When is it time to purchase a new computer?
Some people I have talked to told me its good to purchase a new computer every 2 years however that could be expensive for most people. I always thought every 4-5 years.
What is your opinion on this?
The computer I own is 11 months old?
Answer
The industry "standard" answer on that question is 3 years.
Technology seems to hit a new high in about that time frame.
However, from a practical standpoint, that could get expensive; you are buying the "latest" technology.
Five years is probably more the norm and besides if you wait a bit, all of the beta bugs and glitches will be worked out and all of the updates will be in one handy "service package."
Actually, if your computer is 10 years old, still working well, and your computing needs have not expanded, I wouldn't upgrade at all.
If you want to use the very latest software, or play the latest games, then, of course, your needs have expanded and you'll need to upgrade.
Hope this helps.....JT
PS---I would re-post this question in Entertainment and Music, sub category Polls and Surveys.
I think you'll get more responses there than here. Don't ask me why Yahoo in all their wisdom; HID Polls and Surveys under the Entertainment and Music category...go figure.

why does my newly assembled computer not start up ,and the fan starts spinning and immediately stops?
Tan
the computer starts spinning then stops immediately, and the computer does not start, is it a problem with the hardware?
Answer
As the others have said.
Let me add some things to consider. Do you get any beep codes? This can pinpoint your problem specifically ( however if you have multiple problems, it will only identify the first, and one that is fixed you may get a different code). How does your computer react after it shuts down? Does it try to come on again without you pushing start, shut down again, etc? If this is the case check your "on" and "reset" buttons. If your on button is stuck, broken, or improperly installed, it can cause such an on-off cycle.
Is your heatsink properly seated and did you properly apply thermal paste. If you were getting an immediate temperature spike in your cpu it would shut down to protect itself.
Are you sure you didn't leave any loose screws or wires in the case that may be causing a short?

What computer parts would be good for building an audio production computer?
Max Power
Hi I am trying to build a fast computer to use only for audio, this computer will be used to record and produce songs and audio, i have had trouble with past computers not being able to handle my massive projects, any suggestions on great computer parts or whole computers to use would be helpful, thanks in advance.
Also an estimated price and where would be the best source to buy from would be nice.
Answer
You may go for a strong processor with more cores like i7 as sound generation will stress out the processor. To support the processor you can have a medium type motherboard. Most of all get a good sound card. (Edirol, Creative etc) Those with a quiet Computer case it'll come in handy.
