I am trying to run a 3D Graphics program called 3D Canvas, but when I try to make things more detailed, it takes longer to complete each process, and not just for the one program but for the whole computer. I know I just need a better memory card so my computer can process more information at a time, but my question is, what's the best RAM for my computer.

Well I just got my laptop back I went through a whole deal with the repair people and they dropped mine ended up giving me a new one but this new one doesn't seem to have any sound ...or it doesn't work...so how do I install the sound...do I need to use the restore cds? I don't know if I have them...when I click on the sound thingy it says there is no sound thingy installed to go to control panel and then sound or something hardware and click add but it doesn't do anything or maybe its just me. So if somebody knows how I can fix this please help me out. Thanks

Lately my laptop has been acting strangely. When it goes into standby and I bring it back or sometimes randomly it will get a really choppy hard to explain picture and then turn black and wont come back. Or sometimes when I start it up it makes a BEEP and then my clock in the tray gets reset to 12:00 in 2002???

When I press the on button on the laptop it will sometimes turn on immediately but sometimes it won't. I could push down on the button and count to ten, then it will turn on(a few time)Usually it won't turn on at all. What is up with the laptop? Could it have a virus? The laptop is a Dell. It is about 4 years old.

i'm a new college student and am looking to buy a laptop. i'm going to buy windows vista and i think i will buy with 2 gb of ram and a 2.0 ghz processor. i'm going to be using it for basic daily activities (writing reports, surfing internet, listening music, watching videos, using instant messenger, etc.). i'm not a serious gamer but i might decide to play a few games in college. i don't think the games are too graphically intensive, but are like warcraft or counter strike. i don't mind if the settings are set to the minimum on a low resolution. should i buy the intel 965 gma x3100 integrated graphics or spend money on a 128 mb or 256 mb dedicated gpu? i prefer to get the most value for the price so do i need a dedicated gpu? and if i get integrated graphics, is 2 gb of ram enough for vista along with using my daily activities?

Sometimes when my laptop is on and running, audio plays for no reason at all. Yesterday something that sounded like a Dave Navarro/Ron Jeremy podcast played for no reason even though no programs were running in the front. This has happened a few times and it always sounds like a podcast. Does it have something to do with being on a wireless network?

Bought the HP dv6000 limited edition laptop this summer because I loved the way it looked and thought it would fit my needs. But I have started playing Lord of the Rings Online and
find it below par. I have it optimized for the game but the graphics are not great and I am laggy all the time. I have a desktop with the same internet connection and it is fine. So it is not the internet speed. Can I upgrade this thing or is it a loss? Thanks

I have a Dell Inspiron 8500 (yes its old) laptop. I have a program and device to do gps with it but my computers battery doesnt last long enough to use on a trip without a power source. I need an inverter but i am not sure what size nor brand to buy b/c ive heard that they can mess up your computer if you get the wrong one. My power pack is a PA-10 ac adapter and says
Input : AC 100-240V ~1.5 A, 50-60hz
Output: DC 19.5 V, 4.62 A

Is there a certain wattage of inverter i should buy?

thanks

Please help everytime i use my computer now it keeps disconnecting. My isp provider is PIPEX has been working ok since i started with them.Just since last month this has been happening.I phoned them up and they said it could be my usb port and i would need to purchase another modem for £35.They then said it must be my laptop and to get in touch with sony to get this fixed inside the usb port. I contacted sony and they said i would need to restore my computer but i really think it's simpler than that. Please anyone help me through this step by step as it's really annoying having to connect every 10mins or so.
