The Sony System came with the VISTA already loaded on it. My concern is that I don't have full usage of the 64bit dual processor. I tried to install the XP from the start when booting he computer by placing he XP disk in the drive first and then start the computer. Even thought it installs, it still trys to boot VISTA, this tells me that a boot sector for Vista is still on the drive. I want to put XP on it so that I can use my Lexmark printer with the Sony VAIO VGN-N230E B 1.73GHz processor, 15.4in display.

How do I know what kind of RAM I need? Before I used to keep up with SD RAM, but now I don't know what kind of RAM or what speed it is. I know how to see what size my RAM is, but I want to buy more so I need to know what "speed" and what "kind".

Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo T5200 1.6ghz More expensive

Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2060 1.6ghz Cheaper

AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core 1.6ghz has 1600 fsb

All three processors are listed as having the same speed, two are from Intel, is there any real difference in performance, and is that performance noticeable? Because if not then should I not buy the cheaper laptop based on that, coming from the same manufacture? It seems Acer has the best deals, but is their warranty any good, I am talking here about their international warranty? As I intend to travel with it.

I downloaded AVG Free Edition recently then ran a full scan on my laptop's hard disk (Dell Inspiron 6000). It took 1 hr 34 mins (and found no viruses). Is this normal?

Im living in japan and i want to buy a japanese laptop and install vista or xp. But from what i heard its not as simple as it seems that you cant just install a english version into the laptop. Problems occur with sound and other functions. Is this true?

I have to chose a new laptop since my laptop is not working properly and I have to get a replacement for it. Please let me know if 512MB RAM is enough for standard use. Thanks you

Ok, basically I've heard that you get optimal performance when your Front Side Bus speed matches the speed of your RAM.

"Santa Rosa" is being released by Intel soon. It has a new 800 MHz FSB. Most laptop RAM, however, is still at 533 or 667 MHz.

So, the question is, will 800 MHz RAM be available when buying a computer? If not, how big a deal will this be? Would the 667 FSB be better?

Cheers.

I heard you can get a 40 gig hardrive for 80$ and i know a computer tech guy and he said he could put it in and install it. but other than that how much would the parts cost?

well, i currently just bought a acer 5610 notebook with windows vista premium, and i have two problems with it. first, i cannot use msn on the system as dep pops up, and wont let me run without it. i see similar problems with other vista owners. Second, i would like to play WOW, but it will noy tun the mpq updates, they finish loading and then it tells me theres a problem and to uninstall and reinstall the game. So my question is, and i kind of know from owning a imac, will i be better off getting a macbook? I know it will run msn, and should run WOW, but will WOW be better on osx then vista? I need some answers soon as i only have 12 days to return the very acer laptop i bought, and exchange for a macbook.
