My Internet has been acting up lately — just a series of kicking me on and off. When I do get on, I seem to be capped at like 10kb/s whenever I try to download anything. I tried diagnosing it on [...]

Hey guys, I’m looking into building a decent computer for school. I’ve pretty much decided on everything except the mobo/cpu. It needs to handle AutoCAD and a few other engineering programs very easily.
I really have no idea where to start, there are just so many different combos to use. Any help is appreciated. I’d like [...]
I need a new laptop for school and I’ve narrowed my choices down to these two laptops:
Both laptops are available at stores near me. The HP C2D is $787.61 is and the Compaq AMD is $677.99. The price difference is quite significant and I’m wondering if the difference in performance is worth it. I figure [...]
