Other - Hardware - September 2006

My question is what is better? I do NOT mean in power or speed I mean what one has better features. Geforce has some transparent windows features and stuff along that line and ATI has "All in wonder cards that let you watch T.V on the PC. Overall out of both video cards witch ones have better features that enhance and add extra PC features? The price range for the card must be within $1-$370 Canadian after tax. I am not looking to buy one but my friend is.

I bought a Linksys WRT54G version 6 router and out of the box it simply DOES NOT work reliably. After upgrading the firmware and having the same connectivity problems persist, I searched google and found that hundreds of customers are experiencing the exact same problems. Why? Linksys switched at version 5 to using the VXWorks Operating System instead of a Linux based one. As an IT Professional I've always recommended Cisco and Linksys, but after this experience I would caution all against purchasing. They simply did not test the hardware sufficiently and plan to sell you a broken router with a promise that things will improve as they develop better firmware upgrades. Has anyone else had an experience like this?

A few days ago, the cursor stopped tracking properly. Now I am getting messages that the computer is not recognizing "the device." Is it a glitch or do I need a new mouse? I am techno-ignorant and would appreciate real help.

For as long as I can remember I have always had a problem of the outside of text and images being cut off. I thought it was because my monitor was too small but now I have a 21" monitor and still the same problem.
An example, when I open all programs I cannot see the bottom one. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
I tried adjusting the monitors settings but it doesnt help.
Plus the arrow disappears on the right and bottom but not the left and top.

There's nothing particularly wrong with my Hard drive, but it's about 6 years old and getting quite noisy. I was just wondering if I can copy all the data across to a newer drive (and possibly a larger one) without losing my registry, or my outlook emails. In other words, does cloning do exactly what it says on the tin, or will I lose some things?

I know that the Pentium 4 processors are socket 478, but I am not sure if all of the P4s are socket 478. I have a Pentium 4 930(I think...)
running at 3.0ghz, and I wanted to know the socket number. Please answer me with detail! ^^
Also, I am asking this because I wanted to buy like a Zalman CPU fan or something, but I have no idea if my CPU is socket 478... Please tell me! And suggest me a low price, good performance CPU cooler.

Price range of $10 - $50
