i have an old dell computer that i havent used in a couple of years, as i had a sony vaio laptop. now my laptop has broken, and mky old computer is as slow as hell.

so i’m thinking i’ll upgrade it.

I have a very basic background – i used to build computers, but that was back in the mid-late 90’s, so things have changed quite a bit!

It’s a dell dimension 1100 (spec in the link: http://www0.dealtime.com/xPF-Dell-Dell-Dimension-1100-Desktop-Computer-for-Business-DIM11P4MIN)

i’m thinking that the minimum i need to upgrade is the RAM, processor, and hard drive. as far as i can see, 2GB RAM is the highest this machine can cope with. but if u replace the motherboard, can you then go for 4GB?

so basically i need to know:

do i need to upgrade the motherboard? if so, what will fit/be compatible?

what processor should i get (based on either my current motherboard, or the upgrade you suggest)

what RAM is compatible with my current system/how to upgrade so i can use more RAM

what hard drives are compatible/what should i look for (i’m thinking 1TB)

anything i’m missing?

i don’t really use the computer for games that much, so i don’t need a top of the range graphics card, but if there is a cheap upgrade i can get, i’ll get that too

thanks for your help!!

What is the best computer/laptop considering by brands in order from best to worst?

MacBook?
Tosiba?
Sony Vaio?
HP?
Compaq?
Gateway (Heard it was the worst…)?
And more…?

Please let me know…I am asking about overall lasting of the items and functioning. Most reliable from the manufacturer in order from best to worst. Thanks

I will be going to college this fall and will study Computer Science and Business Management. I am trying to decide which laptop I want to get. Price isn’t really a huge issue but I really don’t want a Dell and I can’t get a Mac because of college preferences. I am currently considering either a Sony Vaio ( E Series or F Series) or an HP (dv6t or dv7t). If anyone has any info on these 4 laptops or comments that might help me I would really appreciate it.

I’m in the process of saving for one. I’ve had my eyes on a Sony Vaio. I’d like one that has a 200GB Hard Drive and possibly 2GB of memory. I have a price range of 0 to 0 dollars. Please help!

I am starting college in a couple months and I need to buy a new laptop computer; however, I am not sure which is the best to buy. I will need it to write reports and work on projects. I also plan to take a lot of multimedia and film studies classes that will require me to make and burn my own DVD’s so it needs to be able to do that. I currently have a sony vaio but i need a better one for college. Please help, Thanks!
