I have a new laptop with 1 gig memory. However, my desktop is approximately 5 years old with only 128 MB. I would like to add 512MB. Is this an expensive endeavor? Can a novice like me install the card? Is the card universal or do I need to order from the comapny (Gateway) of which I made the purchase? Any suggestions?

I just bought an external 300GB harddrive, and I want to partition it into at least 4-5 different drives. Is there an easy way to do this through Windows XP? I'm very computer literate, but having never done this before, I want to know if I can or not.

I have around $150 to spend online and I am really torn between these two cards. I currently have a Geforce 6200 which is crap and I want to play Oblivion. Please help! Only responses from people who have these cards need respond. Also, if you have either of these cards, please tell me if I am going to need anything like after market cooling. Please help, I am so torn. Thanks!

Hey i have a sony vaio PCV RS710G, I just bought a NVIDIA 6800 Vanilla (the basic 6800). For it the power supply reccomended is 320W. But wen i was installing the card i cheked my computer and it says 266W max. but the video card installed and is running. It seems like the computer is running a little slower though. So my first question, am i damaging the video card or computer. And is there a way around the problem without buying a new PSU.

Also i have 2 dvd and dvdrw, floppy drive, bunch of card readers, if i take out the power cord from those, will it help. Actully i tried yanking them out but its like the power cords are stuck in there.

Hi Guys! I have been looking around for an external hard drive to use with my laptop. I would like no less than 250GB, preferably costing less than £100. It would also be nice if it looked good and wasnt too large. I have found this one http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/951837/Western_Digital_250GB_My_Book_Essential_1U_External_Hard_Drive_USB2_0/Product.html but I really dont know anything about this sort of thing. Is this make and model any good and is it a bargain? If not, do you have any recommendations?

Many thanks!

I want to upgrade my ram but can't match what's already installed.

Can i remove the existing moduals and fit 4 new matched ones.

I've got 2 x 128MB PC600 (non ECC) RDRAM Rimm and i want to install 4 x 256MB PC800 (ECC) RDRAM Rimm.

Whould this work if not why not, which numbers/ speeds would i have to match to make it work/ compatible with the rest of the system.

I now RDRAM is very expensive to get hold of but i don't want to change the entire system, as although it's 4 years old it's got, 2100Ghz Pentium 4, 200GB dual hard drives, DVD & CD writter, USB 2.0, and firewire, surround sound and Nvidia 7800GS graphics card. And to replace now would cost a lot more than just the ram upgrade.

The only other think i would consider is a motherboard swap but this is quite involved and it be hard to match all the excisting componants.

I just got a new graphics card for my birthday, but I can't install it because my computer's card is embedded. It's an Intel Extreme Graphics Card, Version T2862. Does anyone know how to remove it? Thanks! P.S. My motherboard is PCI and the Intel website didn't say anything on removing it, just on how to update it. (I know you can remove it. You need to flip some switches on the card or something, I just don't know which ones I have to do)
