    old computer ram upgrade

    I can't imagine a small amount of RAM is the only bottleneck for XP on that machine. It will more than likely still run poorly even with more RAM.

    windows vs mac vs linux vs other

    To be honest, I couldn't tell ya. I've got windows 7 on my work PC, Vista on my home PC and XP on my laptop. I've got Ubuntu on a virtual machine at home and 8 on a partition. All I did with 8 though is install it and checked out the new UI for about 10 minutes...

    Computer wont boot

    Try repeatedly pressing F10 during startup and see if that gets you to BIOS. If you are able to get into BIOS and change the boot order of the devices I would try creating a live boot cd from some form of Linux and see if it will boot to that via disk drive. If it does boot to that OS ok from...

    Windows 8 Developer Preview is available for download http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/br229516 I've partitioned 8 on my PC (which I've been using Vista on) and haven't spent a whole lot of time using it yet. It will definitely utilize touchscreens to their full potential and is...

    What to do with this computer?

    That's the tough thing about building a new PC, you're usually left with your old PC that is very difficult to sell as a whole and sometimes difficult to sell parted out. You'll probably get more money and have an easier time parting it out but don't expect to sell everything... You could...

    Laptop infected?

    I've acquired my mother's laptop that has been giving her some issues. She wants to still use it if I am able to fix it. It is a Dell Inspiron 600m (becoming a bit of a dinosaur, I know) and has Windows XP. The issue we are having is when using any type of web browser, you are constantly...

    5770 vs. BF3

    This is the reason I will be building a new PC in about a year... Thankfully with ATI's Catalyst Control I can overclock this card pretty easily. My monitor's native resolution is also 1650x1050 so from what you guys are saying I should be able to play it at roughly medium settings. Thanks...

    5770 vs. BF3

    Unfortunately, my next gaming build is at least a year away. I don't want to wait that long to play BF3! How do you guys think the rig in my sig will play this game? Do you think it'd be a good idea to spend a couple hundred dollars upgrading my GPU? Or will my 5770 be fine until I can build...
