    Autocad based on cpu?

    Simple question: I am talking about on a notebook if it matters, does autocad depend on cpu only if i only do line work and none of the 3d rendering stuff? which pentium m is best bang for buck? (kinda like how the next thing after amd 3200+ has a huge increase in cost)

    Will the P180 solve this?

    My bro has a P4 3.0(OCed to 3.8) which is using the xp-90 and a 80mm fan running at about 1000rpm. The problem is the PSU, it is a Tisonic (ya i never heard of it) about 350w i think and it has 1 120mm fan on the bottom which is thermally controlled. Most of the time it will spin at...

    6600gt using silencer

    I have a MSI 6600gt and am using an Arctic cooling silencer. There is no heatsink on the ram since it didn't come with any and the stock one was 1 piece with the gpu. Will I be fine without any ramsink running the core overclocked but staying stock on the ram?

    Video fast forwarding automatically

    This is not an issue with the player since it happens in both realplayer and windows media. When I am playing a video, it would sometimes randomly fast forward for about 5 seconds and then goes back to normal. If i try to drag the seek bar back to where it was before the fast forwarding and...
