    Memory — “How the processor stores and uses immediate data”

    When you use a program, the computer loads a portion of the program from the hard drive to the much faster memory (RAM). When you “save” your work or quit the program, the data gets written back to the hard drive.

    Microprocessors — “The brain of the computer”

    PCs primarily use…[Read more]

    Hmmm…..

    Most people run computers with a min of 500mb of ram. You can’t buy a computer with less than 1GB (1000MB) of ram now.

    Its under power to the point where its too slow to use !!!!!

    mine has 4GB of ram on it.

    No…

    Hmmm……

    I would have just got a usb wireless plug in from one of the many mobile phone companys and save myself all the trouble.

    Depends on your budget.

    This is the kind of thing you are looking for in a base unit.

    I think you can now buy mobile phones with more power than your computer.

    It seems to be about 5/6 years old and I can see you don’t use it for much.

    I would say you could just replace the box with the lights on it for about £200 or get a new one for about £350

    Yes that tell’s me how bad your computer is.

    There nothing I can do to help you.

    Your computer only has 256MB of ram and is under powered.

    First get rid of the pre payment meter !!!!!

    You’re paying well over the odds for your gas and electric with them. Set up a bank account and a monthly payment plan for about £5 -10 per week.

    Look for the best deals online.

    You need to keep the house about 18-21C, place room thermometers in each room, keep an eye on them and adjust the…[Read more]

    Don’t use O2, they have a terrible reputation for broadband.

    I don’t know where you live, but give us your postcode and will get you a better deal.

    Depends on the size of your home, insulation and heating type.

    I think some of you think gas meters always give the right reading, they don’t.

    They should be replaced every 15 years, most are not.

    British Gas estimated that 20% were over/under reading.

    I first started using message boards in 1984. Its a bit different now, the computers are better and the sites too. Funny seem to be paying less now than in 1984, (I think my Prestal bill was about £20 per month…)

    Only use the technical sites and boards never anything this pointless. Used to be a very serous person, writing posts on under…[Read more]
