My motherboard is a Asus m2n-sli deluxe. It said in the manual that I must plug the heatsink/fan into the CPU fan recepticle for system monitoring. The manual said that a 3 pin fan is backward compatible. Does that mean that I plug it in to the recepticle, allowing one pin on the mobo to stick out beside the heatsink/fan plug and wires? So, should I go ahead and plug it into the the CPU fan recepticle in the only way that it can?

My computer has been very uncooperative the last few days and last night I looked and the CPU usage was at 100%! I tried to run virus scan but the computer was too bogged down to slog through it. Anybody have any recommendations for what this is likely to be and how I should try to fix it?

Could someone please give me a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of an iMac and the latest Microsoft computer (im not sure if i should say Sony computer here instead of Microsoft...but i mean the software too, not just the hardware.)?

I´ve been searching around in the internet a lot, but unfortunately, i´ve only seem able to come across, either totally biased Apple-based or totally biased Microsoft-based answers and advice.

I´m just looking for the basic differences, whats better in what area, and such things. So, i´d really, really appreciate any objective help you could give me. :)

Thank you in advance. :)

Like just now, I start up my PC, and they both work fine. Yesterday (and a couple of times in the last few days), it's like they don't exist. They won't open, and Windows Explorer doesn't see them. A re-boot makes no difference.

I got a centrino duo which is a intel dual core processor and i got F.E.A.R. just recently and the game runs ok not as fast as i would like. So i decided to check if the game was running on both cores because i know the rest of my games don't, and what i saw was only one core active and the other core basically doing nothing. I checked the cpu affinity but they were both set on for F.E.A.R.. I see all these cpu game test sites running these dual cores on fear and they have amazing results yet i have the game running on one core!!!! Please Help!!

I just bought a Sapphire X1950 Pro graphics card from Newegg. It has two DVI outputs, but my LCD monitor only has a VGA input. I've looked online, but I can't figure out if the card comes with an adapter.

Would such a card come with an adapter? To those of you that have bought other cards recently, did they come with an adapter? Where would you buy such an adapter, should I need to buy one?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Whenever I boot up my computer (I'm running Windows XP Proffesional), it says that my Primary Slave has failed. I press (F1, I believe, all it does is make my computer continue with starting up) and as it contintues to start up, my computer freezes and restarts the start-up only with the same results. There is info on my computer that I need. Is there a way of backing up this info, or is there even a way to help this problem? Thanks

What dimensions or physical characteristics can I rely on to classify the form factor?

I got a case from a friend to build a system, and other than "XION 4b2b 450W" from a receipt, I don't have anything else to go on. That of course means 4 bays / 2 bays, and 450W power supply. I just want to make sure I'm even looking at the correct parts to install.
