Right, and with that switch the plug turns into compatible plug in European ones? Like I said, I'm the only expert in this thread right now.

UR, listen buddy, he has asked if the adapter comes as an addition to the cord, because it weights 1 gram more, so hell yes it matters, stop being such a jerk I'm providing important information to a person who is asking help, and all you can do is say the same thing I said over again and then confuse him and come up with that language that is offensive and racist.In da butt.

Yeah if you use 110 which I think you do, you need an adapter that transforms it into 220.. those cost like under 20 bucks. That's all you need and you're set. So you need those both for your desktop and for your laptop. If you want to have them turned on at the same time.
Experts ! hah, dont trust themWith or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

UR beat me to it, but look at the back of the computer and see if there is a little switch on the power supply, somewhere near where it plugs in. If not, you can also pick up a replacement power supply with a dual setting at multiple locations (for between $20-50 US), including
www.isellsurplus.com or at TigerDirect. Make sure it's the right type and has enough wattage - post your processor here and we'll help I'm sure, or ask a geek friend. Then switch it out, it's a little tedious but can be done. Use the adapter for your monitor, unless shipping makes it cheaper to obtain in France.
For inexpensive laptops, go to www.xpbargains.com or www.techbargains.com
Make absolutely sure you get one that has either a Nvidia or Radeon video chip, the Intel sets are utter drek and useless for games. Good luck.The worst form of insubordination is being right - Keith D., marine veteran. A dictator will starve to the last civilian - self-quoted

The ac adaptors that come with most laptops already convert either 220/50 or 110/60 to DC. All he needs is a plug converter to get the correct pins. If he has a switchable PS on his desktop all he needs is a french power cord.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Depends. Most new power supplies have a switch in the back for 110V and 220V. So OB should check that first.

Convertors to change the physical plug difference between US and Europe (or indeed, anywhere in the world) might even be included with the laptop as well. If not, these are easy enough to obtain separately in Europe.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.
