    Windows Vista SP1 Your Views ?

    For two days after I installed vista SP1 there were a few websites including eBay that just refused to work regardless of what browser I used but when I used ubuntu or xp it worked fine. I was pissed and ready to revert but after those two days it started working again. Still a mystery to me...

    Help me choose a HP laptop: 6701US or 6645US?

    First I'd like to point out those are both widescreen and in your questionnaire you said you prefer standard. Just want to make sure you're aware of that. You will however find more good solid systems for a low cost in the 15.4 widescreen. I recommend the 6645 AMD out of the two because of...

    Help, new power supply won't start

    The connector is 20 pins like the old psu. I checked to make sure it's switched on in the back. I tried just plugging it in to the motherboard and nothing else and still no power but when I put the old one back on the same way it worked fine. So I tried doing it on my older desktop (still...

    I just swapped power supplies for a more powerful one, I connected everything, press the power button and...NOTHING! What should I try? What can I do? I've been checking connections but nothing is helping.

    works fine in vista and i personally like it more than office 2007, granted I'm too lazy to get used to the new interface.

    I bought the wrong version of windows XP

    If you have to call microsoft or newegg here's the first thing to do since the software is opened...ask for a manager. I guarantee the person who answers will tell you no. You will have to be very persistent. I'm not saying be rude because that only helps at a store (to get rid of you they...

    Toshiba VS. Gateway Laptop

    Honestly it depends on the specific laptop. Also to let you know that HP and Compaq are the same company in case you want to look in that direction. It depends on your range but I'd look for the following specs At least 2GB Ram and I recommend 3GB because it'll make everything run more...

    Asus Eee any thoughts?

    I don't really plan on getting one at least any time soon but I love it none the less. I especially love the low price and these are changing the game, it seems like everyone has copycates in the making and it's just going to lower prices and push more technology for a good price

    formating hard drive 1 time a week

    It doesn't make much sense at all. I guess that's one way of making it seem like a new computer but it just seems like a total waste of time.

    Need to update my power supply

    I'm going to add a graphics card to my hp pavilion a6130 and the cheap 250W isn't going to cut it. I want to be able to add a nvidia 9600gt so I looked at the power recommendations. 9600GT.................................400W .........................26A I'd like to get a little better...

    Just ordered this laptop..

    If it has SP1 it may be able to recognize that extra gig. The specs look awesome for the price but I will warn that I sell zts (mostly low end to mid range mind you) and they seem to have bad reliability. I hope this one is different but just putting that out there.

    Ask ur comment about MX700

    The Canon MX700 is a great printer for everyday needs. It retails for about $200 but I'm sure you can get it cheaper online. I work at OfficeMax and I never have a problem with this printer and can honestly say that it has never come back. It has a very solid build, is fast, and can do decent...

    blue ray

    blu ray won the format war but now that there's no competition prices aren't going to drop as quickly as most of us would like. They'll still drop but there's a good chance it won't be until next year before it's worth it for most people to add this drives (especially if you want a burner) to...

    I want to add a discrete graphics card to my pretty much stock HP Pavilion a6130 (the only thing I added was a hard drive so far). I do not do much gaming but I want to hook the card up to my 32" HD TV and get a good quality picture and I would also like to make my computer into a DVR. I...
