I looked into getting 8gb of ram but most of the prices on newegg were in the 300+ dollar range and honestly i dont really do anything that intensive on this computer besides some engineering projects for school. Ive been checking around and most of the software i use has 64 bit versions...

Hello im wondering if it would be wise to upgrade to windows 7 64 bit over 32 bit. I have Vista 32bit on hp laptop with 4gb of ram and a core 2 duo T8300 processor. I can get either version for like 8 bucks through school so my last decision to make before i buy is 64 or 32 bit. According to...

Hello, I recently bought a second hard drive to add to my system. I was reading online that it is sometimes best to keep your Windows page file on a separate partition on the 2nd hard drive. Is this true? And are there any other items on my computer that should get their own partition?

Thanks, i think i'll give the newest nero a try.

Hello I have a computer with a Q6600 processor in it. I use my computer to convert vhs tapes to dvd and it takes a lot of power to encode the video after capturing it. When i had my old pentium 4 computer i used a nero capture program but it was pretty old program so i'm assuming it cant...

I just got a look at dells new xps 420 desktop computer this afternoon. http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsdt_420?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~tab=bundlestab Personally I think the case is really cool looking. When i priced it out with a q6600 and 2600xt and a hd tuner it...

I had this same problem with a compaq armada m700 laptop. It can be solved my removing both the main battery and removing the battery attached to the motherboard. I would let it sit at least an hour to let the capacitors discharge maybe even more I cant remember how long i left mine out. It...

I do video editing/encoding so quad core is a nice bonus. I kind of am still leaning towards building my own for the flexibility/upgradebility but when i saw the Q6600 and 3GB of RAM for that price it made me think twice. How much do you think it would cost to build something similar to that?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883107398 It dosent come with a monitor but thats not really a problem for me. I can get it for about $900 total with taxes and everything from a local computer shop. I've been waiting for the prices to drop a bit on the Q6600 to build my...

That case has plenty of airflow and the psu is about as good as your going to get when you buy the case/psu combo in your price range.

I think the Antec Sonata III is the best of that group you mentioned

I dont know this for sure but i have recently been looking into that gigabye board and i dont remember that super talent ram being on the compatible list. I could be wrong though im just going from memory. I cant check for sure because this computer dosent have adobe on it. Good lick with the...

Hello, I have a Vista computer with 2GB of memory. I dont do any memory intensive tasks and barely use 700MB at max. Now some say that if you have the memory you should disable the page file for increased performance but others advide against it saying that it could cause problems and wouldnt...

Thanks a lot. I think i'll pick that one up. Its hard to beat for the price. Now i just got to wait for some stores to get the Q6600's in at around the $266 mark.
