Hardware - September 2007

I'm planning on buying a new computer. I use a lot of high demand softwares, sometimes a few all at once.
I need a lot of memory, but I'd like to be able add more memory later on.
I'm looking at a computer with Intel Wiiv processor, Intel Core 2 Quad Processor E6600 and 3GB DDR2 memory.
How many memory slots would this computer have and what is the maximum memory it can take?

Thanks.

I am interested in purchasing an Acer 22" widescreen LCD monitor, however it says that the resolution is 1680x1050. My video card only goes up to 1600x1200. Will this monitor work ok for me?

I custom built computer with this specs:
Pentium 4 stock 3.2 OC'ed to 3.52
BFG 7600 GT stock oCed
P5ND2-SLI Motherboard
Viper 2 Case
520 w. Power Supply
3 PCI cards
1 gb DDR2 RAM
My case is about 36C idle, about 40C at full load. However, my CPU (according to my programs) is idle @ 22C, and about 32C full load. This seems strange to me. I have the 2 original case fans, one spot fan, and one 80mm fan just sitting blowing towards my PCI cards. I have two hard drives, and two optical drives. My computer is underneath my desk, and the outside temp is about 23C. Also, when I first overclocked my CPU from 3.2, it only raised the tempature about 7C idle., not much more full load. I am not too conserned about the noise my computer makes, and I don't want to spend too much money (under $150), and I don't have the experties to install a watercooling system. I would really like to either be reasured that my case tempature is alright, or have a cheep alternative to fix it. Thanks!

First off I am savy enough to do the job (I'll leave out facts why). I currenty have 4 yr old Compaq Presario 2.7Ghz intel celeron (no daul core) I have already put another 512MB memory chip in it. But it still lacks for what I desire. I am not a gamer but do do a lot of multi-tasking and DVD burner. So where do I go to get the right info on what motherboard/processor will plop right in and what else needs to be done with it

I found out I can let my ipod be my alarm with music to wake me, but I have to leave on my small accurian speakers which are therefore idle but plugged in and turned on overnight. So, I'm not sure if that uses any appreciable amount of electricity or just a few pennies worth? Anyone know?

I've had the computer for a few years now, but it's not that old. It's a regular monitor, not a flat screen.
