Guide to Building your own Computer

These days, every component can be bought separately and put together at home to create a bespoke system that reflects your specific requirements. For example, you might require a larger monitor than is standard with the model you want, you might need more memory, greater processing speed or any number of other elements that can't be bought in one tidy package.

The motherboard is the heart and soul of any computer and this should really be your first consideration when you start thinking about putting together your own system. With so many options now available, it really is possible to create a computer from scratch that works more specifically for gaming, tech, or other uses that an out-of-the-box computer might not be designed for.

Motherboards, like all other computer components, are available in all manner of specifications and to suit every budget. You don't need to spend a fortune to buy a good quality motherboard that will combine with other elements to create a high spec computer that's been designed with your needs in mind. In fact, some of the cheaper models are more than adequate to create exactly the system that you need to expert gaming or high-level technological work. Having said that, the motherboard is the heart of your computer and, if you can afford to spend a little more, you will reap the rewards in the long term.

If you need your motherboard to support graphics card then this will obviously have an impact on your final decision. You will also need to consider the speed of the processor and it's really up to you whether you decide on the processor or the motherboard first – just make sure that they're compatible. If you need a number of different USB ports you should also check this out when choosing your motherboard. Although most of them support numerous USBs these days, it's always best to make sure. The same goes for firewire: people often assume that this comes as standards but that's by no means the case. It's a good idea to have a list of requirements that you can then cross-reference against each motherboard before making your final decision.

CES 2011 News ? Laptops Preview

CES 2011 News – Laptops Preview   From processor updates to 3D technology, we give you the lowdown on what to expect for laptops at this year's Consumer Electronics show.

There's always big news for laptops during the Consumer Electronics Show, and this year is no different. From processor updates to 3D technology, these are exciting times for the mobile PC market. Read on for what to expect in laptops in the coming year.

 CPU and GPU Get Closer
In terms of the processor market, it isn't just another speed bump this year, nor is it about adding more physical cores to the processor die, as with previous years. This year, graphics power is finally riding shotgun with the CPU. Both Intel and AMD will unveil new chips, followed by a sea of laptops that will for the first time feature on-die graphics. The mere fact that the graphics component is that much closer to the CPU means that novice and part-time gamers can actually play the latest 3D titles without having to spend extra money on a midrange graphics chipset from the likes of Nvidia and AMD. It's a monumental improvement in 3D graphics-related tasks, coupled with big gains in CPU horsepower. Intel's new chips, codenamed "SandyBridge," will be revealed as the next generation Core i3, i5, and i7 processors in retail. Meanwhile, AMD refers to its latest APU (CPU and GPU on the same die) as its Fusion technology.

Nvidia and AMD Not Standing Down
Despite the buzz surrounding SandyBridge and its new and improved graphics platform, Nvidia and AMD aren't backing down in the discrete graphics race. Their graphics chipset will boast about DirectX 11 and the graphically detailed images that Intel can't achieve with SandyBridge, which will not support DirectX 11. You'll see frame rates that will rival ,000 gaming rigs from a year ago while paying a fraction of their costs.

Netbook Aren't Going Away
Tablets may have been getting the lion's share of attention this past year, but don't put netbooks out to pasture just yet. This coming year, netbooks will continue to charge forward until tablets can prove their staying power. AMD, of all companies, is leading this charge with its APUs, promising an overall performance improvement without sacrificing battery life. They'll be pitched as low-cost ultraportables, but the target is really the netbook market, which has been owned by the Intel Atom. Intel, of course, is still a big presence in the netbook space, and you'll see plenty of netbooks that'll launch with the dual core Atom.

USB 3.0, 720p Webcams, and 3D
USB 3.0, 3D technology, and 720p Webcams—get used to these terms, because you'll be hearing them a lot in relation to laptops. USB 3.0, for instance, is already prevalent in desktop replacement laptops, but you'll be seeing them in slim form factors like ultraportable laptops as well. It looks exactly like your average USB port, except it's the icon is blue, and, oh yeah, it delivers 10 times the transfer rate of USB 2.0. It'll eventually replace eSATA in laptops, since having both of these technologies on board is redundant.

