Hardware - December 2006

apart from luquid nitrogen,which im having a problem with purchasing,what is another way(except using a cpu fan ) of keeping a cpu cool so i can push the clock speed higher
i am using a old athlon 2200(1.2ghz) and i want to see how much i can push this,every time i go even 5% higher with just the fan and heatsink it will crash and i have to reset the cmos
i have even considered designing a custom build,attaching the mobo inside a mini fridge and using a mate of mine who is a welder ,build compartments for dvd-rom and hard drive
the only problems being how to stop parts freezing too much and keeping the fridge at a stable tempeture
i will try anything,i am known by my mates as a serious headcase when it comes to stuff like this,i wonder why thats why they look worried when i approach their p.c,s
any ideas guys?
cheers

I have a sony vaio notebook, model #PCG-V505B. I first changed the setting to boot from CD rom. The CD rom read the recovery start up disc OK. Then asked to insert disc1 now the CD rom won't read the disc at all. It kept asking to insert disc 1. So then I hit F2 to boot from hard disk. The message appears saying no operating system. Is there any solution to try to recover window XP operating system? Please help. Thanks.

i have two computers, both are Sony desktops. I am considering upgrading them but i would like to know how hard this is to do. The reason for upgrade is that I've used allmost all of the internal disk space on the hard drives. I do a lot of photography and it's eat up the storage. Is upgrading / adding a harddrive an easy task, or is it more complicated? Maybe on a scale of one to ten? Is this something that I can do myself? I'd like to keep the old harddrive and add a new one, not replace one for the other. Also, do I need to upgrade or add RAM when i add a harddrive? are there any conflicts/issues with one being newer or larger than the other? is there a website(s) that will tell me this sort of information? Or should I just go to a professional? The problem is I wanted to do this for Christmas present, and the only price quote I can get is almost $200 for installation and approx. $100 for the disk, and that was a little more than I wanted to go. Thank you.

Will it break or burn out anything if I do?

People at my workplace seem to do it and not mind much, but I think it may be causing serious damage to the motherboard or the graphics card.

The boot section of the original hard drive failed, but I was told that it would still work. I bought and installed a new hard drive, but I still want to be able to use the space on the old hard drive. How can I hook the two up together. My computer has the space for two hard drives too, how do you make them both work?

Business is bad and I cannot afford a new one. Now the resolution is moving from SVGA (good enough for me in the short term) to XGA. Are the old ones being thrown out by colleges, schools and businesses? (England)
