My motherboard and cpu was upgraded to AMD-64 3500+ on ECS Mobo running 800Mhz DDR2 dual processors. Is WinXP 64-bit ed necessary? Can't I run WinXP Pro (32-bit ed)? My old HDD FAT32 doesn't seem to boot on the new setup. I didn't think re-formatting to NTFS was necessary. Is my MBR corrupt? I don't know, it won't post and I get a BSOD. There's a message but it flickers out so fast I can't get the codes. Thanks ahead of time.

I've just done an experiment with a Canon 2200 using 'High Capacity' cartridges and managed to print 389 sides of A4 paper full of black text and some with small colour jpegs. The cost per sheet of paper printed both sides has cost me 19p in ink. 19p per A4 sheet! Is this ink WORTH that much?!!!

My sons' old computer has a rather interesting ability. It is an early Pentium, made by Dell. It is able to play sounds from the PC speaker through the soundcard (as well as have the PC speaker beeping as well).

Now, I'm an avid old-school gamer, and would love to be able to hear music from original The Bard's Tale series, or the 'full-auto' sound from Wasteland play through my headphones instead of being nearly inaudible. However, using it for my 80's gaming obsession is a bit out of the question, as I've run out of room in the house (and it now resides in the shed).

Removing the soundcard is also not an option, as it is physically part of the motherboard.

Is there some software that is capable of emulating this effect?

I do alot of internet, gaming, and word/excell apps. I've got an Averatec refurb right now & I hate it...something's seriously wrong inside...like it has a mind of its own--It will shut down or restart for no apparent reason, one moment it will say that such & so a file is corrupted or can't be found & the next it's fine....I'm NOT a techie, so PLEASE no techno babble (I'm sure you've all got big brains & don't need to prove it to me) I don't mind off-name brands as long as they're quality!

Pretty straight forward question. I have also used Ultra Dma before.

Also, is this a good deal for $74.99? (from Outpost)
Seagate 300GB ST3300631A-RK Parallel ATA Retail Hard Drive

If additional info is needed, let me know.

My Sony Vaio Laptop had crashed recently. When I tried to recover I could not as one the recover CDs got corrupt. I somehow recovered my C: by formatting using another Windows Installer.
I see that my harddrive which is 60GB is still 53GB which I think means that recovery kit is still installed. Is there anyway I can rip the recovery CDs again and rebuild the whole PC.

Assuming that they both have, say, 2.0Ghz speed.

Are there really two processors in intel core duo that would make it much faster and efficient?
