Hardware - May 2007

I know that most of you would say to get a pentium d, but my motherboard is an asrock p4i65gv which can support HTT but cant run pentium d. So should i get the pentium 4 which can already run, or should I get a new motherboard which can run pentium d and the pentium d cpu?

I'd like to hook a set of funs to my pc, I've bought 2 at Fry's Electronic but these are noisy. My pc is a Dell 4700 series and I'd also like to replace the cpu fun.
My question is: Are there any real quiet funs you can hook to any Pc to cool it off?
I;d be happy to hear any comment
Thank you.

I have just upgraded my laptop and now have two 512mb RAM sticks just sitting around. Are there companies that will buy your old RAM from you? Are there orginizations that will take RAM donations (schools, libraries, etc..)? It just seems like I should be doing something with it. If you have any ideas please let me know.

Through the help of other yahoo answerers, I have discovered that a 8800 gtx requires at least a 450 watt power supply, and that a 8800 gts 640mgb requires at least 400 watts. I cannot find how much power an 8800 gts 320mgb requires. I have a 375 watt power supply so I am really close. Does anyone know? thx

I currently have a HP SlimLine s7627c and it has a AM2 Windsor Athlon 64 X2 3800+. I purchased a Brisbane AM2 Athlon 64 X2 4800+ and I put it into the computer. Everything is put in correctly and this is the 2nd CPU I have tried. Here is a link to the HP specifications:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00784416&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3307449&lang=en


However, the problem is that the computer refuses to boot. It will go through the Windows loading screen as soon as the log in screen should come on, it turns off. I cannot run Live Windows XP either or Linux. I can run certain programs like recovery and partition magic. I have tried reinstalling Windows, and everything is fine until it restarts and needs to get into "Windows".

This question involves quite a lot of experience and expertise. Please do not post up amateur answers.

What's your experience with dual LCD screens? Does it drop the resolution? Will the toolbars span across the two screens? I noticed there will be a split between the two screens. Is it better to get one large screen instead? I use it for excel and word documents.

MOST of the time...all is well with my desktop PC.
HOWEVER...
Occasionally (since I added a Western Digital 250GB External Harddrive to my system), it changes the boot area in my BIOS settings, making the external drive the first (primary) drive listed in the BOOT/HARD DISK DRIVES/1ST DRIVE area of my BIOS settings.
Needless to say, I just make changes to my BIOS so that my internal hard drive is my primary drive, I exit and SAVE my BIOS settings, and I load up fine into Windows XP.
Most of the time, each subsequent start-up of the machine works just fine. But every now and then, the aforementioned BIOS settings wind up being changed again.
An interesting note is that the BOOT/HARD DISK DRIVES selection doesn't even APPEAR in BIOS when all is working well.
The external drive is one that "starts up automatically" when the PC is powered on.
Can anyone tell me why my BIOS settings are getting changed, even though I set them and SAVE the settings?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
