Hi

Most people are happy with larger monitor sizes. Not me! At work, when I use a larger screen I start getting back muscle pain. I have no idea what the cause is. I'm not sure about the inch size. I'm used to using a 16 inch (I think) and these other ones are 19? or 20? inch.

Has anyone else had back pain with larger screens?
What can I do to get used to the screen and avoid back pain?

I'm upgrading my computer soon, probably this weekend. I have a Celeron D processor, heat sink, CD drives, floppy drive, hard drive and 2G memory already.

I'm getting the following items:

Board:

Card:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Power:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Case:

Do I need anything else/ will this all work together fine?

P.S: Does the board have integrated sound or do I need toget a sound car, too (first custom computer, here, so I have no idea)?

I just purchased a 320 GB Seagate hard drive which connects via USB to my new computer, I was able to transfer all the files I needed from my old computer onto the Seagate. Can I simply leave it plugged in to the power outlet and computer via USB 24/7 or is it better to only plug it in when needed??

I am choosing between a macbook pro that has 2.2 and 2.4 gHz. Both computers have an intel Core 2 duo processor but the computer with 2.2 has 128 SDRAM and the 2.4 has 256 SDRAM. Is that a big difference?

Hi

Just wondering if someone can explain this to me I have a e6420 core 2 duo at 2.13 GHz each, this has a 1066 FSB but when I look at the description in Vista system properties is says

6420 @ 2.13GHz 800MHz <---------- im assuming the 800 MHz is the FSB speed so whats wrong?

I have an ABIT AB9 pro motherboad
