Laptops & Notebooks - November 2007

I tried setting up a connection... Do i have to talk to my enternet company about it or is there an easier way? I'd like it to be wireless but in another room is fine so can i plug a phone line into the the laptop and get enternet?

Clueless x.x

My wife and I are looking into the purchase of an used laptop, since we don't have the funds for a new one. Where do we look for it, and how do we protect ourselves from buying things which will rapidly break down and become useless?

i bought an HP Pavillion dv 6000 laptop with windows xp media center edition 2005. the catch to the good price was the fact that that it didn't work!!! when i turn it on it goes to the "blue screen of death" with the error message-UNMOUNTABLE BOOT VOLUME...i do not have the original start-up boot-disks and it does not have a floppy drive or i would've downloaded them from microsoft. oh yeah...when i got it home i found the MAC printer installation disk in the drive..soooo, can that disk do the damage that has been done??? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP & INFO

1. Core 2 Duo or AMD 64 x2? - some says that Intel is definitely better & AMD heats up real quick. Others says both are as good, only Intel is preferred only cos of the popularity & there's no difference between the 2.
2. Some says the speed e.g 2.0 Ghtz, is more important than the FSB & the cache & others says otherwise or doesnt matter - the RAM is more important as the bigger itis, the easier & faster the computer will access the required info/perform the required tasks.
3. My main usage will be for gaming, some file sharing on the net, movies now & then & storage (which i'm aware the bigger HD the better)

The local drive is using the NTFS format and the recovery drive is using the FAT32 format. Should I convert this drive to the NTFS. It has 13% free space, not enough for the 15% required to defragment it. If i format it, will it erase the drive's contents, because it is my system recovery after all. some one help

Should I buy a cooling fan that sits under your laptop? Does this really help, or should I buy a better internal fan and install it? I am not sure if the external fan (connected to USB) is a sham or it really helps the life of your battery and CPU. Thanks.

I can explore the drive, even in media player. This is an older laptop that can pretty much only run win 98. But theres no reason it shouldnt be able to play it. It had a crappy trial version dvd player and that worked. (but not good enough to use)

Whats the problem with media player?

If it wont, what dvd players will work in win98?

If there was any kind of workhouse laptop that I should buy, what would it be? Price range $700 to $1000. Pc or Mac? Uses would be work, music, and video related.
