My Sony VAIO is getting close to 5 years old, and Photoshop chugs, and most games won't play on it anymore (sigh).
Any suggestions for a new, good desktop PC for handling games as well as the memory-extensive Photoshop stuff I work with?

I'd prefer not to build it myself (I know this is cheaper, but I'd rather just buy the PC new.) Also desktop, not a laptop.

I don't need a complete package either, just a new PC box.

Ideas?

How difficult is it to connect to iTunes? I have so many albums in my iTunes, and many of them, I don't listen to that often, so why should they be slowing down my computer. But how hard is it to connect the drive to iTunes? In other words, how do you find things that are in your drive? Obviously, I'm not computer whizz. (I've got a Mac, by the way). Also, which size would you suggest? 160? 250?

Okay, I will be doing a research project travelling the United States videotaping people for a documentary (if you know the best camcorder to get that's small and works great and compatible w/ a laptop/notebook i'd like to hear about it).

I need a laptop/computer that has wireless internet, firewall, an ethernet connection, cd/dvd burner (i want the dvd burner, not just the dvd player), I also need some kind of media software and it needs to have good sound and can do good video editing.

Any suggestions? What price range will I be looking at?

Thanks!!!!!!

Just built a "new" pc (spec below) from some brand new components and some old ones. When i power up the unit all the fans and lights come on as they should but then it just dies and the only way i can get the pc to power up again is to pull the kettle lead from the back and plug it back in again.
SPEC
AMD Athlon XP 3000 (old)
Aspire ATX-AS420w PSU (new)
ASRock microAtx Motherboard K7541 (new)
2x 512Mb PC3200 DDR Ram (1 old , 1 new)
LG 512 DVD Rw
Western Digital 80 Gb Hdd

I also have an Ati Sapphire Graphics card and a creative live 5.1 sound card, but havn't installed these yet as the new motherboard has onboard sound and graphics.

Please help this is really starting to pee me off !!

using Win XP .i have a peculiar problem. some times when the PC starts,a blue screen flashes for

a second and the PC sudenly crashes(immediately after starting).

some times while working it crashes. i was told tht it could be the problem with the RAM.i

problem still persists.if any one has come across such problem pls suggest a solution.

one more trouble im facing is whenever i go to DOS,the monitor makes a terrible sound.but when

im in windows there is no such sound.

My old computer is now close to obsolete, and can no longer run demanding applications. I am planning to build a computer with custom parts. I have a $4000 budget to work with, and these are the components I am currently buying. PROCESSOR: Intel Core Duo clocking at 3.6 GhZ - RAM Mem: 2 GB - Video RAM: 512 MB nVidia 7900 GTX. I run enterprise level applications working with intense graphics and programs such as FLASH MX Director, FLASH 8, Photoshop CS2, and many others, is this a good configuration? Is there anything else I should buy or change? right now, I am using about $1900 of my budget.
