Hardware - June 2007

My CPU will be : AMD ATHLON 64 X2 3800+ 4.0 GHZ 1MB CACHE AM2 DUAL CORE and i need a reasonable price motherboard which will support this Athlon 64 X2 socket 939 CPU. I've got all my RAM,case,HDD,Graphics card etc but need a decent but good value mobo.

I like the look of :ECS KV2 Lite Socket 939 AGP LAN ATX Motherboard , for price although after looking at some feedback some customers criticise it saying alot of the time they dont work and they'd go with Abit of Asus in the future.

Any help would be appreciated. And also any decent good value site would be great also. (UK)

I want to buy an apple laptop, probably a G4, but I need to know a few things first. I am looking on ebay and some of the descriptions say memory will be wiped clean. Does this mean that it won't come with some of the programs like GarageBand and iMovie? Also, if I'm going on a trip how can I access the internet with a wireless laptop? How can I access the internet wirelessly period with this notebook? Please share any other information you have about these laptops too. Thanks in advance for any help!!

Or perhaps a Yamaha wavetable synth that I can use with my Sound Blaster card? I don't know that much about wavetable synths, so excuse me if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about.

Here's the scenario: My computer got infected with some backdoor that infected the winlogon.exe file. Obviously I can't delete that. Online several sites tell me to stop the process "kernel32u.dll" or .exe but neither of those exist.

So I've decided that I need to save my files and wipe the hard drive. I need a program that will do that and I need a step by step as to how to go about it. I'd like something that is going to obliterate the HD by overwriting like 20 times.

My next problem is how then to get Windows back on the system. What would I need to do to get windows back on? Will I have to buy windows? I have the service pack 2 upgrade CDs but I don't think that will help me.

I look forward to all the help you can provide me.

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a new system soon. I haven't upgraded my computer since 2002. I'm still using an XP 1800+ and a GF4.

I'm thinking about getting a E6600-based system right now, or wait yet another month for the Q6600 to drop in price, though it would still be more expensive than the E6600 now. I also haven't really played any games for a few years.

If you were me would you get a system now or wait?

I'm upgrading my MB and CPU and didn't realize until after I purchased them (for quite a penny), that I didn't remember reading anything about them being compatible with Windows XP Home Edition SP2. I upgraded from P4 3.0 ghz to a Core 2 Quad 2.40 ghz and from a Intel 945G Media Series to a XFX Nvidia 680i SLI. I'm really weary of buying Windows Vista yet due to the immense number driver issues cropping up, and would perfer to wait until after the first Service Pack is realeased. So can anyone please answer me...Is Windows XP Home SP2 compatible with Quad-Core CPUs? I can't seem to find the answer anywhere!
Any help is appreciated and if possible please leave a link to the information you found so I can read it over also.
Thanks for any help,
Ryanaven
