Desktops - July 2007

So ppl (using pc's) will send me excel files using just plain ole Arial 12 pt. Yet when I open it up on my mac, the words will still be readable but the spacing is all messed up. Between certain letters in a word, it will have too much space or be too crunched up! This is driving me crazy and everyone just blames the macintosh! LOL I'm ready to resolve this issue once and for all!!! Please help! =)

I'm looking for a mid priced gaming computer...I know you can add graphics, memory, and hard drive later as long as the power supply can handle it.. so I guess I'm more interested in the type of prosessor to use and the diff. between them

I bought the package with the fan in it and the package came and it just had a fan and the processor, no thermal paste. The instructions dont mention, or show, putting on thermal paste before installing it and turning it on so I am wondering whether I need it or not.

I am a student of geography so I may be running some GIS programs. I will be doing all my personal photography throught the computer, as well a playing a few games. I will be doing word processing, excell apps, and other student/business style activities. I am leaning towards a dell because of the student discount through the university, but a bit nervous about first gen Vista.

Specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+2.7ghz
Nvidia 7800 SLi 256mb, 2 gb ram, 430 watt PSU, and Windows xp Pro.








So my computer has been overheating and freezing for awhile, I had gone through many steps to find out the problem by reinstalling software, reconnecting hardware, cleaning dust from internal parts and bought a new PSU but still to no avail.

I just ran a stress test from Prime95 and set it full fft's, and it was running at 100% CPU usage and it's froze within a minute. After, I checked it's temp and it was at 76c, motherboard was fine 40c.

It just overheats when using a lot of power, like when burning a cd, playing a graphics intensive game, or simply watching a video. Most times it ends up at 58c from the boot up, to 80c right when you start using a lot of power.

is it possibly a hardware failure? Please offer any suggestions on what to do if you can.

Thank You

What does, "... graphics with up to 623MB of video memory — 128MB dedicated..."
And, Video memory: 623MB
Video memory type: Partially shared ?

Does it mean it basically has 128 MB & takes the rest from the system or does it mean it does have 128 MB and can hold up to 623 MB?
I would be grateful in reasonable responses.

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, and its pretty slow now. I was wondering what i could do to speed it up. I'm pretty good with computers but I'm far from a pro. I have 512mb of memory, If I buy more memory will it speed up? (ex 1gb)? or is there something else i can do....?

when i first got my computer, i got battlefield 1942 and played it all the time, and it ran basically perfect (if i put setting on high, it would only lag a little). now, about 2 years after the purchase, nothing runs fast... AT ALL! it is completely slow, and i can't seem to fix it. i ran disk defragmentor, disk cleanup, a virus scan, a spyware scan, all sorts of registry cleaning tools (never fully purchased any though), and now im stumped. i also ran system restore, which i am pretty sure failed all three times i tried.

my system specs are:

processor- AMD Athlon 64 processor ~2.4 ghz
RAM - 896 GB
directX - latest direct x
video card - SiS 760 (latest drivers installed)
sound card - Realtek AC97 Audio

although, i have installed many demos between that time, then uninstalled them all on one day. before i ran the registry cleaners though!

I have just noticed this past week that my computer when idle is making random noises - sound effects - what is going on and how do I stop it? Virus scan has found nothing.
