I got a new mobo, and on the box it specifically mentions "Athlon64" and "Athlon 64 fx" -- it does not mention "Athlon 64 x2".

I have an Athlon 64 x2 3800+ socket 939 processor.

I just want to make sure it will work in my
Socket 939 ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo.

It has been 2 years since I got my computer and I want to try to modify its looks. But I have to have a list of the hardware in it. Processor, harddisk, ram etc. Their product names, numbers and years etc. A program or a section of Windows itself?

I'm thinking about building a new desktop. I'm a regular reader of maximum pc but those mobos are ridiculously pricey and way beyond my purposes. I'd like a new setup that can handle heavy burning, graphic apps like CS2 & Macromedia apps, and keep up with the current trends NOT the current gaming community. Any ideas? Thanks.

my old video card died. It was a Radeon 9800 pro. I am thinking of getting the geforce 7600 because it is very affordable and it is 2 generations newer than my radeon.

The funny thing is this: The Radeon 9800 pro has a 256 bit memory bus, and the geforce 7600 has a 128 bit memory bus. This was a big factor in picking out a high performance card 2 years ago. Will this mean the geforce 7600 will not be much faster than the old card I had?

Is getting a card with 256 memory bus really important? Should I get a 6800 gt instead of the 7600? Please explain your answer.

I am from the UK, and everything on my keyboard works fine except for a few keys. The most annoying is the pound sign displays # instead. And pressing shift then 2 gives me @. For the @ button, it gives me " for some reason. That's about it. Is it the Country the keyboard's assigned to? The computer monitor had some trouble changing to different modes (I have an LCD TFT that has digital and analogue modes), but the other users' keys are fine, it's just my user name. Can someone please help????
