I'm trying to stay around $1000, or so.
I'm leaning towards the new Intel i7 processor, a high end Asus mobo, and about 4 gigs of DDR3 Ram (I'll still be running XP Pro, so no need for more ram)
But, it's part of what a fast and powerful system can do.
I noticed that when looking at some of the very expensive gaming rigs.
They all had large cache and FSB specs, so it must help out somehow
I bought my PC in '06 and it has the Asus A8N-SLI Premium motherboard
and it has the AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64FX/Athlon 64 processor.
It performs decently, but I'm considering upgrading to a more powerful processor and motherboard that can handle more power. I'm currently running XP Pro, but...
I'm needing to get a program that allows me to fax through the phone line (plugged in to a standard modem in my PC) directly from my computer.
I've been using the prog that came with my dying printer and it needs the printer to send efaxes.
Since my computer (XP Pro) has an internal modem...
Yeah, I hope she's not running a low budget porn studio or anything.
I think the biggest problem is that her daughter comes to visit and she chats on all these different chat boards which I've heard are bad about leaving little suprises on your computer.
There's only one account...and I have a ton of pictures on my pc and it defrags fine.
I'm in the process of checking for spyware.
Something fishy is going on because Spybot Search & Destroy has mysteriously been disabled on her machine, so I'm re-installing that now and running a scan.
I was just doing a defrag on my wife's PC (Windows XP Pro) and all the data in My Documents is about 22.0 Gigs.
After I ran defrag twice, I keep getting a message when it's over saying 18.2 Gigs of the data in My Documents cannot be defragged.
Anybody have any idea what's going on with...
Yep, the next guy might want to take notice that it's good to pay attention to the basics.
I only spent 2 or 3 days jackin around with this due to not paying attention to the simple things, which I knew it had to be something simple. :disgust:
