i am planning to upgrade my processor, i had look at my motherboard's manual but it tells only the supported socket type and FSB. the socket is socket A and the supported FSB are 200/266/333 Mhz. it didnt tell the supported clock speed of processor but my motherboard has its pins for frequency selection, it supports 100/133/166 Mhz, i dont know what those for, help me understand these matters in order to decide choosing new processor for my motherboard. by the way my processor is amd duron with 1.6Ghz of clock speed and a model M7VIG motherboard. tnx..

I have an N~Vidia Ge-Force 4 MX 440 which I constantly have to re-install the drivers for. Sometimes it will fail to run on some games and other times it will revert back to 16bit colour + 640 x 480 screen resolution. I want to solve the problem for good (or for at least until I get a new graphics card). What do I do?

I am planning to upgrade my psu just because im upgrading my video card. So I found this psu:http://www.newegg.com/product/product.as...
Im upgrading my video card to an EVGA7800GS AGP:http://www.newegg.com/product/product.as...
So here are my computer specs after the video card upgrade:
AMD Sempron 3000+ 2.0Ghz
1 gig of ram (2 512mb sticks) PC2700 DDR400
EVGA7800GS AGP
1 VGA cooler in 2 expansion slots
1 92mm case fan
1 80mm cpu fan(heatsink)
1 DVD-R/CD-R(RW)combo
1 80GB 7200rpm hard drive
USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard
1 front bus memory card reader

I am not overclocking anything so will the PSU support my video card and my other hardwares? If not what psu do u suggest from newegg? I am a budget gamer so I want a cheap psu that will support my system. I am currently using a 250W psu with 14amps on +12 rail. Am I overpowering I mean am I paying to much electricity to make my system work? Cause i dont plan to OC. If Im overpowering what psu do u recommend

We recently moved and just got our internet hooked up today. We have 3 computers in the house. One up stairs, one in the family room downstairs and one in a bedroom downstairs on the other side of the house.

The one upstairs has the actual connection. We're using a wireless router for the other 2.

The one upstairs works great! The other 2 ... not so good. The one in the family room works, but it's slow. The one in the bedroom works sometimes, loses it's connection, freezes up and it's extremely slow.

Is this normal when using a wireless router? Could it be the brand (NetGear)? Is it the cable company (Knology)?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
