so i was thinking about upgradeing my system because i bought windows vista ultimate and when i play games like coutner strike source, i get like20 or 30 frames per second when i used to get like 100.

I currently have a amd athlon 64-FX 55, nvidia 7800GTX video card, 2 gig of memory and a good lanparty mother board.

I was thinking about upgrade my proccessor to like a amd x2 5500 but then i would have to get a new mother board as that is a am2 chipset and my board takes 939 :( and i was going to upgrade my memory but i got dual channel and i guess it wont work in my mother board because none of the stuff would power up (usb and what not) and it would take for ever to load after a black messed up looking screen.

The question is do i upgrade? it would cost me like 650 at least to upgrade my stuff, and i just dot know the anwser to.... will it actually help my computer with vista ultimate and also with my frames per second in games? or do i just need to wait for new drivers?

My computer slows down every 10-15 minutes while playing games. It seems to slow down when the memory temperature reaches 140F and then goes back to normal when it gets down to 120F, repeating the cycle. It seems to not slow down for whatever reason when running off the battery. How can I force my computer to use the same settings, that it automatically uses when running on battery, when it is plugged in on AC?

I guess 4GB wont work in XP 32 bit. Even tho it supports it.
So what I was thinking 2x512MB and 2x1GB would this work?

One of the hinges on my laptop's monitor broke/jammed. I went to open it this morning and the whole upper part of the frame is coming up with it. Can't get it to let go. How much is this going to cost to fix? Ugh..Or how do I fix it?

I tried putting a little WD-40 on it to loosen it, but it wont budge. I believe the spring has broken. And as I type this, the frame is peeled back. :/
