I had a PC built by a local shop a couple years ago and I'm not happy with the performance of the CPU. My new PC is actually slower than the 10 year old PC it replaced. The new PC has a Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H motherboard with 1150 socket ([url]http://www.gigabyte.us/Motherboard/GA-H97-D3H-rev-10#ov[/url]) and I believe my CPU is a Pentium G3240 or G3420. I'd like to upgrade to an intel i3 or and i5, if I can do so for around $200. There are several variants of the i3 and i5 on the market, and I'm not sure which I should get. Here is a list of compatible processors: [url]https://www.gigabyte.com/Ajax/SupportFunction/GetCpuList/?Value=5358&Type=Product[/url] Do I need to be concerned with the TDP (thermal design power)? The i5 processor I am considering (i5-4460) has a TDP of 84W, whereas my current processor has a TDP of 54W.

After spending 7 hours trying to get my printers to work I am hoping someone can give me a hand. Yesterday it just so happened I needed to replace my router and my switch. I thought this would be an easy unplug / plug in operation. No such luck. I cannot get my printers that are plugged into the switch to work. Netgear told me their device is working and that I need to do something (did not understand what they said) with the IP address of my printer. At that point it got over my head. My system is running XP. I have a cable modem that is ethernet connected to my 4 receptacle router. The router is connected to an 8 receptacle switch. My printers are connected to the switch via an ethernet cord. In addition, I just discovered that my wifi unit on another floor of our house (fed by an ethernet cord from the router) is not working either. I would sure appreciate if someone could explain to me in a simple fashion what I need to do to get my system to see my printers again and to get my wifi unit working again. FYI, am not real experienced with computers. TIA, BWSwede
