    Corded Logitech Elite keyboard cleaning question.

    i took mine apart a few weeks ago to clean it and it wasnt difficult. there are plenty of screws to use so just use a magnet or jar to keep them all together, i took it all apart and sprayed the keys and stuff out in the sink, then wiped the rest down. i eat around my pc so there was a good...

    whats the deal with hyper-threading???

    im looking into a new laptop, and im wondering why i have found for instance, a laptop with a 3.2gig pentium HT processor for a comparable price to a pentium M at 1.6 or 1.8 or whatever speeds. i know hyperthreading theoretically can run 2 processes at once, so is a 3.2 chip basically a 1.6...

    remove laptop battery for always on?

    well the only problem with it is that there must be somethign wrong with the ac outlet jack on my laptop, because once in a while it loses the connection, usually just when im moving around with it plugged in, so without the battery its going to shut off... so i guess thats better than ruining...
