I just got a 19" Dell L.C.D. monitor and my friends say it is because L.C.D. sceens take up so much power. But I think it is ethier memory (ram) or the hard drive, which would be the better choice when it comes to speed?

Alright, Im currently in the market for a new computer, somewhere in the range of $1000-$2000, preferably with a monitor. Ive been looking at the Xps 410 for a good while as while as the new Mac pro, but the mac pro is to expensive unless anyone knows any special offers, or anything. Any suggestions on other good retailers fore longer-lasting upgradable computers that can hanlde games like Doom3, or the like? Special offers or deals would be very helpful as well. Thanks!

I am upgrading most of my PC components and am wondering if I should also upgrade the PSU. Here is what I plan to upgrade to:



-Intel Pentium D 940 Presler 3.2GHz LGA 775 Dual Core

-ASUS P5NSLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Intel Edition ATX Intel Motherboard

-2GB of DDR2 667

-PNY VCG7600SXPB GeForce 7600GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card

-20GB 7200RPM PATA (IDE) hard drive

-100GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive

-Fan controller with small LED display. Controlling 2 LED 80mm fans and the CPU fan that comes with the CPU.

-DVD RW +/- Drive (IDE)

-CD RW drive (IDE)

-Floppy drive

-Wireless network PCI card

-LED case light

-USB: mouse, keyboard, Ipod, and flash drive.


That is my NEW configuration which I have not built yet. Will the Ultra V series 350W power supply (link below) work for the above configuration? If not, in your answer please give me a link to a new one (I prefer Newegg.com).

i would like a desktop. we are using it primarily for school/homework, media projects (photos, video and art) and music storage (downloaded and original scores). doesnt need any business bells/whistles, just basic stuff but powerful and user friendly. sales people are not a good source because they are trying to make a sale. i want user feedback and recommendations please. affordable as well. trying to spend less than $800.

I don't know much about computer types and brands, so I need help! I am looking for an inexpensive (perferably less than $700) desktop computer. I would like it to have a flat screen with a dvd player and cd burner built in. What is recommended?

I've always read that refurbishment is a good way to save some money. But, I'm concerned that there may be cosmetic defects or other problems.

Has anyone purchased a refurbished computer and had good luck (especially if you have done it several times)

More importantly has anyone had any problems and if so, what?

I'm thinking of going with Apple

Thanks

This sucks man, I cannot believe that there isn't a 17 pin connection on this tower, but there isn't....the monitor is hardwired with a 17 pin cable, the tower only has one connection other than for a printer and its a 9 pin male.....can't find anything online, yeah, I know I have to go to computer store...probably radio shack will do...but I wanted to know from a computer person if this was possible.....

How to find amd equivalent of a pentium...say which amd processor is as fast as 2.8 GHz P4? Can you compare pentium and amd just like you compare different pentiums ( I say 2.8 is certainly better than 2.4 Ghz P4...)?

A customer had some concerns that since AMD and ATI had merged that they wouldn't support Intel. Now I know this can't be true is there anything you have heard otherwise?

I was jusg wondering if there was a way to fix my computer hard drive while saving the information that was stored on it, I try and put it in my computer now (which it worked in like a month ago) and the computer won't read it, it also makes the computer freeze and crash. I have 2 hard drives so the working one I took out and then put the non-workin one in and it won't boot... so the question is there a way to fix the hardware part of the hard drive while saving the data? Or is there a way to transfer the data without a computer?
