Pays to do it before XP is installedMay i ask, how to you do it before an OS is installed?I have got a new Hardrive, which i was thinking of partioning (theres nothing on hardrive yet, haven't installed it etc) and i was thinking of installing WInXp on it, but how to you partion it b4 hand?Also, when you partion drives (i've never done it) does it make your pc have "virtual drives" (eg, i partion it into 3 drives, 10gb, 10gb, & 20gb) when i go into My computer afterwards, would there be C drive 10gb, D drive 10gb, E drive 20gb etc)Also, if i install the OS on on the the partions, can it freely use the other partins? (say i wanna install a game, can i choose to install it on a differerent partion)also, if you wanna format 1 partion, can you do this without stuffing up the files on other partions?thanks

What's the point in 2 pc's.... thats lame now stop showing off and buy a athlon no matter what, amd rule 4eva same as nvidia :angry:Because my dad needs one for his buisness crap, and I need one for my gaming crap, so I'm giving him this one and I'm getting a new one...easy enough?So fair nearly everyone has said AMD so I think I will go on it, I'm not too familar with the processors, whats currently the best one out other then the 64's.And how much are they?

WAR ANYONE?? NO GIVE THEM CAKE.What ever happened to Inocient till proven guilty.Also couldent this view on law be used for guns also.

In this fast-changing technological world, sometimes you are faced with some difficult choices. For instance, your current computer has matured to the ripe old age of six months and has been deemed obsolete. Now it's time to purchase a new computer and the question is, "Should I buy a laptop or a desktop?" But just because laptops are the new craze, it does not mean that you should run right out and get one. There are benefits and drawbacks that must be weighed.Of course, the main benefit of a laptop is the portability. This can be a huge benefit, allowing you to take your computer to and from work, on planes, on camping trips, and practically anywhere else. Along with this benefit comes a large drawback. It is just as easy for someone else to walk off with it as it is for you. Laptops are stolen at an alarming rate, because they are just so easy to steal. And when that computer is stolen, not only do you lose the value of the computer, but also all of your valuable data.Another major drawback of a laptop is that their parts are "proprietary" which means that if your laptop breaks, only the company that made it will be able to fix it, and after the warranty expires they will be very happy to charge you an exorbitant price for that service. While with a desktop computers, you are able to take advantage of your local computer store which will often fix it at a much more reasonable rate.A third drawback to the laptop craze is that in general, laptops are far more expensive than desktop systems. For the price of an average laptop, you could purchase a much more powerful desktop. Of course, what you are paying for is the portability of a smaller design, but is that worth it? While it can be very fun to take your computer with you on a camping trip, how often do you need to type something up while fishing?Now, the laptop is a very important part of the computer market, and I am not trying to dissuade people from buying them if they have need for them, but I have just seen far too many people dissatisfied with their laptops and wishing that they had purchased a desktop.One main example of this group of people is college students. Often first year students purchase laptops because they plan on taking their computers to class with them and being able to do their homework anywhere on campus. The stark reality of it is that laptops get stolen far too often at college, even right out of the dorm rooms, because they?re just so portable. To add to this, I do not know a single student who uses their laptop in classes. While a noble ambition, no one actually carries through with this plan.Laptops should be viewed as a purchase that should only be made when necessary. You would not purchase a car with 4-wheel drive (no matter how fun it looked) unless you actually had use of that feature, because otherwise it wouldn?t justify the added cost. The same is true of laptops.

you can find all the technical stuff you want online, but the newest intels are very fast and expensive, where as the AMDs arent' as dear.... the other very interesting part is that the intels support a faster FSB - so you can have seriously fast RAM, which is always very handy.... in that regard, the intel motherboards (and chips) will probably give you better performance...the other thing when thinking of working on a lappy is that 3d work is power hungry, so your nice little battery is going to get sucked dry in no time,,, plug it into a wall and not use the battery....

Mozill Firefox is the best.
