How to buy a Laptop

These are some Guidelines before you buy a laptop

#.Decide the purpose of buying laptop. I mean why you want to use it ?
 Is it only for playing games, surfing and watching movies ?

There might be many reasons to buy a laptop, some which I consider are given below:

1. For Fun and Entertainment:
    If you want to buy for fun then you can choose variety of good laptops. Here speed and performance does hardly matters. So you can choose high end products which are stunning in looks for example sony vaio.
I personally feel its an high end laptop and if you don't want to consider performance and ready to pay for looks this the one you are looking for. Well there are other brands as well but for better looks go for sony Vaio.

2.For Educational purpose:
  This is one an student is looking for. Most people consider student doesn't need an high performance laptop as they consider being a student you just need it for gathering information. I agree with those people but in addition if he student is an engineering student then he might need something extra. He should be able to run programmes such as Visual Studio as well as eclipse and net-beans at a time and may be he needed to open browser and other documents simultaneously. So I personally request you to go for 3 GB RAM, 320 GB HDD, 1300MHZ FSB, and an Core 2 duo at least. I will prefer HP/Compaq fr this purpose which wil save cost and better performance.

3. For business purpose:
 For a business purpose you may need a good battery back up as well as a good processor such as any AMD processor and an ample amount of storage available. I am emphasising AMD as it is an high performance processor and it adds more to the cost of it. An 14 inch screen would be a plus as it is easy to carry and portable.

These are some Reasons...But what you need to understand about the architecture and performance of the laptop ???

There are few hing which one should remember:
RAM not always decides the performance of the system.
If I have 2 laptops A and B.
Configuration of A: Core 2 duo processor 2 GHZ, 1 GB ram, 1100 MHZ FSB, 320 GB HDD.
Configuration of B: Dual Core processor 2.2 GHZ, 2 GB ram, 800 MHZ FSB, 320 GB hDD.
The laptop A runs with same speed almost with laptop A. Why??
Please consider FSB Front Side Bus too before purchasing a laptop. If it has got more speed the data between processor and RAM will move faster. So here both processor and FSB matters.
Also performance wise Core 2 Duo is 1.5 times faster than Dual core processors.

If you still got questions clarifications please feel free to ask in the comments.

Get lyrics while playing the song


nice song, want to sing it??? But, you don't know the lyrics, and moreover, it'd take a lot of time searching for the lyrics on the web. So, you drop the idea. Now pick up that idea you earlier dropped down, cause, now you can get the lyrics for any song within seconds. Minilyrics is the software I'm talking about. When you play a song with media players supported by Minilyrics, it connects to the Internet, and downloads the lyrics, and the downloaded lyrics is displayed according to the flow of the song. So, you sing along with the singer, and you find no hassle finding the lyrics.
You can directly download Minilyrics on softsonic and CNET.

How to make RoadRash run smoothly on Windows 7

As the title itself indicated I am talking about the famous game of my childhood "RoadRash".
Did you tried to install the game on windows 7 ?
Oh if yes then I must not wonder, installing is quite easy.
But the real problem is when you start the game you will not be able to see the things clearly as the configurations is likely in 16 colors and unclear.
You can clearly see Its me at 15 th Rank and Player name "Aditya". I just took a screenshot.

After finding a little I got a solution.
Follow the steps given below

1.Open task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
2. Go to process tab.
3.Find process named "Explorer.exe"
4.End this process (Your desktop will disappear, Don't worry you can get it back once you finish the game).
5.Now go to file menu of task manager click on New task(Run).
6.Type desktop press Enter. My computer window with root directory as desktop will open up.
7.Locate your Roadrash installed file. Double click it (Start it).

That's it Enjoy your old game and lighten your childhood memories.

When you finish your game you need to start explorer.exe which you killed earlier.
1.Open task manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
2.Now go to file menu of task manager click on New task(Run).
3.Type explorer and press Enter.

Your desktop will reappear.
