OK, get AMD, they are better for gaming plus they are cheaper. Pentium 4s arent very good compared to AMD A64s, and AXPs are way cheaper then P4s, and faster. Go with AMDs. And no offense, but for that 1227 you spent on that one comp, thats a shitty computer.
might be a jack somewhere of his phones or they might be wifi or something. tell him to look in his instruction manual for that info, then go to the website of the maker and look for any software, firmware or application updates for his product. download them and install em. see if any of that...
