I have a computer that is about 6 years old.It is going to crap out soon so I was wondering if any one could point me in the right direction for building a new one myself. I don't need a super computer just on that will get me on the net hold 9 to 10 gigs of music and the same amount of pictures,a usb port that fits my camcorder, maybe vista but i heard it is crap?. I'm computer retarded but heard that it is not super complicated to work on older parts. I also heard that the parts would be cheaper if they would be a couple of years old. I don't know were to start so any information would be helpful.

Can some computer genius's help me please? I have a dell dimension 2400 and need to buy a new graphics card, so that I can play games that require pixel shader 2.0 . So far all I could find through dell was this radeon 9250 256 mb ddr pci graphics card. This is like 80 dollars, is there another brand or something that would be compatible with my computer and still work well enough so I can play the games I want?

This question is only for those who have a modem of this kind or know someone who does and can say if they last longer than a year, etc. or breakdown.
How long do these wireless modems (no phone jack needed) last? Do they have to be replaced often?

Hi, I am currently using an HP 716n PC with Windows XP SP2 on it. I had a total amount of 512mb of ram installed. I purchased and added 1gb of memory (2x512mb sticks) to the 2x256mb and have a total of 1512mb installed.

It recognizes the added memory but doesn't really add much only 256 mb added (to the 512mb) for recommended use. I want to be able to maximize the settings where it won't hurt the pc and I won't have any slowdowns if using a lot of programs.

These are the current settings in system properties/memory/virtual memory:

Visual Effects - Let windows choose what's best for my computer.

Memory Usage - Programs (System Cache is also selectable)

Virtual Memory size: 756mb (I have 1512mb available)

If anyone can help recommend settings that would be for best performance utilizing the 1512mb that I have I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
