A little overpriced. Check out the ASUS Eee PC 1000HA, ASUS Eee PC 1000HE, ACER Aspire ONE, Samsung NC10, Lenovo S10, and the Dell Mini 10 for comparison prices. If you want to spend $399 on a 10" netbook, go with the 1000HE from ASUS.

Think of Celerons as Core 2 Duos with only 1 core and half the cache. They still perform very well, but in my opinion, the Pentium Dual Core (basically a Core 2 Duo with stripped cache) is a much better value these days. If you wanted something similar to the Dell Mini 9 but didn't want to...

I suggest this: HP DV7-1183c - $799 Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit Core 2 Duo P7350 4GB DDR2 250GB + 250GB SATA Hard Drives Blu-Ray ROM w/ DL DVDRW + LightScribe 17" WXGA+ BrightView 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 802.11 a/g/n Bluetooth Gigabit LAN 56K Altec Lansing w/Subwoofer Costco -...

I would avoid any web host that advertises large amounts of disk space or bandwidth, when you know it's impossible for them to deliver. It's usually a very poor business move for the host, and usually attracts ignorant customers (I don't mean that offensively). There exists no "unlimited" or...

Every modern hard drive has the ability to park the head, so there should be no reason why a replacement drive wouldn't work.

I've never hosted more than one site on a Windows server, so I'm afraid I can't help you there. If you use Apache (I suggest AppServ), you want to look for <VirtualHost>, I think it's at the end of your httpd.conf file. I always had problems setting up virtual host entries on Apache 2.x, but...

AUP's like these make me wonder why anyone would consider doing business with them. You are a paying customer, you should get what you pay for. As long as you are not overtaxing the CPU, consuming too much memory, or doing anything illegal- a host should have no problem with you using as much or...

Generally, to install a CMS or forum, you should at least know how to create databases, users, and give them privileges. This is easiest with a control panel. Most applications will come with an installer, where you point your browser to install.php, it asks a few questions, and it sets...

I would have to say Sprint offers the best service and highest speeds. In my area, it's $59.99 for unlimited monthly usage.

The m15x is superior as far as upgrade options and performance. It's also probably a little bit more portable than the DV9700T. But it's very expensive, even at its base price. Probably far more than most people are willing to spend on a laptop. Once you start adding options, you could be into...

One of my HPaqs (Presario V2000Z) had a power jack issue. I thought the jack had become unsoldered, and that it was going to be a pain to fix. But it turned out to be the very end of the power cord that had a loose connection. HP has been using the same exact power supply model for about 5...

Yes, you can. Buy a TV tuner card. They genereally come in USB, PC card, and ExpressCard formats. USB is usually cheapest. They often include dongles so you can accept video from a number of formats (just verify that it supports the connector type from your carputer, or that you can get an...

The simplest fix would be failed or misseated memory. Remove the memory cover and then try this: 1) Remove, and then re-seat the memory. 2) Test. 3) Remove, and then re-seat the memory in the other memory slot. 4) Test. 5) Try replacing the RAM or testing the old RAM in another notebook. 6)...

If you ask me, the good news here is to the mobile computing and entry level desktop market. I think a lot of manufacturers will be looking more and more to an AMD solution due to the advantage AMD will offer when it comes to their new integrated graphics model. Looks like AMD is marketing 780G...

I really wish I had my EeePC going through college. It's really small and really light. Being small, it's easy and quick to take out and put away, and it doesn't take up a lot of desk space. Being lightweight, it's incredibly portable, and so easy to just pick up with one hand. And because it's...
