I have the memory and am looking for the motherboard. I know this is unusual, but please ignore that. I'm not trying to build a cutting edge machine, just something that can use the memory and is better than my current 1Ghz utility machine. Any ATX or micro ATX motherboard I can currently buy is fair game. Dual IDE (four devices) preferred, but two is OK.

I'm confused on which will actually be faster or better. I'm trying to decide on computer and based on what I have read it seems the corsair will be faster. Is that correct? Can some one explain? Much Thanks.

here's the problem. I had viruses and someone tried putting one of those free download virus protection things on and that worked for about 2 days. I can't restore my active desktop no matter how many times I restart my computer, I can't even access my control panel. Should I get my harddrive cleaned or should I buy a new one?

I am opening up a lan gaming center and would like to start off with 40 high end computers. It looks like I will be going threw dell for all my comp leaseing. They will be PC's and need to be able to run the top of the line newest games at the highest graphics set. Now I can get comps that are all that for about 5000 dollars but I want ones that are more affordible. So my question is what dont I need in these high end computers. Its so hard today to know what is actually "needed." So processer type, Video Cards, Memory types. all that jazz. I know a good deal about comps but some of this new stuff has passed me by. Please let me know some good gaming rig set ups and possible prices.

I just built a new computer for the livivng room and its replacing the old one my sisters broke. It turns on and starts up goes to the hit f1 to continue or del for bios blah blah...i hit f1 and insert the XP disc and it says "Boot from CD _" then it says "boot disc failure enter system disc and hit enter"

I changed the boot order in the bios to Cd rom drive and tried it again....same thing happened. I tried to make my own bootable CD with windows on it still the same thing....

I didnt put in a floppy disc drive....theres only 1 HDD and cd rom drive....i tried puttin in the disc after the messege i changed a bunch of stuff in the bios then changed it back.....I have no idea what could be wrong now.

In the bios it says it detects the CD rom drive and the HDD (which is clear cuz i just bought it new)

Im so frustrated because it seems everytime i do something like this it never goes smoothly!!

Im going to go try to use a different CD rom drive right now....
thanks alot.

I have a really old motherboard with a really old bios chip on it and I want to replace it with a newer BIOS chip from my other newer motherboard. I want to know if it is at all possible to remove it and replace it. I don't know if the following information will help but It might be good for something:
-the chip is rectangular on both the old and newer motherboards.
-the older bios is version 4.51pg and for some reason it recognizes the hard drive and it's capacity but when I try to install any operating system on it, it will set it up and then restart but then I'll get the following message, "NTLDR not found, press key to restart".
-there are no problems with the newer BIOS chip, however the motherboard it's on has a broken integrated video connector.

I need a list of all the parts needed to build a computer. Preferably specific reccommendations of any parts you feel work really well.

I already have a laptop but I have to play World of warcraft with all settings on minimum an I still get lag sometimes, avg 14 fps and alot of the times 7-9 fps. It's simply horrid.

So I want to buy w.e parts I need for a gaming laptop or desktop. It will be just for gaming and nothingelse, no internet browsing, no music, no movies, nothing but gaming.

Hi,

Just wondering, what is the purpose of having memory speeds so high, i.e. anything more than 667mhz, if processors such as made by Intel, have a FSB of only 1333Mhz. Obviously, if you use 800mhz memory, and the processor's front side bus is only 1333mhz, the memory will only run at 667 in any case. I don't see the point in people paying so much extra for higher speed memory, when they cant utilize it anyways. wouldn't it just be better to get an amd as they dont use fsb? any info would be appreciated, as im trying to decide on weather to build a amd 6400+ system, or a q6600... thanks! :)
