Maybe we should start a Google For Oil program where they send over a couple million barrels of crude in exchange for the secret google URL.

Either:
a) Open the computer and see which kind of bus it has
or:
b) See the specs[^] for the board on Intel's WWW site

Pour water onto the motherboard and note the color of the sparks. red=AGP, blue (and sometimes green) = PCIe.

About to purchase a new computer. Thinking of Vista Home Premium.
1. Would you recommend opting for 4GBs of memory?
2. Are there any reasons to go with only 2 GBs?
3. Thinking of going with a Q6600 processor — any comments?
Thanking you in advance for your help and time.

The only thing I would say is if you must have Vista, go for Ultimate, the rest are all handicapped in one way or another. Most people would say go for as much as you can afford on the processor and memory front. It'll be too small and too slow in 3 years whatever you get 
Nothing is exactly what it seems but everything with seems can be unpicked.

unless you need domain support and mediacenter ultimate is essentially a ripoff. The only thing it has of potential value to a home user is remote desktop, and unless you're going to be conntrolling it that was on a daily basis, VNC is good enough and available in free incarnations.

1 - With the amount of memory Vista can use to preload applications into its cache, more memory would definitely be a good thing. People have had good reports with x64 and 4 GB.
2 - No.
3 - The Q6600 is a great processor and the price, at this point in time, is quite decent. If you're about to purchase the computer right away, I don't think you could go wrong with it, but I have heard that big price cuts are expected soon.

Instead of Vista, get Linux.

Please give me some idea.
how to write the code for communicate with soundcard
|
|
|
|
|

http://www.zeitnitz.de/Christian/Scope/Scope_en.html
that link implement oscilloscope from soundcard using Labview.
I think it should work in c++.

I am in the process of buying a new dev laptop. I was just looking for suggestions on what brand, model, and what specifications I should look for. I am using VS.net 2005, and I do most of my work in C#. I do alot of work with large data files, and a few huge projects. My current system isn't handling it too well. I am leaning towards dell, but not sure what I should invest in. Anyone have an ideas?

Well for one, it depends on what you're going to be using it for. If you're just using it for developing, then I would suggest a:
- Large Hard Drive (200-300GB)
- Fast Processor For Large Projects (Intel Dual-Core Cores are great!)
- Large Monitor (Always helps when developing)

Dell is good. I haven't had any problems with them. Not to mention they always have great deals!

Man, have you gotten lucky!
Out of 4 Dell notebooks, I've had 2 bad motherboards, replaced the keyboard in 1 notebook 3 times, bad batteries (recalled) in 2 notebooks, and a hard drive that died 2 days inside the warranty.

Yeah, the only thing I'd be using this system for would be development. I was thinking of a Dell Inspirion E1505. It's cheap and it looks like it has what i'd need. Here are the processor and memory specs. I think this would suit my needs well. What do you think
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5300 (2MB Cache/1.73GHz/533MHz FSB)
2GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHZ, 2 DIMM
Also, I'd get windows vista(unfortunatley). Should I get Vista Buisness?

Make sure you get a 7200rpm HD. The only concern with the Inspiron line is that they're not built as solidly as the latitudes and XPSes are. IF you leave the machine on your desk continually it's not a real concern but if you're going to be dragging it all over the place you really should spend the bit extra for sturdier components.
I'm not using it for development, but my home laptop is vista and I haven't had any real problems with it. IF you're concerned about it though, the business/ultimate licenses allow you to downgrade to XPpro legally.

Need I say more?
Hard drive speed, RAM, and CPU are going to drive this more than anything. The bigger, badder, and faster you can get, the better, and longer it's going to last you before you have to upgrade again.

If you are considering getting a Dell, you may want to check out the eDealInfo[^]. Every day I check out their site, they have deals on Dell computers. Also, make sure to check out the Coupons section, it could save you some cash
