If i compress my hard drive will it affect performance? I know it frees up space by compacting the information , but how does it differ from a disk defragmenter?

yeah, iknow there are plenty of other ways to transfer files (like with a flash drive), but it's a long, complicated disaster of a tech situation. one that can only result from my 65 year old "what's a mouse?" mother and the brand new top o' the line computer she decided to buy...

Yea this is not a question.

I get it.

I am just sick of people telling other people that the reason their ram is not working is because "It needs to be in pairs, LOL".

Simm memory modules and RDRAM modules are the ONLY MEMORY VERSIONS THAT REQUIRED PAIRING. BOTH OF WHICH ARE NO LONGER USED FOR SYSTEM MEMORY.

Current memory modules do not require pairing.

Though you can get a performance benefit out of running a matched pair of memory in Dual Channel mode.

BUT IT IS NOT REQUIRED!


Sorry, I just needed to get that out. Boy do I feel better.

I am looking to get a screen card for this motherboard.
I need S-video to watch TV and also want to play some games.
Notice it can be AGP X 8 compatible.
The MB site is
http://www.asrock.com/mb/vga.asp?Model=P4i45GV%20R5.0
The site might be old.
What do you recommend?
Maybe 256 MB cards wont work?
thanks

Hi folks. Quick question.. I currently am running my custom built PC with an Asus m2n-sli deluxe motherboard and AthlonX2 5200. I would like to upgrade both to an EVGA 680i mobo and a Core 2 Duo E6600.. Can I simply move all my components like RAM, Video card, and will my PC boot Windows the same way as before- just faster?

I consider myself to be fairly proficient when it comes to building my own PC's. I've done it since I was 18 (now 30), with numerous upgrades in between. Granted, I usually have to learn the latest technology when I do build a new system, and that's usually no problem. However, I haven't been able to grasp the RAID concept. After researching what RAID is, I think I understand it's uses, but why would an everyday home PC user need RAID? Sure, I got the fault protection benefits with some of the levels of RAID, but if I'm backing up my sensitive & important data on a regular basis, what's the point? Is there really that much of a performance boost when using a mirrored array? I don't host a website, so I don't need constant data availability. To me, it just seems that doing regular back-ups is much easier than trying to set up and manage a RAID array. I ask these questions becuse I am currently building a new system, & trying to fix a friend's, & I suspect a bad RAID confg. THX

I'm not sure what exactly it takes for building a computer that can render really fast. I'm starting to work with Poser 7 and rendering is sloooow. I was looking at whether to build one fast machine or use two moderately fast for rendering, since Poser 7 can utilize them. Also, not really sure the quality of a video card will help render faster, maybe a set ATI new Crossfire, or high performance dual ram from OCZ, I really don't Know, your help would be greatly appreciate, Thanks!

PS, I'm looking to build with the AMD X2 6000 and use 2 serial ata 300 and with a Abit or Asus MB that supports 2000 FSB.
