I'm in favor of Lenovo 3000 C100 - 8922 A12 laptop. Not Sure about Sahara Laptop.
Also I can avail Finance Option on SwamiPC (http://www.SwamiPCFinance.in).

Could you tech geeks give me some input on finalizing?

Thanks in Advance.

I have an HP dv6500t notebook with a Intel Core 2 T7300 which only comes out as 4.5 on windows vista score. My friend alos has an hp notebook with one of the original core duo (I dont remember which on but its either 1.73 or 1.83 ghz). He said his score was 4.8 for his processor but I think he might have meant 3.8. Is this possible? and what the heck is the point of the scores

I was wondering why Command and Conquer 3 was running slowly on my computer and discovered that my video card does not have enough RAM. This is the requirement for the game:
Minimum: With Vista, 128 MB DirectX 9.0c compatible video card (NVIDIA GeForce 6100 or greater; ATI Radeon 9500 or greater. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported.)

My video card is NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 with 65MB of video RAM. Using Vista.

What should I do? Is there a quick solution to this such as allocating unused hard drive space to use a virtual memory? If so, how? Or is the only way is to get a new video card? Thanks.

I have a Mac Powerbook G4, and it needs to have the battery reconditioned. I only get an hour of battery life out of it. I had an old IBM once that I would just plug in, and open a program, and it would charge and discharge the battery, and it would add a little more time to the battery. (it did this several times in a row) and I just want to know if there is a program like this for Mac.

(specs of my laptop are: 1GHz PPC G4, 768MB of RAM, 120GB hard drive. its a 12" model)

Thanks in advance!

My wife has an HP laptop that the motherboard crapped out on. We are trying to figure out if we can pull the harddrive out of it, and somehow install it into a destop system (internally or externally) so we can get some of the files off of it. Any ideas or suggestions. (I'd rather not let geek squad do it)

Mine is very slow, and I was wondering if it was because the hard drive is small. how do you upgrade this? is it better to do internal or external? How do you do it?? Help Help Help!!!!!
