I just got my ferrari

I have three questions
First thing.... everytime I go to my computer, the speed of my computer always at 1800 the number is uneffected by the usage of the computer.

2nd, 1.5 GB Ram mixed between pc2700 and pc2100 or 1.25 GB ram pc2700? which one is better?

3rd my bettary only run 1.5 hours [lite usage internet] why is that I guess is have something to do with the speed of my computer that don't go down.....

One last question, how do I get the car sound back when I start the computer... when I first turn on my computer i got a car sound not the standard sound of the window I don't know what I did I lost that sound now I have windows sound

thank you so much for the help... photo of my ferrari will be up later today

yours truly

1st-It goes up during heavy gaming for me

2nd- PC 2700 is better, because if you use the pc2700 with the 2100, it will take the speed of the slowest, 2100.

3rd- You need to condition your battery. Mine runs for over 3 hours with normal usage.

last- Control panel-sounds and audio devices-click the sounds tab-modify the windows logon

1) Change the power schemes so it clocks itself down on battery. (When the laptop is unplugged from AC power, i.e. running on battery, open the power properties and make sure it is set to "Max Battery" under "Power Schemes."

2) 1.25 @ 2700. (as this guy said as well).

3) THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED TO CONDITION LI-ION BATTERIES. If you adjust your power usage settings (so the CPU clocks itself down) and you still only get 1.5 hrs of battery life, it will never change (provided your settings remain the same). In this instance it is a defective battery.

helps to dispel some myths about "conditioning" li-ions. while maintenance is important, the battery comes in its best condition straight out of the box--> you can't magically make it better by conditioning the battery, only hope to retain its original performance for as long as possible.

Make sure that the latest AMD Athlon 64 processor driver that you can download from this page:
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...1_9706,00.html

Also, make sure that you've selected the "Portable/Laptop" power scheme under Power Options in the control panel.

1.25GB PC2700 is better, but PC3200 is best

1. Go to your Control Panel. (Make sure you are in Category View and not Classic View).
2. Click on "Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices."
3. Click on "Sounds and Audio Devices."
4. Click on the "Sounds" tab.
5. Scroll down on the menu until you see "Start Windows."
6. Highlight "Start Windows" by clicking on it once.
7. Look for the drop down menu at the very bottom that says "sounds:" above it.
8. Click the drop down and scroll to find "FERRARI."
9. Click that, and apply your changes.
