    I'm talking about the power LED. It's always blinking. And yeah, the fan fires up.

    Just wanted to read the model number off of it. Couldn't see it while it was seated.

    'Working' light keeps blinking but PC won't start up!

    The 'working' light for my PC keeps on blinking when I turn it on, but the PC won't turn on. What could be the problem? What I did just recently was take out one of the RAM sticks and put it back in (I'm certain I didn't touch any other parts.)

    Which 3dmark program to use?

    Okay thanks, I'll give those a shot instead. What's the difference if I use 03 and 01 anyways?

    Which 3dmark program to use?

    Also, my system is a P4 1.8 GHz but 3DMark05 supports 2.0 GHz and higher; so should I stick with 3DMark03 instead?

    Which 3dmark program to use?

    Which 3dmark program should I use? There are at least 3 of them (2001, 2003, 2005) and I don't know what the difference is (besides the year numbers). I notice that people still use versions like 2001 etc. so I'm not quite sure which one I should get for myself. Thanks!

    My system is slow when playing games; like The Sims 2, for instance (that was the last game I played anyways, but other games are the same idea.. normally slow;)

    > Would Getting A Better Cpu Improve My System?

    What type of upgrade? I'm not a heavy gamer at all; just a regular user. Of course I play games SOMETIMES, but not often (once every 3 months.) GFX intensive games like The Sims 2, Doom 3, Halo, etc. but I don't play them often. Also, I hear that the FX 5200 is decent; of course it's not a...
