It's a gateway laptop and my total size is 67.6 GB, and I have 36.3 GB left. I can't even run one program without my computer freezing up. What can I do to make it run faster and not freeze up? My biggest problem is with I-Tunes. It won't run at all.... Please help....

I’m getting ready to enroll in the Art institute online. I’ll be working with programs like 3ds max, Maya, After effects, and Premiere. I want to spend around $2000 to $3000 for a good computer. I’ve prices some quad core Dells and after tricking them out with 2 monitors and 4 gigs of ram and some other stuff it’s over $4,000 I checked out some Alienware computers with similar specs and they are about $300 cheaper. Spending around $4000 for a computer seems to be too much. I know a quad core extreme must be the fastest processors they are so expensive. So my question really is what is better a regular quad core or a duo core extreme.

if you have a graphic card like the geforce 7600gt that requires a power supply,and use a psu thats just on the borderline(400watt),will this throw up errors?
i say this as i have this card and psu,and a few programs throw up errors(only minor ones)
however ive seen a 550watt psu which im going to purchase,will these errors stop
and will i see a increase in performance,with the added power
ive just ran 3dmark 05 and got 6654 points,which proves the card can handle 3d games ect
what p.s.u would you recommend for a 7600gt(agp),as i said im currently using a 400watt p.s.u
cheers

Any help would be very, very much appreciated.
My laptop is a Dell Latitude C400 (a bit on the old side now) And for a long time the fan had been getting louder and louder, although I hadn't noticed because it was quite gradual. Well it was rattling a while ago and then just plain stopped. It's out of warranty,etc so I opened her up and unplugged the biggest hair/dust/crap ball ever! It was amazing that it hadn't stopped a long time ago, poor thing!

So I start her up again and the fan doesn't start. Ever. I looked around for weeks for stuff online and finally heard about this program which can force the fan to go faster or slower or stop, etc. I get the right version for my latitude and wey hey the fan starts spinning (beautifully silent I might add). But after about a minute it stopped again.I decided maybe the problem is the computer communicating with the fan so I reformatted the entire thing, did all the checks afterwards and it still isn't working. heat test showed it at 0rpm.

My computer runs Windows XP SP2. I have a IBM 60G hard drive as primary drive (IDE0) and just bought a Seagate ST3750640A drive. My intention is to use the new Seagate drive as the primary drive and discard the old IBM drive. I used the DiscWizard program to transfer the files and clicked on the "Use the new drive as boot drive and discard the old drive" option. After the reboot, my computer recognized both drives with their correct settings (IBM as primary and Seagate as slave and with both as having the correct sizes of 60 GB and 750GB). The BIOS recognized both drives at IDE0 and IDE1 as "hard drive".
I then remove the old IBM drive and change the Seagate jumper to the master setting and connect the first (black) IDE connector that used to be connected to the IBM drive to the Seagate drive as this connector is used for the master drive. I also change the BIOS setting to auto detect on the IDE0 and off on the IDE1 positions. The BIOS now says both drives as "unknown devices".

I recently bought this motherboard from a friend who said it was a great one and said that it was compatible with the Core 2 Duo processor (which is what I want for my new desktop). Well I was browsing through the internet and everywhere I went to, all of the sites said that this motherboard was only compatible with the Pentium D, the Pentium 4, and the Celeron D processors. I am a pretty hard-core gamer and wanted the Core 2 Duo because I heard that it was much better than the rest. And now I was wondering, even if this motherboard says it's not compatible with it, and it uses the LGA775 socket like the core 2 duo, would it do much to my motherboard if i put a Core 2 Duo in here anyways?
