Hardware - March 2007

I got my computer in december and i applied for the vista upgrade. I check back on my order status daily and tells me to check back in 2-3 weeks. I've been doing that for awhile now. They said they were shipping early march but its mid march now. If anybody did get it, did they send you a shipping confirmation? Did the order status change?

Do I need to replace my power supply? Every 30 or 40 minutes my computer crashes for 10 seconds then starts working fine. I do not have to re-boot the computer. Could the power supply fan not turning on be the cause for the computer crashing.

i have an msi Neo-FSR VIA PT880 and I'm using an intel celeron d 2.53 that came off my old computer (a dell) I also also have 1.5G ram and a 80g hd and a dvd burner. I've read about some motherboards having compatability issues with this cpu. My computer is REALLY slow. It barely works at all. You can find my processor on this list for compatabilty for my mobo.( http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=636&kind=1 ) Is this a compatabilty issue? I got windows installed after waiting almost 4 hours. Even the simplest of tasks take up 100% of my cpu's usage. Can someone tell me what is going on?

I am going to get the 640MB version, the games I will play rae Oblivion, Guild wars and CS:S... probably some other games that will come out later on, such as assassin creed.

but I wanna know will 8800gts do a good job in those 3D games I have just mesntioned?
( I will max out the video settings and I will use a 17" LCD mon)
Will it be 100% smooth or still there will be lag?

I will use the 8800gts with 2GB of ram and a intel E6400

thx!!!

I currently have 2 WD external hard drives. When I am ripping a CD it does this just fine, but now I want to rip cd's onto my other external hard drive but it seems to only do this on the one external hard drive. I cut and paste ot get them on the other external that I want, and it does this well also. It seems to take a bit of time move the cd file,and I'd like to be able to just have them rip on the hard drive I wanted in the first place, saving time to rip more cd's, so how to do this?
