I've been thinking about getting a laptop for a long time. I did a lot of research and decided to wait until Yonah came out. I was between an Acer and a Lenovo because I had an Acer computer until about 3 years ago (P1 133) which I loved and an IBM T30 laptop, which was pretty good. When...

I just paid 1199 for an acer laptop from compUSA. It's a 4202WLMi and I got a 250 dollar rebate. The sale ends tomorow I think, maybe that was a different sale though. TravelMate 4202WLMi Core Duo T2300, 1,66ghz - 667mhz 2mb L2 15.4 WXGA wide TFT LCD 100GB HD 1GB DDR2 ram it has blue tooth...

This is a perpetual question for me since I started thinking about getting a new computer. I keep thinking "if I wait another few months I can get a much better computer." This leads to me never buying a computer, which I really want. How do I know when its good or bad to wait? Thanks.

How bad is the performance of low-powered yonahs? Do they perform the same per clock as the other yonahs or are they all around slower? And how much better is the battery life? I was looking around on Lenovo's site and of course it has no information other than the battery life is better...

I don't know exactly what's going on, but I have a pentium 4 1,8ghz (Northwood, I think). In my BIOS, I can change the multiplier to anything between 0 and 50. When I restart, it still says 18 x 100.00, but I set it to 24 and it won't boot Linux all the way. It boots the kernel I think and it...

Interesting description, but might be a really good deal, especially for candians/british candians. It says local pickup only. ebay monitor

Sempron 3100+ 512mb 80gb I was thinking about getting this, sticking in some more ram, a gfx card, and a cpu. Would it be worth it?

Which is better? ATI® MOBILITY™ RADEON® X300 -or- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900

How can I tell what is inside a new computer? I am looking at several from acer that use Semprons, but I cannot tell what socket.

The CPUs on laptops run at way lower frequencies than other computers. I am probably going to get a T43 for school and then I'll put a 7800gtx video card and some ram in it. Will I be able to run games well on it? Will it be too slow for games by the end of the year? 1,86g/533m centrino...

I deleted a whole lot of stuff off of my hard drive, but some of it seems like it's still there. I have included some graphics, so you can see what I'm talking about. If I select all the files in my H:\ drive and right click->properties, it says its 25,1 gb. If I use properties, it says I...

It will support ATI's dual GPU feature, but not SLI (NVidia's). To make it support SLI will that just require a BIOS update or a new motherboard?

What would be the best way to overclock for cheap? If I used electrical tape and industrial grade plastic i could cover the entire motherboard, cable connections, hard drives, etc. and run it in a bathtub. Also, I have -10 degree 2% humidity right outside my room to work with. What would be...

I am trying to decide how to upgrade. Are dual-processors really going to be that big of a deal in future games? I've heard right now they make virtually no difference. I am basically hoping that I can make a pc that will play most of the titles for the next 2 or 3 years. It seems to me if...

Do they make laptop memory faster than 533 mhz and is it just like upgrading desktop memory? Can you upgrade processors in laptops? Like, say, from a Celeron M to a Pentium M? I did this in my desktop in the reverse, which makes me wonder... also NewEgg sells a 2 ghz one for 250 dollars, and...

Aren't they too slow for games? Should I stick with CRT or will going to LCD work just fine?

Why sound cards? Is it really worth 100s of dollars and what does it do? Most motherboards are equipped with 5.1 surround sound, aren't they?

How much better is it than DDR2 or even DDR? If the GPU runs at 400mhz or 550mhz, how much good does it really do to have ram running at 1000mhz? The cpu might run faster than that, but I don't imagine the data transfer from the cpu is that big of a factor.

I have a socket 478 computer that doesn't work. I'm pretty sure its the motherboard, but it could be the cpu. I'm considering two options: 1) Buy a new 478 motherboard for 40 or 50 dollars and hope that was the problem. 2) Buy a new motherboard which will allow me to upgrade later and...

I have heard that Centrino processors get way better performance vs other processors of the same clock rate, is that true?
