I wonder why AMD Dual Athlon 3600 is much more expensive than AMD Sempron 3200 whereas the clock speed of the Sempron is 2.0 GHz and the clock speed of Dual Athlon is 1.9 GHz? Some ebay sellers multiply any Dual processor by 2 to get the clock speed for example for the Dual Athlon 3200, they...

I see speakers on many monitors but what are they for? My montor has 2 speakers but I've never heard any noise from them. I am not a fan of speakers and I would be happy if I can remove my bulkey speakers and use the monitor's instead.

Strange!! I installed my XP pro on the laptop and downloaded lots of updates from MSN and haven't had any problems yet. How come I haven't got caught in activation stage?

Actually I don't want pro to be installed on my laptop, I am happy with home but I my laptop hasn't come with an OS CD, that's all.

No, My laptop is windows XP home. I have a window XP Pro installed on my desktop and got its CD. So instead of borrowing a CD from somebody and install in on the laptop, can I insert my pro CD and enter the serial number of the home version? The reason I ask because I don't want to get stuck in...

I went display properties > setting > advance and found a "SIS Utility Manager" tab. There is a "Video setting" there that gets you to a window which supposedly should enable me to adjust brightness and color. The problem is that nothing changes even after setting and click OK and apply.

I unhided all files but still the same. If I right click on drive C icon, I can see that the drive is about full but when I open drive C and select all files and rightclick > properties only 3G of 7.8 is full so I cannot find out which files has filled up the drive. :confused:

Aren't my documents and descktop files on the C? I selected all the files and folders on drive C and the total size was about 3G. By the way, all files on my documents and desktop adds to only 10M.

My drive C is 7.8 GB. I install all the programs on drive D but most of the time more than 5GB of drive C is full. I recently keep getting the message that my drive C has not sufficient free space for Windows XP. I checked the drive to see what fills the drive but I couldn't. when I click...
