The motherboard can handle up to 4gb 800mhz, or 8gb of 667mhz ram. Which would be a better choice for building my gaming system, and why?

So I had a spare computer downstairs with no hard drive. When I take the HD out of another computer the it freezes when it says "computer did not start corretly" or whatever. if I try to start normally it just freezes. if I try safe mode it freezes at "agpcpq.sys". Now when I take the same HD and put it back in it original computer it loads up fine. its something with the spare computer. Any suggestions??

It's a fairly old lap top, (Compaq Armada E500). Has been working fine till now, though. I thought it might be the (left) button, but the sensor pad doesn't work for "double tapping" either. I changed my settings to "left" b/c the left button still responds... Oh, I recently started using a wireless mouse with it if that has anything to do with it....??? PLEASE HELP! The wireless mouse is fine for home, but it wont fit on those little fold out desks at college!!

I recently started getting the following error when trying to run a game on my laptop: DirectX has reported you do not have enough Virtual Memory to run this game. The game used to run fine. I have 2 GB of RAM and this is a Dell 600 (2GHz). I don't have much else running either. I'm assuming I can change a setting somewhere to set aside more virtual memory. Any ideas?

I used CPUz to check my core speed, and found out that in normal condition (without loading anything), it runs with 1/2 speed. Today, after months i use CPUz to check again, the core speed increases to full speed in the same condition (without loading). I wonder what happened and how could it affect my computer. I don't think my comp got virus, but. . . i don't know!! please help me out.

The LCD screen is broken because it was dropped and it will not work with an external screen. I think the video card might be bad.
The laptop is a Toshiba M105-S3041 Laptop Intel Core Solo 1.86GHz. If you know anything else about this computer then let me know. I can get a really good deal on this computer if I buy it with the broken screen and fix it myself. Thanks!

Hi. I'm doing some research on buying a power supply for my new computer. My problem is, is that I want a power supply with a rear vent and a vent on the bottom too. But as I look, I see that there are only vents on the back and on the top. These PSU's with the vent on the top, can I always flip them upside down when installing them in my case so they become bottom vents?
