Building a gaming computer
Not for $1200. Hiss. Intel is generally higher quality. There may be specific things that lead to such, but that's the generality of it. For a medium sized budget (say, $1200), AMD is good because you'll get the power for cheaper, even if it's slightly less reliable. For something really high-end, you'd best be shooting for an i7. I use an AMD Phenom II x4 (Black Edition), and I haven't had any problems (at least, nothing seemingly related to my processor). Oh, and an OS (Windows) and monitor will probably sum up to close or past $300. Windows Home Premium x64 is $120 max. Monitors are going for ~$100 too. I'd say he's within budget. The i7 has 8MB of L2 though :s and overclockable.

PC Computer Graphics Card/PSU Upgrade
Personally, I would not try to fit it. If I were you, given your situation, I'd buy a decent laptop that will do very well for your work as well as RS.

I have to say, I don't really know the difference between AMD and Intel Processors. i7-950 is 3.06GHz quad core, whereas you can get an AMD Athlon II X4 640 Propus 3.0GHz for $99.99...? But yeah, that give you $300 to play around with for monitor+keyboard+mouse+os. Do forgive me if I've missd anything from the list... :P

PC Computer Graphics Card/PSU Upgrade
I had that dell computer that you had. I'm 95% sure that the PSU is a different size to standard PSU's, so you can not upgrade it. I can't say about the graphics card - I upgraded mine but it was only 1 expansion slot high, not 2. If I were you, I would just go the whole way and ditch dell. Buy a case, a new motherboard, a new PSU and a new GFX card. Yes, it will be a lot more expensive. But if your motherboard/PSU breaks in that current setup, you're going to have to do that anyway. It is a lot better to ditch Dell's non-standard parts and get fully standard easily upgradable parts, so you can just replace the components that fail - not the entire computer. I highly reccomend doing this. Tech details of case: it is BTx format, not ATx format (which is standard). The PSU is more square in this dell case, and will not fit in ATx cases. The motherboard is the same. I had this exact machine and those are the problems I faced.

Organizing my computer help
Moving around the files won't make much of a difference, but deleting duplicates will. Check for duplicate songs in iTunes and delete one of them. You could always buy a new hard drive if your problem is with space. They're pretty cheap nowadays. How big is your current one? You can get a terabyte hard drive for as low as US$55, and just stick all of your music on there. I might just be a organisational freak, but life is a lot easier if all similar files (ie. music, video, programs etc) are in the same place. At least, I think your problem is with organising music and also hard drive space. Could you be more specific, it's quite hard to see what you're trying to ask?

Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans
I don't live in America, but it seems to be a step towards more government control. It does, however, just seem like one of those crazy ideas that gets put out there, though about, and dropped anyway. And how is it in any way practical? I've no idea how many internet users are in America, but it would be an enourmous effort to give everyone one of these e-ID Card thigs for practically no result. What are the government trying to achieve anyway? If it went through, I'd strongly oppose it, but I really just think this is some idea that's been taken a little further than it normally would, but ultimately will be dropped.

Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!
The door is in Latin. "Life is short, in a short time it will be finished death arrives faster than anyone believes Death annihilates all and pity on no one" Jagexfail though, you don't capitalise in Latin except for names.

Maxing construction
SC Hammers are worth it, especially if you don't mind stealing creation too much. Saves a tonne of money. Oak dungeon doors are the way to go for a while, up to 80 at least.

Changing x86 program files location
I've just upgraded to Windows 7 x64. I've managed to change my 'Program files' DIR from C:\ to E:\, but not the 'Program files x86 folder. I don't know if this is because I already have stuff installed in it or something? ie. I've installed stuff into the x86 folder before changing the path in the registry and restarting. I've changed the locations by editing the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion Here's what it looks like. These haven't been changed since restart.

Building a gaming computer
I'm thinking 1TB HDD, i7 970 or 960/950 (I don't know how good hexcore tech is), 6GB DDR3, hence a socket 1366+ddr3ram motherboard. I'll have a look for speific parts in the morning. Meanwhile, some advice on what sort of monitor/keyboard/mouse you want - we can give suggestions, but not pick for you, because it really is personal preference.

From Flab to Abs.
I can't help you with any of the actual exercise, but I've had/have the same problem w/ the coke as you. I found that buying a water cooler (not terribly expensive) and sticking it next to my desk stopped me drinking quite so much (I guess drinking coke was just for quenching my thirst).

Essay Help :O
This. You want to set your essay out very clearly. Structure makes it a lot easier to convey the point you are trying to make. At the moment your essay has quite vague points, you really want to work on setting out very clearly on what you are going to talk about in a specific paragraph - it really does make it a lot easier to write. You might also want to run it through a spelling/grammar checker before handing it in - there are a few grammatical mistakes. Point - What is your paragraph about? Introduce it, but don't go into detail, and no quotes. Evidence - Quotes. I know it's sometimes hard to find them, I for one hate trawling through a book to find them - but they are needed if you want that A/B grade. If it's a general theme throughout the play, you can paraphrase, but ideally you'd have a quote. Analysis/Explain - Explain why the quote proves the point you are trying to make. This is your place to shine, but evidence is essential. Out of interest, are you in Y10 or 11?

just got living rocks as a slayer task
They should be easy at your level. Bring normal melee equipment, and perhaps go on W84 if you don't mind a bit of lag, to help the miners out. Drops are mediocre, not amazing, but ok. I would do it.

Dragon Claws vs Dragon Dagger
I would imagine because claws are faster, and deal more damage in a set amount of time.

f2p cooking
Al-kahrid is good, the bank is quite close to the range. Or Edgeville also has a reasonably close bank to a range. I would do one of those two, they're about the same. Edgeville may be a tiny bit quicker, not sure though.

Combat training
I want to get 90/90/90 attack/strength/defence #1 : Is a sara sword worth it over a dragon scimitar for speedy training? #2 : Am I right in thinking it's best to get strength up first, so you can hit higher? Then attack, then defence, but the main thing is strength I think. Amirite? Thanks :)

Windows XP -> Windows 7
Cheers for all of the answers. The way to go I think is I will buy Premium then if needs be, buy an upgrade pack to Professional. If anyone else has information regarding Premium vs Professional in terms of compatibility of Win XP products, that would be great (my issue isn't with Win7 compatibility in general, just whether or not Home Premium will be able to run Win XP programs)
