I was thinking if I could change these parts maybe I could have a quieter pc.

E.G. Powersupply I think has a fan and maybe there are some quieter power supplies I can buy that wont be as loud.

About 12 days ago my computer messed up and it kept saying that it has limited or no connectivity. This was after i installed McAfee antivirus so I thought uninstalling the antivirus would work but it didn't. So after that i took it to best buy and they said it'll cost me 140 dollars so i gave it to em and thought they would fix it. They said it takes 7-10 days and im really bored at home without my computer for 12 days. What should i do? Call best buy and yell at them for taking so long? Just need some thoughts of other people please.

I have a Compaq Presario SR1030NX. It if a few years old. I need a new power supply (mine is only 250W) to run a video card that required 300W+. The video card is a Nvidia GeForce N6600 its AGP. So what I really want to know is what to look for in a power supply, Will anything fit in my case? are all power supplies the same shape/size? after talking with compaq they say I have a Micro ATX mid-size tower. Will any ATX power supply fit?

Also Compaq says I shouldnt get anything over 350W becuase it could send to much power to something and damage something. I dont know if that is a lie to make me buy something, I dont see why I cant get 400W+

I was thinking of getting

Hello. I am on a hunt for another computer potentially (as my old one is in repair presently). Between the Intel Pentium4 and the Sempron processor 3600... which is MORE powerful? I'm thinking the Pentium 4 is, but I don't know. Also, would anyone know where to get a decent NEW computer for about $300 online???

I have been searching for sometime now for the best gaming computer on the market. I have looked at Compaq, HP, Gateway, Dell, and Alienware. I felt Alienware was probably the most expenisve, and Gateway had the best deal, but i'm not sure which one would be a better gaming computer. Anybody have any idea with these companies or can suggest the best place to get this style computer. Or is there anywhere else there are good, strong gaming computers? I want the best graphics and most memory, plus best processor. Also if you could tell me what the current best processors and video cards on the market are now I would be grateful. It's been ages sinced I computer shopped and i'm way out of the loop now (you know how fast the business changes). Thanks for all the help for anyone who answers!! One final note, I want a desktop, not a notebook computer.

So what would be the best card (make $250 and under) that will be able to run future games like Bioshock or Gears of war at around meduim or low settings? Also would I have to upgrade my memory. I have a gig now.

It's not true. At least not entirely. Not 'all' PC's are crud. Vista or Windows does not come up with BSOD's all the time, have viruses popping up ever 10 mintues, runs slowly all the time, or none of that. It's a big lie.

If you run a cheap PC (under $850, from Dell or HP), no anti-virus program (or one download from the internet), and have cheap internet connection, then yes, you are living in the PC hell.

But if you buy a high-end/mid-range PC (Sony Vaio, LG, Samsung, some HP, some Dell), have a strong anti-virus program (Windows Live OneCare, Norton 360), and have high-speed internet connection (hopefully there's a router), then you're not going to have any problems.

Vista is not always to blame on itself. Get a high-end PC and you'll have no performance problems. Some things aren't compatible because that company doesn't want it too, not MS.

Over all, it's a big lie. Get a high-end system, good anti-virus, fast connection and you're set.

So what do you think?
