I just noticed that my home computer's hard drive is nearly full. I don't have that many files stored (my music collection is 20GB). When I look at the size of the individual folders in Windows Explorer- the C:Documents&Settings folder is the main culprit (65GB); BUT, when I look at (and add up) the size of the individual subfolders and files that are IN the Docs&Settings folder, they only add up to 20GB. Please help!

Would like to re-cover the data I have stored on it. Any tech advice, someone who knows what they are talking about. I am computer savvy, tried the reg. stuff.

Had crashing problems - tried all sorts with no joy. Found BIOS reprting 80 deg c on processor today which might explain no error messages or reports - just a lock up that requires reset. Processor and CPU fans working OK.Had unusally warm temps over the last few weeks in SE of UK which would tie in with increase in crashing problems. Any ideas on getting temp down ? Is it possible for heatsink compound to fail ?

2006-08-08 22:13:44 · 8 answers · asked by anthony e 2

basically, im a bit confused, if you compair these two models which one will give me better performance when making tracks on programs like ableton live and cubase etc..

1.Intel Pentium 4 660, 3.6GHz 2MB Cache 800Mhz LGA775

or

2.Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz LGA775 Processor

Im making a new computer and cant decide which, im fed up with my existing computer blipping and generally struggling to cope with what i want to do with it.

Is the new duo core better than the single yet or is it in its early stages? if so is it worth while buying the single core for the fraction of the price and wait till the duo gets faster?

This is somthing that has really been nigling at me as i dont want to waste my wonga!!

Thanks

How will it be better than any AMD or Intel Processor so far made. It is said to give 40% more efficiency than any other processors. Will it be really that good for gaming compared to other processors. What about the hardwares- Graphic card and all, will they too work that efficiently on the new systemboard. How can Intel suddenly come up with such a processor. Are they adopting the policy used by AMD(run at true clock speed.). What will be the clockspeed at which the Core2 Extreme will run, its FSB, and all that details.Will it be good for video editing and stuffs like that. Will the new AMD Quad Processor due to release this November outperform even Core2 Extreme. Will Core2 Extreme support overclocking and if yes, how much in percentage ratio.

I have an AMD Duron 750 MHz which I overclocked to about 923 MHz, 256MB SDRAM, 266MHz FSB.
Before oveclocking my CPU, I converted videos, played games and music of course; I experienced that my processor is just awesome for games.
But when it comes 2 music or editing videos, my processor is just too slow. The videos I converted from my my DVD are just awful (I know I have used the correct software and I have tried as many formats), they hang every second. I know my PC does't have a virus or something. Even when it comes 2 playing music, my computer is sometimes too slow. Will overclocking be helpful? (Already done but right now I am using Linux only temporarily)
I am planning 2 buy a whole new PC. I have looked everywhere on the net and AMD processors show better benchmarks than Intel and are cheaper too.
I am afraid on what 2 buy coz if I buy AMD Athlon 4800+ will it give me the same problem as I have now with Duron.
I play high-end games, lots of video editing and music. PS HELP!

I need to clone a disk that is outside of it's array. It's a dynamic disk first of all, so most programs like Acronis (even enterprise) won't clone it. Worst of all I need to clone it to non-identical hardware. Any REAL help would be greatly appreciated.

My 7 year old was playing around with my desktop computer and managed to change the access password that comes up when I boot the computer. She does not remember what she put in there, and we've tried numerous combinations of things she thinks it was she typed in.

I'm talking about the User Password that comes up when we can select which User we want to be. Unfortunately I only had one user set up to restrict access from the children....and like a dummy I left her to play with the computer (Note: It was less than 10 minutes.....boy did I learn a lesson.)

Any and all help would be appreciated.
