does limewire really slow down your computer and how.I have a 256 ram drive and I don't know what slows it down.After a while on my computer I noticed it was getting slower.Could this not be limewire and could it be when I put more things on my computer that contain more than 50 mega bytes (mb)

My computer on several occasions has turned itself on. It is like someone pushed the on button to turn it on. Is there some way it can be programed to do this?

When you buy a Dual core processer in a computer stating 2.0ghz does this mean it 4.0ghz in total

I have about 39 running - it looks like they are all necessary.
How many do you have running? What do you think?

apart from luquid nitrogen,which im having a problem with purchasing,what is another way(except using a cpu fan ) of keeping a cpu cool so i can push the clock speed higher
i am using a old athlon 2200(1.2ghz) and i want to see how much i can push this,every time i go even 5% higher with just the fan and heatsink it will crash and i have to reset the cmos
i have even considered designing a custom build,attaching the mobo inside a mini fridge and using a mate of mine who is a welder ,build compartments for dvd-rom and hard drive
the only problems being how to stop parts freezing too much and keeping the fridge at a stable tempeture
i will try anything,i am known by my mates as a serious headcase when it comes to stuff like this,i wonder why thats why they look worried when i approach their p.c,s
any ideas guys?
cheers

i have two computers, both are Sony desktops. I am considering upgrading them but i would like to know how hard this is to do. The reason for upgrade is that I've used allmost all of the internal disk space on the hard drives. I do a lot of photography and it's eat up the storage. Is upgrading / adding a harddrive an easy task, or is it more complicated? Maybe on a scale of one to ten? Is this something that I can do myself? I'd like to keep the old harddrive and add a new one, not replace one for the other. Also, do I need to upgrade or add RAM when i add a harddrive? are there any conflicts/issues with one being newer or larger than the other? is there a website(s) that will tell me this sort of information? Or should I just go to a professional? The problem is I wanted to do this for Christmas present, and the only price quote I can get is almost $200 for installation and approx. $100 for the disk, and that was a little more than I wanted to go. Thank you.

Would a an upgrade from 256 MB of RAM to 768 MB be stable and would the 512 RAM be in conflict with the 256? Specifically would the 512 RAM be actually reduced to 256 RAM speed to match the other slot?

I'm currently seeking the best computer for gaming. I have a good choice in mind but I thought I'd first check with you all to see what your opinions are on the subject. I'd like a DELL XPS 700 Heavy Ordnance - High Performance Gaming Machine in Special Edition Formula Red or Jet Black, but there might be something even better. I'm not able to go above US$2000 so the DELL PC might be my best bet. Oh, and please don't suggest building a PC myself since I don't really have much experience in tinkering with the inside of computers besides upgrading hardware components and changing PC cases.

I am well and truely fed up with Windows and Microsofts global domiantion plans and want to return to mac (I had one years ago before replacing with a PC), but I have been having a look around and even 2nd hand ones are really expensive? If Apple want to cut Microsoft down, they should lower their costs?
