I have built many customs systems. I just finished building a Home theater PC using a 775 socket motherboard.

I have a Dell 4700 with...
1.5 Gb of DDR2 400MHz ram
250 GB SATA Hard Drive
16x Dual Layer Burner
PCI-e Nvidia 6600 with 128 MB Ram
Pentium 4 520 (2.8 HT 800 FSB)
BTX 500 Watt PSU

Dell lists the compatible CPUs and the highes two they have listed are the 560 (3.6 HT 800 FSB) & 570 (3.8 HT 800 FSB). My CPU socket is a LGA 775.

It would be more cost efficent to replace the board and CPU, but I would rather keep the system as it is now.

I have custom built AMD machine with a Machspeed board, 1.5GB DDR (OC to 433 DDR), AMD 64 3700+ 2.2 (overclocked to 2.6 4300), 256 MB ATI PCI-e card and both these systems are pretty equivalent in FPS for games but the Intel blows it out when I am video editing.

I think a 3.8 would be a great upgrade by the end of the year to help keep my system current, plus it is 64 bit compliant.

hello people! i just want to ask because im wondering why intel has a pentium, a celeron, centrino, a core, a core 2, viiv, etc.? why do they have to make "families" of processors? does each have a specialty or something? if yes, can you give some descriptions on where each family is gud at? like "centrino is great for laptops..",etc.? thanks!

My printer is on its deathbed and I'm in the market for a good all-in-one printer (printer/copier/scanner). I am looking for something that prints photo-quality. Speed is not a priority nor are a lot of fancy gimmicks. Just want something that won't bankrupt me when it comes time to replenish the inks.

I've got a 3year old Toshiba Satellite that has been virtually trouble free up til now.

The screen started flickering off and it seemed that if I moved the hinge, it would come back to life. This went on for a few days. I was about to pull it apart and check for loose connections until....

The other night the problem got worse and now during the reboot - just before the windows splash screen - the screen is filled with zeros.

When windows does come up, the resolution is screwy and by the time I can select a user and log in the monitor has gone blank and will not come back. If I boot in safemode, the monitor does not flicker, and everything seems to work ok. When itgets to the safemode boot menu, the strange zeros come back again but do not cover the screen. Instead, they and other odd characters appear in the menu options. One was: "Lqst Kn0wN Good c0nfiguration" or something like that... I know there was a q where the a should have been & 0's werein weird places too.

I bought a new laptop, TOSHIBA satellite A100. Whenever I boot, I always have to press and hold the F12 key. What should I do so that when I boot I won't have to press and hold the F12 key again? Thanks for the help.
