Can anyone reccomend any good C++ books (available on amazon preferably). Im not a total newb (I know java, php and vb.net), i just dont know that particular language that well. A book which covers data structures and concepts too would be beneficial, as im on a comp/sci course atm, …

yeah go here [url]http://www.crucial.com/[/url] It will detect what type and speed of RAM you need. You can buy from them too. Also gives information like how much it can support and whether it needs to be installed in pairs.

WxWidgets is a user interface libary. Other similar popular libatries are Qt and GTK. If you have got Visual C++, the visual aspect of it is handled using the .NET, MFC or Win32 libaries, which is what i reccomend learning. [url]http://www.functionx.com/win32/[/url]

Dont use that, use MagicJellybean. Ive used it before. Works for office too. And doesnt seem to contain any viruses. If you dont have an installed system to retrieve the key from then you are screwed. The key is [B]not [/B]stored on the disk. By "i lost mine from the …

You cant upgrade the CPU in that laptop. all current-gen intel mobile CPUS are bga (ball grid array) instead of socketed - that means they are physically soldered on and cant be removed non-destructively.

MSDE is a scaled down version of SQL200 and that doesnt run on vista at all, so i doubt it will work. MS dont officuially support anyt version of MySQL prior to 2005 any more, let alone on vista (in fact i dont think MS ever formally supported running MSSQL …

Hmm i posted a link to this on the staff board so we will see what the higher-ups say... I believe this has happened before but i dont know what, if anything, was done.

ASP.NET is a technology for dynamic web pages (similar to PHP etc...) The actual ASP.NET code can be in either a VB.NET or a C# like syntax. C# and VB.NET are mainly used for desktop apps though. VB.NET is very similar to vb6, whereas C# is more like Java in …
