I have an R3000 laptop with the AMD Athlon 2800+ cpu. It seems slow to me. The Control Panel /System says anywhere from 400 to 800 Mhz at different times. My desktop which is an older Athlon shows 1.4 gig on that screen. I tried looking at the BIOS but there is no setting for a multiplier. What...

Then, Windows kicks in as normal. I've tried various things - even disconnecting the hard drive to prevent an OS starting -...

My sis has one of these boxes, and she asked me to take it home and clean it up - spyware, adware, all the nasty stuff that four kids and limewire can bring home. She thought she was doing me a favor by disconnecting everything before I got there, and she didn't realize that there were two...
