Hi guys. At the moment, as we all know, dual core processors are much more expensive than their single core counterparts. My question is whether it is worth getting dual core processors, even IF they were in a similar price range to single cores. For example, take a look at the benchmark results...

I had a recent disater when, possibly due to a faulty motherboard, the boot sector became inaccessible. Before I admit defeat and re-format the HD, is there any software which would enable me to recover the data? I had just loaded my daughter's wedding pics so I'm desperate.

Hi all, I've been asked to answer the following question by a friend of mine. As far as I can recall (I supplied the bits for his current box) he's got a 64 MB GF Ti200 with TV out, 512 MB of RAM and a 1.2 GHz CPU (I'm not sure about the CPU). The TV he's refering to is quite a new 22" LCD (no...

I just upgraded my computer, and a friend of mine with very basic word-processing needs wants to buy my old one. I'm looking for some recommendation on what to charge him for it. One thing worth mentioning here is that this friend sold me his car two years ago, and didn't give me anykind of...
