Hardware - November 2006

My parents blame me for sitting in front of the notebook for several hours.
They said that it can damage our reproductive system.
Is it true?

I was planning to host my own web server on my computer. But then I had this incident where I was downloading from the torrent network. And I turned my PC on for 4 days straight I think.... And then on the last day, it was at 90% of the whole downloading process when suddenly my computer hanged. When I restarted my PC... I cannot boot anymore. So I reformatted it and then it started out cleanly. But then... All of what I have downloaded(8.57GB!!!) was erased!!!! So, I was traughmatized of that incident so I asked this question. Now back to the question, up to how many days can the Hard Disk be turned on before shutting it off to make it rest?

I would like as fast a processor as possible for this price and as much hard drive space too. I would also like Windows XP Home edition on there.

When a technical or computish question is asked, and some answers say you have to do this, and some other answers say it doesn't matter if you don't, then what do the people think is a good way to arrive at confidence ie not screwing up the system?

Right now, running Skype, Live Messenger, Outlook 2003, Word 2007 Beta 2, & two IE 6 windows open (with Virusscan 8 & MS desktop search 3 and a few other things in the background) my system has 50Mb of physical memory free.

Every now and then my system slows to a crawl - just using office applications - it seems to hang for 10 to 20 s - it's really annoying. Recently the PC got unresponsive when downloading a lot of POP mail. It doesn't seem to happen on the more powerful computers I use, so I think an upgrade would help.

The machine's not used for gaming.

The existing hardware's a 866 PIII, with 2 x 256 PC133, ATI All-in-Wonder 128 AGP, Netgear GA302T pci ethernet. D-Link DU-520 pci card for USB 2, the boot disk is a Deskstar DTLA-307015, the main board is an ASUS CUSL2-C (which has an i815EP chipset), and it was an aftermarket PSU, though I don't know what rating.

I'd like to make use of as much of my existing system as possible, mostly to keep the price down.

Cheers
