Is it necessary to purchase a third party disk optimizer to optimize a hard drive on a Mac? I have a g4 desktop with 2/800 processors, i gb ram. I know that the Mac doesn't come with a disk tool, so I never thought it was necessary. When I install a new program or update, I get a message saying "optimizing hard drive" or something like that, so I assumed it cleaned up the hard drive automatically. Is this correct? If not, is there a freeware solution? I've had the computer since the g4's first came out, and it doesn't seem excessively slow like a windows machine would be. I reformatted when I installed panther (or whatever the last upgrade was), but that was a while ago. Thanks in advance.

I have (2) 256 MB DDR2 Memory Sticks ,but my computer says i only have 447 memory. Before i had erased my hard-drive it said i had 512 but now it seems to have dropped. I used a program called FreeRamXP Pro to defrag my memory, which i used before i erased my hard-drive. Please assist me or ask me for more info if i am not clear enough.

My friend has gave me her computer to try and mend and I am stuck!!

It is XP home (genuine) and when you turn the computer on it starts to boot ok, but as the XP Home sign comes up the little green "line" goes across for a few seconds and then the computer just re-boots, back to same point and does the same again.

She had lost her install disc, although the genuine sticker is on the PC case.

I imagine I need to get a "recovery" disc, can I download one for free anywhere off my own computer?

I do not want to risk making her copy "non-genuine"

All help greatly appreciated

I've been trying to defrag my computer but it won't ever finish. It just stays at 0% during the process. Am I doing something wrong? Here's how I start defragmentation:
Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter
Are these the correct steps to do defrag on my computer? I have a Compaq Presario.

My computer is an AMD Athlon 750MHz with 640MB of PC133 RAM.
Is the RAM going to be of any use if I upgrade my motherboard and processor ?
If so what is the fastest processor I could upgrade to ?

Is this as easy as buying the new keyboard and just plugging it in? Or would there be more involved? Also, do I need a special adapter or anything?

Thank you so much!

Here's what I have now...

Pentium 4 2.5Ghz
512MB ram
Nvidia Geforce Force FX 5200 w/128mb
120gb hard drive
Windows ME (yeah I know it's old)

Should I upgrade to Win XP and in a year or so upgrade my computer (bigger hd, more ram & new video card) or should I just skip XP and go straight to Vista and hope for the best?

I don't have the money to upgrade my hardware just yet but I really don't want to buy XP only to find out it's more outdated than I think.

Yesterday i was downloading something from Emule and because it was long I left the computer on at night so it could do it's thing and sleep. When I came here in the morning, my sister said she unhibernated it and then it shut duwn by itself.
And when I go on windows, this is what is sais:
"We Appologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or soft ware change might have caused this.
If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectedly, or was automatically shut down to protect your files and folders, choose last know good configuration to to revert to the most recent settings that worked. If a previous startup attempt was interrupted die to a power failure or because the power or reset button was pressed, or if you are,'t sure what caused the problem, choose start windows normally."
Now I did everything it wants me to do and when i click start windows normally, it saisa problem was detected and windows shutdown to prevent damg

Hi Please suggest.

I want to purchase Dual core 2.8 but again confused as there are two Options. Is there any significance difference between these two.
2.8 Ghz (LGA 775)/800/1X2/820
2.8 Ghz (LGA 775)/800/2X2/915

motherbard Intel DG965RY

RAM 512MB + 512MB 400 MZ.

As I heard because of speed mismatch among three devices , we can not get complete benifits.

Is 400mhz RAM speed is enough for Processor / Motherboard ?
