Would a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670 be likely to bottleneck an Intel i5 430M running on "low" settings and medium textures at 1600x900 Windowed Fullscreen?

No, the Mobility Radeon HD 4670 should be able to comfortably run low. i5-430M is the issue later in the game, when fps dips.

Would an old mobo and/or weak power supply on the 12v negatively affect gpu overclocking? How would I diagnose and confirm these problems?

Thanks.

If your computer crashes when the gpu is under heavy load after an overclock, it's possible your psu could be the cause, but there's no point getting a new one on the off chance it's not the gpu being run too fast.

Oh yeah, forgot to address that.

Seems like a bad PSU and motherboard would have a pretty marginal effect on overclocking, if any, unless it's really really bad—and mostly then, issues would be more like the system crashing or shutting down.

To know for sure, you would use a different PSU. Or maybe test the PSU with gear that costs orders of magnitude more than a great PSU.

No as long as your transmission to the ustream server is stable, the capacity of your viewers is reliant on the ustream servers (as with virtutally any other broadcaster).

Usually the software that controls the touchpad has some sort of disable feature. Or there's a physical button that will allow you to turn off the touchpad.

Are Razer mice or SteelSeries mice better for gaming. I heard that both are complete shit.

I had a work laptop that initially didn't have the ability to automatically turn off the touchpad when a mouse was connected, but with a software update was able to get the feature, so keep that in mind.

Personal preference I'd say. I hate Razer mice, though.

Probably a noob question.Are internal hard drives for laptops and desktops the same?

I have a 2.5" hard drive that is now pretty much dead. Can I use any other 2.5" hard drive or there are some limitations,potential problems or anything else I should know?

Desktop drives are 3.5", notebook drives are 2.5". Yes, you can just buy any 2.5" SATA drive and plug it in if your notebook is SATA as well.

They are, but the Razer Deathadder is shit in less important ways for a performance oriented gamer/enthusiast than most of the steelseries lineup

On my two computers my Chrome internet browser can't display Korean letters (hangul). It always comes up as squares. The same thing happened in skype the other day. Any suggestions? Please and thank you.

I took out my second gpu (a geforce 560) to sell to a friend and after removing it my monitor does not detect an input. Is there anything special I need to do when reverting from SLI back to a single card?

You might have your remaining card in a secondary slot. Some (most?) motherboards require you to use slot "1" in a single card configuration. Slot 1 being the one highest vertically (closest to your CPU) when your case is upright.
