I had to format/reinstall XP. Now the Nvidia GEForce-4000 is not doing well. Earlier I used to get to activate the card from "Settings" tab in Desktop properties box - but now it doesn't show there. Do I have to uninstall/reinstall the card? The NVidia CD looks pretty confusing - no idea which driver to install. My video and audio are not running in sync anymore :(

Given that a Mac is way more expensive than a PC, does the difference justify the price? It seems as though Macs users are militantly loyal to Apple. I know apple has done a great advertising job associating it's brand as "cool, hip, young, trendy" and all that stuff while the PC is for boring accountant types. But is this just marketing or is there any real reason why designers prefer Mac?

first off is AMD vs. Intell iv read that Intell is clearly ahead of the game but is better for applications other then gaming.... AMD is the better gaming choice as far as i understand...yes? no? ok so heres my idea of spec.
AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400+ dual core Socket AM2 ($209)

not sure whats the better MoBo (must be AM2) <-- big question. ($50-$150) (there is a Biostar NF520-A2 nForce 520 socket AM2 $70 but its a cheap POS)

Radeon x1550 512Mb 16x PCI Express video ) definitly up to advice

400 GB 7200RPM SATA 8MB cache (of couse this is always negotiable and the easiest thing to change for final build)

the rest is just preference after that but im gonna try to keep it within $500 by building it myself

If you built a gaming machine (or 10) give me some ideas on what better choices could be... thanks in advance :)

I can open up the CD drives but there's no signal to the moniter. The keyboard doesn't come on either. I replaced the power supply about a year ago. What could be wrong. It froze up on my while I was checking my e-mail. I couldn't rebot so I just closed it down but holding the power button down. but I wasn't able to rebot

Which do you think is a better choice? The 7600GT (256MB) is faster in most benchmarks, however, the HD2600PRO (512MB) is Dx10 compatible and has double the memory size of the nVidia. The ATI version is better at running programs, but is it a good ideea to get one instead of the faster nVidia model?

Western Digital. Too lazy to get the model number. Just curious to see if anyone has had this problem in the past or has had experience. I have the shell in the open within 3 feet of my ear so I hear all the pops and churns it does. The hard drive this morning is making more of a popcorn noise when loading data. It sounds like static + popcorn popping but I dont smell anything, see anything, or hear anything else other than the noise. I have 2, and one is about 1 year old and the other is a few months and both Western Digital.

Ive got thermal take case, thermal take PSU that is well enough power to power the whole system and intel MB with 4 gigs ram. I am open for opinions. Networking is my strong point but hardware I slack on. :-)
