I'm not going to OC, or at least not yet. Just gonna do the gaming and surfing the net, but my computer will probably on for maybe 5 hours on work/school days, and like 10+ hours on my day offs. I'm sure that's fine right?

I just bought a new comp and the place I want to put it in doesn't have much side ventilation. Maybe like 2-3 inches of space on each side. Only space it has is front, back, and up. But the back is about a few inches from the wall. Is it like an xbox360, where you need like a spherical free space to stay cool? Is my comp going to overheat?

Why would idiots go out and buy something that looks good?

Because we idiots love things that look good.
Why date a hot chick, when you can get a fat ugly one?

Yeah, I know my computer is slow but anyway so if I'm correct, it shows each stick running at 133mhz.
PC2100 is supposed to be 266mhz. Yeah 100+133 isn't 266mhz, that's what I don't get, maybe the OEM ram screwed me or something.

I'm doing some research on how RAM works with the motherboard and all that good stuff and I got kinda confused.
So say if I had 2 sticks of 1gb DDR2-800mhz RAM (2GB RAM), would each stick be running at 800mhz, or would they run at 400mhz each? Same with 4 sticks of 1gb. Would it be 200mhz for each stick?
Or hypothetically speaking, if I had 10 sticks, it would be 80mhz for each?
Or is it the other way around where it's 800mhz for each.
I was looking at the CPU-Z program about my computer and it shows:
Max Bandwidth: PC2100 (133mhz)
PC2100 is DDR-266 and I have two sticks of 256mb, so that means each is at 133mhz?
So when adding more RAM, it just increases the storage capacity? Since it's capped at 800mhz, how would it make sending data faster or something like that...

Sorry if it's kinda confusing and stupid.

ibuypower.com sucks, just look at all the reviews on resellerratings.com They give you little to no customer service at all, and most computers are defective in some way. It's you get what you pay for.

I would suggest some of the top boutique gaming companies like

www.velocitymicro.com
www.abs.com
www.avadirect.com
www.maingear.com

All these are affordable and are rated the highest in quality of product and service. They go through 24 hour burn-ins and days of personally assembling your system and making sure everything works right before they ship it out.

Not sure how this works but I have phone lines connected into the back of my pc (modem i think?) in my living room and then connecting to my dsl modem, which connects to my router with ethernet cable, and then to my xbox in my room with the ethernet cable.
 So if i get a new computer in my room, all i need to get connected to the internet is the ethernet cable right? I do'nt need any type of modem or what not.
