What is a good cache for a laptop if I surf online a lot especially since I am on a budget to buy a laptop?

1 MB L2 Cache would be v.good. if you want more then 2 MB would be great. But what you need to watch out for more than the cache is not getting a celeron processor because it would be slow. Also you should care about the bus speed of the processor and the motherboard.

Hard drives:\n  Size is nice, but there are a few differences.\n\nLook at the rpm speed of a hard drive.  Some are 5400 rpm, some are 7400, some are 10,000 rpm.  The higher the rpm, the faster the disks spin.  \n\nAlso look at the amount of cache on a hard drive.  Cache determines (more or less) how much can be moved around at a time.  Say for example a hard drive has 8 megabytes of cache, that means when you move files around, its doing so 8 megs at a time.  If you have a hard drive with 16 megs of cache, your files are moving at 16 megs which is double that of an 8meg cahce hard drive, and pretty much double the speed (in theory).\n\nRam/memory:\n\nAnother thing to watch out for is not only the size (amount) of memory you have, but also the speed.  Say for example your motherboard can support pc2100, pc2700 and pc3200 ram....with 2100 being the slowest and 3200 being the fastest.  It may be cool to have 2 gigabytes of ram, but check the speed.  I would personally rather have 512 megs or 1 gig of faster memory, than twice that of slower memory.\n\nThink of ram like being the size of your desk.  The more you have, the larger the desk.  At the same time though, think of the different speeds as that of the desk ahving a smoother surface that lets you slide your projects around.  Say you have a large desk and are working on project A and want to take a break and work on Project B for awhile before switching to project A again, when you switch to each project and drag the projects to the side, do you want them to snag and strain while pulling/pushing them?\n\nGraphics card:\n\nThis may be an issue too.  While standard onboard video is fine for most folks, if you are going to play games or use memory intesive apps, you may want a better video card.  Also note that the amount of ram on a video card doesnt necessarily mean you will get better performance.  I can pair up an fx5200 with 256 megs ram vs a 6800 with half the memory, and the 6800 will slap the fx5200 like a redheaded stepchild.\n\nProcessor:\n\nThis is an option easily upgradeable for most, but often overlooked.  Say you are running an older pentium 3 system running around 650 mhz, you can probably score a much faster processor of the same slot (say 1 ghz, or 933 mhz) on ebay for under $20\n\nI would recommend a program called Everest which will tell you exactly what hardware you have, what socket/pins etc and go from there

Dell Inspiron or Toshiba lapotops are a good buy. But as someone rightly said; its a mix of your budget and computing needs.

Um not in the sense you're suggesting, but you CAN write and rewrite stuff on there. But I would just suggest a simple flash drive. For $5 after rebate you get firewall+1 GB flash drive.\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2563541&CatId=0

I recently got a good deal at Costco, laptop with a wireless router, 75 gig hard drive for around $800.  They usually have deals going on, plus you can return it no questions asked up to 6 months after purchase.

memory power?\nif you mean space then defrag your harddrive\nif you mean RAM then download Ram Idle LE\nother wise buy new componants

Your Internet cache is in the Temporary Internet Files folder on your hard disk. This is where Web pages and files (such as graphics) are stored as you view them. This speeds up the display of pages you frequently visit or have already seen, because it is faster to open them from your hard disk than from the Web. The downside of this is that it takes up space on your hard disk, and it can sometime cause problems in loading a page that you have visited many times before.

Go to Internet Options under Tools.  Click on Delete Cookies.  Then cick on Delete Files.  Then click on Clear History.  That will clear your cache.  It is a good idea to do that every so often.  The internet will run faster if these three areas aren't full.

id say 512 ram+ 1.7ghz(at least) that should make u work really fast

512 is OK for basic usage such as surfing the Internet, e-mail, and word processing programs such as microsucks word(yes i said microsucks), if you are planning on using a photo editing program such as adobe photo shop, or playing games, go with 1 gig

It depends on what you are looking for but I would get one with at least 512MB of memory. In that category there is the Acer Aspire with an AMD Sempron 3000+ processor, 512MB of memory, 60GB hard drive, a 15.4" WXGA display (1280 x 800 resolution), a CD-RW/DVD-Rom drive, you aren't going to find a DVD burner in this price range and of course, 802.11b/g wireless for $600 (after a $200 rebate).  You will have to enter your zip code to see if a Circuit City near you has it because it is only available in store.\n\nThere are several other choices but none of them have the value that the one I have listed does, if you can find it, it is a very good value and should suit your needs provided you don't intend to do any heavy gaming on it.\n\nNewegg has something very similar for $769 but if you can find it at Circuit City, I would highly recommend doing so, buy it online if you can't find it in store.\n\nI wouldn't even consider a Dell or Gateway. I like laptops from Acer, Toshiba and HP.

A cool little program i often use is crap cleaner. If will clean all temp files, and internet cache (optionally, internet explorers auto-complete).

faster internet connection ie. DSL\nmore RAM
815937
Simply add more ram.\n256 less than adequate.\n512 adequate\n1gig plus is ideal
