This may seem daft but I'm not sure if my intel pentium 4 3.06ghz processor is dual core or not, the pc was bought new about a year ago. When I view system information it shows the processor info twice, also when I go to device manage it shows the information twice as if there are 2 processors (dual core) can anyone shed any ligt as to if this all means I actually have a dual core processor. cheers.

I came across a couple of 7 foot long slide rules. They are "Pickett" brand and made of wood. Does anyone have any idea WHY Pickett would make these? Are they worth anything? They are too bulky and heavy to really use.

does that mean that the cooler is included in the price? the tray version means only the processor itself?

I'm looking for a way to link multiple HDDs together to work as one large drive in windows.

Example: Three 500GB drives working together to make a 1.5TB "F:\" drive.

Is there a way to do it in the windows OS without buying any hardware besides the hard drives?

I have a laser mouse, and my mousemat just keeps getting all ruffled up and sliding off my desk. Should I just put it in the bin? Are mousemats just relics of a bygone age of computing?

I have decided to get an ati radeon x1300 256 mb agp card, which supports 8x/4x agp. I am upgrading from a intel 32 mb pci card, so it will be a big improvement. I do have an agp slot.

My question is, where do i look to find out what type of agp slot i have (2x, 4x or 8x)? Also, where do i look to find out how many watts my power supply is? Apparently it requires a 350 watt. Thank you all.

I had a previous question open about my computer that randomly decided to not turn on after 4 months of no usage whatsoever. I recently turned it on to install a new DVD burner in it and turned it off. Next day, it won't turn on. Now it's happened before, and usually I just unplug everything and plug it back in. Not this time. Now, I tried unplugging ALL the components from my motherboard: DVD Drive, HDD drives, Graphics Card, RAM, all of it. Now my CPU fan turns on, spins a little then seems to lose power but before it loses all power it spins a little again. Is the problem that my PSU is dying and it can only operate the CPU fan on my mobo? Because I tested the PSU in another computer (a lot less powerful, 800mHz processor) and it worked fine.
Here are my system specs: 2.66Ghz cpu, 256mb radeon 9550 graphics, 1gig RAM, 2 HDD totaling to 100gigs, and 1 DVD burner/reader/etc. (Hand-built, not bought from store)
Older system that i tested: 800mhz cpu, 256RAM, 64mb GeForce,10gigHD,CD
