It certainly seems so. I'm hoping it will run games on the Doom 3 engine at medium settings, and handle Vista smoothly on the 2GB of ram. Thoughts?

I have purchased an adaptor that links my laptop hard drive to my PC via USB. I need to recover data from this drive as my laptop is no longer working. When connected it displays all folders/files apart from my personal folder in the Documents and Settings section. It says 'Access is denied'. Would this be because I had a user name and password to log on to my laptop? Are there any ways of getting round this does anybody know? My laptop ran Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition and I just set up a username and password myself in Control Panel.

I have heard that Dell hardware is kinda selective and is only compatible with other Dell Hardware. I want to start building my own computers, but think maybe buying a new Dell and adding to it piece by piece is a good place to start before I build one from scratch. Do you agree? And is it possible to add other-party hardware like a GeForce video card to a Dell machine? Thanks a lot.

I am using Windows XP SP2, im just wondering why it always scan my (SLAVE) hard drive (NTFS) everytime i'm rebooting even though i shut down my machine properly...

yeah, the message said that it will scan due to "inconsistency..." whatever... and not from improper shutdown..

it will undergo 3 scan operation (index, security descriptor...etc)

I've reformat my SYSTEM DRIVE (not the drive that i've mentioned above) before because of that annoying problem.. thinking that the problem is in the system files itself... at first it was okay but after a less a than week, there goes the scanning again...

there is one last resort that im thinking: Reformat the SLAVE DRIVE (320GB)..but at present i don't have other 'storage device' to temporarily backup my files before reformatting...

anyone got a clear shot? pls. let me know.. tnx

Hi

The size of my current PC is starting to frustrate me so I am toying with the idea of downgrading size to a shuttle/cub pc.

I currently use a DFI-Lan party Ultra D which has been a superb motherboard, however i dont really use it to its full poitential and am thinking of ditching the amd 3000+ Processor and going for a Dual Core 3800.

I want to find a board that is reliable and represents good value - I understand that overlcoing pcs in shuttle pcs is a no go hence the idea to upgrade to a dual core and keep it at the locked speeds.

If anyone has an info it would be much appreciated.

Okay so a few days ago my computer was infected with something and my background was replaced with this spyware warning thing. I got rid of the pop ups(error cleaner, etc.) as well as the background but now my background is blank white. How do I get my background back?

I know my explanation probably doesn't make sense but that's b/c I'm not entirely sure as to what happened/went wrong.

I have an older HP 6545C (Celeron 500, 96megs of ram, Sound Blaster PCI, ATI 6500 PCI with 64 megs of VRAM, ethernet controller) that I'd like to put to use, but I'm not sure how. I've thought of these things so far, but none of them really seem to work for me:

-Linux box. But it's a little too underspec'd for that, plus I already have Linux running on 3 of my other computers.
-MAME/Emulators. Once again, underspec'd.
-Home server. But I'd rather not leave any computer running all the time, and we already have one we're using as such.
-Take it apart. But I already know how they go together (I built my own recently.)

Any other thoughts than these...?

This is how its written in the manual specification:does it mean every core has 2-GHZ or bot cores of the processor.

The power died in my PC running on XP, and I'm told I need a new motherboard and processor. There are files and photo's I'd like to save, but the repair centre is suggesting a new pc as an option. Can I still save the files. Any thoughts?
