I went to system requirements lab and test my computer to see if I could play a certain game... I need 2 GHz to play and I only have 1.6, however it said that mine performs at 2.8 GHz. How is that possible, and what does that mean? I don't think I have a "dual core" but then again I really don't know to much about computers. lol. If it "performs" at 2.8, does that mean that it can support the game??

I have Anti-Virus software and Anti-Spyware software on my pc, i even use pop-up blockers. I have run numerous checks with both and even though it says my pc is fine i still get the pop-ups.
These are the ones that start with one of the small grey windows alert boxes saying that my computer may be at risk and once i click cancel, it opens a webpage that says my computer is at risk and i should download the "latest edition" of some sort of anti-virus and stuff. All things i do not need.
It is getting very annoying, and i just want it to stop.........
PLEASE HELP...........

I have a lot of albums of music. Most of them are in MP3 format, but there are some that are in OGG. It would be very difficult to go through and find the ogg files and then convert them. Is there a program that can find all of the ogg files and convert that existing file to MP3, (replace it, or otherwise I would still have to go and delete the ogg file.) I am trying to avoid looking for the ogg files. Hopefully there is a program that can do it all for me.
Thanks

During the install I get a blue screen error message, saying check hard drives or newly install hardware. I checked everything. I get the error message right after all the basic drivers are installed (Before disclaimer screen) I have changed out the RAM, power supply, ATA serial cables and I have even installed an IDE HD instead of the Serial HD. I still get the error message.

Equipment info: Intel DG33TL motherboard with a 2.4GHz Quad-Core. 160 Sata HD from Western Digital.

one specific part of p.c,s has allways confused me and thats all the ampage and wattage that appears in the specification sheets for power supplys,for example a 350watt psu will have a chart like this
+12V +5V +3.3V +5VSB -12V -5V
15A 16A 15A 2A 0.5A 0.5A ...and a 550watt p.s.u will look ike this
+3.3V +5V +12V -5V -12V +5VSB
28A 35A 30A 0.5A 0.8A 2.5A
my question is,as the ampage on the 550watt psu is higher than the 350watt psu,well what bearing will that have on a p.c,such as supplying power to a graphics card
i ask this as its using a 350watt p.s.u at the moment and as the card requires a 400watt i think its not getting the power it should,thus affecting its performance
will the new 550watt psu improve the stability of the graphics card due to the better power supply
any ideas guys?.............cheers!

im acually asking 2 things,

1) why does belarc advisor say its only 1.8Ghz (belarc is reliable for everything else) what the hell??

2) what is the most memory my CPU will support. i have an ASUS P4S8X-MX motherboard (socket 478) with 2 memory slots and it will support up to 4GB RAM. but will my CPU support that much?

Ones a Windows ME and the other an XP. They both work good still, just taking up too much space around my desk now, especially this 19" CRT. I want them out but not to just give/throw them away cause i wouldn't mind having them get me the money i need to get some good speakers.
Would pawn shops take them? Or anywhere else.. And ya im gonna clean off my hard drives of course before i give them up, the XP hdd is brand new and i never used it so its clean anyway

Why can't I log into a site or launch a web tuner program and watch broadcast TV? Is it bandwidth? Tussles over rights? It could be exactly like regular TV, commercials and all. Will this ever happen?
