I have a sony laptop but I want to buy a desktop to do stuff with 3ds Max , AutoCAD, Adobe Software but I don't want it to be slow.

What are the specs I should pay the most attention to when buying a new computer? If you know please give me a brief description of how these specs would help me.

All was ok yesterday with no problems, I turned my computer on this morning and before windows loads it says

CMOS settings failed
CMOS memory failed

I get a choice between F1 (takes me to the set up screen)
of F2 which loads the default settings

F2 does load windows but the time and date are back to 2003!!!

Can anybody help please, I have scanned for virus's and spware etc to no avail,

I went onto crucial.com and get the following details

Motherboard - Elite Group (ECS) K7S5A (Rev 3.X)

Maximum Memory Capacity: 1024MB
Currently Installed Memory: 1GB
Available Memory Slots: 0
Number of Banks: 2
Dual Channel Support: No
CPU Manufacturer: AuthenticAMD
CPU Family: AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Model 8, Stepping 1
CPU Speed: 1244 MHz

And from another site I got the following info

AMI BIOS version 01.20. Daton 02.04.01


Thats all is over my head!!!!

If you can help PLEASE do???

Put in new fan but it is still not running. Have been informed that computer will overheat if kept in use with out fan running.

What could be the problem?

System boots perfectly with no errors.
Have a Dell Dimension 4300 (desktop).
Did a test to check hardware on computer--no alerts or errors.

Note: I don't hear the power supply fan running either but someone said that if this fan went out, nothing on the computer would not be able to work or even power on.

I have a plasma TV and it has got a RGB input. There is a few things i needed to know.

Firstly, Will I be able to connect my PC to my TV via the RGB slot in the back of my TV?

Secondly, Will the picture quality be good if I use my TV to watch films from my pc? (I have a 42" HD Ready LG plasma)

Thirdly, Is it possible to connect both my PC monitor and TV at the same but (I only want to watch films on the TV, the monitor will be used for everything else)


I have an acer T180 computer. It's a pretty good computer but it's all pretty standard stuff. no fancy graphics cards.


Thanks

Some people prefer Dells desktops and Gateways laptops. I tried out a Apple desktop before and it didnt a lot of sense like working with Windows computers.

I have been editing for a while and am finally buying my own machine. Since I've used machines at work I'm not really sure what to buy myself. I just want to know what will produce quality work that is also within a decent price. I have looked at the 20'' imac and am considering it, but would still like some feedback.

I have a bad processor in my Power Mac G-5, it will cost $504 for a authorized apple service person to fix. Can I buy the replacement and install it myself? What brand processor did they use before going to intel, because whatever brand is what I have.
