need more info than that, like the chipset model #, etc.

also, since all the circuitry is on the motherboard, on board audio is more susceptible to noise created by other nearby circuits. in most cases you wont notices or there wont be any, but it can happen.

an Athlon XP 2600 wont run at 2.6ghz. it actually runs at 1.91ghz, so you are fine. the 2600 is an equivlency to a intel chip. the difference is in pipeline length and basically, it is because the chips are different.

take a pic of the card and post it here. maybe if we see the card we will be able to help. especially make sure that we can see the writing on the cards chipset. . .

plus you can watch movies on it and stuff. it really impresses the ladies (and everyone else pretty much) at school. ;)

ok, your not doing anything too intensive, and you are getting a dual core cpu, so your pretty much ok. in fact, everything that you want to do could be done with a computer thats a little older. 512 is good, but a gig wont hurt. if you are interested in using the laptop for the next few years...

depending on what your doing, memory can make all the difference. pretty much today 512 is the minimum. if you computer seems to do a lot of hard drive thrashing when you open a program or switch between programs, then get another 512. this could indicate that your computer is using the swap...

that is all up to you, those are options that you select during the installer.

i had that same problem with my old memorex (dont laugh) dvd burner, it was not even listed on the memorex website. i searched google and found another place that had the firmware updates, i tried it and it worked. of course, you do this at your own discretion.

well, also if the printer has an ethernet connection which would allow it to communicate with the printer. in other words, if the printer can only connect to the computer, then anytime the computer is off, then you wont be able to use the printer.

ure ure breath and a t shirt ;)

you could look up all of those on google. i know zclient is zone alarm. there are several windows processes there that are fine.

o yeah, and pay special attention to the manufacturers dead pixel policies. a stuck pixel can be fixed, a dead one is, well, dead. and dead pixels are annoying my aopen came with 1 stuck pixel and no dead pixels, and the stuck one is fine now :)
