Does PC cooling lower overall room temperature?

This is probably obvious.. but just need a confirmation. If my goal was to just have my office cooler, would extra cooling components help? I don't overclock or anything I'm guessing that heatsinks/fans just move more heat away from components but dont lessen the overall heat of my office...

I have Win XP SP3 and I can cold boot into windows fine, but if I have to restart for whatever reason (I want to, hardware install, windows update) the loading screen of windows freezes and the computer reboots. Sometimes it will do this 4 times in a row before getting back into windows...

How to find a good monitor pairing?

Finally got around to doing this, looks like I need a 22.6 inch widescreen in 1920x1200 to be a perfect match with my 20" 1600x1200, but all the 22" or 23" monitors I've found are 16:9 did you have a 23" 1920x1200 in mind, I could not find one on newegg/dell

View a graph of CPU usage by process?

Sometimes I'll notice my cpu spike for no apparent reason (likely some background service doing an update or something to that effect...) but by the time I get to task manager and sort by CPU all is well again are there any apps that monitor cpu usage by process over time. Like I could...

Best 32bit AntiVirus program?

I had been using AVG Free for a few years due to their coverage and low resources/bloat on the system. However recently it's prompted me to install 8.0 and with it came a bunch of bloat. Part of this is a LinkScanner than installs itself into FireFox and IE and will scan every link on a...

Multitasking and video cards

Does your video card have anything to do with performance in multitasking? I'm a developer and run various IDEs but also play games on my box too (TF2/WoW mostly which I run in windowed mode so I can keep an eye on other monitors) Just wondering if there's anything to do with 3d rendering...

Partioning still worth it for performance?

I havent had any luck finding any recent guides/reviews on partitioning modern hdds. All of the ones I found date at least 5 years back. Is it still worth it to partition for performance? Aside from being a fraps'n/video editing/photoshop whore, is there any reason to partition with modern...