Smartphones like the Apple iPhone 4 can shoot 720p video with its Webcam, so why shouldn't laptops, with their bigger screens, be able to do the same? We've already seen the first 720p Webcam in the Dell XPS 15, and at least a few more laptops will allow users to video chat and shoot videos in high definition.

3D is still more gimmick at this point and even more so in laptops. But that won't stop the countless manufacturers from launching 3D laptops that come with the fancy eyewear. Glasses-free 3D laptops aren't out of the question, as Nintendo and Toshiba have already announced 3D technologies that can be viewed with the naked eye. Laptops will announce support for 3D even though their panels can't display it. If you invested in one of the latest 3DTV flat panels for your living room or office, companies like Nvidia and ATI can push 3D content out of your laptop's HDMI port to your 3D flat panel. This includes 3D Blu-ray content, games, and even home-made videos and photos (converted to 3D using special video editing packages.

Stay tuned for our moment-to-moment coverage of this year's Consumer Electronics Show.

The primary reasons for the logical damage of the hard drive are operating system failures, malicious virus or malware attack or any other type of internal file corruption. In case of logical hassle, the accidental deletion of data also occurred. On the contrary, the physical damage of the computer hard drive refers to the conditions where any of the internal hard drive components gets physically damaged and the hard drive stops functioning as a result of that. Computers help experts define such hard drive failure as dead hard drive.

Question by Breanne A: Computer help. Youtube/Veoh etc. being slow. How can I make it faster?
Just recently, Youtube/Veoh videos started lagging. It came out of the blue - just last week, they were zooming by, and done loading in seconds.

I have to pause the video before it begins, and wait as the progress bar SLOWLY inches along.

Even videos that are 30 seconds long take a little while to load.

What is causing this lag, and how can I fix it?

Best answer:

Answer by Migyyy
there are a lot of causes:
1. Maybe the Problem is from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) itself
2. Virus, Spyware, Bad Registry

try downloading "cc cleaner", a very useful tool, that allows you to scan for errors in the registry and fix it, also helps take out unnecessary files from your pc.

4 budget ultraportable laptops for back to school

Laptops are getting faster, more portable and cheaper as the back-to-school season rolls in. A new range of lightweight laptops from PC makers priced between US0 to 0 are as portable as netbooks but offer much better performance.

These laptops come with screen sizes ranging from 11.6 inches to 13.3 inches and can offer long battery life, sometimes in excess of six hours. Performance-wise, these laptops are not slouches -- they can play back high-definition videos and are capable of handling casual gaming.

However, these laptops are not capable of handling intense gaming or demanding applications, given the limited processing power and graphics capabilities. These laptops also don't come with optical drives, so there could be an additional cost involved in buying a DVD or Blu-ray drive.

Dell Inspiron M101z(dell laptop battery)

Dell recently introduced the Inspiron M101z, which the company claims offers "long battery life." The laptop weighs about 3.44 pounds (1.56 kilograms), and Dell tests indicate the battery life to be about six hours and 30 minutes with a six-cell battery.

The laptop is priced from US9. It runs on power-efficient Athlon II Neo single- and dual-core processors from Advanced Micro Devices. It will decode and play back HD video with the help of AMD's ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 integrated graphics.

The system supports up to 8GB of memory and 320GB of hard-drive storage. It also has a 1.3-megapixel webcam and an HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) port to display HD video on external devices. Wireless connectivity options for the laptop include Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi.

Toshiba T235( toshiba laptop battery)

Toshiba in mid-June launched the Satellite T200 series of laptops with screen sizes ranging from 11.6 inches to 13.3 inches, and with prices starting at 9. The processor options include Intel's Pentium or AMD's Neo dual-core processors. The laptops support up to 320GB of hard-drive storage and 4GB of memory.

A model that stood out in the new series was the T235D-S1340, which has a base price of 9. It comes with an Athlon II Neo dual-core K325 processor and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics. It has 3GB of memory and 320GB of storage. It also includes an HDMI port and a webcam. No further information was immediately available on the laptop's battery life.

