Why do AMD 64 x2 cpus have less cache than the intel core 2 duos? Is there a major difference? What does L2 mean when it says L2 cache? I see intel cpus having up to 4mb cache while AMD just has 1MB x 2 or 512 x 2 L2 Cache... For gaming, does it really matter? So many questions but I would greatly appreciate some shared knowledge from the computer savvy. Thanks!

Any advice is much appreciated.

If you have used another brand previously, how good was that?

What problems have you had with the brands you have used?

32-bit. I know how to connect the components, I need to know how I would boot up to Windows VIsta after the upgrade takes place. I upgraded my dad's computer but when BIOS was searching for the BOOT.INI file it was unable to. Do I have to reinstall windows vista after the upgrade or what?

Thanks. The upgrade is shipping to my house tomorrow - Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 + 2GB DDR2 RAM.

I bought an older system on eBay last year, and when you try to boot it up, you get a screen that says: SYSTEM DISABLED".
How do I correct that? I'd like to slug the
jerk who sold it to me, but it's too late now.

I've heard all about the dangers of placing sensitive electrical components near magnetically unsheilded devices.

I am building a PC soon and I need a place to set my tower casing. I dont want my investment to be screwed up by rogue magnetic waves. I've checked and my satellites for the speaker system is sheilded but the subwoofer is not.

So can I place the tower by the subwoofer? If not what is the minimum distance?

weeks ago my brother's desktop would turn off by itself, if it was left turned on over night in the morning it would be turned off. some time later windows automatic update told me i had some stuff 2 install, i kept canceling everytime it prompted bcuz i didn't like what it was going to install, eventually something ended up installing itself and i would get the 'ur comp will shut down in 5 mins' msg, 1 of those times i was away from the computer for more than 5 mins the computer had rebooted, i don't even know what got installed after all. after that install, @ random times i'd hear something clicking INSIDE the computer tower, it'd b a single click and then everything'd freeze 4 a couple seconds and then go back 2 normal. i ran antivirus/antispy and all that stuff, but nothing came up, so i ignored it. one night we left the comp on over night and the next morning got "Reboot and select a proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press any key"
