Desktops - August 2007

I hav tried to overclock my CPU by adjusting the multiplier, the frequency, and my CPU voltage (to stablize it all) but every little change i do causes my computer to crash and give me a blue screen that says that the chages cannot be applied. I tried making the smallest changes possible but it still crashes. I even tried using the "AI overclocking" feature which is supposed to be set to how the comp sees fit., it still didnt work.
plz help

I can't get my mini to startup at all, not even in safe mode. The gray screen shows up and the spinning wheel, but it continues to do that till I get frustrated and turn it off. Apple has a few support articles on this, but they are way too confusing for the average user.....and Applecare is closed as usual....any help would be appreciated!!

Its only 7 months old.....thanks!

The computer was working fine last night no noises or anything, and this morning our whole town block had a black out and the lights went out for about 2 minutes. When we turned it back on the buzzing noise started. I checked the back fans, they are working fine. I spoke to a person who works with comps and he said from hearing the noise that he thought maybe it was the front fan. My uncle thought maybe the harddrive was messed up. If the hard drive is messed up wouldn't the comp not work properly? Do you have any idea what this noise could be?

I want a computer that is between $500-800 without screen. I want something that will last for a long time and has good enough specs to play a game every once in a while and can eventually be upgraded. I want it mostly for school and some entertainment such as editing a few pictures and I do not want integrated graphics. I also DO NOT want a Mac. Also should I go for AMD or Intel for the CPU, and for the graphics ATI or Nvidia.

If a computer system is said to have for example an "intel 2 duo processor (1.8 Ghz)" does this mean it has 2 processors of 1.8 ghz speed, or 2 processors which combined give it a processing power of 1.8 ghz?

1st:
HP Pavilion A6152N
-Intel® Core™ 2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB)
-3GB Memory
-400GB Hard Drive
-SuperMulti DVD Burner
-Windows Vista Home Premium
Total Price (After taxes/shipping and rebate): Around $900

Or

2nd:
Dell Dimension 9200
-Intel® Core™ 2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB)
-2GB Memory
-350GB Hard Drive
-SuperMulti DVD Burner
-Windows Vista Home Basic
Total Price (After taxes/shipping and rebate): Around $900

Which one would you guys buy? Is Windows Vista Premium much better than the Basic one? How much would it cost me to add 1GB of ram myself to the Dell? What about in terms of quality? Is Dell generally higher quality than HP? Give me your thoughts! Thanks!
