If I had 1GB system ram, and installed this video card with turbocache, will it steal system ram while i'm doing regular things on my pc like browsing or viewing videos? It has 128mb DDR2 ram on board. Will I still see1GB of system ram when I go into windows control panel under system when i check how much system ram i have? Or will some of my ram be missing? Or does it only use system ram when it needs it? I really want to keep my system ram untouched while not gaming.

When I watch videos on this computer and it has to "buffer" up to 100% to watch. It never seems to run smoothly but instead freezes up, or skips. The sound always plays normal, the video just never plays right usually. Sometimes it does depending on what video. On my computer with the Ethernet cable it never really seems to stream videos well, or does the same as what I was talking about before. What is something good to do, buy, or add on to make it buffer and stream videos better?

My computer comes on with this page that says primary drive 1 not found. I can't access internet explorer, any of my icons, no system restore, no help and support center, no nothing. I can come online via Mozilla ONLY and that's luck of the draw. I do not have any viruses. I ran a full scan. Is this drive 1 not found the reason that I am having these problems and if so how can I get it back? Certain icon attempts say error file not found also. HELP!!!!!!! And the screen saying drive 1 not found HAS NEVER APPEARED before all this started happening.

Sort of in a big problem... need help from you pros here at answers.

I have an eMachines T6520. Don't laugh.

It has 1GB of RAM, 2 512's. 200GB hard drive. It originally came with an ATI x200. I gave it an x700 PRO. Didn't do much. It has a 300 watt power supply. Sick.

I want to get an 8600GT. I've replaced the rear fan with a 120mm fan. I am going to replace the PSU before I get the 8600. I'll probably be getting 550 or 600w with 120mm fans on them actually AIMING DOWN at my computer. My current power supply only has 1 80mm fan and doesn't have one on the bottom of the ps to actually suck air in and out.

The bottom line is, if I get an 8600gt, will my pc overheat? Remember, I'll be getting a 550-600w powersupply with a 120mm fan. I also replaced the rear fan.

PLEASE HELP.

My computer currently have 512MB of RAM. I just bought a 1GB. Why when I install it, I get a black screen when I turn my pc on? It seems like Windows wouldn't boot. But when I take it, Windows boots fine. Is there something wrong? I'm sure that the RAM I just bought is compatible to my PC. Thanks.

I am thinking of purchasing a computer with a Quad-core processor (Intel C2D Q6600), and was wondering how exactly will 4xC architecture will improve the performance of the software that I run. Specifically, with regard to older programs that are *not* programmed to take advantage of multi-core computing.. will I still see a speed surge when I run them on such a computer?

Or... is the advantage of multi-core processor simply that I will be able to convert a powerpoint to pdf AND play Oblivion at the same time with no detrimental effect on framerate.. but it will be just the same experience if I *didn't* run a 2nd process (i.e. converting stuff to pdf).

Thanks!!!!

I have a 4 year old computer who's power supply just took a dump. I removed the hard drive and put it in a different computer so that I can access the data.
I placed the old hard drive into the other computer as a slave. How can I access the files in the old drive?
I clicked on the "c:drive" on MY COMPUTER. It listed the folders of all the users in the old hard drive but it does not list the files that were on the old drive.

Please help.

OK, so I've had my somewhat rubbish AMD AthlonXP 2000+ PC for five years now, and I'm upgrading to a Intel Core 2 Q6600. It has 2GB DDR2 RAM, and a 512mb nVidia 8500GT graphics. My current PC has around 700mb RAM, and some 128mb graphics.

Now obviously it's more powerful, but what will the difference be like? Will it be like a 1.1litre Vauxhal Corsa racing a Bugatti? Or is that a little bit too drastic?

However, it says the Q6600 only has a clock speed of 2.4GHz - hardly impressive. What do four cores do, and how does this processor perform against high-end single-core CPUs? You know, the ones with clock speeds of like 3.6GHz etc
