    gaming computer?

    I don't think it would run. Multi-core games will need a completely new engine. However, I would think that developers would have both a single-core and multi-core version of games.

    Build on a bufget.... trying to get it done for under $600

    For some reason, I really have never had any problems with PSU's that come with cases. But, I've heard from a bunch of people that it's much wiser to go out and spend more money on a higher-quality PSU. I was on a budget when I built my computer too, so I just went with a cheap case and PSU...

    Making the Hard Disk image?

    Yeah, I work maintaining computer systems for a telemarketing company and I use Ghost to make exact copies of machines so each station has similar setup.

    Yes it would be much better. I believe the X800 Pro will have no problem running BF2 with all details.

    gaming computer?

    Well good thing you asked this. It made me look back to my source to re-read. I found this information out in Computer Gaming World, and from reading again, I must correct myself. The article says dual-core games are expected to be out late 06. I couldn't find the article online, however...

    Yeah, you'll be able to run BF2 smoothly, but maybe not with all details turned up.

    Starting.

    That's a very good way of learning. Just make sure you notice very detailed things when you're taking it apart and take notes. Also, just make sure the components in this old computer aren't of much value in case there's a major accident.

    Starting.

    Well usually parts come with good enough instructions that you could figure it out by being very careful. However, there are many times that parts lack very good documentation and can cause an inexperienced person to not know what they're doing. The best way of learning is just by building...

    If you know what you're doing: 3. If not: 9.

    Whats Your Favorite Mouse? (Provide Picture)

    I disagree. For my hand, this mouse isn't really big on comfort, just on performance.

    NIC cards vs. onboard ethernet

    Well on most newer (within the last half a year) motherboard chipsets, onboard LAN is gigabit (1000 Mbps).

    NIC cards vs. onboard ethernet

    Short for motherboards.

    Attacked 26 times in the last day, whats going on.

    Probably, since it's a network company, I'm sure they monitor their traffic, so if you notify them about these specific attacks, they will probably be able to track down the attacker and cut them off.

    Which speakers?

    Well I would definately go with the Z-5300e's. This is a 5.1 speaker system which means you'll be able to have surround sound, rather than just two speakers and a subwoofter with the Z-2300's. Also, the Z-5300e's have a higher wattage rating.

    NIC cards vs. onboard ethernet

    I haven't heard of NIC's being any better or worse.
