Hi.
What are ur opinions on having all ur photo's, files, music etc, from ur computer's hard stored on an external hard drive, for safety.
But then erasing them off ur computer's hard drive, to give ur self more space.
Does any one know how reliable they are, i bought a good make, its a 160 gb W.D

the speakers are located on the monitor. Audio files play, but there's no sound coming out. The problem is not with the mute button, or low volume. The wires work fine too (tried on another computer). The problem isn't with the actual inbuilt speakers, because they play music from my laptop, when connected to it. I've plugged in earphones to both the screen "headphones" section and the actual soundcard, but nothing happens, just get static from the screen and nothing from the soundcard.

i haven't yet opened up my computer to check the actual soundcard. is this the next step? loose connection? or is there something i've missed?

There are few AGP video cards out there, I want to do my last AGP upgrade to replace an aging GeForce 5200.

The system is AMD Dual Core on a 1 gig RAM system; everything is low spec; I want a card that could play Command & Conquer 3 and 3D RTS games in all its visual, currently with that 5200 all visuals have to be tuned to minimum.

What is a good optimum AGP-based card for me to upgrade?

i'm buying a 8600GT video card, my question is are all the makers basicly the same. i'm looking on newegg.com at one that is 256MB, GDDR3 but its by a maker that i've never heard of. the reveiws are good for it. i would assume that they would still be held to the standard of the NVIDIA. right? any suggestions on makers?

The mouse part moves, but the curser won't move. I tried cleaning the inside. It will only move up and down easily, it takes a lot of work to get it to move left or right. If I take the little ball out and just turn the little things inside it moves just fine.
