Learning guitar

Hey,

I am planning to learn guitar (I have zero experience in musical instruments). After much researching on the net, I am down with two choices: Bentley or PlayByEar.

I was wondering if anyone could give any suggestion as of which one is better? I heard playbyear teaches music with a different approach or something.

Thank you for the feebacks. I'd appreciate it a lot!

Laptop Graphic Card

I had a laptop, Toshiba Satelitte M200 series.

The laptop came with Intel integrated VGA card.
My question is: Is it possible for me to add in a dedicated graphic card?

If so, what is the range of the price for the graphic card?

Thank you

I am planning to install dual OS on my new laptop, mainly to learn Linux OS.

I am facing a problem when installing it that is I dont have a recovery disk. I scared later by partitioning, I will erase the recovery cd image in my partition.

Is there any other way i can do dual OS without affecting it?

I am on Vista basic and is planning to install Ubuntu 7.10

Thank you.

Which laptop should I buy?

I am planning to buy a new laptop.
Most likely, I will be using the laptops oversea so i have already threw out Acer.
As for Dell, many of my friends bought DELL laptops and were having problems with them.

Now i am considering only 2 brands, either Toshiba or Asus.
The laptop mainly will be for homeworks use but will do games sometimes as well.
I need a laptop that has high endurance and high performance.

My budget is around 3.5k-4k. So, which laptop should i buy?

Is it true that Toshiba is more durable than Asus?

P/S: pardon my english, was too tired to go over it again...
