Desktops - August 2006

I currently have a pentium 4, 1.6ghz (currently all that i know) processor. i am thinking to change into a higher pentium 4 and have these 2 specific details, hyper-threading and at least 3.0ghz.

I am wondering if i need to change my motherboard or memory, and what specifics do i need to know when picking out the right processor.

I dont hear any sound. What's going on? I hooked it up right. I installed this on my other computer which was an athlon xp. I had to turn up the "line in" in volume control. On my athlon 64 geForce 6100 gpu, however, there is no "line in" in volume control. Anyone know how to fix this? Or do i need to buy a sound card?

I was thinking about getting the dell xps 400 but i dont want to buy something i will regret buying later. i would like an educated opinion on if its worth the money or if tyheir is someting better out there. the one i want comes with the nvidea 9800 gtx card and a 30 in wide screen flat panal moniter. it lookes like decent specs but im not a computer wiz by any means lol. you can find all the specs on on their xps website. I have also heard that dell dosent make the best computers so if anyone knows why, that would be helpfull as well, is it because of the programming?. The computer in total will cost about 1500 dollars.

My old computer is slow, very slow. It's a costum built computer (made by CompUSA) designed for Windows 95. However when I bought it, it had Windows 98 installed on it. It has a:
4Mhz Intel Celeron Processor.
48MB memory (I may have installed more memory on it)
4.3 GB harddrive
56k Modem

Well I want to delete everything from the computer and install Linux. However because the computer is so old and slow I have no Idea how to connect it to the internet.
Should I install Linux on my old computer? If yes can I download the software onto my current computer, burn it to a disc and then install it on the Windows (blank CD or a DVD)?

If I shouldn't install Linux how do I delete all the data on my old computer without getting rid of windows 98? I want to clear everything from the computer except for the applications that originally came with it.
Where should I start? Is there a guid that I could follow?

My friend deleted his computer administrator account to just have a
limited account. As you already know, this other type of account allows him to change just a few settings. He said that he opened a computer administrator account for his girlfriend, but he cannot find it now. As you can imagine, he cannot do almost anything with his limited account, so there is no way that he can create a computer administrator account, change his account type or re install windows XP. What can he do when he just has ONE account, but is limited?
