I'm currently comparing two Alienware computers, the Area-51 7500 and the Aurora 7500. They are essentially the same computer, but the Area-51 is Intel-based and the Aurora 7500 is AMD-based. I've got two questions regarding overall performance:

1.
The Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz 2MB Cache 1066MHz FSB
vs.
The AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 5600+ Processor w/ HyperTransport and Dual Core Technology.

The Intel costs $300 more, but the AMD is a "higher-end" processor among AMD's line. I'm wondering if the Intel is worth the extra $300, and how good performance would be for both processors.

2.
256MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8600 GTS
vs.
320MB NVIDIA® GeForce™ 8800 GTS - "Superclocked"

The 8800 costs $180 more than the 8600, and the graphics card would only be used for light gaming (e.g. the occasional Age of Mythology) and Aero. My main question is how the performance compares between the two graphics cards, not just for Age of Mythology, but also for more intense games.

I had to restore my system yesterday, but I didn't really lose anything, except for some hard drive space. Someone suggested defragmenting. What does this do?

Here they are:

Motherboard - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131013
Processor - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103747

I am aware that the processor is out of stock, there's not need to remind of that. The thing I'm worried about is the FSB. The processor says 2000MHz, and the mobo says it supports 1000MHz. Will there be any speed reduction at all, or is the 2000MHz just 2 x 1000MHz because the CPU is dual core? Thanks in advance.

Currently, I have an old Dell Dimension 8200 1.8ghz with 768 MB of ram and a Geforce 5900fx. The computer I'm looking to build is as follows:

PC CHIPS A11G V1.0 Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Brisbane 1.9GHz Dual Core

Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel

SAPPHIRE Radeon X1650PRO 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card

Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

350 Watt power supply

With all the rebates and discounts I was able to find, I'll be able to build this system for $275. That's the best price I've seen in a long time. I'm kinda vague on how dual cores work compared to single-core, so will this system be a big step up and are there any conflicts I'm not aware of? Thanks!

My mom wants me to get a 64-bit processor laptop, but what I've heard is that 64-bit's aren't compatible with many games. So i told her I want a 32-bit. She says that since there are 2 kinds and what I understand after she screamed at me, that because 64-bit is a higher number, that 32-bit processors will soon be taken over by them. And that, if I do get a 32-bit that everything will soon be compatible for only 64-bits.

Is this true, cause I don't believe her, because XP is still being made for both 32-bit and 64-bit processors. And if 64-bits were taking over 32-bits then why would they make a vista 64-bit AND a 32-bit and why would NEW computers have 32-bit or 64-bit processors if 64-bit was "The way of the future"?

I just don't get it. Could ya help me out?

I wanna get a Dx10 card capable of running crysis mid-high with decent frame rates, naturally the 8600gts comes to mind. theres only 1 four pin power connector left though, and it takes two for the new PCI-e power connector conversion cable. so can I just dog it and plug in one? it is the 8600 so its not going to be sucking alot of power, and I was reading a review on pureoverclock.com which said even on load their comp wasn't drawing over 162 watts. I have an atholon x2 3800 too, which probably isn't as power hungrey as there Intel extreme whatever. any suggestions would be great thanks!

Every time I switch off my PC, I have to re-install my sound card. When I turn it on, sounds like windows logon and MSN alerts work, but music and videos dont and when I try and open things like iTunes I get a problem with audio/video config error.

If i double click the speaker in the task bar it says no active mixer devices available.
My sound card still appears in device manager.

Re-installing the driver app fixes this, but why do I need to do this after every reboot?


PS this start a while ago so I cant system restore point.

I know many people have asked this question, but I'd like specifics. Namely, learning a new operating system (Mac) scares me, and Windows Vista does too. I'd like to know what brand/model/extras I should invest in for college.

I will be a freshman at The Ohio State University studying in the biological sciences, maybe majoring in veterinary medicine, pathology, or molecular genetics (aka probably an 8 year program).

I'm not a big fan of the keyboards on laptops, along with the many problems they tend to have (overheating, theft, etc) but a desktop will take up much more room.

My final concern is the question; PC v. Mac. I understand that Macs have very few viruses and the system is relatively easy to learn, but my biggest concern is OSU doesn't have a strong tech support for Mac users. Also, what is the dish on Windows Vista. I've heard some horror stories, will it/has it gotten any better?
