Is defragmenting bad for computers?

Defragmenting is a necessary part of computer maintenance for the hard disk drive to run more efficiently. In the grand scheme of computers, it puts the hard drive through its paces with reading, writing, erasing, and well, everything a hard drive is designed to do. In that sense, it pushes the hard drive closer to its MTBF point (Mean Time Between Failure); however, not to the point where you need to be "afraid of defragmenting your hard drive because it may fail tomorrow". That is certainly not the case. Just like life is meant to be lived, hard drives are meant to store your data.

Defragmenting your hard drive will save the computer time reading files it needs to access (whether by you prompting it or through your computer's normal disk activity). Consider this analogy:

- imagine for a moment you have a jigsaw puzzle of 5000 pieces

- this puzzle is spread out a little in each room of your house

- in each room, you have several tables on which parts of the puzzle are assembled

- your goal is to see the whole picture of the jigsaw puzzle Imagine how much time it would take to go around to each room just to get the "big picture". Of course, it would be more efficient to have the pieces of the puzzle assembled in one area so you can take it all in. So it is with defragmenting. It takes the pieces of different parts of a file and makes them more efficient to read. This, in turn, speeds up performance of your computer. This translates to programs starting faster, your computer being more responsive to your commands, applications working more smoothly, etc. Overall, defragmenting is not bad for the computer, just a necessary piece of maintenance that goes along with the ebb and tide of file changes (adding/deleting programs, saving and deleting documents, etc.)

What kind of processor should you get for running large programs that would keep the computer fairly cheap?

Any of the major manufacturers; AMD processors such as a Sempron of the Athlon. Intel Pentium 4 etc..

The performance of any computer and hence it's software, benefit from having adequate memory installed. This is almost as important as the processor that's used.

Go for at least 512MB of memory. Most motherboards these days only support DDR memory, which is fast than SD RAM.

i think stick with p4 for that one because amd works allot better with games than large programs like image editing and mp3 encoding and do't listen to the rumours that the p4 fans die out all fans die out eventually

AMD Athlon 64. Go for 2+gHz, x2 (dual core). AMD processors are cheaper but just as good if not better than Intel. You just pay for the cheap 1 cent Intel sticker if you go for Intel. If you want Intel, that's okay too.

FAN IT TO THE MAX!!! Fans are cheap! Buy them!

I would suggest the Intel core 2 duo, comes cheap and delivers what you expect!!!!

Frankly, I would go for one of the pentiums, maybe the Pentium 4 CPU. It's cheap, you can get 20 on eBay for $50 dollars, it's common, so you can just find a cheap motherboard that has a 775 socket. It's not as bad as Celeron or Atom, and it's not as expensive or ultra-powerful as the i3/i5/i7 CPUs. But, if you want one that is also cheap, but is more in the 64-bit range, go for a cheap 604 socket Xeon. SeanHolshouser

What is the bandwidth of AGP?

Short answer: 2 GigaBytes per second.

Long answer: 2GB/s with 8X card and 8X motherboard bandwidth between card and motherboard. Which says nothing about a video card's internal bandwidth (GPU to built-in video memory) which is irrelevant as today's games even exceed that.
