Some of the newer games have been slamming my 2.8 Ghz processor at 100% and keeping it there. I recently downloaded a game and the RECOMMENDED speed was 500 MHz... does the CPU try to compensate for an old graphics card?

My C Drive crashed, and i need a new one. Can i get any kind or does it have to be compatible with my computer. I understand somewhat about computers. Oh, and is this hard drive any good?

Thankyou in advance.

i know a 2.5" drive can be easily held in a hard and is very portable, but can the same be said of the 3.5" hard drive. What would the average dimensions be of either?

one of the employees here disabled norton antivirus for a small period of time. The computer turned off and when we rebooted it, EVERYTHING had disappeared, EVERYTHING!!! None of my documents were saved, nothing, its as if i had just bought the computer within the hour. Microsoft and all other programs had to be reinstalled. It was like a brand new computer. PLEASE somebody help and tell me I can (and how i can) recover all or part of my documents. PLEASE help...thanks!

Hey,
Basically i got myself a computer a few weeks back, which i've gradually been upgrading, with a new disk drive, and today i recieved a new (basic model) creative sound card. I currently believe the computer i am using to have no sound applications installed, at least when i attempt to play a c.d. it fails, and when i do dxdiag it says that there is no sound device available.
So today i tried to install this sound card, i plugged the sound card into what i believe to be called a 'pci' slot and connected the cd wire into the appropriate socket.
However when i then turned the computer on i was unable to get any signal, basically i could not get a picture to come up on my screen. (which is currently being done through my graphics card via a dvi to hdmi wire)
I am quite baffled as to why this is, and any help would be greatly apprieciated!
Thanks
Kris

I would say Dells are the best prebuilt systems, but I prefer making my own.

eMachines, I treat like McDonalds....only if there is no other choice, or if I'm desperate. I had a client w/ one a few months ago....Crappy, in my opinon.

My PC has a normal CD drive so I can't watch DVDs; my friend just gave me a DVD-Rom drive and my PC doesn't have an extra drive slot. Can I just open the PC, unplug the CD drive I have and plug in the DVD-Rom drive so that I could start watching DVDs on my PC? Do I need a sofwatre or I can get one free online?

He also gave me a TV card; what's that for and how does it work? Does this also need a software?

I have a Seagate 36 GB SCSI 10K RPM Ultra3 Hard Drive, a sATA 320 gig and an IDE 250gig. I know IDE is slower, but will there be a big difference between having the SCSI as my primary drive vs having the sATA as my primary drive? The sata is 7200 rpm. Which am I better off with?

I have a compaq EVO CMT d510 (same as d510).
Here is the link for the spec's on the PC:

http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11349_div/11349_div.HTML

I don't know what I'm looking for though :-(

It currently has a 1.99ghz processor.. but for the sake of playability on some games, I'd like to upgrade. I'm not sure what I can upgrade to though, or if I can at all. Anyone who could help would be greatly appreciated. Are there any sites that will tell me this info?


Thanks!

I have a Gateway GT5012. I know that it uses DDR2 PC4200 and has 1 gig installed. I have 2 open slots and would eventually like to max out to 4 gig. To spread out the cost, I would like to fill the 2 open slots with 2 1 gig sticks. I know I have to install DDR2 in pairs, but will it work with 2 1 gig sticks and 2 512mb sticks? Also Best Buy advertises a Kingston tech 1 gig stick that will operate at both PC5300 and PC4200. Is this a good choice, or should I buy sticks that are specifically designed for PC4200? Other specs include an Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz processor, Raedon x1650 pro 512mb DDR2 video card. Sound card will come later, probably purchased at same time as RAM.

What I really want to know is if I will absolutely need to buy a graphics card to see anything at all. The motherboard(s) I'm concerned about is the Asus P5N SLI & SLI-E.
