I know, it might be a common sense question, but I'm paranoid should I get rid of this computer that was given to me....(it's old too!) Any data saved on the Desktop will be lost, correct? And what about Outlook Express? Same thing?

And if I can...how can I choose the fastest one? Is it hard to replace myself? (I have been able to replace CDR drives, memory, ... stuff like that..but nothing with the motherboard yet.

Hi
I can't get hold of any heat-conductive gel to improve the conduction between my cpu and heat sink. What can I use as an alternative?

I need something proven and tested, not guesses! Thanks folks

My family needs a new computer, and my mom if fed up with our PC. She's decided that she wants a Mac because of its easier user interface and programs like iMovie. I, on the other hand, am a gamer, and I don't want to have to sacrifice all of my games that won't be compatible and all the programs in Microsoft office that I use for school. Also, Macs aren't as upgradable as Windows, and tend do be integrated, right? I don't want to be stuck with a computer that won't be good in a few years, and that I won't be able to upgrade.

I know that its possible to run windows on Macs, though, but I have no idea how to do that. Firstly, is it going to be necessary so that my PC programs are compatible, and if so, how should I accomplish that?

Second of all, which desktop model should I get? I'm not too sure what to get, how powerful it should be, etc. I know I probably wont be able to upgrade much, so I want something that will last.

I've been told SATA II HDD's are twice as fast as the first generation SATA HDD, is this true?

Will a SATA HDD (not SATA II) work in the following motherboard?

PATA 2 x ATA100 up to 4 Devices
SATA 3Gb/s 5 x Internal SATA II
1 x External SATA II on Back Panel
SATA RAID RAID 0/1/0+1/5
Additional RAID Controller Sil 3132

And why do we need RAID? How is it used and why would anyone want to use it?

If so do you have any problems with it? Also how's their tech support?

Whenever I tell people that I am looking to buy a Macintosh Computer, they always give me grief and tell me that I am making a poor decision. I actually like Macs better. I just wondered why they are not as popular.

My PC makes "booting sounds" as soon as I plug the tower in, without me pressing the power button. There is no video, even when I try to use a card, and keyboard does not power up. I thought it was the motherboard, so I got a new one and switched everything. On testing, I only connected the bare neccessities, power, ram, processor and hd. The same thing happened, indicating that a component is bad, I already tried different RAM. Could it be the processor? A new one costs over $200, a big investment to make just to trouble shoot!

I need to buy a PC (and laptop too). But I do not want any software installed on that PC, even the OS, since I have all the softwares I need. Is there anyplace I can buy like that? I mean, I need to buy hardwares, not softwares. Why do I need to pay more for the things I've already had?

There are so many models of the Pentium D and AMD dual core processor out there....and most all are too pricey for me.

Let's just hope the price will soon drop. I'm told they will in July 2006. We'll just have to wait and see.

If I had no more than $200 to spend on a processor (and I only want a dual core processor) which one can I get?

If you quote a price from a particular website, please provide a link to that site.

Other than price (and this is a major factor for me), what factors should be considered?

I'm starting from scratch so there are no constraints on the processor right now. In other words, I'll match the mobo with the processor.....not the other way around.

I let's say I have 2 to 3 months to buy everything I need to build the computer.

I'll be using the computer primarily to convert analog video to digital video.

NO GAMING GOING ON HERE....unless I change a lot.

I'm also looking for any other motherboards with the same configuration as that one since it would fit into my case.

My monitor flickers and shows vertical bands of colour. The coloured stripes are like a barcode and the width and order of the colours changes every time it flickers. It covers the whole screen and then goes back to normal. I have replaced monitor with identical new one so monitor itself is ok. I have put computer back to factory condition and everything else works ok. I have done full virus/spyware/adware checks and am not infected. Any ideas will be appreciated.
