The computer (not mine) hasn't been turned on in over 3 months. It is old and a student built it with a mix match of pieces. Any idea as to how I can figure out what is going on and how can I fix it?

I have some tapes we would like to convert to DVD's, and I am wondering if it is possible to do this with an iMac? Are there any extra accessories needed?

I'm getting the new 24" iMac. I was just wondering when to buy it. I know that Leopard is coming out in spring 2007. My question is whether apple usually comes out with new iMacs when they come out with a new OS. If not, I would buy sooner than later. But if they did, then I'd probably wait. Thanks in advance.

Can you stack raid 0 arrays - e.g. take 2 raid 0 arrays - perhaps 2 sets of pairs of 120Gb 7200rpm SATA drives and feed them into another raid controller - to effectively create a logical 480Gb 28,800rpm drive ?

If it can be done & provides a useful advantage, what is the limit on how many layers can be stacked ?

Does anyone have any professional research results & data on this ?

Thanks.

I have a Compaq now, but some people say Dell is better. Any opinions?

Also, which anti-virus is better? Mcafee or Norton?

We're looking at buying a low-end computer for home use. The Dell website lists the Dimension B110 with the Intel Celeron D processor at $329 (if we upgrade to 512mb RAM.) But for $329 we can also choose the Dimension E521 which comes with 512mb RAM, and uses the AMD Sempron 3400+ processor.

Is there a noticeable difference between the two processors for standard home use (internet, basic Windows programs, some games)?

Are there significant differences between the two machines that I'm missing?

How can I switch out a sound card from one computer to the other?

Better yet, since this I'm sure will take forever to answer, do you know of a website that will give me detailed instructions and possible photos?

Thanks!

Is it potentially bad for the processor if you use it to the maximum for an extended period of time? I'm using Handbrake to rip some video, and according to Activity Monitor, it's using up pretty much all the processor, and estimated time is six hours. Is this bad for the processor and degrade will its performance?
