I'm going to go back to the 4400 because it is a decent processor; it's not dual-core, but I think the single core will be ok for now.

Well, the requirements for what I want to run vary, so here's what I want to run followed by the system requirements... Some of the programs I have tested on my current computer and/or my parent's...

Ok, I checked out the 9600, it looks good, but I also looked at some reviews on other processors, and am also considering this one:...

Lol, I thought the 4400 was pretty good...
but now I'm going through and looking at all the system requirements for everything I want to run and am going to rechoose a processor based on that...

I'm getting a list together of what I want for a pc... can anyone help with compatibility/suggestions for hardware?
Ok, this is what I'm going to get (I'm doing up a new list completely based on...

I know it has a built-in video card, but for what I want to do, the built-in looks like crap (sorry if it isn't) but thanks :)
And I will start a new thread

Ok, I can't figure out where to go online to see if something is compatible with something else (yes, I have googled, asked, and webcrawled =D) so, is the

Ok, this is what I'm going to get (I'm doing up a new list completely based on compatibility) for a motherboard/proc:

This is what I'm looking at for a motherboard/processor: Asus PCI Express
My dad recommended last year; is it still decent, or do I need something newer if I want to game?

Ohhh... I had no idea about the nvidia 8400 & 8600 vid cards... thanks... I'll stay away from them, then =D

Thanks... I have a set of system specs (it's written down somewhere's....) but when I find it, could someone help me with the compatibility? I've done some homework, but I want to be absolutely sure...

Hey
I use Windows over another operating system because I have been working in Windows since I was 8 years old and now the language of Windows seems like second nature to me.
There are lots of...

Ok, having done a little bit of reading it sounds like you have totally screwed yourself (pardon my language) but I will ask around to my more experienced tech buddies and see if they know of...

I've heard of them in one of the pc gaming magazines... there supposed to be pretty good.

can you give me ALL the system specs?

My M700 does the same thing with the power; it drives me crazy at night because I store it on my work desk in my room. If you remove the power cord before it shuts down it should stop. (At least it...

ok, I think I have solved my own problem...

I just kinda panicked and started freaking out...
Although now the light on my computer that indicates it is on is blinking...

I'm currently in a "wait and see" mode, but I'd like to solve this problem very quickly. I just installed Unreal Tournament GOTY edition (1999) under my admin log in and then logged out. I now have a...

Try all the suggestions.:@

I use IE mostly but also use Firefox for certain webpages.

You should be able to just go into the control panel and go into add/remove programs and do it from there. I can do it on my computer so I am assuming you can do the same on yours, but if you can't...

why not try removing internet explorer and reinstalling (assuming you're using internet explorer)?

Is it gone completely or just the icon gone?
