Sky's Amd Athlon X2 Processor (2 Cpus)
Hey guys.Tonight I purchased an AMD Athlon X2 Processor (Dual Core) from my local shop. It's socket AM3, but is compatible with AM2 and 939 (so it shows in the installation manual).

Hello all I have a 20-GB Seagate Hard Drive that's about six years old. I used it as a storage for my archived files a few years back and left it in the CPU chassis, not connected to the power supply or the IDE cable. Just recently, I thought of browsing through my old files and reconnected the cables. And guess what: I get a drive that spins, then clicks 7-11 times, then stops spinning. I've tried using another computer, or fiddling with the BIOS to no avail. I've even tried freez
Advice Required For Netbook Battery Life
OK the title may seem silly but the fact is that I've never used a netbook (or any other type of laptop for that matter) before and I'm unsure about how I should use it. I'm talking about battery maintanence. My netbook has a 6-cell battery and gives an average of 5 hours backup. I easily do 5 hours of computing daily so that means charging the battery daily. Is this going to affect its life?My second query is on how long I can use the netbook with the power cable - if using the powe

Is The Hp Mini 311 A Good Choice?
I've been wanting to replace my 8-year old PC with a brand new Desktop computer which is future proof. But in the time that I need to get my config ready, I decided to try using a netbook, just for fun. So I started researching into the netbook market and found that the users are spoilt for choice - there are a lot of models available and a lot of them have similar configs, sizes and everything else. So I simply went to CNET, and looked at the top 5 list of netbooks, and after Apple Macbook

Kingston Will Launch Cheap Ssd By February
SSD (solid state disks) are the craziest thing ever! Not only it will out perform your ordinary hard drive, when combined with a portable device like a laptop, it will extend the operation time. It can keep your laptop cooler and quieter.But, it's always been expensive. And with newer operation systems requiring 1,5,10GB of space, getting a large enough SSD with the price tag that wouldn't cost your arm and a leg would not have been possible.That is until today.

Crunchpad Is Dead And Something Else Might Come About

Well, prototypes were launched, YouTube has bunch of working final product and the web was all over about this new device. Popular Mechanics called it one of the 1
I was wondering who enjoys having multiple monitors for their computer set up. For me, I have a laptop hooked up with a 17 inch screen.

How Good Of A Graphics Card Do I "need" ?
As much as I'd love to have a top of the line, high-end graphics card, I'm going to have to go with a budget model right now. How good of a card do I need to play most games, on low graphics settings? Any major difference between ATI and NVIDIA? I've been seeing a lot of ATI cards in mid-priced pre-built computers lately, mostly in the ATI 4650-70 area. Is something around that range adequate? Should I look for a similarly priced NVIDIA model instead? Or is it useless for games?I jus

Many Pc Speakers Are Good Value
I was wondering who else enjoys what their PC Speakers do for them? I purchased a set some time ago for about 30 U.S (Logitech speakers.) They're actually not bad considering their cheap price tag, i consider them to be one of those rare items where you really get a bargain. I recognize that they aren't "excellent" quality, but sometimes they do surprise. Although their midrange is flat it doesn't matter to me because i listen to music with the EQ midrange set down a bit. A
Problem With My Ipod Classic 5th Generation

When I disconnected it, it doesn't go back to the main menu screen. The screen says OK to disconnect and I wonder why the screen was different and doesn't go back to the main menu.

Computer Will Not Boot, Please Help.
I have just finished building a new computer and it will not boot. When I hit the power button all the fans and LED's come on for about one second then shuts off. The case I have is an AZZA Solano 1000 and the instructions are pretty horrible. The only thing that I am worried about not connecting right are the front panel connectors (power/reset/HDD LED), because the instructions do not specify which wires are positive or negative. The power supply is 850W so I doubt it is a lack of powe
Should A Modern Computer Mouse Still Be Called A Mouse?
Computer mice are looking less and less like real life mice than they did when they were first invented. They originally got their name from rodent-like their appearance. Modern computer mice have lost their tails (cords), they glow red (or other colors) at the bottom, and they aren't always white or beige coloured anymore like a mouse. Do you think this important piece of computer hardware needs a revitalized name to reflect the changing times? What would you call it?

But it's never possible to put all of the content on the system, since fresh content keeps coming in. So most of us resort to storing this data on external hard disks, dvds or other storage media. But by doing this, we won't have access to all of the data at once. So what we need is a hard

Though it has a military theme, it is a very nice looking theme. I didn't think i would like the side view window and the honeycomb ventilation on the side, but it makes the case look very nice. Unfortunately, this case does not bring any dust filters, which i find weird after hearing that the 922, the smaller version of this case, does bring

Possible To Detect Ps/2 Mouse And Keyboard?
Is it possible to detect the presence of a ps/2 keyboard and mouse, and also a USB mouse/KB?Reason being at work (a school, i dont work in an office of animals!) keyboard and mice tend to vanish or be unplugged, so i was wondering if there is a peice of software, perhaps a driver, that can be installed to check for the presence of the devices and then either log it locally (or just give an error message) or even better, send an alert across the network, perhaps via email, to notify us that i

How Much Power (in Watts) Does Hardware Draw?
Out of curiosity, how much power does a hard drive draw? How about a CPU? Graphics card?These questions came to my mind during my Laptop vs. Desktop argument in which I somehow convinced myself not to build the desktop machine that I've been planning on building for years. After posting 3 unique posts and receiving no replies, I let the topic lie...... until now.I'm looking to purchase a Hitachi 320GB Travelstar 2.5" hard drive and I'm planning on coupling it with an external e
I had a Toshiba laptop that I miss terribly but gave it to my oldest daughter so she could be entertained in her new home. Anyway so I went out shopping and didnt have as much to spend as I did when I bought the Toshiba, So this is what I ended up getting for the price range I was in. Just wondering and wanting some input on if it was a good deal or now as I am not very technical in the pc terms and understanding what it all is. So any feedback will be greatly appreciated Thank you very much.Com
Hardboot and softboot waz dis all kind stuff.can any one tell me the process and all about it?
I don't know if I put this in the right section but I have a problem: Whenever I get on my PC, even if I'm not gaming, the CPU is always at 100% no matter what I do.I checked the processes and there's nothing suspicious there, neither using 100% of the CPU.

'puter Shutting Down Right After Start-up
My computer started shutting down almost immediately after startup recently. I did a bit of research from forums like this one. I decided to do a bit of troubleshooting.First, I decided to see if I had some bad memory. I removed bank 2 and that stopped the shut-downs. Guess that was the end. WRONG.I took out my CD burner and found that it had no jumper pin. So, I tried the different settings. It started shutting down right after startup, except when there was no jumper at all. Does that mean tha

Recommendation(s) For A New Cpu
I can't really decide on which to buy. Such as there are many CPUs of Quad core. I am not a spendthrift but I look for affordable and worth - for example GHz / price is the highest. I am aiming for a quad core. The i7 is slightly too extreme for my uses.My uses:Play games (of course) - can play some good CPU intensive games, quicker calculations of physics intensive games, less lag.Compile videos and possibly games - takes quite a long time to compile videos and I hope to shorten it, convert
