Can someone tell me which one of those three are better.
I need a laptop for work, playing games such as FEAR or WoW or Call of Duty 2.
The 500 pounds one looks the same as the 600 pounds one except the 600 pounds one has a 17"screen. Help?

I frequently find notebook icons popping up on my main computer screen. Under the notebook icons are phrases like hs_err_pid2... When I open the file, it is full of numbers and letters and sometimes I see the word "java" but no explanation.

Does anyone know where (online) to buy a laptop for under 100€? That's around $140. The cheaper the better! I have already tried eBay but I don't really like to send money to people I don't know before receiving the product. I like to do COD. Although, I'm not completely closed to the thought. Anything you can give me will help.
I don't need a fancy "oohhh ahhhh" laptop. Just one that I can save all of my pictures, videos and music to and also watch DVD's on.
Thanks!

About two weeks ago from this date, i received a macbook from the online apple store. As it is a christmas gift I am not able to open it before the 25th of this month, and I would really like to know if it will include Leopard. Does anyone know the date when apple released the macbooks with Leopard pre installed? Have I ordered a macbook with Tiger or Leopard?

CRT if more energy efficient. Is this true?

The value of your data more then the hardware and we know that when we loss over data and that’s why the Backing up data has become golden rule in the computer world. We need to backup data once in a day to avoid panics at the time of data loss. Data backups, hard drive backups, email backups prove beneficial when you lose.

I'm looking at new parts for a possible system build, and was wondering if water cooling is worth the hassle?

Do you constantly have to monitor the reservoir, and worry about possible leaks?
