My PC takes PC2100 266 memory sticks and theres two slots on the motherboard for them, i have inserted a 1gb and a 512mb memory in it and the bios is telling me that they have been recognised, however it seems unstable and keeps shutting down, is this usual? should i have the same memory capacity in each slot?

I just bought it yesterday and replaced my old nifty GFFX5200. I tested it with Oblivion and it ran a lot better than FX5200 with over 22 FPS on low detail with some settings a bit higher.
With FEAR, it also performed a very satisfying 32 FPS on low setting with DX9.0. But when I played it with Doom 3, the average FPS was just only 15 FPS even on the lowest setting!!!
I've heard that Doom 3 can run with over 28 FPS with medium setting on GF6200.
Does anyone know why Doom 3 run with very poor FPS on my GF6200? Or if there is any article, it would be much appreciated.

Think of a X-BOX 360 game that has the greatest graphics you've seen. Consider the price. $400. Think of Flight Simulator X or a game with great graphics that has been on the X-BOX 360. Consider the price of the computer which can handle the settings equal to a X-BOX with great framerates. Expect the price of $1500 or even much higer. Is there something that Im not understanding? Is it because the PC has full internet access? Expanded hard drives? Office 2007? These are guesses, but why is this so?

Instead of getting rid of my old computer, I thought maybe I could use it as a external hard drive. Is this possible without taking the machines apart?

I got a centrino duo which is a intel dual core processor and i got F.E.A.R. just recently and the game runs ok not as fast as i would like. So i decided to check if the game was running on both cores because i know the rest of my games don't, and what i saw was only one core active and the other core basically doing nothing. I checked the cpu affinity but they were both set on for F.E.A.R.. I see all these cpu game test sites running these dual cores on fear and they have amazing results yet i have the game running on one core!!!! Please Help!!
