lot or other games, rgb no input signal appears! I just want to know why? I have read some other answers to questions like mine but I have directx 9, the latest version and updates on my video card. sometimes my sound goes dodgy...is that something to do with it? please give me some answers because I have waited for a long time to play games on my pc. Thanks!

Laptop 1: AMD Turion(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-60 (2.0 GHz, 512KB+512KB L2 Cache )

Laptop 2: Intel® Pentium® Core™2 Duo Processor T7250 (2.0GHz, 2MB L2, 800MHz FSB)

Both are running Vista, with 2 GB DDR2.

The price difference between the two is $15.

What I do: photo and (light) video editing and virtual scrapbooking, burning DVDs of home videos and photos, watching DVDs, all sorts of office-type and internet work.

What I need to know is what is the big difference? If I'm performing multiple tasks, such as listening to music while I'm editing photos, with my Outlook open checking for emails every once in a while, I don't want the thing to freeze up on me -like my desk top currently does.

What is the difference between 2 MB L2 and 512KB + 512 KB L2 (other than 2MB euals more than 512KB + 512KB) - I mean why not write 1 MB instead of 512 + 512?

Also, I have heard AMD runs cooler and I have heard AMD runs hotter. Can anyone point me to research?

If I go to device manage I can see that its a "Texas Instruments PCIxx21 Integrated flash memory controller". I went to the TI website expecting to find a section on drivers and then a place to select the reader I have.

Insted, all I can find it technical documents on various devices and the only support section is on design support.

After doing a search online I found this, which has limps to info on the controller, but now drivers.

I'm using Widows XP and would like it if I could go this to work.

I have recently bought a FreeAgent external hard drive. The hard drive is plug and play and so comes with no software which might include some security.

Does anyone know of a way i can password protect files on the hard drive so that they can't be accessed without the password? Or so the files are only accessible from my computer.