The most expensive laptop in the T200 line is the 9 T235-S1350, which comes with Intel's Pentium U5400 dual-core processor running at 1.2GHz.

Hewlett-Packard's Pavilion DM1z

For those who prefer HP, the Pavilion DM1z laptop is a lightweight budget laptop that includes an 11.6-inch screen.

Cloud Computing Education Taken to the Next Level

Cloud Computing Education Taken to the Next Level

There is no surprise that cloud computing education is a necessary tool for many companies and even schools. With this type of computation system that should not be confused with others such as grid computing, utility computing or autonomic computing. Even if you are not completely familiar with cloud computing, you most definitely use it on a regular basis such in computer applications like Skype. The interesting part about cloud computing is that entire systems can be set up on a renting basis. The infrastructure of your project and the access tools and applications used can be rented rather than the more commonly owned tools to get these businesses and projects running.

The Economics of Cloud Computing

With a down spiraling economy, with already cut IT budgets, cloud computing education may be the answer to many problems, especially IT financial problems. Many critics wonder if this type of computation system will really work in the long run, if it is a quick fix for a poor economy or if it will just fizzle out like other computation promises. Regardless of the suspected hype that this new system has generated, it is true that cloud computation is another form of what most people are accustomed to such as social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, email systems like Hotmail, email filtering companies and even security monitoring. These are all forms of clouds computation.

What Benefits Does Cloud Computing Have on Education?

It is no wonder why students find themselves in a bond. Not only do they have to worry about student loans and purchasing books, but they also have to spend hundreds of dollars on computer software in order to complete their assignments and prevent their computer from failing on them. With this in mind, cloud computing education allows computer users to use desired applications without the necessity of purchasing the software, the frustration of installing it or the hassle of taking up computer memory with support software. Through different cloud platforms like Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service and Platform as a Service, cloud computing is made possible.

Considering the money saved through these cloud applications, most speculate that the largest benefit that cloud computing has on education is its economic factor. Instead of purchasing software and infrastructures, renting prices are determined by how often and how many services are being used. All software and data are stored in a remote host which enables computers to free up space while also being accessible at any time for users. Considering the amount of resources that cloud computing offers, users can find just about any type of infrastructure, service or software that they need. This helps to cut costs for educational institutions or any type of organization or business that uses cloud computing since these organizations will no longer have to purchase expensive software for an individual or a limited small number of employees and students.

Many experts in the IT field believe in Cloud Computing education and the benefits that it can provide for millions of computer users on a daily basis. However, only time will tell if this computation system will prove to be a success in the world of computation.

Notebook Laptop Computer

What are the minimum requirements I should look for in a notebook/laptop computer for regular everyday use?

I'm not a big PC gamer so I really want something to browse the web everyday, use it for college (microsoft office programs), and look at DVD's or watch videos on the web without too much buffering/waiting.

Just create a list, what are "must have", "nice to have", "dont care", and what is your budget, knowing good and well in a year's time the cost of the notebook will go down considerably.

I am going to assume you are looking for a windows based notebook. Realize that pretty much any brand new notebook comes with vista.

Size, I would say a minimum 15.4 inch screen. Although watching dvds on a larger screen is nice, but heavier and costs more.

Minimum of 1GB RAM (expandable to 2GB)
If possible a 7200RPM hard drive.
Dual Core CPU.
Minimum of 3 USB ports.

What is a good portable laptop for a college student?

I'm going to college and need a new laptop. I want to spend less than $2000. Since I will be bringing it back and forth to school, I want something that isn't too heavy and thick. But I also want good performance out of it.

You should look into PCs because they are cheaper than Macs and better specifications if price is matched. . .

You should buy something that's less than $1200 because you will want to buy a new laptop in 2 years since the speed of the notebook will get slower each year as technology evolves. . .

You should buy 13.3" laptops or 14.1" laptops. I would recommend HP dv2000 series, LG E300, Toshiba U300 (U400 gets too hot easily), Dell XPS M1330 and Lenovo T61/T400. . .
