would I benefit from going with a core 2 duo as opposed to core 2?

Hello everybody, The MOBO on my 2.5 year old gaming rig recently crapped out and I need to upgrade now. I use this machine solely for gaming (all other work is done on my Mac) and need to get the best bang for my buck. I currently play games such as Call of Duty 4, Company of Heroes...

ya, I think your right about the ejection thing, have to keep that in mind. I'm surprised it could screw it up that bad. I've had the drive for 2 or 3 years so I doubt its under warranty. I've done a google search on the topic and have seen several people with my problem and it seems data...

I'm no expert either...this is my first mac. I didn't try to write anything to the HD, just copy stuff from the HD onto the mac. Surely there is some way to recover the data from the HD. Eric

I keep all my important data backed up on a seagate external HD. This data has all come from a PC. Last night, I purchased a macbook and wanted to transfer my iTunes songs onto it, so I hoooked up my seagate HD (its USB) to the macbook and transfered all of my iTunes stuff. This went fine...

wanted to see if anyone had any input on this problem Im having: I play the game battlefield online with a group of friends. We use the program "Teamspeak" to communicate with each other. I am trying to set it up so that I can use a motoroal HS850 bluetooth headset as a microphone only. Up...

I occasionally play online games such as Battlefield 2 in the evenings and was wondering if the bluetooth headset I use with my Treo 650 coud be used on my computer to communicate in these games?

I have two hard drives in my computer. One is my main drive w/ XP sp2 on it as well as all my programs, while the other hard drive is purely for storage of music, pictures video, etc... I was wondering if it is possible to password protect my storage HD so that nothing can be viewed...

towards the end of January, I got a virus on my computer, I don't know which one. I have managed to get rid of the virus for hte most part (have put a stop to the browser hijacking) however, my desktop background has been disabled and I can't get it to come back up. That is not my main problem...

I'm trying to figure out a way to monitor my CPU temp on my new system from within XP. MBM 5 does not have my board listed. In the setup wizard under MSI, there is an option for a K8N neo Platinum board, but when I select this board, MBM tells me my CPU temp is 127 C. I downloaded Everest...

Test results from Pingplotter

when I say warping, I mean like what happens in a game whne your getting lagged. I really don't think its the video card, RAM, or CPU because I can run any map in either of those games with plenty of bots and I don't experience the same problem. My ping is <100 and this effect still occurs...

I just built a new system and everything is running great except for one thing. Whenever I try and play first person shooters (Battlefield: Vietnam, UT 2004) I get an odd video effect which causes the image to warp this happens both when I'm moving and standing still. My FPS never goes below...

I just installed Mother board monitor 5 and went to check my CPU temps. MBM 5 says my CPU is running at 127C (yes, celsius, not Farenheit). I immediatly restarted computer and went into the BIOS which said my cpu temp was 39C. Is this some sort of error or what? can a CPU even run at 127C...

I currently am running an athlon 64 with a 74 gig raptor with Windows XP sp 2 on it. I have a harddrive I want to put on this computer which came from another computer. This harddrive also has a copy of XP SP2 on it as well. Can I still access this hard drive from my existing machine, or will...
