Laptops & Notebooks - October 2006

Can anyone help me figure out what the numbers in CPUs are for? What exactly they mean and what each one really does. This will help me a lot in figuring out which processor I buy.
A core Duo, or a core 2 duo.. AMD perhaps?
I heard something about getting a low voltage since they generate less heat (for notebooks). Is this worth the sacrifice?

Thanks for everyone who'll respond.

Hi,
I have bought an advent 7094, while waiting for delivery I wondered if anyone has reviews of their laptops, that particular model and if anyone knows their website address.
Cheers,

I recently purchased a (1) 60GB replacement mini hard drive (Lenovo Part No. 73P3358 )and (2) additional RAM (1GB PC2700 CL2.5 NP DDR SDRAM SODIMM; Lenovo Part No. 31P9834) for my Thinkpad X40 (2371HU1). This hard drive will replace the 40GB hard drive that came with my Thinkpad.

My Thinkpad had arrived with Windows XP pre-installed by IBM/Lenovo. As a result, I was never provided with a disk for the operating system.

I would be grateful for help with instructions for installing my new hard drive and RAM, such that I would be able to continue to retain my Windows XP operating system. Simpler instructions would be particularly appreciated. I am still quite new at this.

Thanks.

Since August, my laptop has been picking up a virus everytime I insert the wireless broadband card. This is my first time encountering this and wonder if there could be a problem with the card or if there is some kind of latent virus on the laptop that is "provoked" when the card is inserted. The laptop works fine without the card.

The only thing i can think of is I cleaned the room yesterday and the laptop may have been exposed to some dust?

The computer still seems to function but the pink screen color is certainly difficult to work with.

I tried shutting off rebooting without success.

Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, JL

Hi, I am currently considering upgrading my laptop memory and maybe getting a faster hard drive. Obviously with it being a laptop I cannot upgrade the CPU. I was just wondering is there a comparison that would show how much quicker it will run with more RAM compared with upgrading the CPU, for example:

Upgrading by 512MB is roughly equivalent to upgrading a CPU by xxxx MHz

Thank You.
Gareth.

When I'm working away on my computer, it seems that every so often the computer would become idle for a moment, as though it was waiting for something (perhaps an interrupt or some kind of system service?) to complete. When I bring up the Windows Task Manager, I found that the System Idel Process is often consuming 98 - 99% of the CPU usage.

My Wireless router used to work with a Cable modem. I subscribed to a T1 connection that my apartment complex provides. If I directly hook up to the ethernetport in the wall it works. However if I connect my Wireless router to the ethernet port and try to establish the connection thru my laptop that does not work.
Is it possible to have such a setup ..ie have a wireless router without a Cable or DSL modem ?

My friend got an external harddrive. he accidentally plugged in my laptop powercord to it which is 19v and the drive only takes 12v. so ovbiously now, it wont power on because i think i surged it. my questions are, could it be that all the data contained was wiped out or its just a matter of either changing a fuse or something to do with the power?
