I heard my sources that AMD was releasing it, but I can't find it anywhere. I wanted to ask AMD, but I can't find out how to contact for free my email? So does it work? I know it works on Socket AM2, but does it work on 939? If does, please give me a website that proves it. Thanks!

I have just purchased a new p.c. and do not appear to have any sound, I have followed the help and support and still no luck. As far as I can see it appears I do not have a sound card. What exactly is this, where can I get one and how do I install it. (is it actually a card, or is it in disc format)? p.s. not too 'hot' with computers, simple to follow answer wqould be appreciated.

my son age 5 has an old dell demension 8100, and there is an nvidia geforce 2 mx400 installed, and it is struggling to play some of his games, I bought an orignal dell pny geforce 5200 128mb card 8x agp, for £10 of ebay, I know its not very good card but will there be much of a noticable difference. also the motherboard does up to 4x agp, and the new card is 8x agp, will it fit the board or is it a no go?

I should have posted this before I bought the card, I know, duh!

I have a non-intel iBook G4 (motorola chip) and on the system requirements here is what I have:

Machine Name: iBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook6,7
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (1.5)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.42 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 142 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.9.3f0
Serial Number: Can't tell ya.
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled

The website system requirements make it seem like it could work except for that on the website it says 700 MHz and I have 142 :-(

Finally, if it does work, will .exe files run on the VirtualPC? And will I be able to save stuff?

ALL .EXE FILES MUST RUN.

Thanks.

I need a new graphics card as my current one is only 64mb and can barely cope with vista ultimate. I have two cards in mind and I would like some feedback on which one would be better (or if they are both useless!).

First is a Sapphire ATI Radeon™ HD 2400PRO 256MB PCI-E from maplin
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ModuleNo=219564&doy=14m10#overview

Secondly a Inno3D Nvidia® Geforce 8400 256MB PCI-E Graphics Card also from maplin
http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ITAG=FAQ&ModuleNo=220995&doy=25m9#faq

They are both £49.99 so give me your thoughts.

Firstly, i have a Sony "TINY" Micro Vault USB Memory Pen Drive 2GB which can be compressed to 6GB. now i want to know how to compress it to 6GB.
please tell me.

when i opened it up to see the files, ( by the way, My 2ND Oldest Brother gave this to me. :D ), there was files and as well as that, there were 2 files saying "VirtualExpander_flashdemo1.02.01 (WW)", this is the first file and the second file says "VirtualExpander_v103".

i clicked on the first file and they just showed what compress is and that you can make it to 6GB.

and when i clicked the second file, there was a text saying "Please run with proper OS".

i have no idea what that is and need help compressing to 6GB.

please tell me what i can do to mae it to 6GB and how to compress it to 6GB.

many thanks, Rizla07.

Hi,

I have a 250GB external hard drive on my PC, which I use for storing music, photos, pictures, word documents, etc.

My internal C: Drive is only 10 GB and really the only things on there are programs, but it's getting full up and I now only have 633 MB left on there! I have deleted a few programs I don't use but it hasn't helped much. I have also tried to run a disk defragment on my C: Drive but the system says it's too full to start the process!

Can I transfer some of my program files (e.g. Adobe, Quicktime, etc) to my external hard drive? Would they still work? I have 223 GB of space on there!

I have tried to get extra memory added internally but apparently my PC is too old for that.

Thanks in advance!

I'm sure this is a very basic for most people that use computers but here goes, lol ...

I bought a new mouse for my computer and it was the least expensive kind ($10) and I've had it for about three weeks now. It gets stuck all the time and won't move around. I have to bang on it to get it move.

I don't have a mouse pad. How can I fix it? Would a mouse pad work?

What causes a mouse to get stuck?

Thanks!

I know I should get an AGP computer but right now I'm short on cash. Someone posted something similar about an hour ago and it reminded me to ask this.

I currently have a 128 MB PCI Graphics Card and thinking about getting a new game that came out recently. I already meet the minimum system requirements of the game but is it worth spending between $50 and $100 on a 256MB PCI Graphics Card? I have some lag and slow loading time on Online Games when there is a lot of activity in a small space.

How much of a difference would it make in my gameplay? I'd like to cut down lag and run a smoother game is all, rather than better graphics. But is it worth it? What would be a great 256 MB PCI Graphics Card? Thanks!

Okay, I need a new Graphics Card for games....

I'm using an ATI Radeon 9250 128 MB graphics card in a Dell 2400 computer right now. Not the best, but I'm able to play such games as Star Wars Galaxies with it.

I am oblivious to Graphic Card lingo, the entire "X1600 series" and "8800 series" boggles me so be nice when explaining.

I'm just looking for a good, 256 or 512MB Graphics Card so I can play games smoothly, with as little lag/loading time as possible, for as little as possible. Playing at low, medium, and high settings doesn't matter as much, but its always a bonus. I'd prefer my price range to be within $50 and $150. And I'd prefer 512MB.

I've seen 512MB cards on Ebay for around 80 bucks (link below), anything wrong with those?
