    Upgrade All-in-one desktop

    I don't know if it is getting slower or I am just used to my PCs, which are much faster. I know about SSD hard drives, I have one in my PC and laptop. It came with a certificate for Window 7 32bit, which I sent in and now have a disc for. I suppose installing that on a new drive would be the...

    Upgrade All-in-one desktop

    I bought my Wife this MSI All in one deal last year: http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=363&Itemid=66 It is on a small desk in the kitchen so a regular PC wouldn't have worked. While I have no reason to expect otherwise, it seems unnecessarily slow to me...

    I'm selling Doom 3 and Far Cry on eBay

    Well I don't read everything, everytime I want to post something. I never made a post refering to ebay before and if a administrator moves it to "for sale", that would be great. I hope I didn't offend anyone else. MIKE

    I'm selling Doom 3 and Far Cry on eBay

    I finished Far Cry and Doom 3 and I figured I should sell them while they are still current. I had Doom 3 on ebay all week and have no bids? I must have listed in the wrong category. Here they are: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8126791777&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT...

    Analog or DVI inputs for new LCD

    Thanks for all the input everybody. I am liking the Envision, but have one problem. Although it seems brighter than my old LCD and is very crisp, it seems dark sometimes too. Like if I am playing BF1942, the outdoor scenes are very bright and gorgeous, but if I go into a building, it is very...

    Analog or DVI inputs for new LCD

    I did return it and got an Envision 19" LCD with both DVI and analog inputs. It looks great and I am glad I did. Cheaper too. It would have bothered me for years to come. Thanks, MIKE

    My new 5950ultra and cooling problems

    Well I sent the second one back to Newegg and the gave me a full credit! No restocking fee! Those guys are awesome. Ususally you have to decide on best price or best service, Newegg gives both! I guess I need an ATI product now. What would be a good step up from a Ti4600? I'm thinking 9800pro...

    Dual output on my 4600Ti and DVD playing

    It works! I set it for dual view and I started the DVD, then dragged the box of the edge of the screen to the other monitor then maximized it. NICE! Thanks, MIKE

    Dual output on my 4600Ti and DVD playing

    I have a PNY 4600Ti with both analog and DVI outputs. I have the DVI to my LCD monitor and just connected the analog to my new LCD TV set. I found how to clone the picture and have both on at once. I also found a way to span both screens and a have a huge stretched desktop. I would like to...

    Analog or DVI inputs for new LCD

    I just came home with a Samsung 192n 19" LCD. To my suprise, there is no DVI input, just analog. I thought they all had DVI nowdays. I was disapointed, but hooked it up anyway. It looks great! Very bright and clear. So the question is: if it looks good, does it matter? My initial thought was...

    My new 5950ultra and cooling problems

    I like hot rodding as much as the next guy, but I am not upgrading the cooling on a stock board! I could have bought a cheaper model then overclocked and cooled it. Funny, the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 is the game that stesses it most. I tried Call of Duty, and BF1942, both on max detail and...

    My new 5950ultra and cooling problems

    I understand that nothing actually melts or burns at 90c, but then why does it start perfroming poorly? Stuttering, artifacts, etc at high temps? MIKE

    My new 5950ultra and cooling problems

    Well I got my replacement card and installed it. I used the 53.03 drivers and started golfing again. This time it seems I can hear the GPU fan speed up when I start, BUT it still acts up. After 10-15 minutes the GPU temp is over 90 degrees Celsius. The game starts stuttering and there starts to...

    My new 5950ultra and cooling problems

    I already yanked it out and put back the 4600Ti I had before. I had to steal that back from my 11 year old and put back his 440MX in his rig. He wasn't happy about it. Newegg had an online RMA that shows a 15% restocking for returns or send it in for repair. Those are the only 2 choices! I...

    My new 5950ultra and cooling problems

    I just put in a Leadtek A380 5950FX Ultra in my P4 3.06 system. The Benchmarks read good and some games are real smooth, but some games make it really hot. I was playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004 with all the graphic options on high, and the temp sensor on the card began to beep. I don't have it...
