Desktops - June 2006

My computer used to recognize this disk but as time persisted, it started to not recognize it at times. Now it doesn't even recognize it at all. Since the disk is old anyways, is there anyway i can transfer my information and such onto a different hard disk? I think there's something wrong with the motherboard because it says the device is working properly but it doesn't show up. HELP please.

my pc comes on but nothing is displayed on monitor. I have tried 2 monitors so I dont think thats what it is. I have a new radeon 9550 that has worked very well for the lst 3 mos..I smell burning but can;t tell where it is comeing from. My hard drive has been acting up a little but nothing big. all fans spin up, hooked up to onboard video nothing chaanged , but I did notice that the HD dose not spin up and I can not open disc drives. the burning smell seems to be coming from power supply.

I've looked into all 3 options and there's really no wrong choice here. The main problem I'm having is picking the processor, Intel or AMD.

Hello all. I have a $450 computer from walmart that I purchased about 2 or 3 years ago and it seemed rather slow but I thought it was just the price or something. But when I was looking on dell.com I was reading tabout this monitor that had all these great features inclouding the ability to multitask with ease. And then I was wondering if I took my school computer monitor(I home school) and used it if it would help me out cuzz I play games, watch movies in high def, ect... Does the monitor affect how fast the user can be productive, the cpu, or a little bit of both? Thanks for reading

I'm no computer wiz - so answer in layman's terms if possible. i had a 200 gig Maxtor 3100 external hard drive that no longer works because i think the power unit burned out. its still under waranty, maxtor will replace if i can show them data recovery was done by a genuine business, regardless of their method. one place would charge me $70 to install the hard drive into my desk top, dump the contents into it (presuming they wern't affected by the surge), and pull it back out. To do this, I have to either burn cds or butmore storage to make room. so i figured i'd use the money i'd pay the tech to buy more storage, and ask my brother (who from self teaching successfully installed disk drives and ram into his own pc) to install the external into my pc, thereby giving me a huge hard drive in my computer and an external for back up. is this possible for a person with general knowledge to do? are there potential complicating factors? could it cause complication down the road?

Do I have to include the AGEIA® PhysX® physics accelerator at the time of online purchase, or (if I don't get it) will the computer allow me to add it later?

I started with a Commadore 64, then got an Apple...then about 12 years ago, switched to Windows n Dell. Now I'm looking to get a new pc. I've got a ton of Photoshop, Flash MX, Video Editing, Front Page, Excel...those type applications...so if I make the change...I'll need to start over. Also, I want a Dual Core, right now AMD offers 2.2ghz X 2, or Intel has a 3.2 X 2...for the price, I'd be looking at an Apple with like 1.6 in my range...your thoughts??

Which means, having limited funds presently, I'd want to put it on the parts that cannot be later upgraded.

As far as I understand, the processor and hard drive are permanent; while your RAM, video card, sound card, and most other aspects are changable.

I am into gaming and will probably customize the Dell XPS 200 or 400 (both start at the same price...unsure which way to go). Would it be wise, then, to put my money in the processor and hard drive while going minimal on the other components?

Any thoughts are appreciated -- thanks in advance!!!

My computer is a Dell that I bought it summer '00. I use Windows ME. My computer is extremely slow! The computers at my job are Dell also, but run Windows XP and the computers itself are of course newer. Working on them is a dream. A friend of mine said I'd be better off buying a new computer rather than ugrading software. Are computers sold nowadays THAT much different from computers from '00?
