Laptops & Notebooks - November 2007

I recently bought a HP TX1320 with AMD 64 2.2GHz
2GB RAM, 250GB sata HDD and Vista OS. It boots much slower than the one bought
last year which is ASUS W5F with Core 2 duo 1.66GHz
1.5GBRAM,100GB IDE HDD and Vista OS
Please tell me why ...CPU matters?.Because AMD has a much smaller cashe than core 2 duo ..or mother board matters? the HP has a better HDD(SATA), faster CPU...larger memory but small cashe memory ...AMD's is 1MB and core 2 duo has 2 MB

Thanks in advance.

I've been recently trying to boot from a CD so I can install Ubuntu... But when I restart my computer I see no 'Press F10/F12/Whatever' to get into the BIOS. I've tried to press F10 and whatever to see if it would do anything but nothing happens... Is there another way I can get my computer to boot from CD?

I have a Toshiba Satellite 2405-S201 laptop if that helps any...

I want a laptop for christmas, and I keep looking them up on Ebay and Compaq.com and everything. The problem is, my family only has a budget of like, 1000 dollars for christmas presents (I THINK). So, I have to look for a laptop for 500 dollars and cheaper. I really really want one bad, and I was wondering if someone could tell me where to find some so I could tell my mom? (I know I might sound selfish, but I'm trying to think of Awesome gifts for my family, too, so please don't say "Think about what the real meaning of christmas is", and stuff like that, bcuz I already KNOW all of that, and I know that giving is the best gift of all and all that, but please, could someone help me? Acer would be OK if it had, like, 2 or 4 gb of memory so it would go fast. Links would be really nice!!!!!!!! This is my last question I can ask today so please answer it!!! Thanks in advance!!!

I upgraded the hard drive and memory.

Or should I get a different laptop?
I like to go on the internet, play the sims 2, write in my "Journal" on Microsoft Word, Word Pad, etc. And I like to watch videos, like on You Tube and theCW.com and ABC.com and everything. I also play games like Nancy Drew, Second Life (gossip girl). Is this the right laptop for me?

I have a 2 year old Compaq Presario V2000, and I recently noticed that the fan is really, really loud, even while just browing the internet or typing in MS Word. I would understand if it was really loud while I would be downloading something or watching a video or anything Flash related, but is this normal during regular use?

If it isn't, anyone have any advice on what I should do? Buying a new one is not an option.

My kitten knocked my boyfriends laptop off the table and now the screen doesn't work.. well not unless you hit it.. then it comes on for a few seconds.
Hooked it to my monitor and everything else works great.
Any ideas on what i can do to repair it myself (feel guilty!) as home insurance doesnt cover it (grr...). Detailed instructions would be good as im a novice in fixing the internal bits.. and the only person i know who can do it is my ex.. which i dont think is going to happen lol.

Thanks!

The "Hardware and Software Guide" dated Nov 2004 on page 121 states:
"Each notebook memory slot supports one 256-MB, 512-MB,
1024-MB, or 2048-MB DDR2 SODIMM memory module."
But the manual also states: Max 2 GB ram.
I really hope the manual is wrong due to it's 3 years old.

Ok - I checked similar questions here but I couldn't really find anything helpful. Maybe you guys can help me.
Here is my problem:
When I turn on my Sony VAIO VGN-FS750P, on the top left corner says "No operating system found". Now when I run BIOS (F2), the system finds the Hard Disc and it says there the kind of HD(Toshiba 100GB...). I have the boot discs (re-installation discs which bring computer to its factory settings) but when I put it in the CD-rom it doesn't do anything. I checked on BIOS, the CDrom is the first on the Boot list. But still when I put the boot disc on the cd-rom it doesn't automatically run like it is supposed to do.
Now, before I order a new hard drive I want to make sure that it actually is fried before I go and spend $120+ for it.
Can anyone help me, or should I just order a new hard drive?

Thanks
