As much I know both Pentium D and Core 2 Duo are with dual-core and Pentium D is 3 ghz and 2*2 MB of cache and Core 2 Duo comes with 2.1 ghz and 2 MB of cache. So Pentium D is better but others tell me to go for Core 2 Duo as it is latest. Please guide me for the best. Tell meonly from the above two models of procesors.

and once it gets slow enough it sounds like it is vibrating. so what might be the cause of this? is it because i replaced the hard drive 6 months ago?

heres the problem my pc completely crashed so all i was left with was the black and white bios screen giving me options like start in safe mode start with safe mode plus command prompt and so on and so on..... i've tried all of these options and none of these ever got my pc on. (it's kind of like when you're rtying to start a car and it won't turn over.) what are my options here? do i have to completely reinstall my OS and lose all my files? or is there a way to restore? at the very least, is there a way to retrieve all my files before reinstalling my OS?

thanks!

I just purchased a 500W TT PS and I would like to buy a motherboard/processor. I want an AMD dual core ($$ is an issue), but I don't know what to buy or what to look for when I do. Ideally I would like to have 2 GB of memory and a 256 video card. What should I be looking for and how do I determine what cooling systems I'll need? Any help would be great.

My pc is in really poor shape and crashes at least 40-50 times a day and all errors seem to point to the memory. I have used the official registered version of registry mechanic to see if there were any registry issues and one error that arrived in the deep scan section of the scan displayed 1 fault - noted as a kernelfault

Also sometimes when my pc crashes i see a blue stop screen stating these errors sometimes BAD_POOL_HEADER, IRQ_LESS_EQUAL, PAGE_IN_NON_PAGED_FAULT

in the stop message i also see win32k.sys noted as a reason for the stop error (crash) sometimes

I fear i have mismatched memory on my pc as my pc is supposed to run 256MB RAM but only 226MB is listed under system properties.

I have run memtest and it crashes when running that

What i would like to know is are there any things that can be done to correct this mismatch in the memory without having to replace the memory inside the PC?

Please advise, these constant crashes have been going on for 5 months
