I have an old computer with a Celeron 1700 Socket 478 type CPU. I wanted to see if I could upgrade it to a Pentium4 3.0GHZ since they are soo cheap second hand these days. So I borrowed a friend's Pentium4 Socket 478 CPU, plugged it into my motherboard, and the computer didn't turn on. Nothing at all on the screen. Only the fans start when the computer is turned on. I took the P4 out put my old Celeron 1700 back in and everything works fine. Now doing some research on the web I realize there are many compatibility issues out there and not every motherboard will work with every CPU even when the CPU socket type is right. So my question is:

By plugging in a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz Presscott CPU into an older socket 478 motherboard that didn't support it, did I electrically damage anything ? In other words, my computer seems to work fine with the old CPU back in there but did I damage my good friend's P4?

regular 400 mghz pc 3200 memory? My new mobo uses that kind of memory (ddr). It is going on a gigabyte mobo with a Sempron 1.80 processor socket 754. It can handle 3 gigs. At least thats what the mobo schematics say. I bought this mobo 3 years ago but kept it in the box.

I was wondering if an external hard drive can be used like an internal hard drive. For instance if I had no internal hard drive can I buy a external hard drive like this one http://e3wwwtest.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136059 that only powers up using a usb cable and expect it to work the same as an inernal hard drive. Like can I use it to play games and surf the net or is an external hard drive only used for storage.

I have found a couple of x1650 cards but I want to know which is the best that will not give me hassle(drivers). And I think the most common problem in Radeon I see is they have HOT cards, bad drivers(picky), pretty much I'm concerned of the heat. So I want to ask which card is the BEST in terms of Heat, Drivers, ect.? Remember under $100!!!

I asked how to correct this. I took my computer to Best Buy and they checked it for free. Then they informed me my computer had a virus, in fact two. They removed them and now my computer works fine. I had to leave it there for about a week and it cost me about $200 bucks. So this particular Geek squad did help. Thanks all of you guys for your advise.

I have a ati radeon 1600X graphics card and a windows xp,and im positive it is not whats causing the lag because I played the games before ( mostly counter strike source) and it ran very smoothly on high graphics settings, then at one point i just started getting alot of lag and fps. I turned off other applications, I defragged my computer, i have no idea why it would just start lagging for no apparent reason, also i have a good internet connection and thats also not the problem, p.s i already said this, but I used to play it fine, i changed nothing, and it just started to have low fps and lag heeeelp

I'm thinking about getting a Mac computer, because I heard they don't crash.
I have a HP computer right now. With even with my virus protection I have on my Hp, and every so often when my child gets codes for games or myspace we get some type of virus.
Will I have this problem with a Mac?

I currently have 80gb hd on my Dell Dual core Desktop. I plan to buy a 500gb hd and replace the 80gb hd.

Is there a way to mirror all the contents of my 80gb HD on to my new 500gb HD and then merely remove the 80gb and make the 500gb my primary HD on my desktop ?

I am trying to avoid starting from scratch on the new 500gb HD.

Me and my sister have just been bought a OS X Mac 10.4.10 each and we want to be able to play The Sims 2. So far we have installed it and when you try and build it floods the screen with blue and flashes blue. Also it has a few errors such as doors not being placed even though they are where they're meant to be.

I have downloaded about 3 patches which havent worked. Although I did just download one from macgamefiles I think it was, installed it and now it says theres not enough room to run the sims 2.

Has anyone else had these problems? Did you manage to sort them? Will we be able to play it??

Please answer if you know, thanx in advance :)
