A friend wants to burn cds but he doesn't want to keep internet. Would it be possible to burn them with it?
Also. Does burning cds and dvds wear down the computer at all?

I thought it may just be that one game, but then I tried other games, and it did the same, I scanned for viruses and everything and I have none, and have plenty of space for the game, anyone know what could be wrong? =/

What should I do here?


Get two of these xfx 8600 cards http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3048552&Tab=11&NoMapp=0

OR Should I get one of these bad boys http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2824836&Sku=E145-8008

I am not an intense gamer...at all. I play sim city, rise of nations, halo, counterstrike, flight simulator.
I should be more than fine with the xfx8600 right. It seems really nice? RIGHT?

I have two Maxtor Personal Storage Portable Hard drives and one of them for some reason is acting weird. The one that is messed up is the 80 gig hard drive. I am unable to right click anything on that hard drive and when I do it freezes and become unresponsive for about 2 minutes. I have enough space on it and I mainly store music on it. I had defragmented the hard drive but that didn't do anything. Also, when I unplug the power and plug it back the autoplay instead of taking like 1 min it takes about 15 min and I can see all of the individual files load. Any suggestions?

I want to know the difference between the raid controller that is build into a motherboard, (let's say one of those high end one) compare to buying a raid controller that cost as much as the motherboard it self ($150+)

Is there a speed difference? performance difference? etc?

thanks

I used a software to overclock my RAM and CPU. I used a programme to do it and have a feeling this is causing my "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT" stop errors.

Does anyone know how I can change it back? I can't remember the programme I used.

Ever since I got a new Hard Disk, my computer has noticeable slowdowns and freezes, and basically is unstable. I have no idea about the speed of my drive, but the old one had 35 gigs, and the new one had 75. There is a three year gap between the two HDs.

When i install a new hard drive on my computer what do i have to do with the existing one that also contains the operating system? to i have to change the jumper? Or leave it like it came when i bought the computer ? Also the new one? does it have to be set to slave or something? Are the jumper placement important in this matter?

This is a simple question and youll pry think im a moron for asking this but i want to know before i go spend the money on this powers supply. so, heres my question: on power supplies with a 20 + 4 pin main power connector does the extra 4 pins snap or come off so you can make it 20 pin to connect to a 20 pin atx motherboard. sorry for such a simple question and im pretty sure i already know the anser but figured i would ask anyway.

I recently bought an Nvidia Geforce FX5500 PCI card with 256MB DDR memory from my friend. When i install it in my computers PCI slot the fans and hard drives and everything spin up but nothing comes on the screen and the power led does not come on. When i re-install my old AGP graphics card (a Geforce 2 lol) the computer boots up and runs perfectly. i have the driver for the card installed from the Nvidia website, so thats not the problem... I am thinking this is a problem with the card or the powersource but would like a second oppinion. my friend also said the card might of been static zapped, and i hope thats not the case, but i would get my money back if thats what happened.

My system:
1 Western Digital 40 GB hard drive
1 Maxtor 10 GB hard drive (slave)
1 CD-RW Drive
1 DVD Drive
Stock Motherboard (Emachines)
AMD XP 2200+ processor
Nvidia Geforce 2
Windows XP SP2 with all updates

I'm looking at a computer with this processor on it
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E4300 (1.8GHz, 800 FSB).
I don't know much about the Intel Core 2Duo line, so i was wondering if this is fast or not. How does this compare with the fastest that is out right now?
