Laptops & Notebooks - November 2007

I have an Acer 5050-3242 laptop which has a AS5050 Motherboard DA0ZR3MB6E0 and right now a 2.0 Ghz AMD Turion 64 mobile MK-36. Now I am just wondering what I need to look at in order to find out what processor I can put in. How do I tell what processor is compatible with my computer and motherboard. I've done research on the matter but am still oblivious as to how cache and bus speed correlates with my processors compatibility to my motherboard.
Any help is appreciated.

The desk top has a CDRW/DVD and the laptop has a dvd re-writer. I have tried flash drives and CD...It transfers over but sometimes when i come to open the file on laptop windows simply shuts down and restarts.....
I have scanned for viruses..mal-ware etc...the laptop is all clear.
And before you slate vista this is the only problem i've had with it since i've had it...and it's not really a problem.
I'm thinking because i'm trying to transfer video from XP/cd to Vista/dvd this may be the problem.
I don't have trouble transfering other data, such as music and files...only video/movies.
Any sensible ideas would be great.

Hello, I'm buying a macbook but I'm not sure whether I want the 1,899 model (2nd white) or the 2,199 model (black). The black one has a bigger hard drive but I hear it gets really dirty and smudges fast. Would it just be worth getting the White one for 200 less and for the looks it brings?

Thanks
Matt.

I've heard about a wifi card that you can purchase to get signals from the internet without having to pay. Is this true and if so how does it work and where can I buy it?

I need to buy a new laptop battery for my Dell Inspiron 9300 and the batteries on the Dell website are expensive and was wondering if there was another reliable website where I can purchase a new battery and adapter. And how do you know if a website really does sell OEM parts?

I have an Acer Aspire 3050 that has a 14.1'' screen that is shattered. Well I found a 14.1'' screen on ebay that came out of a Gateway 5150. Would it still work in my Acer even though it is from a Gateway??

Please no advise on buying from ebay, just wondering if the screen would work. Thank you :)

which graphics card would be better on the macbook pro or would it not make much difference at all!
i have a choice to buy a macbook pro with a 256mb ati radeon x1600 or a nvidia geforce 8600m gt graphics card both machines would have 2gbs of ram, but the machine that comes with the ati graphics card will have 2.33 ghz processor and the nvidia one will come with 2.4, is there much difference? im thinking of just going for the cheaper ati model with 2.33 ghz, im only gonna be using it to do editing and some adobe after effects motion graphics work.
anyone clued up on this sort of thing to give me some advice?
