Standard computer function is all that is required for any individual. Forcing programming, which is fairly complicated to be taught at a non-university level, takes the focus away from learning material which is useful to the individual. University courses will begin from the start for...

ANY Core 2 Duo processor is much better than a Pentium Dual Core, regardless of cache or clock speeds. The E8500 is a very good dual core processor. Though purchasing a quad core will be more worth your money.

STALKER is a fairly realistic game, things like aiming require you to iron sight or use a scope if you have one.

As said, give your system specs. Your GPU won't be used to 100%, it will be used to the highest it can mange depending on the game. Source games and mount and blade are very CPU dependant rather than graphic heavy.

Any serious virus would be unremovable by any AV. Or at least take up most of the day to ensure it was fully removed. I use an AV that can detect viruses/spyware and when it does I do a fresh install of my OS, best way to protect. Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is the best for this...

Well Warhammer Online came the closest to taking the lead or at least a perpetual playerbase and that had the largest launch players. Pity they didn't fix the bugs quickly enough and was rushed ruining an otherwise extremely fun game. It would be nice to have a second fantasy MMO that holds...

A GTX460 is a perfectly fine card to buy and can fit on a decent 550W PSU, 700W is overkill for a 460 since I run a 4890 on a 650W and even that's overkill and the 4890 is more power hungry than the 460. If you wish you can go for a 6850 or a GTX460, a decent 550/600W PSU will handle them fine.

Free weights have the ability to not only develop muscles, but balance and coordination which machines can never achieve. Muscle development has evolved to never get in the way of our range of motion, if you exercise you will never reduce your range of motion. Proper form with free weights...

I think it's more of a worry that you may become some introverted basement dweller or something like that, or become obsessed with living in the 'past' ( the 90s not exactly being old ) . Not that you will or there is a problem with that. There are social groups for everything and as you get...

I've seen games that do support SLI/Crossfire run into issues depending on which drivers you use etc. Then you are only running at the performance one 1 card and If your setup involves multiple monitors or high resolution with AA then you can no longer enjoy that as the card you have...

Understand the issues with SLI/Crossfire, you can experience degraded performance of just one card by using 2 simultaneously, the technology is not yet fully functioning.

I would never attempt to clean a computer while it was plugged in. I personally use a hoover and allow dust to be lifted off with the bristles, never had any problems with it. Installed dust filters on the case can be useful to prevent buildup.

The boost you get from defragmenting is negated by the inherent problems with mechanical hard disks. You get no overall boost on large disks. NTFS prioritizes placing files fully, this means it does not fill little gaps that have been left by small files being used, otherwise you would take a...

I don't know how you came to the conclusion I didn't know how fragmenting happened. NTFS will focus on placing files sequentially on the disk, this means that fragmenting will never occur until you have basically filled the disk up and delete stuff. You can check this by seeing any NTFS...

I don't understand what you said? If you can lift a heavy weight how can that not help you in the real world? If you back and core is strong then you completely reduce your chance of having back issues in your life. If your form is good, you'll experience no bodily issues in later life...
