I've read some post in some forums and they said that q6600 will be just around $250-$300 in q3 this year... Is it true or is it near impossible to happen? I want to upgrade my pc now and because of what I've read, I'm thinking twice to posponed it and upgrade when the quad core is already cheap...

I think I have everything hooked up to the mother board right. It is a DG965 WH Intel.The power supply is installed and hooked up to each component. I flip the switch in the back and press power in the front and nothing. I keep going over it but can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

I see this question was asked before but not the same. I want to buy a home pc and in the past I custom ordered pcs but I am not sure that is best anymore and I am tired of Gateway. Compusa is near my home but not sure they are very good. I like good benchmark tests and like to be on the cutting (bleeding) edge of technology if possible. In the past I always get conflicts from slapping together a pc.

Any ideas which is best... a custom built pc... and from where or a store bought pc and from where? I got a laptop but now want a home pc. I would consider a unix but it must run windows and be ibm compatible.

I know there are lots of options so no need to list items maybe but i do gotta have the new double sided cd burner and in the past I liked dual processors.

Thanks,

Every time I put in a CD my computer couldn't recognize it as it being in there. It didn't use to do that. Except, one time it did recognize it as it being inside. I tried to rip the CD on WMP and it would rip then stop. Then I got the CD out and it had this big huge scratch that was not there before, because it was a new CD. Now, it is making this really weird noise everytime I open it and close it.

whats up with dell ink cartages? I had noticed that the cartages did not last very long! I just received an order today, $26.00 for a black cartage, I just started printing articles, and I got a grand total of 156 pages printed from one cartage. Its completely out of ink !! That is ridiculous. And they (dell) ask for return of cartages ,in free envelope. Whats up, do dell fill them half full of ink and resell them? Its hard to believe that a $26.00 cartage will only print 156 pages. Yes, I had my printer turned to as light as it would go. I could not even read the last three pages. I was unaware that I could only get cartages from dell. I went to Staples, only to learn I couldn't get them. They had other brands for $12.00 and would give a $3.00 exchange with the old cartage. Total of $9.00. Does anyone have an answer? I would be thankful for any information. I sure can't afford the dell price on a monthly social security budget. Can kits be purchased for a do it yourself refill?

I bought a new computer basically to play the sims 2 on. After about 6 months of the sims and World of warcraft it shut down on me and never turned on again. I looked up the beep code and it says its the video card or the memory. I already opened it to vaccum out some dust (and its worked since then so I know that wasnt what broke it) but in turn that voided the warranty. SOOO long story short I dont know whether I should take it to a proffessional or try to fix it myself. I learn stuff pretty quickly so Im sure I could do it, but im worried I might mess something up and break it permanently. Which way would be cheaper, and which way would be more beneficial to the computer.

I am giving my computer to my nephew because I am upgrading. I was wondering if there was a way i can copy all my music from windows media and just put it on my new computer, is there a way to do this?
Also, I did all my office work on this computer, i deleted all the files, but i was wondering if there is something else i should do to make sure it is erased for good. I dont want him to see the files i erased. Any ideas? The computer is an hp and has windows xp (if that matters)
thanks

I have a very specific request and question, i hope someone can point me to a website where I can build what I need. I could not find Dell to do this on the website.... any other good brand is also appreciated...

I need 2 hard drives with 10,000rpm each, IntelDuo, and a graphic card that can support 4 monitors with hi resolution and great quality. My purpose is NOT gaming, but hi end graphic produccion and video ... Speed and performance is key, and it has to offer me the option to buy Windows Vista Ultimate .... I need the best, but no gamers overkill... thanks !
