It coincidentally hapepened when i started up the program and when i exited the program. Does this have soemthing to do with the game of pool or is it something a little more serious?

Currently I have a Dell Dimension 3100. It has a Pentium 4 3.2ghz CPU with HT technology. According to specs, the motherboard is a "Intel 915GV chipset". It has no AGP or PCIe slot. Had 512MB DDR2 PC-4200 Ram to start, I upgraded with a 1gig stick currently 1.2g now.
I was lookin into some Core 2 Duo chips for gaming and video conversion, will any fit on this motherboard?

Anyone have a site with a list?

So last week my 40 gig hard drive on my other computer crashed.
I have ever so carefully removed it and replaced it with a new 160gig hard drive. In addition I have removed my old 20 watt power supply and replaced it with a 500 watt.

So I figured this would be easy. Install the new stuff, run the system discs and bam I should have it... well its not working.

Seems like the computer is not reading the CD's or something.
Any one out there able to thow me a bone on this?

I have only done a hard shutdown once since ive gotten my computer. What kind of damage will it do to my computer? I have heard many people say its ok to do it and some have said it can ruin your hard disk or operating system. I would greatly appreciate the help.

Just bought a laptop today from futureshop. Here it is http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0665000FS10089806&catid=25314&logon=&langid=EN

The laptop supposed to have 80 GB of Hard drive but once I turned on the laptop and in My Computer, in the C:\ drive it says 22 GB free space out of 32 GB?? There is another drive, D:\, it says 33 GB free out of 33GB. Combine them together theres only 65 GB of Total size??

Can anyone explain this?

**Another thing it also says on the laptop that it only has 766MB of Ram memory, when it supposed to have 1GB RAM (1024MB)??
