well i'm programing a software for windows CE 5.0 that receive data via USB 2.0 and show them as pixel on screen, that is cpu bound but the system is suppose to only run this program. i'm going to buy a SBC motherboard with this cpu: onboard ULV C-M 1GHz/0kB CPU
my question is if i use that SBC is it possible that having 0kb cpu cache affect the performance of my program?
and if so, is it really a big deal that make me to get a cpu with higher cache?
thanks ^^

My mom's planning to buy a desktop for us. She left the task of choosing the best high-end desktop to me. However, I'm still concern about the price and I don't want her ending up shocked about it.

Well, to be more specific...Which do you think is better here?

A. Gateway GM5266E Minitower
Intel Viiv Technology, Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400, 2.13GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, 16X DVD+/-RW Drive, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

or

B. HP Pavilion m7640n TV Minitower
AMD LIVE Technology, AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz Processor, 2GB RAM, 320GB Hard Drive, 16X DVD+/-RW Drive, Windows XP Media Center 2005


If you could give the good and the bad of an HP and Gateway and the AMD and the Intel, it would really help.

Thank you so much.

My friend told me about this thing she heard about on the radio, and I wanted to know if it was real or not. It's a dream scanner. You take a picture of whatever you want to dream about, and the machine scans it. Then you dream about whatever was on the picture. I don't know if it was real or not so that's why I'm asking this. So please answer. Thanks!!!

Hi

I am in need of a scanner. I know that it usually comes in a package of printer, copier, fax etc...
Is there a way to get just the scanner alone?
Just wondering!


Thanks..

I just got a new computer and I want to know if I can use my old computers Hard Drive also. I think my new one might be SATA and my old one is IDE. Also I need to know if my old Hard Drive is infected with a virus will it infect my new Hard Drive as well? The last time I used my old computer I completely wiped out my Hard Drive and did a scan which turned up nothing. I have had problems with my old computer though and I don't know if it was virus related or not. I don't need to do this right away, my new Hard Drive is 200GB so only when I fill that up will I need it. I'm pretty good with computers so if you just explain it I'm sure I could install it and get it working. Already transferred my CD-R Drive from my old computer over and installed it. I know that for Memory you have to make they are the same speed, so I probably won't even do my memory. I already have 1GB so it's fine now, but I really want to know about the Hard Drives. If anyone can help it would be great.
Thx

As far as I chkd, the majority opinion is to go for the Intel C2D due to better performance, power saving etc. But I have also heard different opnions on the processor selection when it comes to gaming. Is it true that the dual processor on AMD is better for gaming compared to Intel C2D? Also that most applications that are used will not make full use of the complete capabilities of the Intel C2D?? I want to use my laptop mainly for internet, spreadsheets, GAMING!! (NFS-Carbon etc), music, movies, Photoshop.

Thanks..

Well everytime I go on my computer it either re-boots or freezes about 5-10min later, 20mins at the most, and I believe the problem is that my memory (RAM) card has a small but clear stratch to it, and I think thats causing my computer to over heat and reboot, but before I go buy a new one I thought i better check before I do anything.
