Laptop76.jpg” title=’I am buying a Laptop very soon and I need to know what is the best kind of processor. Both of my desktops are pentium, but I hear that those are not always the best kind to use. I will be using my Laptop instead of my desktop. I primarily use my computer to game. I am trying to look for the best Laptop for me. And I know that how you use it makes a difference.
Thank you everyone!
I have a computer friend who I think I can get to install additional ram… but I am familar with how important adequate ram is.
I plan to buy an external hard drive, so I am not concerned with how big the hard drive is. I know using an external hard drive will slow the usage down a lot. So I know the processer will be even more taxed than usual.
As for price, I am not really worried about it. I am getting this as a gift and was told that price is not an object. The only constraint I am working with is I have to get it from one particular person. Apparently, this person is selling it to the person I am getting it from for the price he got it for.
They just bought a Toshiba Satellite a205-s4707 for 400 bucks (regularly 900) from this person for themselves.
I will have a limited selection of brand and stuff to pick from and I need to basically select the best one for me out of the ones he has. 
I just upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 Pro, it will find everything on my wireless network except my Laptop running XP home. I have ran through the network setup on both machines & restarted each. I only see how to setup a homegroup which requires W7 on each.
I bought a used desktop which has windows 7 ultimate installed on it. After a few weeks i m getting a message that the windows is not genuine. There is a product key printed on the computer for Windows XP. I tried to install Windows XP by formatting the hard disk but the setup doesn’t even start. I wonder if i have to do something else before trying to install windows XP. Any one can help with this please.
I have an eMachines T3985. Should I get a new computer or upgrade this one?
this is a desktop
The desktop has Vista Basic and I wanted to know if I could use the Disk that came with my Dell Inspiron 1520 Laptop to upgrade the OS on the Desktop.The disk is Vista Home Premium.If you need more info Let me know.
I have a legitimate licensed copy of winxp pro on my desktop.
I want to buy a new desktop and it comes with a licensed copy of winxp pro
I don’t want the hassle of reinstalling programes, transferring files and settings etc. It would be easier to clone my old hard drive to my new one.
Is it possible to do this properly and legally? If not is there any other solution?
The red flickering could be because the screen is not displaying black properly.
[1] I’ve read that XP media center can access max 3.25 GB. *IF* this is true, I’d like to upgrade to XP Professional x64 which, again, I’m told can handle it.
[2] Is this easy to do? (Or is 64 bits a hassle & incompatible?)
[3] I’m using XP rather than Vista as I read Google has a dispute with Windows over desktop searching. I must have varied desktop searching & don’t want to risk being locked into microsoft – but again this may be an unjustified fear.
Thanks notably to Joe Palooka & Tall Paul.
I’ll try the AMD site.
I take it 4GB RAM (which is what I meant) is the maximum for XP media center.
I have lots of reference books, notes, website info, and other material which is quite disk-intensive. Search engines vary quite a bit and I’m doing careful comparisons; eg I think only of them allows you do instantly delete irrelevant answers. One allows searching by synonyms and thus may catch stuff others don’t. One suggests similar sources, based on some algorithm. When I’ve found the one that suits me I’ll stick with it! It’s not exactly obsessive!
so, i just downloaded the windows 7 iso and have now extracted it, I have a lot of music and video which i would like to keep without going through the effort of tranferring them bit by bit to my desktop by using a Memory Stick (all i can afford at the moment). Is there a way i can keep my files without tranferring?
