A water cooled cpu is one in which water is used to remove heat from the cpu instead of a traditional heatsink/fan combo. A water cooling kit comes with a cpu water block (a little box that sits on top of the cpu with an inlet and outlet that water flows through ), a reservior (a little tank...

The 9600XT is better. Much better. It's newer, supports directX 9, and yields higher frame rates in pretty much every game.

It's good, with a few exceptions: Instead of getting a socket 940 Athlon 64 fx 53, get the socket 939 version which is newer. This would mean you'd need a different motherboard, ie a socket 939 one. Asus has one out already. These will be the same price as the ones you have listed, so...

a new video card will make your games go MUCH FASTER. I recommend the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro, which can be found for $220. This gives you awesome performance for a reasonable amount of money. I would do this before upgrading your ram, but step 2 is definitely the ram.

Here is a list of video cards and their overall rankings using a system I came up with myself. tomshardware.com did a whole bunch of benchmark tests on 42 video cards. In order to combine all the individual benchmark scores into one overall score, I took each individual benchmark FPS score...

I've got a 180 gig drive and an 80 gig drive installed. During the year, there have been times when I've had as little as 37 megs left - that right 37 Mb. I capture video, which is huge before compression.

For a tight budget, I'd recommend an athlon xp 2500+ "barton" (80 bucks on newegg.com) and an nforce2 motherboard ($60). I'd also recommend buying a second 256mb stick of ram ($40). The extra ram will give your computer a tremendous speed boost - definitely worth the extra 40 bucks. As for a...

you may also just want to check on your first boot that it is set properly. enter the bios on your first boot and check to make sure the CPU is running on a 166 mhz bus (166 times 2 is 332)

website go to http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist_m.htm This has all the info you need about motivesb. I also have it, and it seems to be from my verizon dsl. I've heard somewhere that you may need it to be running for your internet to work - so you might not want to...

As long as you have an ATX formfactor motherboard, any ATX case will do. (check to make sure your current computer is atx - If you have flex or micro atx motherboard,youll need a case that can accomodate it) You should look for a case with at least 3 external 5.25 drive bays, 2 external 3.5...

It depends on what you plan to do with it. The machine will be ok for games that have been out already for a few months, provided you get a decent video card, but it will not be too good for new games (though with a good video card, they'll still be playable). First off, never buy a refurb hard...

First off, whatever you buy you should get from newegg.com - cheap, fast delivery, and great customer service. Also, what is your budget? A sensible gaming machine (ie fast but not a wallet buster) could have the following: 1)AMD Athlon 64 3200+ $282 2)Nforce3 250Gb mobo (or via...
