Laptops & Notebooks - October 2007

this laptop i want looks perfect , it has a T7250 Core 2 Duo Processor, 2.0 ghz, 2 gb ram but upgradeable to 4gb and 250 hard drive, the only problem is that it spins at 4200 rpm. my question is that if i upgrade to 4 gb of ram, will that kinda speed up the hard drive in any way, or is just gonna perform that way regardless?

Is leaving my computer on most of the time a good idea? Will it last longer if I turn it off for several hours a day?

I've tried ending several processes but not much difference. Could it be due to the McAfee antivirus which i've just installed?
Or is it a virus/infection? pls help...
btw.. my laptop is running on Pentium M - processor 1.6 Ghz with 1 GB RAM.

thx in advance, guys

first and foremost, I wanted thank evryone who replied, I got a message that someone replied with a question, but I couldn't find it. Anyhow, I think it's spyware, I am starting to hear clicks that were not initiated by me and the mail page wouldn't load.
But than again it could be from deleting cookies and temp files.
Also I tried to go to processes and eliminating as much stuff as I can get away with, I ended up accidently turning off the computer. With a little bit of practice I got my page file (mostly keeping the system files) to 270 MB from 350. But I have to keep my comp. on stnd by or redo the prcess every boot. If someone can refer me to file extension dictionary I would gratly apreciate it.

I wanted a clean slate on my computer, so I decided to format my laptop; a Dell Inspiron 6000.

I completely deleted all partitions, and then created one in the empty partition space (so Symantec backup is inaccessible). However, I am not sure which drivers to install to make my computer internet-accessible (ethernet controllers), nor do I know what sound card drivers and graphics/video/display drivers to download so that my computer will function as it was before.

I have a Dell Dimension ResourceCD [contents: Device drivers, Diagnostics and utilities, Computer documentation].
My format CD was a Windows XP Home Edition that came with my desktop computer (a 2400), which is what I used to format my laptop.

Thanks in advance for any help.

It is a satellite notebook with a blue top. The area around the keypad is silver, but the keypad itself is black. It has Harmon Kardon speakers and cost about $2500 Australian. I bought it in mid-2005, but have misplaced the paperwork. If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks!

On my brand new compaq presario it says the d drive is low on disk space. The only thing in the file is the recovery thing. The only things I even have on this computer are about 400 songs. This laptop has either a 100 or 120 gb hard drive(i forget which one). Please explain what I have to do. Also what exactly is disk space.

I wanted to clean my laptop up with recovery disks that I downloaded from Gateway. When it was in it's final stage with install XP it would stop at "Registers Components". I tried this a dozen times with same result.I called Gateway and explained it to them and they told me to buy a new harddrive, which I did. I got the same results. Called Gateway back and they said now it was probably the recovery disks I downloaded from them .So they sent me their recovery disk from the factory and again it would stop at "Registers Components". So NOW I tried my XP OS disk and it loaded just fine except I can not connect to the Internet. I went into Device manager and I don't have the drivers in "Other Devices" there, they have the Yellow Mark next to them. Gateway gave me a link to the drivers, I downloaded them to a flash drive and was able to install 8 of 10. The 2 that I can't get to install is "Ethernet" and "Network". Please Help.Like to solve recovery 1st, If not then the XP issue with Drvrs.

I know this question has probably been asked a million times, but I'm asking it again. I got my Dell laptop about three or four years ago. It's a Dell Inspiron 1100 (old, I know) with Windows XP. Currently, I get internet by plugging in my ethernet cord (I have Comcast cable internet). However, my campus is wireless and I'd like to be able to take my laptop to class with me. Do I just need to get and install a wireless card? If not, what else needs to be done so that I can have wireless internet at school? Thanks!

When I watch movies on my laptop, the volume do not go as loud. Even when I max out the volume on my laptop, the sound is still low, especially when watching certain movies where the characters whisper. Is there a way i can further increase the volume on my laptop?
