    Weird Ads

    Get either AVG or Avast!, but not both. Running two antiviruses leads to problems. Get spybot http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html Also get AVG Anti-spyware, update it and do a complete scan. http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download-free-anti-spyware/us/frt/0

    CPU and RAM

    small nit pick. When you hibernate it takes everything off the ram and copies it to the hard drive.

    Woah!

    Hehehe, that looks pretty awesome. from the reviews, however, they say it's all looks and doesn't actually cool all that well. There comes a point when it's not about how much surface area you have to cool but how effectively you can conduct heat to the surface area.

    if this is a 500GB HDD, then how come i cant get all 500GB out of it?

    No, what brianmay said was correct. Your computer measures gb as 1024mb, mb as 1024 kb, etc. but the labels measure gb as 1000mb, mb as 1000kb, etc.

    How To Install Linux On Build PC?

    You need to burn the iso as an image, not a data cd. Most cd-burning programs have this feature but if not deepburner has it. Then once burned, put the cd in your computer, restart and it should but into the cd. Make sure your bios are set to boot from your cd drive.

    Ram Question.

    Not really. It depends if you use all 3gb, but chances are, you arent. I would just go for the extra gb and get a little more bang for your buck and future proof a little bit.

    Ram Question.

    Just pop in the ram sticks and thats it! It requires nothing further. How many ram slots do you have btw? I would get 2x1gb sticks and run those in dual channel along with your current 512mb sticks if you have 4 slots.

    If you are running linux then check out firestarter. It's an open-source for linux that works very well.

    My New Computer Concept

    No problem. I have no idea of how you would make it split screen. The only thing that i could think of is either a.) creating a virtual machine with an accelerated x server and use that to run, or b.) creating two x servers within windows xserver and some how run two instances of the game or at...

    my new idea/invension to end all hot cards due to SLI

    Yes but the pressure difference due to temperature is so small it would be indifferent in that regard. Airflow in a computer works via fans :)

    My New Computer Concept

    You can already plug in a xbox 360 controller into a computer and have it work with vista. As far as a hacked version of vista to boot only the essential components of the OS would be very difficult, and illegal. Since vista is close-sourced you can't modify any programs because you don't have...

    my new idea/invension to end all hot cards due to SLI

    Or an adapter allowing you to mount the video cards apart from the motherboard :) Now that's a good idea imo.

    my new idea/invension to end all hot cards due to SLI

    That and the pci would be on the wrong side. EDIT: o, you meant the front would be on the back, not the opposite. Why go through that trouble and just get a good cfm fan?

    PCI-E x4 and MoBo advice please?

    Same thing with on board. If it can't talk to the hardware it can't use it. So i am disagreeing with you.

    X300

    Yes, you can play WoW with a x300. My sister has that card and it works decently. If you haven't bought it already then i would consider getting a higher-end card.
