    Looking for a tune-up

    I just found out that all of the drivers I need are available for XP Pro for this notebook, so all I need to do is download them, install XP, and sneakernet the drivers to the notebook. I do appreciate all of your help. I think I will be just fine with what I've got, once the 4gb of ram...

    Looking for a tune-up

    In my original post I said I'm not looking for anything amazing. I agree that it doesn't have enough memory, and that's my first stop for getting more performance out of it. On another note, I have to call BS on the idea that you have to spend $2000 to get a laptop worth gaming on. This...

    Looking for a tune-up

    I just bought a new laptop (Acer 5520), and I would like to get it to run LOTRO a bit better. I'm not looking for blazing fast awesome graphics, but as it is right now, the game is unplayable. According to www.srtest.com, this computer should run the game just fine, and if I give it a bit...

    8800 GTS installation question

    I just got this card from Newegg. I'm in the process of installing it and I see that it has a PCI-E power socket on the card itself. I also have one on the mobo... Do I need to connect both of them? If I connect them both will it damage something? If I don't connect both of them will...

    What Gives? (GeForce 7300 GT)

    yeah, I went and looked on Newegg, and there is a 7600GT from EVGA that's even sexier than the one you linked, and it's still under $100. Since I still have all the SLI bits, I could easily wait a week and get two of these, instead of two 7300s, and really blow my eyeballs out. Really all...

    What Gives? (GeForce 7300 GT)

    Sean: The back of the box has a little chart, and only the 7600 and 7900 (as high as the chart goes) are checked for "SLI Capable". I also can't find this card on the nVidia website for SLI cards... IceDigger Maybe you should read the initial post before posting something rude...

    What Gives? (GeForce 7300 GT)

    I have a GeForce 7300GT card, made by Biostar, and I just noticed something that may end up pissing me off. I got this card with the intention of getting another one so that I could set up SLI when I had the money for one. Now that I have the cash, it is starting to look like the 7300 can't...

    Trouble with Linksys Network Monitor software

    It says my signal strength is "Excellent" and speed is 54.0 Mbps, then it goes kerflooey. At the moment my DSL is seriously boned, so I'm going to hold off on changing this around until that's taken care of. I don't know when that will be, and I may end up just getting cable because this...

    When I use windows wireless zero configuration, it disconnects and reconnects every two or three minutes.

    Trouble with Linksys Network Monitor software

    well, it's a 10 hour work day, but I still have to get there and back :P Anyway, does anyone else have any ideas? I would also be interested in hearing if anyone knows how I can get my stuff to work using the Windows wireless networking stuff.

    Trouble with Linksys Network Monitor software

    I checked before posting and I did not find a more recent version of the software and driver. I have no idea about the router firmware, and I'm not sure about the precise to-the-megabyte measurement on the memory. I have a G15 keyboard with a processor/memory module for the display. It...
