So I'm looking to buy a new gaming computer since my laptop shot a while ago. The last computer I had was not a gaming laptop period. It had an on board graphics. I played the game on low settings and had around 15-20fps? On a good day.

I'm kinda wondering how well these computers would play WoW on High or Ultra settings. I would be happy with 40-50 fps. I'm really not looking for the 100fps or high, I think that's pretty pointless for a game like world of warcraft. I may look into other games like Borderlands and maybe neverwinter.

Anyways these are the computers I'm looking into. I will say that yes, I know building my own computer would be better. But I honestly don't know how. I don't have anyone around here that knows how to build one either. And I really don't trust some random computer guy to mess with it. So building it on my own, for now is out of the question. Also I know these are pretty low grade graphics..I know in the future I'll probably have to upgrade eventually.

Alright so, I'm in need of a new computer pretty bad. Though looking around online I came across this computer.

I'm trying to look for a computer that fits my budget, which isn't really all that big sadly. Though I ran across this computer. I really didn't think it was to bad seeing the computer has a pretty good hard drive which is a massive upgrade from my (60GB) Hard drive. Another thing was the Ram which is 8GB and mine only has 2GB. My budget I would say is probably no more then 800 dollars..and that's pushing it really. The things I normally do on a computer is the following things:

World of Warcraft

Starcraft

Sims games

Surfing the net

Music

Just to really sum it up, I'm a big computer gamer. So most of the things that may be on the computer are games. I was wondering if maybe this was a decent system for something like that? Again I'm not really looking for Ultra settings for a game. Maybe not playing everything on high graphics, that really doesn't mean much to me. I'm more so into fps stability.

Also I was told that All in One computers really are not up-gradable. Though I was wondering if this one was? It's not really to much of a big deal if it isnt..but if it is then that is a plus.

So I have a new phone. And well i'm really stupid when it comes to Cell Phones. I'm used to using Tracfone but a friend talked me into getting a contact with Tmobile. I have the new Samsung Gravity 3. With unlimited whenever, nights, weekends, M to M and SMS. The add-ons for the phone are FP unlimited Messaging and FP Nat'l Roaming

Ok so my question is. Am I able to text to Canada, receive and send texts for free? My friend said I could and that it wouldn't cost me anything, that was more so if I was outside the US texting somewhere like in Canada? Cause I would be roaming? Or am I getting some things wrong her? I live in the US

I bought a ticket on Expedia to go see my fiance. Were getting sponsorship stuff together for my move down there. The thing is, the trip is like 4 months or three unless I'm counting things wrong here. I leave August 16th and I don't return till November 17th

Am I going to have any problems while staying there? Or them letting me through? Last time I went I stayed up there for 3 months, or somewhere close to there and had no problem. I have a passport. I also read that you can stay up there no longer then 6 months so as I read on the the immigration site I'm ok?

I'm getting a Urine test done for a physical that I need in a couple of days. The thing is I may be on my period, or on the start of my period when I go. Will this effect anything? Can I take a urine test while I'm ministrating?

Alright so I was wondering if this was possible with out me getting into any kind of trouble. After searching online lately the round trip tickets are ridiculous it's crazy how expensive they are at the moment. For the past like five years that I've been flying I've usually always bought my ticket around this time but it's never been this expensive. So I'm wanting to go see my girlfriend who lives in Canada. I live in the states. We were going to get a round trip ticket like we normally do but this time it's around 585 dollars non stop, and 450 1 stop. That's a little ridiculous in my opinion seeing how we were going to spend probably 400 on the ticket.

But as I was sitting there thinking, I was wondering if we could buy a one way ticket? They are cheaper, a lot cheaper. And I am staying there for at least three months. Were getting some things together for my move. And after the date that I wanted to come back on, I was wondering if we could buy a one way ticket for me to come back home.

