I tired to reinstall Windows, but according to them my HDD is damaged and needs formatting. Is there any way I can bypass the O/S and transfer the files to my USB backup drive or another slave drive?

what would you say is the better processor a Pentium D single core w/ Hyper Threading @ 3.2Ghz or a Pentium D dual core @ 3.2 Ghz? And would a core 2 duo with less Ghz's still be better in terms of speed.

On my MacBook with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 1GB RAM, it is very hard to find any games that will run on Windows (using Parallels Desktop). This is because my computer doesn’t have a graphics card. It uses the processor for that, and that works fine in Mac OS X, but all PC’s have graphics cards.

BioShock won’t run, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars won’t run, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition won’t run. Mind you, I have only tried with demos downloaded from Steam (except BioShock Demo, that’s from a torrent). Half-Life 2 won’t run either.

I have a blog post with pictures here:
http://www.bojlen.org/?p=4
Because I can't upload pictures on Yahoo! Answers.

So, can anyone tell me if it is in any way possible for me to play games like these? Perhaps somehow tricking Windows into thinking that I have a graphics card?

I took a look at the minimum hardware specs for the FEAR game and it said that the minimum graphics card needed is Nvidea GForce 4 Ti. My graphics card is GForce 6200.

Can it handle the requirement?

Now I must say I'm quite intelligible when it comes to PCs but when you get into these much much deeper aspects of hardware my knowledge begins to slip...

Anyway, this is my processor and all of its Super-Geek stats as provided by Intel:

http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLA45#

Now I could give a Toss about the things like the Core Stepping or the Voltage and etc. but the one that bothers me is the Bus/Core Ratio.

The Intel pop-up that tries to explain it seems vague-ish, and wikipedia only says its the ratio between FSBus speed and Clock Speed.....

But if that were the case my value shouldnt be 10 should it? In my math it came out as a ratio of 2.5 (or 5 if you consider each core as 2.0ghz...)

Heres what I did anyway:

(2.0x10^9) / (800x10^6) which is the scientific notation for 2Ghz/800Mhz. My answer is 2.5.

SO my question is:

-Why is my ratio 10?
-Does each core run at 2.0ghz or 1.0Ghz?
