I was reading through my local computer store's flyer, and there was a little tidbit of information about how to build a good gaming computer and it said I should get 4GB of RAM and a quad-core processor. I know you need a lot of ram and a good processor, but quad core? 4GB? How true is this?

Whenever I run DVD movies or watch TV video feeds on my computer the system idle process increases dramatically. Would adding more Ram help? Can some adjustment be made to my computer to reduce the system idle process usage?

What was the first computer you had?

Mine was a sinclair zx81.

Ahh, the joys of programming your first game and watching a blob move across the screen..........
Arrrrrrrgh, the fustration of nearly finishing a program only for that damn ram pack to spit its dummy out. (the oldies out there will know what I'm talking about)

My husband dropped a remote on it and the screen is all messed up. Don't say we have to buy a new one, or does a place fix this sort of thing? The computer itself is fine just the monitor......

Does anybody have a clue to this power situation?

My home computer will no longer power up. I thought that it might be the power supply, but now that is not the case. When I built my home network, I built it with a NZXT Nemesis case powered by a 400w Orion power supply. I have a MSI K8N Neo4 Mobo (G52-M7125X2) with a AMD Athlon 64/FX 3200 CPU. The only thing that I've added recently was a new Microsoft Blue optical mouse.

This past wednesday, my system shut down completely. I suspected the power supply when I couldn't power it back up. Ordered a new one from Newegg (Coolermaster 430w) and it will come on for about a 1/4 second and then automatically shut down again. I've checked my back-up power supply, my home, my attachments, and everything else. But all is working fine. I am at a lost to what to do next. Other than completely rebuilding my home network and that is a possibility.

I've just bought a Vista laptop Sims 2 runs perfectly except the walls and floors do not load correctly. I have updated the drivers for my card but still no working. How can I go about improving the graphics as I've heard installing new graphics in Laptop's is near enough impossible? Thanks..
