Hey all I was researching around Yahoo Answers and found that some laptops(or desktops can't quite remember) with integrated graphics cards can also hold a discrete graphics card . Once i learned that i was instantly excited and researched the hell out of my laptop(in title) and couldn't find anything about PCI or any thing like that. So my question is does my laptop have an extra graphics card slot?

Toshiba Satellite P205-S7402
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T5250 1.5 ghz
2 g ram
Intel Graphics media accelerator X3100

p.s Is my laptop good enought to play games like Rome total war or medieval total war? just wondering since those games look pretty good.

thank you

If I was to reformat my laptop's hard drive, would the CD drive still work (or the drives on my desktop computer if I reformatted it)? and if not, how would you reinstall it? Also, how do you reformat it without starting Windows?

Suddenly it became screen black outs, unresponsive to recovery solutions including system restore or recovery partition back up. The recovery disk from hp support couldn't make it work too. Hardware checks ok on diagnostics. Is it vista, the laptop or a virus?

I dried it out the best I could but not sure if I should plug it in and see if it works. How long should I wait to do this....should I just send it in to have it looked at or repaired first?

I'm a poor college student trying to find the best deal.. I do some graphic design work, along with my journalism writing. Would I be better off with a Mac, or could I get a Dell or HP and be fine?

Which one would you recommend?

Thank You.

Okay so, the other day someone accidently installed spyshedder on my dell laptop. for to days i worked on getting rid of it eventually downloading superantispyware which seems to work. but now i have a list of problems i noticed that may have been a result of spyshedder:
every dvd i put in skips no matter how much i clean them, the tabs on my internet explorer has disappeared and i'm unable to get to them clicking file button, i'm unable to change my desktop background using the mouse right click and properties. the option isn't even there. to top it off when i click with the right button, the options listed are only a couple. it seems like i can upload online pics as a background but it doesn't let me put any of my own pics as backgrounds do it. If anyone can help let me know. by the way i have windows xp. Please and thank you!

Other than having the advantage of being able to carry it with you, what are the advantages of owning a laptop as opposed to a desktop if any? Serious answers only please.

you would think they are the same from the specs but why does one cost more then the other, and these are pretty good laptops right?

I had installed a RAM card about 8 months ago and have had no problems, then 2 days ago my computer crashed. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to start windows, even in safe mode. So, I took out the RAM card and installed the old one and after a little tweaking, my computer finally started. Is the RAM bad? Can it be fixed? And, does anyone know what can make RAM go bad this suddenly?
