Hardware - December 2007

It plugs into the computer using a USB cable. If I buy an adapter with an antenna on one end and the other end plugs into the USB port on the printer, will it be able to print? WIll I be able to print from any laptop with wireless card? I will be using my wireless modem/router from Bell South DSL.

I can play now but at times with much PvP interaction or in big cities it lags alot. I know the best answer would be to upgrade both but I HAVE to choose one. I think I actually have 512 MB RAM but only 384 is showing up in computer details. It's a EMachine T6212 with AMD antlon 64 Processor. Which would be better to impove my lag problem? I don't look to play on the highest visual settings just standard.

My laptop has 2 RAM slots and as of now they both have 512 DDR in them. I am looking to upgrade to 2 GB. My laptop is compatible with both pc2700 and pc3200. I can buy 2 1 GB pc2700 memory upgrades for about $130. I can buy 2 1 GB pc3200 memory upgrades for about $170. Is the extra speed worth the 40 bucks?

I am looking to upgrade for games and general improvement for my computer

After a recent power outage, my hp pavilion takes a really long time to start up; It waits at the starting hp screen for around 3 minutes, then it changes to black for around 1 minute before the screen that says Window is starting up, or something like that.
What wrong?

Like, if a computer says it has a dual core 1.5 ghz processor, does that mean it has 2 x 1.5 ghz?

Will this processor work for a game that needs 3.0Ghz?

I have an HP laptop, and I never shut it off. I've been wondering though, is it beneficial to shut it down when I'm not using it? Does it really make a difference?

Thanks for your time!

My computer has got a very nasty worm. I've decided that I want to COMPLETELY wipe the hard drive clean and replace Windows with Ubuntu. How do I get EVERYTHING off the hard drive so that I can start over again with Ubuntu.

they dont pop when the 5.1 system isnt plugged into the computer, and when it does pop the lights flicker at the same time. is this a power surge? i recently had to replace my power supply so im thinking this is a possibility. when my power supply did blow it was already hooked up to a voltage regulator. is a regular surge protector better? what can i do to stop/prevent this?

The mobo is an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. I just recently started placing the unit into Standby. Everything appears to shut down (Fans, lights etc) and the power light would start to flash. Usually I can press the power button on the front of the case and within seconds, the unit is back to my Windows Desktop. On this day, it didn't do it. I pressed the power button serveral times with no success. I then unplugge the computer from power and let it sit for a few minutes... plugged the unit back in and nothing. Absolutely nothing occurs. I've checked wire connections, plugs, cards, making sure they are all tight and properly installed. There is a green LED on the mobo that lights when the unit's power plug is attached to power. I've removed all cards, other external devices, pretty much everything to see if a hardware device was causing the issue and still nothing. How can I trouble shoot this or are there any suggestions on what I could do to get this unit back up and running? Thanks.

I have Vista, I added a stick of 2 G Ram today and redid the Vista test thing that gives you a 'score'. Before it was 5.9, and AFTER the "Memory Operations per second" line went to 4.9, why would this happen?
