if yes, will it outperform or stand at par with a graphics card that has 256M of dedicated memory with a 1.5 or 1.0 GB RAM?

Hi, when my PC (only 1yr old) starting ticking and freezing, then wouldn't start to XP at all, PC World replaced my hard-drive (stepdad builds his own PCs and put it in for me), re-installed XP, programs etc. Now I have no sound. I've been to device manager all the troubleshoots etc. and I have deduced that I have NO audio device at all apparently. Would it come in the hard drive / on the recovery XP disk or do I have to 'get one' seperately. I don't know much about this. Drivers aren't the problem I don't think, there is nothing to 'drive' so to speak. Can I download what I'm missing? Stepdads out! Hence me asking - has anybody any idea what I'm trying to describe? And how to fix it?
Also system restore just goes to 'not responding' anything to do with system does the same. Do I need to take this XP off and install it again fresh? Or is there something wrong with this hard drive aswell? I get re-boot messages on start up sometimes - any ideas? It's not viruses.. as NOD32 is on there

i have obviously a tower pc, 1 sony dvd rom drive and a sony dvd rw. I want to remove the Rom drive as its abit dodgy and install this pioneer in its place, so i took off the side casing, unscrewed the rom drive, and simply plugged in my new sparkly pioneer using the existing leads......NOTHING,,,,not a sausage, apparently the pc cant find where to boot from now. SO, i then went into the boot set up (f11) and when i look for my hard drive its not in the list, so i then just put the old drive back in as it was and everything boots up again as it did! what the hells wrong? please somebody help

When I turn my computer off, the power light goes off as usual. But, a throbbing starts up, which doesn't go away at all, until I turn the computer back on. Also, the orange light (I think it is a 'hard disk indicator light'?) flashes continuously whilst the computer is off. Any ideas?

I bought a PC at the beginning of the year. It was advertised as being 3.06ghz. I noticed in the system properties that it is only running at 1.61ghz (checked with other program). There are no jumper switches on the motherboard for altering bus speed, and no settings within the BIOS for changing multipliers. I have taken off the heatsink to check it is actually a 3.06 (it is stamped on the top of the CPU). I think it is too late to send the computer back now. So what would i need to get to make it run a full speed? New motherboard? Is the chip even capable of running at that speed?? Any help much appreciated.

I took my computer into a shopand asked to save what was on the computer ...they said okay but they crashed their equipment and my info was wiped. Well I know it is still there I spent $100 to have it checked ...so I didn't use it as I wanted to retain the info. Pictures of a child we lost. the quote was 1200$US I don't have that and wondered if things are less expensive now...that was about 2 years ago. Thanks

This is my first computer built, and its definately NOT running near its full performance already. I used an Athlon 3400, a Biostar NF4ST-A9 motherboard, A Patriot 512mb RAM stick, and a EVGA Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 video card. Could you possibly find the problem from those given specs? I cant stand this terrible lag. I have a suspicion that it is the video card, and maybe I need another stick of RAM to get it to perform better, but I want to know the problem before trying to switch anything. It also has an 80 GB hard drive if it helps. Also, will removing the video card cause any software changes or can I just remove it and the motherboard will automatically use the one built in on the bus?