So I guess my question is this. Am I able to buy a one way ticket to Canada, living in the states to stay for a bit, the time spam that I was going to stay on my round trip ticket anyways. Stay for the period that I wanted to stay and then buy a one way ticket back home? This seems so much cheaper and easier to do, but I don't want to get into any kind of trouble at the air port or do something I shouldn't be doing. If I can do this I'm going to be really sad seeing how I wish I would of done this a long time ago..would of saved me A LOT of money..

Swollen taste bud or cold sore?

Alright so probably about 3-4 days ago I had a burrito. It was kind of spicy but I ate it anyways. After the burrito I found this odd feeling under my tongue. So I got up and went to the bathroom to go check. This was probably a couple of hours after eating. But I noticed this white head under my tongue right on my frenulum (webby part).

Alright so I had no idea what it was so I asked a friend and had her look at it. She said it could either be one, a swollen taste bud or two a cold sore. I wasn't really sure what to think of this but after waiting a few days and taking a little bit of yogurt I noticed nothing has changed but I also haven't really been eating it for very long to probably get a change.

The odd thing is, is when I pretty much each anything, a vein swells and causes the left gland on my neck to slightly swell. It doesn't hurt it's just a bit uncomfortable and kind of an annoyance to know it' there..And thats probably because of where it's at. But any other time it doesn't swell, only pretty much when I eat and my taste buds going insane I guess.

So yeah any idea of what it could be? Or maybe anyone might know if they've had such a thing to maybe give me some pointers of how to get rid of it? It's really annoying :S

So I have no idea whats wrong with it now, and im starting to wonder if my old battery was really dead. I use 4RDS cards for my DS, and I just recently bought a new DS battery. Well I charged it up till the light was gone, played it and only maybe had an hour of playing time. So whats the deal? Do 4R cards take up more juice? Or is my DS dying? I had it on the second to lowest light setting with no sound to so..its not because of that.

So I'm scared to death of hospitals, Im scared to death of my own health. I'm one of those people who grew up in a family where you know only ONE part of your families medical history and none of the other. Everytime I come down with the slightest pain I usually don't bother with it much, it still scares me but this time it's much, much different.

I had gallbladder surgery around this time last year. And a few days ago it just hit me. Give or take, three days ago my side started to act up. It just felt weird, like my gallbladder crap all over again. So I didn't really pay much attention to it since I was told it was probably gallbladder phantom pains and nothing more, sad thing is the pains last and last hitting me every once in a while and I knew gallbladder phantom pains wouldn't last this long...

Well for the past few days I've expierenced weird stabbing pains on the right side. More around where my gallbladder is I guess? I eat anything I want and I'm fine, I've felt fine but there was this one day probably a few days ago that I woke up and was instantly sick. I actually came very close to vomiting but never did (only because I hate doing it..) After a while I felt alittle better but something in my mind was telling me something was wrong.

Today I was filling up a pan of water and started to get the pain in my side I guess from lifting it up a little, shortly after sitting down I got cramp like pains almost in the front lower part of my abdomen and back pains in the lower part of my back. I also had these same pains when I was cleaning house one day, bending a lot. They both eventually stopped and again I've been sitting here fine with a few stabbing like pains in the side.

I've never really been sick again, I've felt like a buss hit me. I'm fatigued badly, and so far I've never had a feaver.

Tomorrow im going to the doctor about it, only because I know this shouldn't be put off any longer.

So what do you guys think, Gallbladder Phantom pains or Appendicitis?

So my friend has never been to the dentist and I'm trying to make her go. Money has always been really tight. She came to me the other day stating that she was scared that her teeth might be rotting. She said every time she brushed her teeth it bleeds (she does no brush her teeth very often..) Yet her gums are pink. She said after a while of brush it does stop. But if that place is like picked at or so it bleeds kinda bad.

But she said she had noticed on some of her teeth in the cracks inbetween slightly up close to her gums there is like black? light black. Shes worried that this might be decay? But it's weird because I thought when you're teeth decays it starts at the top of the tooth not the cracks, or can tooth decay be anywhere?

I keep telling her it's probably bad tarter build up since she doesn't really brush her teeth very often. That a good clean should do it because she has plaque in places as well. She said it doesn't hurt either.

