Desktops - July 2006

I've heard about both, but how are they different? Is the SATA slower? If so, is it because of the cache size? I saw a SATA II advertised but when I went to look at the specs, it had dropped the II and was now a SATA so I now I'm confused. If it's all in the cache, then I understand, if not, I'm really confused.

Can I just take it into a computer place to have this done? I keep getting the message that memory is low, but I don't want to delete anything. I want to keep it all.

I go to turn it on and it will only after I turn it on and off 60 times. The power button will go green, but the monitor stays blank, and like I said it will go on 1 in 60 times (not an actualy number just a guess) but when I do get it on it works perfect...until I have to turn it off again then I have to go through the process all over.

I have a CPU which is manufactured by Emachine and it just stopped working. Its only about 3 years old. I checked the power source and that's fine so its gotta be the CPU. I just don't understand why it stopped working. I was using it all day yesterday and then my computer just shut off and will not turn back on. Everything else is fine - monitor and speakers. Its just the CPU that isn't working. Does anyone know what could be wrong? I have never had any other problems with this computer.

I have set hibernation mode (after 5 minutes) on my XP pro sp2 o/s. I need to switch off the main power line because of thunderstroms. Therefore I have to wait for 5 minutes doing nothing than just wait for it to auto-hibernate. Is there any advanced settings that as soon as I finish my work, I click on a button & my XP start hibernation immediately ? I cant reset the hibernation time less than 5 minutes, as its too short.
