the problem with my laptop is that windows media center and flash video dont mix well. they both are processor hungry which is why I want to get a pc that can handle both and then some

The laptop is running Windows 7 and it has a 7200 RPM Hitachi drive. Even if I were to get an SSD, the processor is not good enough to do on the fly transcoding plus be my dvr. It's only a core2duo 7300. The new pc does not have to be tiny or blend in because it will be used in my room and I...

The current system I am using is a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop that is 5 years old. It is really getting annoying to use. Chrome is very resource intensive and then when I watch a youtube video my cpu spikes up to 100%. I am pushing the laptop because I also use it to record my shows with media...

Hello, I realized today that firefox did not have it in the settings to remember my browsing history. There is a site that I want to visit again. Is there any way of seeing my history even though firefox was not saving it? Maybe using a program that recovers deleted data? Or manually opening a file?

Everything else runs great. I looked up the issue more and found that other people had the same problem. For some reason, if u disable "keep star ratings globally" it speeds up significantly.

I forgot about other devices around the area. So I am going to assume that in the real world speeds of 100 mpbs cannot be achieved with 802.11n

I have intel's latest drivers and my laptop is the only device that is connected on the 5GHz band. I know that 300mbps is the maximum and dont even plan on getting those speeds since with the wire all i can get is 100mbps. The weird thing is that I can get 100mbps wireless but cannot maintain it...

I recently bought a Linksys E3200. I connected to it with my laptop which has a Intel 4965AGN wireless card. Both are in the same room about 10 feet away from each other. I connected to the router on the 5GHz Band with 40Mhz and WPA2 enabled. Even with these optimal settings and my laptop...

I have a brand new Acer laptop, WIn 7 HP 64bit, core i3 2nd gen, 4GB ram, 500GB 5400 RPM hard drive. I have about 300GB of music/videos. When ever I open Windows Media Player, it hangs for sometime and then becomes responsive. As I change from photos, videos, music, it hangs as well and then...

Thank you for clearing that up. Accroding to PassMark, the N830 was a little faster than the N660 (higher is better) (lower is better) AMD Phenom II N660 Dual-Core 1820 354 AMD Phenom II N830 Triple-Core 1939...

He bought the Acer one but it can be returned if any of the other 2 is a better one

I am trying to get a laptop for my brother that he will use for just basic needs. He recently bought and Acer laptop which came with the new AMD E-350 processor for $400. I was not sure about that processor and read up on it and saw that it is a new processor from 2011. His laptop comes with the...

The reason I would like it to be a core i5/i7 system is just so that it life usage can be longer. My thought processes was since those are the newest processors out, they would give me longest life with respect to being able to run well on applications., etc that come out 5 years from now.

I am looking into buying/building an HTPC so that I can use it with the Ceton cablecard tuner when it comes out. My main reason is because I dont have a pc with a PIC-E slot Mainly what I want is to use it for media purposes, like windows media center, blu-ray, hulu, boxee and the like. I would...