What do you guys think?

So the title says it. I'm leaving to Canada for a vacation to see my girlfriend to get everything ready for me to move down there. I'm just a little worried.

I'll be gone August 20th - October 15th and were planning on going to be doing quiet a few things like:

FanExpo Convention ( Anime, gaming, celebs, convention )

The Exibition ( Big theme park, carnival )

Canada's Wonderland

Plus other things

I am american, but I'm just wondering if the H1N1 thing is really worth being afraid about still? I don't really hear it on TV at all anymore but maybe once every few weeks, I guess to let everyone know that it's still around. I have very good Hygiene and wash my hands a lot. So should I really worry?

Also is there anything I should do to prevent myself from getting it?

So a friend was screwing around on my account while I was in the bathroom. He totally removed my hotkey '1' attack, just like you get when you first start out on a character. And now I can't figure out how to get it back.

Not even my T works anymore. I've taken my weapon and stuck it in the hotkey but nothing works. So whats the deal and how do I get my attack hotkey back in my hotkey bar for number 1?

I feel no pressure when I pee of have bowel movements.

So, my girlfriend and I share accounts on eachothers playstations. We trust eachother, have for years. We've been dating for a long time. Though I read somewhere that people can't add other peoples accounts just to download content from people. We've both downloaded quiet a bit of content from one another, I buy a few songs from the rockband online store and she does the same so we both have the same songs to play together. ALSO, Shes Canadian, I'm American, soon to live in Canada.

Is this one of those 'dont add random people'

or..'don't add people at all to share content' sorta deal?

I kind of thought it was ok to share with people that you REALLY trust but I know not to give it out to some random idiot online.

Ok. I'm going to explain this as easy as I can. My girlfriend and I purchased the Metal Gear Limited Edition PS3 bundle. We got it online and everything and it was working perfectly fine. Though probably the first few months of having it, we noticed that the internet doesn't want to stay fully connected all the time. And even when we run the connection test, it says that she has 80%+ of connection and it still just doesn't stay connected long. I think the longest it stays on anymore is maybe 10-15 minutes, probably gets about 10% of the playstation updates before canceling and saying that the connection was lost.

My girlfriends sisters boyfriend said that we have the wrong router? if that isn't possibly, we have cable or something and he said we had something like a DSL router or something, I don't know I didn't exactly understand. Though I don't see why it could work just fine and then all of a sudden just not want to connect anymore, or won't stay connected. Specially when our laptops stay connected fine, as far as I know, and the Wii that we even had in the house worked just fine till her sister took it back.

So could it possibly be a 'wrong' router? For this whole thing? I really didn't know there was special routers for different things, and if we got the wrong one how the hell is it even working? Lol. Or is this maybe a PS3 problem? which is what I'm thinking...suggestions?

God i'm pissed...anyways

I ONLY have a Debit MasterCard and for some reason it isn't allowing the information saying it's invalid. Yet I've done it like 5 times, ALL right and it still says it's wrong. There is quiet a bit of money on it, got my taxes back today....What the **** is the problem?

Does Playstation Network no take MasterCard even though it's in one of the choices? Really that's pretty damn dumb. Anyways has anyone come across this problem, any solutions or a reason as of why PSN hates mastercard?

Alright, I had this issue around the last time I had my period. About three days before my rag I got this weird pressure under my belly near the pelvic area. The day I started my rag I had really bad cramps and then after that it was fine. My period was normal.

The pain under my belly lasted maybe a couple or so days after my period and I felt just fine I was getting no pressure or nothing.

Well It's getting close to my period again and today I'm getting the same exact pressure I got last month before my period, and I think my rag should be starting in a few days. I have been cramping off an on.

Does anyone have any clue what in the world this is? I went to the doctor about it (The first time this started) and he thought maybe it was a UTI, well I took the pills and even after taking the pills It still didn't stop but stopped on it's on eventually.

