Hi. i (think i) kind of understand how the dual or multi processor system works, in regards to separate pipelines and all that. My basic question is: when the specs for a pc, lets say the hp pavillion 4400+, is a dual processor @ 2.3 gig; Does this mean (A) each processor can work at 2.3 gigahertz max at the same time, (B) each processor can work at (about) 1.15 gig max at the same time, (C) the tasks are divided up into each processor with a maximum total possibility of 2.3 gig COMBINED, with power divided to each processor as needed?
Bonus question: how is it decide which task will go to which processor...the operating system?
Thanks in advance.

It won't turn on. Only when I leave my finger on the on button, if I let go it turns off. It's been like this for like 3 days. Yesterday and the day before it wouldn't turn on, I kept pressing the on button and it eventually stayed on without my finger. Also during those two days it shut off while I was using the internet. But today it just won't stay on, so for the time being I put tape on the on button. Does anyone know what's wrong? Can it be fixed or should I just get a new one?

I have DSL

My Motherboard is Asrock P4i45gv. The question is:

Is it possible for me to install PCI-e Video cards using the three PCI slots below my AGP Video card slot and won't have problems or is it for other hardwares only?

You see, most of the available video cards in my area offers PCI-e video cards. Since I am looking for a video card that supports shaders (for NWN2 and Titan Quest), the available video cards are for PCI-e only.

Please tell me if it is possible so that I can save money from buying a new Motherboard if it is possible. Thanks in advance

Is there a significant advantage or does performance really depend on memory clock speed?

I just replaced bad capacitors with whol set of new caps (9 in total).
After checking every other capacitor in power, graphic card, etc.
I re-assembled my PC and tried to start up.

It seemed quite normal in starting up -- until the monitor showed ''Windows XP'' and began to show desktop.
The monitor all blacked out,
but the CPU is still running, CDRW, DVDRW, 3.5" Disk, Key board, Mouse every thing runs OK.
I can use the Key Board Alt + F4 or ALT+Shift + Break
My PC continued to load programs and then settle down -- just as any good PC running,
ONLY That
the monitor blacked out with ''Check Signal Cable''
N.B. this monitor is 100% good -- is being used by other PC.

So, my question is Why this black out?
------------------

My PC OS- Windows XP sp2,
CPU- S478 intel 1.8,
Power supply -Seventeam 450W,
Graphic card -Albatron geforce ti200, Ram 1 GB,
5 years old

I know one sure way of erasing data off a hard-disk is to wave a magnet over it but how exactly?
1. Does the hard-disk need to be powered on?
2. Secondly, does the magnet need to be in physical contact with the hard-disk?
3. Thirdly, how powerful should the magnet be?
4. Fourthly, if other components of the computer 'feel' the magnetic field (and they shall if the hard-disk is still in the computer), would they be damaged?

The sign is really annoying me! When I play the sims 2, which is very graphical and uses the video card a lot or other games, rgb no input signal appears! I just want to know why? I have read some other answers to questions like mine but I have directx 9, the latest version and updates on my video card. sometimes my sound goes dodgy...is that something to do with it? please give me some answers because I have waited for a long time to play games on my pc. Thanks!

The nominal clock of 2.6GHz can be reliably oc'd to 3.3Ghz on a stock cooler! The question is-what's the limit? Would better cooling, like some fancy copper rig or water block, allow even higher stable speeds? I remember some guys oc'ing a cpu to some insane speed by cooling it with liquid nitrogen years ago. Is heat dissipation the only limiting factor to clock speed?
