    wat CPU?? Intel vs. Amd??

    stock performance wise, i think the e5200 and the x2 6000+ are fairly equal and will depend on the application which will be better. but the e5200 has extras like much better overclocking, more energy efficient, cooler, and slightly cheaper at the moment, so I give the edge to the e5200.

    Which should I upgrade? Vid Card or Monitor

    I would get the monitor first. by the time you save up for a new video, there will be a better one for the same price. so you ultimately end up with a better computer. if you do go the video card first, you won't notice a difference until you upgrade the monitor, whereas you could get a positive...

    These components compatible?

    here is the CPU suport list: http://www.gigabyte.us/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Model.aspx?ProductID=2728 it does support the P4 630, but not Q9400 yet. it might support the q9400 in the next bios update since Q9400 was released recently. the ram should work with that motherboard

    Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT, 512Mb into Dell Dimensions E520?

    the stock Dell Dimensions E520 is a 305 watt power supply with 22 amps, which meets the recommended power supply for an 8600gt. the HD4670 uses same or less power than 9500gt, which use the same or less power than 8600gt. so the power supply has enough power for HD4670...

    Just need some feedback on my build

    I just wanted to point out that the case has a $70 discount if you combo it with a Q6600, which he is also buying. so the case is really only a $100.

    Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT, 512Mb into Dell Dimensions E520?

    I would take a look at a HD4670. it doesn't have any external power connectors, so can get away without power supply upgrade(i recommend you upgrade, just to be on the safe side) also it is short like an 8600gt, much better performance and cost about $80. the down side is this was just released...

    time capsule is a wireless harddrive that time machine(software) backs up the data to. I think what he wants to do is a to hook up a cheap computer to a wireless router and have some software run on the mac such that it backs up the data to the cheap computer. I don't know how to do this.

    Is My Hardware Messed up? What is this error code mean?

    Access Violation errors are caused by software trying to access some memory that it is not allow to. I don't think you have any problems with your hardware, but something to do with that game. I would look up any patches for that game to see there is a fix or reinstall the game.

    Processor is not even close to stock speeds.

    I think you are confused about what the difference between "BUS speed" and "rated FSB". bus speed is the raw FSB or actual FSB. everything is based off the raw FSB, so to determine CPU speed, you take the raw FSB and multiply by the CPU multiplier. intel quad-pumps the raw FSB to get the...

    AMD announce 22nm

    a picometer is one trillionth of a meter, so 1 nm would be 1000 pm. the size of an atom is 100 to 500 picometers, so I dont think we'll get too much smaller than 1nm. it will be 20 years before there is a 1nm transistor if they keep the current pace.
