Whenever I run Counter Strike: Source, the game runs incredibly fast--everyone's moving around all fast. Soldier Front freezes at the loading screen.

I'm in the US looking to buy a computer. I can spend up to $800, but I'd prefer to go a bit cheaper. I'd like for it to be a desktop PC that will run The Sims 2 and all of its expansion packs very well. Here are the system requirements for The Sims 2:

Would this computer be a bad choice?

I'm doing research on notebook computers and I am considering an Apple MacBook. I am a college student so having an application where I can type papers and put pictures into a paper are a must. I grew up using Microsoft Office and use Word, Excel, and Powerpoint very extensively. I would be open to buy one if Apple has a program or suite similar to that. Can you print papers with any printer or must it be a Apple certified one or something? Is it easy to transfer files from a PC to a Mac via home network or jump drive? I'm not a big fan of Quicktime, is there another Media Player I can install? I have read comments about people complaining that 512MB of ram is not enough. Best Buy has one on its website with an Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz and one gig of ram, is that good for this notebook? Obviously I have many questions. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to post pros and cons about the MacBook as well . Thanks and enjoy your day :)

I am wanting to buy an adapter for my vehicle, the kind that will allow me to use my computer in my vehicle instead of using the battery. I have a 19" Sony Vaio laptop (very big and powerful) so I am wondering what to look for? Will I need a particular voltage, or wattage, or whatever? Obviously I am not up on this sort of thing, so all help is appreciated! I just don't want to ruin my computer, or overload the outlet port, or wharever... thank you!!

1) Which is the best recordable CD?

2) What is the maximum storage capacity of a recordable CD?

3) If the software requires more space than the maximum capacity of a recordable CD, how to write it on the CD. I mean to ask, can we write the excess data on another CD i.e remaining part on another CD?

4) Which brand CD has the maximum storage capacity?

I had a HP printer which packed up ( 2nd in a year) and because I needed one in a hurry I nipped to the Asda and bought a Lexmark for less than £20 including cartridge ,which is £4 less than just a replacement cartridge for the HP costs! The Lexmark actually prints faster and better than the HP but it will not print at all unless I turn the Virus protection ( Norton) off. Any ideas why?

I have 2 SATA hard drives. I had the first one for about a year then added the second. Whats strange is that the second drive is not being seen by BIOS. The only way I could get windows to see it was to install windows onto the 2nd drive.
I have a ASUS M2N32 sli-deluxe MOBO which has 6 sata ports labelled 1 - 6. The first drive is connected to port 1. I tried connecting the 2nd drive to ports 2 and 3 and it is still not recognised by BIOS. I want to use both drives independantly for different things (one drive for programs, one for movies and music) Does this mean I dont need to bother with RAID? I also have an unknown device in my device manager under Other devices, PCI device. Are these related? Could this be what has been slowing my computer?

A couple friends of mine recently bought computers from Best Buy, for an additional cost, geek squad offers to optimize windows vista for you. What does geek squad do? Is it worth it? Can a person with good to excellent computer knowledge do it? thanks.
