Im building a computer and i am wondering which processor i should use. I dont game all that much, but i do use multiple operations at once at times. Should i go to Core 2 Duo and take the extra money to get more Ram?
Answer
Depends on what prices you can get both for. Core 2 Quad would be good if you do a LOT of multi-tasking, but otherwise a Core 2 Duo is fine too.
I personally use a Core 2 Duo (E4400, one of the slower models) and I can have like 20 tabs on Firefox, a 3D map editor, MSN and a virus scanner open without any slowdown (on 2 screens, too).

Can someone answer my questions about the 3-D printer?
Joey
Is there any limits to what it can make? Is it illegal to make certain things out of the 3D printer? If so,tell me. How much money is a 3D printer?If I put a puppy in the scanner, would it be able to replicate the puppy? How does the 3-D printer know if something should move or not?
Answer
Let me answer your questions one at a time:
1. Is there any limits to what it can make?
Right now, yes. In the future, no. The technology today is not advanced enough to make anything. The most common materials used now are plastic, resin, and recently the technology has grown to include metal. Food (lots of chocolate) has recently been printed as have organic materials such as stem cells. However, right now the biggest constraints of 3D printing is size. Soon one can conceivably print things as big as buildings, but for now most printers are relatively small (12in.X12in. though there are some much larger commercial printers). The future of 3D printing will also allow for printing on a molecular level, but for now the technology can only print in the micro scale.
2. Strictly speaking there are no laws against printing anything in 3D. However, laws exist that prohibit the manufacturing of certain goods and these apply to things that a 3D printer can conceivably make. An example of something that is illegal to print in the U.S. is a full gun. One can print parts of a gun legally, but cannot print a whole gun.
3. The cost of a 3D printer varies greatly. One can buy a 3D printer for the home for as little as $499. Commercial 3D printers cost much more and can run upwards of $30,000. With the continual advancement of the technology you can expect to see the prices drop as time goes on.
4. If you scan a puppy in 3D, a printer can print it in 3D. It would most likely be made out of plastic or resin though, not nice soft puppy fur.
5. 3D printers can print moving parts. When an item is programed into the software it maps out exactly where to lay down material. Because 3D printing is additive manufacturing it doesn't print the parts one by one, but instead prints the whole object layer by successive layer. If the programing is correct then moving parts can be included in the printed final product.
