What is a "Intel Pentium PC MHz" or what is an equivalent, CD-ROM drive to the to the former?

This is the central processing unit (CPU) in your computer.  It is the brains of the machine and executes the programs that you run.  The MHz refers to the speed that it operates, in millions of cycles per second.  Intel Pentium is one brand, an equivalent is made by AMD (K6 and so on).  \n\nCD Rom Drive is the unit that you stick the CD into to read the program into the computer.  \n\nSounds like you are reading system requirements off a software box, in which case they are trying to tell you what your computers capabilities need to be in order to run the program.  They usually require a certain speed processor, CD Rom Drive, some hard disk space, and a given amount of system memory.  \n\nStart -> Programs -> Accessories -> System tools -> System Information should tell you the specs that your computer has.  \n\nGenerally speaking, much older computers don't run the newest software well, try to find a program that came out about the same time as the computer, or within a couple of years.  \n\nGood luck, and don't be afraid to put more details in your questions in the future.

From Microsoft.com:\n\nProcessor: 800 MHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor1 \nSystem Memory: 512 MB \nGPU (Video/Display): SVGA (800x600) \nHDD (Harddrive): 20 GB \nHDD Free Space: 15 GB \nOptical Drive: CD-ROM drive2 \n\n \n1) Processor speed is specified as the nominal operational processor frequency for the device. Some processors have power management which allows the processor to run at a lower rate to save power. \n2) The CD-ROM may be external (not integral, not built into the system).

Check out Tom's Hardware Guide. They have a special article called "The Mother of All CPU Charts". This should help you find what you're looking for.

A pentium 3 can handle Windows XP with enough memory installed. (256MB+) I'd recommend an upgrade as apposed to Windows 98. Win98SE is still a great operating system.\n\n(BACKUP ALL DRIVERS ONTO A FLOPPY, CD OR THE NET BEFORE STARTING!)\n\nIf you haven't been persueded towards an upgrade already, you can format Win2K by simply popping in the 98 boot disk (floppy), --> boot up ---> choose to load 98 without cd-rom support ----> at the command prompt, type format C:. This is called a low level format and will take a few minutes to completely erase the hard drive. It will ask if you're sure, just hit Y or yes which ever.\n\npop in the 98 boot disk (floppy), --> boot up ---> choose to load 98 without cd-rom support ---->at the command prompt type FDISK. Type yes to enable large disk support. Then you need to delete all partitions and create a new primary partition. Then exit and reboot.\n\nThis time choose to load 98 WITH cd-rom support -> Put the Win98 CD into the CD-ROM --> at the command prompt type SETUP. The Windows 98 setup program will start and you can just follow the onscreen prompts through the rest.

DDR400/PC3200 are pretty much the same thing. With these bits you have the type of memory and what speed it runs at. PC3200/DDR400 runs at 400mhz (200mhz x 2). 200 pins means there are 200pins that connect the motherboard to the memory. Usually for computers made after 2000 it was 168pin memory. Before that it was 132pin memory.

it depends on the bus speed of your computer im guessing at 2.7 ghz it should be pc2700 but more likely pc3200 and it depends on if your running ddr sd ram or just sd ram and dont buy the bargain ram spend the money on the more expensive ram its more dependable

ask around. i have like 4 disks of it from various motherboards and drives i have purchased. i'm sure people you know have extras lying around.\n\n[edit] sorry i was talking about system mechanic. i'm sure reg mechanic is out there. somewhere. (hint: don't "kickme".)

for this you need fastest computer with all advance techinologies.\n\nAbout Minimum Requirement you could only now when you buy video captureing card for recording & games you want to play. but all other tasks are done even in pentium 2. I recommend you a best pc as under:-\n\nSystem Requirements\n\nIntel® Pentium® 4 3.4 GHz or higher with Hyper-Threading technology \nMicrosoft® Windows® XP (Service Pack2 for HDV camcorder support recommended) \n2GB of RAM (4GB or more recommended) \n10000 RPM SATA hard disk or above \n16X PCI ExpressTM display adapter \nInput/Output Device Support \n\n1394 FireWire cards for use with DV/D8/HDV camcorders \nSupport for OHCI Compliant IEEE-1394 and 1394 Adaptec 8940/ 8945 \nAnalog capture cards for analog camcorders (VFW & WDM support) \nUSB capture devices and PC cameras \nWindows-compatible CD recorder (CD-R/-RW) required for CD creation \nWindows-compatible DVD recorder (DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW) required for DVD creation\n\nThese are ideal configration, i don't recomend  you to go down from these configration.

Just go to www.download.com and search for the software you need, like Intel's Digital Blue.

There is nothing like that - ITS A MYTH.\nThe only thing that you should look for is \nA CPU above 2.0\nMemory above 1 GB\nHard Drive with 7200 RPM\nDVD-MULTI DL Drive with 16X Writing speeds.

Well that's a Compaq MB.\n\nAccording to the Tech Guide (see 1st link):\nAll units use the PGA423 ZIF mounting socket and ship with the Pentium 4 processor in a Flip-Chip (FC-PGA423) package installed with a passive heat sink.\n\nI found a description of a 3GHz option for this number of pins at Tom's Hardware, see second link.

Get a faster CD drive or processor and maybe more RAM.
