I am going to buy a new PC from Dell, and I’m going to get the Inspiron 530. I am not going to get the Celeron CPU, I will get at least the Pentium Dual Core E5200, but I was wondering what will make the most difference in performance, upgrading the CPU to a Core 2 Duo E7400, or upgrading the graphics to a 256MB ATI Radeon HD 345. I am going to use this computer for storing / playing music (iTunes mainly), watching films, web surfing, E-mail, MSN, and playing some games (nothing like Oblivion or Crysis, more like Sims 2 / 3, Counter Strike Source, Trackmania, and other Steam games) on medium settings. So, for all that, what would be better, Pentium Dual Core and 256MB ATI Radeon HD 345, or Core 2 Duo E7400 and Integrated Intel Graphic Media Accelerator 3100? The other specs will probably be 2GB 800Mhz RAM, 250GB HDD, 17″ 1440 x 900 Widescreen LCD monitor, DVD +/- RW drive, and integrated 7.1 HD audio. Thanks

Hello everybody,
My battery just recently died on my 06 Acura TL. When I restarted my car it asked for only the radio code, not the gps/nav system code. So the GPS works fine but the audio system does not respond and has a ‘code’ message above the gps screen. I KNOW what the code is for my car but the problem is that I do not know how to input it. It is a 4 digit code and the screen display does not allow for me to put in any code digits. And the buttons for manually surfing the radio stations 1-6 are not sufficient for my code because it contains digits greater than 6 and 0. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’m 27 and ever since I was 12, music has been my purpose in life. It’s always been so easy to write music and I’ve always loved everything I wrote. Now I just pick up my guitar, pluck out a few ineffectual notes and get depressed about not even caring enough. I’ve really let my skills slip. I’m in my studio right now staring at my keyboard, guitars, amps, audio equipment and stuff and I just don’t care. I mean, I DO care, but not enough to even try. I keep reaching to my right and hitting a few keys and then I go back to surfing the net as the depression begins to well up.
What do you do when you no longer care to even write?

Ok well I had a friend over and he was using the computer and surfing the web and watching youtube videos. Then we go out and when I came home, I do the startup repair thing and it says that you need to remove audio devices and crap out of the laptop. And then i restarted, ran in normal mode and: my laptop restarted cause of blue screen (Showed up for like 2 secs). Ive tried pressing f8 and doing safe mode and with ive tried it with networking and with most of the other options. Ive tried restoring but it says it cant. Wtf!!!! My laptop is an acer aspire gemstone 6920g. Don’t answer this if ur gonna tell me to update windows or run antivirus software because: I CANT GET PASS THE BLUE SCREEN, tell me how to! PLEASE!
