Ok, let's say I want to burn a dvd, on my single core processor takes me 45 mins, What may be the difference frame it takes when you have a dual core processor that runs at 2.66 GHz, 1066 front side bus and about a 4 MB L cache.
You know, I kind of want to upgrade my Dell 4700 series by swapping the motherboard, processor, RAM, and power supply. I want to keep all the remaining devices.
So is there anyone who can sort of predict the difference when it comes to burning with dual core?
Thank you guys.
Josh.

I know I want 400 to 500 gb, but i dont want to buy a hard drive that wont fit, or somehow is the wrong one, so maybe someone has answers for me. i use ebay a lot, but they dont say whether or not the hard drive is compatible with a dell XPS M140.

I just bought all the parts for a brand new computer, and the Processor I went with was the Core 2 Duo e6600. This sucker is a 2.4 Ghz and I am reading everywhere that people are clocking them up to 2.7-3 GHz with stock cooling. I don't care much for stock coolers so I bought a Rosewill Z series: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200026
The question is should I overclock? Im using this computer for my recording studio so I will be encoding audio with it and processing effects in real time and occasionally some video. Is the performance boost going to be worth it? My friend says Over clocking shortens your processor life. What would you do and why?

I have a Windows XP (my main one) and an ME and also an NT, all of them in good working order. Is it possible to hook them all up and make them into one big super hard drive? Like, using my XP as the main operating system, but harness the extra space from the other two for super speed and storage? Thanks in advance!

Okay, I have a USB Keyboard and Mouse but I think the driver has screwed up because when I load up windows I can't login because I can't use my USB mouse and keyboard. What things can I try? I have been using this Mouse and Keyboard for ages (about a year now). Anything else I can try?

20 Reasons Why I Need a Macbook Pro

1. Macs are more reliable. In the past 8 months my computer has had to have the Os re-installed 4 times, 3 for hard drive problems and 1 for a virus. Mac’s are very reliable machines according to consumer reports, and multiple reviews online such as C-net, Notebook reviews, Consumer reports, ECT. Mark the Mac book pro as a very good Computer, better than a PC.
2. Macs Run windows to! On a Macbook Pro I Can Run Windows as well as Mac OS X through Boot Camp. So in way I will get the best of both worlds I can run Mac OS X for internet and video editing and music editing, then I can run Windows Vista for Games, Office, and Windows Exclusive programs I might need.
3. I Know How to Use Macs. I can use a Mac much better than a PC. I was taught how to use them in elementary school. Right down to how to use all of the Mac office programs.
4. No Viruses! On Macs there are no viruses, which means that I can /surf the web with confidence my computer is safe.
5. If my Mac breaks no problem! With Apple care I can call Apple and my problem is fixed either by an apple expert helping me through it our by sending my computer to apple. Were as with a PC if it breaks Basically your screwed, first you have to find the problem, then call support then figure out how to fix it, then try do to do all of the things that you have no clue on how to do. No no no no with a Mac I call apple and since Macs are so simple with a description of my problem I have an answer.
6. A Mac Will Help Me in School. Last year I had 12 late or missing essays and research assignments because my computer was broken. On a Mac if it breaks I just send it to apple and in a few days I get a new computer for free. But it takes weeks to fix a PC.
7. They Last Forever!!!!!! On a Mac the Requirements to run software are very slim, the average life of a Mac is about 5 years compared to the 2 year life of a PC.
8. I can Use a Mac for Everything!!! Since Macs run Windows and Mac OS X there is no such thing as incompatible software.
9. You May Say at This Point “I am Convinced you need a Mac, But why a Macbook pro?” Well a Macbook pro is a notebook, which means I can use it anywhere. For example what if I have a huge report I have to do over the weekend but we are going to grandmas house, well I could take my Macbook pro and I could work on a report, and study for a test with a preloaded study guide.
10. I will get A’s on my report Card. With a Mac there are no viruses and they are notably reliable so there is no excuse of my computer had a virus, or the “it was broken” excuse. A Macbook pro will help me excel in school and in extra activities I do such as movie making and video games and there is guitar learning software.
11. Since I will be using the computer I should get the computer I want to use. What you guys have to remember is that the next computer I’m going to get will be my computer, so in that case I should get the computer that I want to use, not the one that you want me to use.
12. If I get the Macbook pro I will have enough space on my desk to do other things. Such as homework, or work. Right now my desk is too crowded with CRT monitors to do work; well a laptop would take care of that.
13. There is a brand new update. An update came out on June 5th which means that I will get the most advanced technology now.
14. A Macbook pro is the most powerful notebook and most powerful Mac other than the Mac pro.
15. I have two lives. If I came home from school one day and I found my computer broken my dell, I would have to wait for dad to fix it. But with a Mac I can run Windows and OS X so if OS X dies I can use windows because it uses a separate portion of the hard drive, and vise versa.
16. Apple is the only company that makes the software and the hardware. On a Mac the software is made to use all of the advantages of the hardware. Were as on a PC the software is made to be used on 100 companies computers
17. All the programs I use and want to use are on Mac. I use iTunes and that’s a program designed for Mac. I cant use iMovie, or Logic.
18. A new OS is about to be released. Leopard is about to be released, with many more features than tiger.
19. I can use .mac. .mac is a net based e-mail and web page publisher and internet storage. With many other features.
20. Macs just work. Macs are so simple a caveman can use them, they work so well, and they are so easy to use that you can use it to learn languages, or to learn how to play an instrument. They just work, were as with a PC needs to have lessons to learn how to use it.


With a Macbook pro I can just do everything and have everything work. Reasons 1-20 are the reasons I need a Macbook pro.

I use DSL with a wireless router. The other day, the router and the wireless router were both unplugged from the wall. I plugged them back in and the computer reconnected to the wireless signal just fine, but it won't connect to the Internet. I have determined the problem must be with the router that is hooked to the DSL phone line, and I have tried powering it down and a multitude of other things but I can't seem to get it to work. The tech tried to help me over the phone but it didn't work. Now he is giving me the runaround so I am wondering if anyone else has an idea for me to try.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a Linksys WRT54GL, and up until yesterday it was working perfectly fine. Now all of the sudden it will not work wirelessly, but if I plug a lan cable into the router I can get internet without a problem. The router is attached to a cable modem, and I am also able to connect a lan cable to my cable modem and get internet fine. For some reason when I try to connect wirelessly I do not get an ip. I am using DHCP, and I am also using a Mac with OS X. Any suggestions? I have tried a second router and it is having the exact same problem. I have also reset the router to it's defaul settings without any success. Can anyone help me out? I was thinking of flashing the router and updating the firmware, but I am not sure that would work or not. Help is appreciated.
