Laptop vs Notebook

Got the question the other day: What's the difference between a notebook and a laptop?

I thought they were both the same, but I thought I'd double check on the Internet.

Seems as though there are many answers to this one, although there seems to be some consensus on the differences.

A Notebook is generally ultralight, with no internal floppy, DVD or CD system, and a screen no larger than 14".

A Laptop is heavier, with a screen larger than 14", an internal DVD drive and a full featured keyboard as well as integrated wireless capabilities. And a laptop is upgradeable.

But, of course, the main difference is that a laptop is designed to sit on your lap, hence the name.

To me, they are all portable and that's the most important thing.

RAM Installation

Installing more memory in your computer should be easy, right?
Here im give the guide to you how to install ram to your pc

First you need to know what type of RAM you need. The good news is that many sites provide a form to help you determine what you need. It is easier if you have a name brand computer, but all you really need to know is the make and model of your motherboard.

Next, the easiest part should be installing it. But take it from me, the RAM chip module has to sit exactly right in the slot or the motherboard will NOT recognize it.

Make sure you line it up just right, then with a downward force push the module in to the slot. The two latches on the side should pop right up and hold the RAM in.

I had to do this several times before the computer recognized the module.

As always, make sure your PC is unplugged from electric before working on the inside.

Buy New Computer

It's that time of year when you may be purchasing a computer as a holiday gift for someone.

And the question always comes up, what specs should I look for. So here's a rundown of the important components you want:

Laptops -

* Centrino 2 chipset technology
* 15" screen size
* at least 2GB of RAM
* Video card memory of 256MB

Desktops -

* Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon 64 X2 or Turion X2
* 64-bit Vista OS
* at least a 17" Widescreen flat panel
* at least 2GB of RAM
* Video card memory of 256MB

As far as hard drives, get as large a drive as you can afford. Nowadays, it's easy to fill 250GB.

64-bit versions of Vista operating system allows your PC to recognize 4GB of RAM or more. But beware that the 64-bit version may not be compatible with older programs and peripherals. If that's a concern, go with the 32-bit version.

If you are a high-end user, you may need a real workhorse, which means more RAM, more video card memory and faster chipset.

That should be enough to point you in the right direction.

Cara pulihkan hidden folder

Ada antara virus menyebabkan folder dalam hard disk atau pendrive anda menjadi hidden. Virus ini juga menduplicate folder yang hidden tu sebagai file .exe bersaiz 40kb dan mempunyai icon seakan icon folder default bagi windows xp. Selepas virus ini dibuang pun, folder2 tersebut tetap menjadi hidden dan tidak dapat ditukar kepada asal.

Jika anda menghadapi masalah sedemikian, jangan bimbang, ada caranya.

Untuk memulihkan folder yang telah dihidden disebabkan virus…first sekali buka command prompt; tekan start menu > run > taip cmd.

Untuk memulihkan folder2 dalam drive C: dalam cmd, taip attrib c:\*.* /d /s -h -r -s

Untuk memulihkan folder2 dalam drive D; dalam cmd, taip attrib d:\*.* /d /s -h -r -s

Untuk mengetahui apakah command2 diatas, dalam cmd, taip help attrib

Anda boleh manipulasi command tersebut untuk drive2 lain selain c dan d. Prosesnya juga mungkin mengambil masa yang lama, bergantung kepada bilangan folder dan kemampuan komputer anda.