So I'm a little worried, though I don't know if I should or not. My mother always tells me the body changes as you get older, so i'm trying to learn this..Lol I'm female, 21 years old. My health has been excellent till about last year towards the middle I started to get Gallbladder problems.. I'm not to good with weird pains, I feel one and instantly go into panic mode because this is irregular for my body, hasn't happened before so I start to worry about it. And looking up online just makes the issue worse, so i'm steering clear from there.

I recently had gallbladder surgery probably two months ago? maybe three but that might be pushing it. I healed up just fine, perfect with no problems. Probably about 3-4 weeks ago I had a bladder infection. I woke up one day busting to piss because I was to damn lazy to get up and go pee before bed, I was really tired that night. I was going often to pee, no burning and it felt like a weird pressure under my belly on the right side. I drank a crap load of cranberry juice and took some pills for about two days and the preasure and peeing a lot had stopped so i stopped taking the pills.

Well about a week ago, three days before my period I got preasure down there again, in the same spot, and I was getting weird pains in my grion area. My periods run very normal like usual, I go about three days and stop, Usually my periods are heavy (runs in the family) and sometimes I do get sever cramping (though it's rare) the first day which I did this time around but that usually isn't anything I worry about.

Well thinking maybe it was just my period acting up I waited. Well a day after my period the preassure and stuff was still there.I feared it was my appendix so I called the doctor about it. I went in speaking about it, he checked for my appendix and it wasn't and he said I could possibly still have my bladder infection. So he sent me home a pee cup because I couldn't go at the doctors at the time (pee'd before I left, I had no idea he would ask for a pee sample :S) Well this was during the weekend so I had to wait. Well it's monday and I havn't gotten a phone call saying if it isn't or not. So I'm taking it that it might be my bladder infection. Weird thing is, is if this is my bladder infection why the hell am I feeling all these this time around and not the other time :S?

He said after i had taken in the pee test to start some pills he perscribed me. I've been on them for about three days now, but today I forgot to take one in the morning, didn't realise I missed it till I was out in about grocery shopping. While walking, lifting some things into the cart I started getting weird cramps around my back and sides, it was like I was cramping again, but I had my period about 5 days ago.

Could this possibly be a bladder infection?

I havn't been peeing really to much but it's been a little foggy? I would guess from time to time, no burning.

Was the cramping I recived was because I didn't take my pill? Can bladder infections even CAUSE period like pains?

As I was taking the pill for a few days the pain in that area had gone away. But after I missed this one day I all of a sudden got cramps and that preassure in that one spot came back, i'm guessing because i was moving about a lot. For the past few days I haven't really been moving around.

I'm still cramping a little bit right now but the pain is slowly dying. :| It's weird. I really need to stop worrying about it lol..but I can't help it. Any ideas?

Sorry this is like a wall-o-text I've seem to gone through a **** load of problems these past few months..I guess you could say im just a little..sick of it..I turn 21 and my insides go to hell..lol

Oh and another thing here, I DON'T HAVE SEX...So i'm not pregnant..

I'm about irritated with this, and i've learned that online support is ****, even with Dell.

I went online one day, and all of a sudden my computer started to grind on the left side. Like my fan was whirling out of control, I don't know what the heck it was. I spoke to Dell about it and they said it was because my BIOS wasn't updated..

OK! I did this and I'm still getting the issue. For the past few days i've realised what the issue and how it's starting. If my laptop gets tilted from, unleveled sometimes on the left side of it started going crazy. It's grinds and sounds like something is spinning out of control in here.

sadly this makes me pissed off. I asked dell over and over again if it's a problem inside that I need it taken care of asap because my warrenty is about to expire. Well guess what? It's done expiered and the issue is still happening. Now because Dell's online support is complete ****, I now have to pay for the damn problem.

Thanks Dell, your a great frickin help :)

Any ideas what this might be? I'm suspecting something might be out of line..I mean the laptop is just over a year old, and yeah it's used a lot but I mean come on. Anyways..sorry for the half rant this is just irritating and I feel to be the only person with this issue since I couldn't find jack all online.
