Hardware - December 2006

Is the new MacBook (not Pro) w/ Core 2 Duo and OS X Tiger a true 64-bit system? The CPU is, and Tiger supposedly supports 64-bit, but I guess the real question should be, does a CPU and OS make 64-bit?

I have a Compaq desktop computer that has an AMD Athlon 1.2 ghz processor. It is about a 2000 model. I know it's pre HP. I want to know if I can upgrade it to an Athlon 64. How would I know what pin I need? Can I pull the processor out without messing anything up to find what pin it is? Also I have 3 memory slots. If I installed 3 1 gig cards would this be a waste? I am kinda new to this but it seems pretty easy to do aside from the technical aspects. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Everything I try to open comes in slowly, wether it be Internet, or Word Perfect documents. I do not believe my Hard Drive needs to be erased, as I still have 74% free space left. Is there anything that can be done, without erasing the Hard Drive?

I've heard the Macbooks get pretty hot. So the fan probably comes on quite a bit. Are the fans loud or fairly quiet.

I'm thinking about getting a Macbook. My current laptop's fan is very loud and gets pretty annoying. One thing I don't want to do is buy a new laptop and have that same problem. So, I'm hoping Macbooks aren't like that.

Any input from Macbook owners is appreciated. Thanks.

I finally figured out how to do sharing between my windows PC and my MAC laptop. But now when I try to print something from my laptop i get the error message: "Unable to connect to SAMBA host will retry in 60 seconds....Error Connection failed with error." I am pretty certain i have everything configured properly so how do i fix this problem?

I am interested in building my own computer. I am familiar with most of the terminology and have experience installing a lot of different things into a computer. But what I don't really know much about is motherboards. What makes a motherboard good. What should I take into consideration before getting one? What is all this socket stuff?
