I downloaded a thousand pack of fonts but each family of fonts is in its own zip folder. Do I have to unzip each of the thousand zip folders seperatley before i can put them into the fonts folder in controll panel? Hey and it gets even worse! within each zip folder is a .rar folder so if i have to do it manually it will entail unzipping a total of 1000 zip's and 1000 rar's which could take a lifetime. What do i do? and why the hell are the fonts compressed to this extent? HELP!

you know, usually, RAM is specified by xxxMHz, xxxMB, ECC or nonECC.

bits move from the FSB, through the RAM to the CPU, right?
now, what does the frequency of the RAM(the xxxMHz that they scream about in the ads) do during the transfer.
answer specifically for DDR2 SDRAMs.
case study:
if a PC is CPU 1.6GHz Duo Centrino tech, FSB 800MHz, RAM 1.0GB, 667MHz DDR2.
the ram is the slowest, right? now, what does this 667MHz do in relation to the transfer of bits btw the CPU and the motherboard. remember it is DDR2, so it works 2x on each FSB cycle
please explain simply...
thanks.

ok, We know that RAM usually is 333MHz or 450, 667 or even 800MHz, and CPU speeds are usually 1.8GHz or 3.0GHz.

but what is the usual motherboard main speed, the FSB speed range?

Also, is the FSB the North Bridge in the Accelerated Hub Architecture?

We have an older computer with Win98 operating system. The computer runs great and we just got wireless. We want to be able to go wireless with this older computer. We can only find routers that go back to win98 second edition SE. Does anyone know of a router that supports the original win98 and where to purchase one?
Thanks in advance,

I need to boot my computer, so i can reinstall my windows XP home disk.
But i dont know where to get boot disks from what boot disk ill need.
I've come accross http://www.bootdisk.com/ and also found some boot disks on ebay although i'd like a free basic bott disk that all it does it make me able to reinstall my OS.

Bootdisk.com looks ok, but i dont know which one to get.

I want one where i download it on this pc, burn it onto a CD, and then i can boot my old pc up.

Or is it more often done other ways? With floppy disk etc..

I can use a floppy or a CD, so i'd like some suggestions please

Thanks.

I'm a gamer, into hard core gaming. I would like a card that can run most games maxed, but low price. Which one would you recommend? Which one is faster when it comes to great gaming. I know the 7900 has 256-bit and the 8600 has dx10 capibilities. I play games like GTR2, Obilvion, CS , HL2: EP1, all need for speed games, San andreas, DiRT, etc. I've heard that the 8600 has a memory bandwidth of 22gb/s while the 7900 has a memory bandwidth of 44 gb/s.

Which one do you think is best for me?

i have tried looking around on amazon for female adapters and whatnot, but its too confusing for me.

pleaseee!! someone help! i need details and places to buy the components.
thanks.

My husband's desktop Dell 4600 PC needs the motherboard replaced in it, is this something we can do ourselves? I had it at a technicians place, but Dell is giving him the "run-a-round" about getting the part for him. So he don't want to fix it now. How can we fix this problem, short of buying a new computer. We really can't afford a new one right now. Would a different brand motherboard work? Can we do the work ourselves? How hard is it? Any and all information would be great appreciated. Thanks and God bless. ♥
