i have clocked my cpu to 3.45ghz with the voltage at stock 1.4v. will i be able to push it anymore if i up the voltage? i have a decent cpu cooler and ram that will take a good overclock, but im not sure if the cpu will even go much above this speed. ive tried going further without upping the voltage and its unstable but i dont want to fry the chip with too much power!

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?

I want to get a laptop and I made the one i want on dell.com. It was a Dell Inspiron 1420 and the total was $989 with : 1 GB Hard drive, 120 memory, cd and dvd writer, high speed wireless card and it was 14.1 screen.

i found this laptop on circuit city and its a sony.

which laptop is better to buy? i mean the Sony one has double gb (the dell has 1 gb the sony has 2 gb and the memory is 200 gb in the song). is sony better than dell and is it reliable for like 3-5 years?

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?

just bought a canon mp970 and it did not come with the cd tray, and the feature is disabled. the door that the tray goes into is also sealed off. this printer was obviously meant to print onto cds and dvds.
