I just did a minor upgrade by replacing my processor, old one was a p4 1.6ghz and the new one i just tossed in is p4 2.4ghz

problem is , i downloaded the intel processor ID tool and it says


................... Expected ...................... Reported

Speed: ...........2.40 GHz ............ 1.81 GHz
System Bus: .........533 MHz .......... 400 MHz
L2 Cache Memory: ............. 512kb



so it seems the new processor i tossed in aint working at full specs,
do i have to upgrade my bios possibly?

*note* i didn't change MB, just the processor


would appreciate any help on this.. thanks

today i was trying to download a file but all of a sudden it said no space in my drive. then i opened the properties of my hard drive and i saw that all the space was used but that is impossible. then i went to add or remove program and added all the space that the software and other stuff in my computer takes up. it was 7 gb altogether but my hard drive is 69 gb. then i opened my pictures folder properties and it was 2.18 gb. but all the things in my hard drive takes up only about 9.18 gb but my hard drive is 69 gb. and if i count all the other file it would probably be like 10 gb. what is wrong?

at work (in IT) we sometimes have to destroy hard drives - but they're made out of loads of things, including metal etc - so what are they made of, and are the metal parts any good for recycling/reusing?

the first one is sold at 130, the second one is sold at 90 dollars.

i just want to build a computer that i can use to browse the internet, a little photo editing, watch some dvd.

i was thinking about the 130 package, but now this 90 dollars seems even better. are they any different since the chip is the same amd chip?

I want to get a new computer with an AMD processor, cos I've heard they're pretty goodI'm lost, they should come with a sticker saying "this is the equivalent to a Pentium" or "this is the equivalent to a Core 2 Duo" - joke. I also don't understand how to judge their speed in relation to their Intel counterparts.

Please help!

I have slowly rebuilt my computer over time from a store bought one years ago, right now it has no old hardware from when I bought it, even a new case. :)

Right now I have a this motherboard;
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1559072&CatId=182

A 3.2ghz intel celeron cpu they don't even sell anymore.

2GB DDR DIMM

and this gfx card http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1641739&CatId=697

My problem is the performance of my computer in games like World of Warcraft. My frame rate is usually 15-20 which I know is horrible. Right now the only option I see to fix the problem would be to buy a new gfx card which would have to be the new PCI express kind which would mean I need a new motherboard which would also require a new CPU and ram... which is quite costly.

Do you guys know of any other way I could go about increasing the performance to something more like 50-70 fps, cheaper?
