How much will it improve my speed to upgrade to 4GB of RAM? I currently have 2GB DDR2 on an Athlon 64 x2 5600+ and I'm wondering how much of a difference it would make for every day use with Vista, video editing and gaming.

I say 4GB instead of 3GB because it's $65 for 1GB and just $95 for 2x1GB on crucial.com so if I upgrade I figure I might as well get the 2x1.

In other words how much will I notice the difference between 2GB of RAM to 4GB?

Great thanks in advance.

I got Athlon X2 4200. When I run my favourite game (Everquest II) one of the cores is used in 100%, while the others is used in 0%. Why is the other core not being used? Is it possible to "move some load" from one core to the other?

I have a HP PSC 2355 all-in-one printer for my desktop pc, and it wont print - it says it is clogged up and makes grinding and clunking noises when trying to print, but it never does print. I have had a look inside but cant see anything clogging it up. Any suggestions on how to unclog it would be great thanks.

I'm new to the puter world. My keyboard locked up in the middle of an email. I could navigate to other sites, but still couldn't write anything. I had to shut the puter down and start over. What should I have checked?

My concern is all the pseudo-sites and the possibility he will download more than he bargained for. I just want to know if someone has had an experience or knowledge about the site to help make a judgement before he uses it. I saw on their website they had statistics about Napster usage and I wondered if they use information from scanned computers for research purposes or even more, ya know?

Hi,

there's a company I know that needs a web site for internal use.

I already made the requirements (with the help of someone I know from inside the company) and determined that the web site would have 7 modules, each containing 3 php files on average.

Now, I'll have to do their mysql database (installation, design and optimisation) as well php code for the server side and javascript on the client side for dynamic pages.

I plan to do the look myself (html, css, photoshop edited pictures).

I also plan to provide them a specification and design document as well (for mutual understanding and to facilitate maintenance later on).

Now, I'm about to bring them a proposal (the requirement document and a pricetag for the project), but I when I do, I know that they'll probably compare whatever offer I make them against that of a couple of web development companies.

So my question is: in your estimation, how much would a web development company charge for this?

Today my computer sounded like the fan was hitting something so I decide to clean it. While I was cleaning in one of the holes I saw a little red tail waving around. Sometimes I can hear it moving around in my little tower thing. I can't unscrew and take it apart because the screws used have a round hole so I can't open with a screw driver. What should I do? The fan isn't killing it and I'm afraid if it dies in there it'll rot in my computer and carry some dieseases. Is there anything I can do?

A friend of mine and I usually chat on MSN, but I got upset a week ago and deleted him from my contacts list. I am still on HIS contacts list.

If I want to and add him back to my list now, will he know that I deleted him last week? I mean, will he have to 'approve' of me again?

I have an nvidia geforce 7600 GTS overclocked 256mb ram.
(I know, I know... kinda old)

Anyways, If I SLI it with another card, will it produce fantastic results, or should I just get a different graphics card?
