pentium d

Hi, The CPU in my PC (upgraded to Win 7 Home Premium x 64 from XP Pro) Dell OptiPlex 520 is (Pentium D 2.8GHz) old and slow. The MoBo model: Dell 0RJ290. BIOS is v.11. What CPU with max. performance is acceptable for this MoBo, if at all? My goal is to speed up my PC on the cheap. Would...

Greetings W7 masters. I bought an old PC (Pentium D, 1 Gig Ram) at a garage sale, and was hoping to bring it back to life. I put in the Windows DVD, and all was well. It took a while, installed, asked for a new user name / computer name etc. After that install though, it will never get to the...

Hey everyone, I read through the sticky posts before I posted and it appears, after going through "perfmon /report," my memory is low. This PC came with Vista but I downgraded to XP because I hated it. Yesterday I did a clean install of Windows 7, 64bit. I wasn't going to because my gut said...

I see numerous CD/DVD threads here and mine is similar but somewhat different from any of the others, so I will start an additional thread. I have a home built computer with a Biostar 945GZ Micro 775 Motherboard (Intel 945GZ an ICH7/R chipset), Pentium D 830 3GHz Processor, 2 GB ram, 250 GB...

Ok I am getting really irritated with windows 7 now it just randomly freezes all the time. It works in safe mode i'm pretty sure. I thought this may be due to the resolution, maybe because my graphics card is incompatible, but i tried starting up with a low reolution in normal mode and again...

Hi all, Apologies if this has been mentioned already but I could not find an answer. I am running Vista Home Premium SP2 and am trying to upgrade to Windows 7 but having no luck. It starts to install but then hangs at the first stage "collecting information" with a box on the screen saying...

Im getting 100% CPU usage even when my comp's idling. Anyone know what the problem might be,or how i can rectify it? It's not happening all the time,but very frequently. Im using a Pentium D Dual core 2 x 2.8GHz on an x64 Windows 7 Ultimate.

Hi, I'm have a very consistent problem when trying to install a few games I have. They are: Fallout 3, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, and a few others. Whenever I try to install, I always get this error: *This one is with fallout 3, the only difference in the errors is the game name and...

It said it had successfully installed, but i cannot seem to be able to display the native resolution of 1440 x 990 for my 19 inch widescreen monitor and on Device manager I get the following message -...

Well, i have a quite old PC and now I hate using something that isn't 7 or Vista. So i was thinking to install Windows 7 on a Pentium D with 256 RAM. ¿It's going to run? ¿Do you know a lite version out there that can work? Thanks!

Hi guys, as i didnt find any real answers about this, i will ask in my own post. From my experience with win7 x64, for me the best version was 7000, no doubt about it. Since i installed RC1 x64, on the same system, i get unstable system. Sometimes windows explorer stop responding, for...

Ive never used a 64bit OS before. I was just wondering what advantages it might give me over a 32 bit system? Im running an Intel Pentium D 3Ghz dual core duo so as far as I know I should be able to run the 64bit version right?

Hey, i recently upgraded from windows XP to windows seven. When things are working i love it and was hoping it would be the answer to the new popularity of the dumbed down mac's , but I have been having a problem that makes me want to scream and leaves my computer just barely operable. The...

One of the many reasons I skipped Vista was because of the constant Disk activity when idle. It appears that the same problem exists with Windows 7. I've tried the usual suspects like turning of indexing etc, but the problem it still exists. I'm 99% sure it's not the hardware, because I can play...
