Hey hows everyone doing? Lol, thanks for reading my thread. I'm currently have a couple q's.
1.) How good is my current computer? Like I've tried looking for benchmarks for the P4 3.06ghz but can't seem to find any. Is equal to or better than its AMD counterpart the AMD 64 3200+, or AMD 64 3400+? I ran cpu-z and heres a list of my specs.

2.) I'm still wondering if cpu-z gave me the correct ram specs. I always thought I had pc2700 ram, but it looks like I have pc3200 ram. However in the program it said it's max bandwidth was 200mhz. I cant seem to find any pc3200 ram at 200mhz, incase I wanted to upgrade... Any help here??
(Currently I have dual channels of 256mb, and 2 more free slots.)
3.) I'm planning to do some spring cleaning, like opening my case, and getting rid of the dust that has built up for the past year. What should I know when cleaning the inside of my case? Should I buy an anti-wrist wrap or a can of compressed air? Or can I just bring my vacum cleaner and use its hose to suck everything out?? Lol, I dont want to damage anything so please suggest something reasonable.
Thanks for reading, I appreciate any and all comments.
