GPU = Video Card?
GPU= Graphics processing unit, the processor for the graphics card Graphics/Video Card= The circuit board that contains the GPU/ Video RAM that you slot into your motherboard Only 2 companies make retail GPU's and they are ATI and Nvidia while many other companies buy said GPU's or have a license to put them on their circuitboards whether their factory standard or the companies own designs accounting for the many different styles of video cards (Sapphire/XFX/Powercolour/EVGA/Asus/Palit/Inno3D etc)

Custom Building Computer
Go for ATI Cards this time round, more bang for your buck (4870, 4870X2) lol @ buying a high end graphics card for Runescape, when I got my new computer I was playing so many awesome games that Runescape pales in comparison to.

RAM [Answered]
Its not as simple as that, first of all you need to get a flashdrive that is compatible with that feature and it is a Vista exclusive. You won't see much benefit if you already have >1gb of Ram but really you shouldn't be running Vista with <1gb. ps. I'm upgrading to 4gb of Ram myself soon.

Computer upgrade ~AMD or Intel~
Yup, correct. It's made with 55nm technology instead of 8800gt' 65nm=Little bit less power hungry, little bit cooler and a little better to overclock with. Otherwise there's no difference in actual performance. Just re-named to sell more lol. and also 3x SLI support not that you would want to SLI 3 of them when you could get a card or two that performs better.

GPU = Video Card?
Its because with the newer core 2 duos come newer architecture (core 2 duos have 2 cores, P4s have 1, more cache among other things) and C2D's are much more efficient at number crunching and general computing tasks than Pentium 4s that run at a faster clock rate, use more power and hotter. So the Pentium 4 runs at a faster clock speed but any C2D even the entry level chips will wipe the floor with any Pentium 4. You GPU should be something like "Intel GMA xxx" as I assume it is integrated.

My idea for a handheld Xbox
And another thing, the amount of heat these graphics processors generate is quite alot ranging from as low as 50C idle to around 70C thus the reasons for bing heatsinks and fans, if the handheld is to output graphics close to the console, it will get hot fast burning hands and may not even get approval.

Nintendo are losing everything! /More ideas for Nintendo
Pokemon MMO. Good in theory as you can go around the massive environment capturing and leveling up your Pokemans, Pokemans PvP, trading and instances where you battle large pokemans such as Dragonite or w/e, but on paper it might be a bit different.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
RPD+Grip+Stopping power+Steady Aim As IMO RPD has the best Iron sights in the whole game, fast rate of fire and beastly noise. The grip can be exchanged for an RPG or triple Frag at the expense of some accuracy. Had an epic game with this kit, playing 32-man Winter Crash where I unleashed a torrent of 7.62x55mm rounds, killing 3 guys through a smoke grenade and when I ran outta Ammo, pulled out my Deagle and shot dead a further 2 people. Here is a pic of said kit ripping it it albeit not in said situation: [hide=][/hide]

The big thread on renewable fuels
Yeah, it kinda is, you just need a hydrocarbon and air to make it combust but you won't get any explosions with air so the compressed air is nothing but a glorified supercharger that uses its own store of air instead of taking it from the atmosphere.
