Desktops - October 2007

Hi, i am confused on the differences between Intel's and AMD's implementation of Quad-Core virtualisation. Am I right in understanding that when *not* using a multi-threaded application, that each application only gets assigned one core, but AMD's version utilizes all four cores even with single threaded applications? And if so, do all AMD quad-core CPU's support this? Thanks.

Recently i encountered some serious problem with my computer (MODEL: HP dx5150 MT). Sometimes the computer would not start up when i press the switch-on button. Instead, the LED below the switch will flash red five times, once every second, followed by a two second pause, and the computer beeps five times. Strangely, this seems to happen only on alternate days. My computer is currently working normally but the problem will surface again on the next day. The red flashing will occur again and the screen will not display anything, not even the boot menu (Note that my monitor is working properly). I have done the troubleshoot online. It says that the problem lies in the memory, which is installed incorrectly or is bad. Solving the problem will require the resetting of DIMMs and the replacing of system board. I am really getting fed-up with this problem. It is really affecting my school's project work and i had to use the CPUs in school everyday to do my project.... HELP me please!!!

I'm about to build a well runnning yet low-cost computer.

The graphics card I'm about to order is the Diamond Viper ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO 512MB . The specs on this beast is amazing but I'm not so sure if it's good with gaming. But it handles Direct X10 so it should work great right?

I'm looking to put together a new PC, and I decided to go with a PNY 8800 GTS video card. However, I've heard that its large size is just too big for some cases.
Does anyone know if this video card will fit in a Lian-Li PC-6X series case?

Thanks,

This computer came with 128MB of RDRAM, which is far more expensive than SDRAM.

Is there a way to use another type of ram with this motherboard?

The other ram that I have does not fit in the computer.

Hello, atm I'm using an Asus P5GD1 Pro, which is a really old mobo holding an old prescott P4. This thing is like 2 years old, back when duo cores wasn't mainstream (or didn't exist). I noticed that all the new Intel stuff still use the exact same socket, so its probably possible to shove a duo core in my mobo. But would it work? And if so is it worth it?

I want to sell my desktop computer. Problem is it completely stopped working,and the price to fix it would cost about as much as a new one but other wise it is in good shape as far as appearance. So question is anyone know of anyplace that would by a computer that's not working? Obviously I know I wouldn't probably get very much for it. Also what should I do about my hard drive with all my personal info on it?

This was actually a replacement video card from a supposed faulty NVIDIA card. The original motherboard was also replaced prior to the graphics card replacement.

Everytime i try to play an installed game with 3D graphics, it freezes and I have to restart.
2D games play fine and no problems with video playback.

I sense theres a problem with the video card processing or the processor itself. The fan is running fine on the card and so is the CPU fan.

Do you think it could be a problem with the CPU? motherboard? graphics card?
