I bought a brand new 9-cell laptop battery for my Dell Inspiron 6400, but before I used it I was given an almost-new battery. I have heard that if you don't use them regularly, they very quickly will loose their capacity to hold a charge. How can I store my new battery so it maintains it's maximum effectiveness for at least a year?

I had gotten the memory card in the mail about a week ago..then I had to send it back to get one with the black chips on both sides..I got it in the mail yesterday and I had installed it...It didn't work so I called crucial. They told me to try each memory module by itself to see if the modules work and the slots work. The memory card I got in the mail, well when I put it in my computer on its own, it crashed my computer. I restored it but I am returning the memory back to crucial and getting a refund...not sure whats going on. The card that was already in my computer is a Samsung and the one I got in the mail wasn't a samsung. Could that have been the problem? If I had gotten a samsung, do you think it would have worked? Thanks

I use a wireless router to connect to the internet from my laptop. However, recently I haven't been able to connect and it says that there's a network cable unplugged under LAN. What does it mean and how can I fix it so I can connect to the internet from my laptop?

Does anyone know what this procedure is?

As a web designer and gamer I'm looking for a reliable fast computer to run demanding programs like Adobe Photoshop, World of Warcraft and virtual game emulation servers. I'd also like to forget the meaning of the word lag while doing some 40-man raids in World of Warcraft. Don't bother saying Alienware because I've already decided the price is not an option.

I'm looking for a minimum:

120GB Harddrive (160GB+ preferred)
1GB RAM expandable to 2GB
AMD 2GHz+ preferred
Separate numeric keypad a MUST
15.4" Screen size (17" preferred)

What I'm not sure about is the graphics card. Most people say NVidia GeForce Go 7200+. Also what is the difference between integrated graphics and uhh.. unintegrated?

Only thing I have seen similar is a Dell Inspiron E1505 but it doesn't have the separate keypad.

I'm hoping to get away with most of the above for $1200-$1500. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that has a 30G Hard Drive. I have seen replacement hard drives (up to 160G) on the internet and in stores. I have been entertaining the idea of buying one and swapping them out. Have any of you ever done this? What should I look for? Any advice? Anything (brands and such) to be aware of? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks.
