Computers & Internet - 23 November 2007

I was hoping someone could help me out, I need a desktop a good one, fast, and good looking lol ya.. this is what i want from specs
1) 2gb or more ram ( expandable to 8gb but can be less)
2) 160gb or more hard-drive, the more the better obviously as long as its under a $600
3) Intel core 2 duo with a clock speed of preferably 2ghz or higher, (i believe intel core 2 duo is the best processor right now not sure though if there is better please let me know)
4) Good graphic card that supports games like, counter strike, gunz, call of duty,strategy games,mmorpgs like maplestory, runescape, and all those, and can keep up with new games coming out for computer.
5) Thats about it, and if it comes with a monitor and all thats even better, monitor size would be 17" or higher, 17" is enough for me though not to crazy about that, but 19" would be perfect.
P.S: Yes my demands are kinda high, but id appreciate it if you know a computer that has these specs and you tell me the name, THANK YOU!!

which graphics card would be better on the macbook pro or would it not make much difference at all!
i have a choice to buy a macbook pro with a 256mb ati radeon x1600 or a nvidia geforce 8600m gt graphics card both machines would have 2gbs of ram, but the machine that comes with the ati graphics card will have 2.33 ghz processor and the nvidia one will come with 2.4, is there much difference? im thinking of just going for the cheaper ati model with 2.33 ghz, im only gonna be using it to do editing and some adobe after effects motion graphics work.
anyone clued up on this sort of thing to give me some advice?

I have read the guidelines but I still don't understand at what level can you become one of the two people to report a question and have it deleted, or does it not work this way.

I need to have Windows XP for some home based work I do - but currently have Vista, which came with my fairly new Dell. Should I
1 - dual boot Vista and Xp
2- buy a copy of XP and just run with that.
3- OR??
** The copy of Vista that I have is the proprietary version that comes with a new Dell computer, already installed but with the recovery disk.
I'd love your input. I'll definitely be taking the computer and software to someone who knows what they are doing but just tryng to figure it all out.

I currently have a G-Network Linksys Router/Modem. One desktop (upstairs, and the furthest from the router) has had trouble staying connected since we bought it. I've been considering getting an N-network router to boost the signal, but I can't find an N-Network router/modem combo like Linksys makes for G Networks. Does anyone know if one is available yet... and if so, where can I find one? Or will I have to buy a separate modem? Thanks in advance.

Actually, my friend did this. She's stuck now and cannot work! I find it funny.

Anyway, she tried "Alt. -- Ctrl. -- arrows" and it didn't work.

I just logged into my account with EBay and the whole f******g thing had changed!!!!

'My EBay' was gone and instead there was some f*****g nonsense which was an abomination.

There was an 'opt out' button so I pressed it and got the proper one back.

Why are they f*****g around with a winning formula?
