I have Hyper Threading enabled on my Pentium 4 and I would like to know, since Hyper Threading creates two virtual cores, does each core run at half the speed? And what is the difference between using just one virtual core and the whole processor if HT is disabled?

I installed a new Maxtor 160gb SATA hard drive in my Dell Dimension 4600. I cannot get it to boot from the CD. (After adjusting the BIOS to the proper "boot sequence", of course.)

Anyone have any thoughts?

I am using Component cables, the red, blue and green one, and it won't work. I hook it all up, and when I switch it to my tv, I see my desktop background, but theres 2 of them, squished together with a black bar thats all messed up in the middle sperating them. Then, the color is super messed up, like, only green, red, and blue, but it looks like water painting pixalated or something...if that makes sense. I know its not the TV, or the Cord...and im fairly sure its not the card itself cause everything else works fine with it. So, how do I configure it or can I?

The specification mentions that the motherboard can only support Intel Pentium 4, Celeron D, Pentium D, and Core 2 Duo. Does it mean it will not support any CPUs from the Core 2 Extreme series? Because I thought the Core 2 Extreme's CPUs are also socket 775 while the motherboard I am looking at is also under the socket 775 category.

If I put in a disc, it doesn't work. The little light just flashes for about 1 minute, and then it goes off and nothing happens. It's probably broken, but the funny thing is about 2 months ago my first one packed up, so I had to buy this CD/DVD Rewriter. Now this ones wasted too. I want to know if there is anyway that I can check on the PC if it's broken? This might sound weird, but is there a way that I might of switched it off??? Please help me?? Thanks!

I recently formatted my hardrive, and I now cannot install many of my games that were previously on the computer (under the same OS). The installation gets part way through, and then says something along the lines of "This File does not match the file in the setup's .cab file The medium from which you are running the setup maybe corrupted."

This has happened with CD versions of Rome total war, Medieval Total War 2, Age of Empires 2, some random game I can't remember now and Morrowind 3.

Oddly enough i was able to install medieval total war and age of empires 1

Hello. My laptop was on ground. It had headphones attached to front. I stepped on the end of the headphones where it goes in and it was pushed down with my foot, pushing down the socket with it and now it is loose. when i put in headphones(no matter which ones) the sound is only heard on one side, and i can only get it a little bit on the other side when i fiddle with the socket. It works playing sound without headphones, but i need headphones for certain things.

How can I use my headphones properly? Is there any USB device which I cna plug in and connect headphones to?

i built a pc which contains a biostar p4m80-m4 motherboard,a p4 cpu 2.0ghz,a ati raedon 64mb grapics card with built in tv tuner,1 gig of ram.3 led fans with a 600 watt power supply.and 2 hard drives (40gigs & 200 gigs). I powered on the pc and nothing came on the screen but the settings for the monitor (i have a 19in crt viewsonic monitor) i have checked all the cables,power cables from the power supply,i left all the jumpers alone (still at default) and still when i turn on the power nothing happens.I refered to the motherboard manual for troubleshooting problems.I also noticed that there is no "beep" when i 1st boot the pc.The manual stated that one beep after boot means there is no errors to "post" but there is no beep when i boot,which means that post has noticed a problem.I believe it could be a problem with the video card,but im not sure what to do to see if it is the problem.My motherboard has no video embedded onto it. If someone could help me fix my problem that would bgreat

My computer is super slow (64mb RAM) I was thinking about purchasing more ram for the computer. I am not to savvy about computers so I was wondering if this should help my computer go much faster. Also, is it easy to install on your own? Would I be able to finally play a computer game?! lol thanks for your answers in advance.

My computer keeps turning itself off on its own, and from previous questions and answers, most people on Yahoo answers said it could be over heating. Would I have to buy a faster fan or something? I dont know much about computers so be gentle with me!!!!
