Hardware - December 2006

I am looking at the new Intel Core 2 Duo, but Intel says the XEON is a server processor instead. Also, my eyes couldn't help staring at the AMD dual-core Opteron. Can I really use the Core 2 Duo as a server processor? Why does Intel tell me that its a "desktop" processor?
I'm looking to have two processors by the way.

My husband broke the one that came with my computer. I was curious if I will need to install software when I buy a replacement, because as of now I cannot install anything from a cd-rom. Do you just hook up the new drive and it auto-installs the drivers or what? Thanks for responding. :)

We also had a power cut that morning and then I ended up with 'can't read disk' problems. They seem to have gone today. Wonder if Line Rider or power cut more likely to have caused the problem.

My computer keeps freezing. I press ctrl, alt + del but it doesn't respond so I have to just turn off the power. A while ago I opened an e-mail which had a Trojan Horse. Could this be the reason for it freezing? If not, what could be causing it, and what damage does a Trojan Horse do to a computer?

Besides difference in power supply (power cord, different voltage), is there any other technical difference between TFT monitors sold in the US and those sold in Europe or Asia?

Could they be sold interchangeably in each geographic location?

Depending on what's showing on my screen it gets more or less intense, sort of like a static noise. It's driving me nuts.
