Okay, so I got a Pentium D computer (someone gave it to me), and I reinstalled the operating system, I am still waiting for x3 1GB sticks of RAM to arrive (currently has x2 512MB of RAM = 1GB).

But the thing is, the CPU usage get's really high and the CPU fans start to make a lot of noise when it comes to flash, some applications. and It does not have a graphics card. It is using a Intel 945G integrated video chip.

Does not having a video card affect your CPU usage?

If it does, I'm willing to buy one if it's needed.

Yes i think it does, other then that, where did you find the ultra PC, Microsoft uses these kind of PC's in Azure cloud hosting.

I have a Sony VAIO, it's a decent laptop but... i'm sick of laptops since it takes hard work to upgrade the components..

Just get a new PC, that one is total ancient shit.

I had that before; something was broken and I never attempted to find what exactly it was. My best bet would be the socket that was broken as I broke some pins was an old Pentium 4.

I don't think nothing is broken on this pentium D, it works fine and all but the CPU fan is what bothers me

Says the one with Constantinopole RP in his signature xD

But on the other hand, try getting a new PC with the new i3 Ivy Bridge processor or maybe even i5, with a decent graphics card it'll do fine in gaming.

You're probably getting that because that chipset is ancient. If you want usage to remain normal you need to be running Flash and other application versions released around the same time as that CPU.
