Iam still looking for the best pc for around £600! I have been told to use an intel processor & now im trying to work out which graphics card to buy. Do i choose a 512mb(256sma) or just a 256mb with a high power resolution? Im not a big pc gamer but would maybe like to try some of the latest e.g call of duty3, FiFFA 07. champ manager.

I have Microsoft media keyboard and the keys are noisy, no matter how gently I press them. Plus, the design of the keyboard being hollow, causes creaking sounds when my hand rest on it, Overall it is a noisy keyboard! I don't want the expense of a wireless and I have/want the ergo style with the keys separated in the middle, and set at an angle from each other. Does anyone have a good keyboard that they would recommend to me?

I want to play some videocassettes, view and edit them, and then convert them to dvd format. Can this be done? Do I need additional software? Do I use dvd-rw or what sort of format do I need? Can the average person do this or do I have to have special technical and/or computer knowledge? Perhaps, there is a website I can go to. I have lots of videos of my late father I want to be able to share with my family. My ultimate goal is to make a dvd with some of his favorite songs as background music. I have pictures and video, is it possible to have both on the same dvd? I appreciate any help you are able to give. Thanks.

just wanted to know, which do u think is better? pros and cons of each in ur opinion.
cos i used to use pentium and found that AMD was just as good as cheaper without sacrificing preformance, my AMD xp3k+ processor is just as good as most single core prosessors still sold in ireland and it was only the budget one, whereas my dads new pentium cooks itself (not litrally of course but i do get warnings from the temprature moniter software) wen put to full power and is only 200mhz faster

k my freind bought an ipod (the old big 20gb) off of ebay and everytime we try to plug it into a computer to change the music it says on the computer power surge in the usb port.
right now i have it because he got a new one. he takes it and charges it on a power pack (i think) so i can still listen to the music that was already on there. any ideas on how to fix this so i can put music on it?

I notice that the windows OS has a "safely remove hardware" function that goes in combination with USB flash drives, does this actually contradict the fact that the actual specifications on USB 2.0 are HOT SWAPABLE? Or is this simply just a dummy message saying that you have something streaming from the drive.

I cannot find instructions on how to use a usb flashdrive anywhere. There's not a small booklet, pamphlet or anything. There's not even simple instructions in the package the usb flashdrive comes in. Does anyone know of a computer book that might contain these instructions, or do you know of a web site that gives help or instructions? Thanks.

I have a video file that i want to write to cd using my very regular cd-writer. However, the video takes one single MB extra than the cd's volume... Is there any recommended way to overcome this problem?
Btw i did come across the "overburn" option in nero, however it's filled with warnings about harming the cd and the cd-rw.. plus i don't need any more than 1mb extra.
So, what should i do about it?
