I want to buy a PC but I want the best processor available. I read that the Pentium line will be retired and the new Intel Core processors will be released later this month. Which is better? Which is the best to get? Thanks!

I want to get a new top of the line computer. What should I do, should I buy one from the store, customize one online, or buy the parts and build it myself? Which one would be cheaper? Would the risk of messing up the components worth the money I save.

Wondering what the difference is between the different computer chip. For example, the AMD chips have several kinds (AMD Athlon, AMD Athlon XP-M, AMD Athlon64, AMD Sempron, AMD Turion64), and the Pentium has a few also (Intel Celeron, Intel Celeron M, Intel Pentium 4, Intel Pentium 4 M). I know the difference between AMD and pentium, but how are the other classes different?

I was getting a new motherboard and noticed there are different types of PCI-X slots on the board. I had a couple of questions.

1. Video cards are the only cards that will need the 16X due to the bandwidth and resources required for this. Are there any other cards that may need 16X.

2. I notice some companies sell boards with 4X as well as 8X. What type of cards need 4X vs 8X. It seems that everything else would just require 1X.

3. I heard 32X will be comming out. Is it worth it to wait.....

It will make a loud humming sound at any time. It has done this 3 times in the last wk. Turning off the p c and waiting a few minutes corrects the noise. I have vacuumed the back vent grills to see if that will help. If this continues , will I have to replace the fan and battery pack?

I have windows xp on a gateway computer. Usually the C drive is all I work on. the D drive stores system restore files.

Recently the computer crashed and wouldn't reboot except in safe mode. When I checked disk it said both c and d were ok. When I tried to defrag, I saw the D drive was completely full and all red. I don't know what is in there! it is maxed! I went and clicked on clean D disk, and clicked on "delete all but the last system restore point." THen I turned OFF system restore, as a last ditch effort to defrag or clean up D. Nothing. It is still full, and red. I ran my antivirus (zone alarm pro) on both c and d. Found nothing. I ran adaware. Found nothing. I have a system recovery disk which I've never used. Would that do the trick? I am scared I've lost my computer. I am on another computer now but I am afraid I am going to lose my connection as the router is hooked to the other one and its going crazy.

Any ideas? someone help please.
