Desktops - March 2007

I Have 64MB Video Card on my PC. I want to upgrade it. is it possible? if i buy 128MB Video Card,Will It be added to my 64MB and make it a 64MB+128MB=192MB or it will be just 128MB , because if i purchase 128MB card , and if it dsn't combine or added to my 64MB Video Card,Then my that64MB card will be useless or waste.
Now I Have PC with 64MB Video Card and 1GB Ram with 2.14Ghz Speed.
Pls Make it urgent.
Thanks.

im so confused about this whole thing i need many many answers

im 15 years old 9th grade

and i need a new laptop/desktop

i need to use it for school, music, videos, pics ,(the works) and maybe a few games

ive seen vista and it looks like a mac but cheaper

macs are deffinetely much more attractive and i hear they dont get viruses, theyre faster and that whole shindig

but they also cost a lot

also

if i got a laptop/desktop with vista home premium i would get a zune (ok computer, very nice mp3 player, marketplace you can get unlimited songs for 14.99/mp)

if i got a mac is there anything else besides an ipod thats compatable? (very nice computer, pricey, itunes store must pay 1 dollar per song)

so people consider my needs and consider price in the end

write as much as you can and as many opinions as you can because i honestly value peoples opinions

thank you

Lately, it's been acting so weird. Every once in a while it'd lagg and then it would shuts off by it self. Sometimes it happens at least 4 times a day! It's really starting to bug me because it's so slow and it shuts off all the time. Oh and when i try to turn it back on, this red light keeps flashing on my monitor. but when i wait about 5 minutes then it'd work. does anyone know whats wrong ? is it a virus or spywares?

I have had this product for about 3 weeks now with the Vista Home Premium edition - have had nothing but problems!!

Does anyone have the same system - it runs extremely slow and am having major difficulty with IE 7. Have tried shutting down some start-up programs and cleaning browser history etc.

Perhaps it's just Vista? I am really not liking Vista right now!! Plus it will not allow me to up-date window's defender. Any legit answers would be so so much appreciated from an IT person - otherwise save the comments. Thank you very very much.

ive recently had a motherboard problem, and a corrupt harddrive. the harddrive is fine, but hte mobo needs to be replaced. i have a great computer, e6300, and 1900gt, 2 gigs of ram. but a not so good power supply, its 450 watts, which is enough, but its a cheap psu that came with my case. is it possible that having a weak or cheap powersupply can harm the other parts in my computer? how will i know if it needs to be replaced? thanks

so i'll explain first i know the hard drive worked fine an hour ago, i use two different hard drives and i had the spare in because it has itunes on it. well i switched the hard drives back and left the ipod plugged in and i think that might be what caused the issue. so no when i try to boot the hard drive ipod connected or not it tells me hard disk error press ctrl alt dlt whioch does nothing but try to reboot again and same problem. i even tried hooking it up as the slave and the spare as the master and it did the same thing. well it has my important files on it so i turned the comp on with just the spare hard drive waited till it booted and the hooked the bad one as a slave then manually detected new hard ware and it showed up and i could acces the files on it so i think what is wrong is what ever tells the os to boot or something im not really sure. now i guess my question is, is their a way to fix this without reformatting and reinstalling windows???? any help?

my computer restarts after some time. I've used Grisoft, Avast, AVG and MacAffee to check for viruses. Found some high risked files and deleted them all, but still restarts. Next, I used certain programs to check for rootkits. Still didn't fix the problem. Do you think it is still a virus problem or a hardware problem? What should I check to troubleshoot and fix the problem(i.e. heatsink, cpu speed/temp, mem, etc.)?

Hi, i have saved up around 760 bucks, and i don't think i can save up more than that. Neways ... my 6 year old pc (compaq 800mhz amd duron, 768sdram, geforce mx4000, is driving me nuts). i had this cpu (with upgrades little by little every year),

i tried to buy a new processor last year (intel p4 2.8ghz, and i found out it doesn't even support my system.) i was soo mad.
neways..... the only games i can play on this garbage cpu is games like wc3, but i wanna play games like battlefield 2, Need for speed most wanted, fps games ( not too intense)

So do u guys think i should get a cpu from a store like best buy who got pcs like HP, emachines, etc....
or.. should i go to a nearby cpu custom shop and have them built me a cpu?

And if i were to choose the custom cpu place, can u guys tell me the parts i need and how much each of them coasts , so i can tell them to make me a pc in that price range? thx alot

I'd also like to add that i have no credit card so i can't do any online purchases.

They say sweat, and oils from you fingers and hands can damage electronic components. Plus your body carries a natural eletro-static charge. Would latex or rubber gloves help protect against this?

Somthing like the places that have all brands, and are the direct source of the stores like Best Buy
