Looking for opinions here. I currently have 2 Dell 2005 WFP displays (20 inch wide screen's 1680x1050) hooked up to my rig, and when im really doing work, I find I have been running out of space between the two monitors. I have been investigating getting a third monitor, but I am unsure of what...

I am about to sink about 2000$ into a new camera setup for myself, as I have outgrown my current equipment. I have a nikon D50 right now, with a 28-80, and an 80-300 lens. They both came as part of a kit that I bought, and as i learned, are slight relics from the film age. The 28-80 isnt bad...

I don't plan on moving to vista for awhile, and if I do, it would be for limited tasks that I could live without the third monitor for. Even then, if driver support for my 7800 dies, I will get a low end card when that happens, otherwise I don't see the reason to spend money if it still is...

[/B] Why do you say the second card would have to be an 8400GS? I am just planning on transplanting one of the 7800's I have and use it as the second card. Its not going to be doing anything above what it could handle.

I am in the process of building a new rig, and am doing my research on new video cards to put in it. The general consensus seems to be that the new 4870 is the way to go as far as "high end" cards are concerned. So here is my question: I was previously running 2 nvidia 7800 GT's across a dual...

I don't think AMD is going anywhere. Sure they have been producing less powerful chips then Intel has for awhile now, but that does not mean they have not been selling chips at all. I still see a lot of low end desktops and laptops running AMD based processors. I used to work at an...

Hey everyone, I will make this quick. I am trying to decide 3 sets of memory for my new build (Intel 9450, ASUS maximus 2 mobo). I am going to be doing moderate over clocking, but nothing insane. Overall, i want the most stable memory, thats also going to be adequate at over clocking. I got...

This is a really odd question for everyone, but I cant find any other group of people who would be able to give me good advice about the topic. Recently, my brother got his credit card numbers stolen and used. Now, my brother does not give his numbers to anyone. He does not use the internet...

Go DFI! RMA is a good idea for this problem. Once you get into completely unsolvable errors with DFI, time to give it the boot. I had a DFI a few months ago, and jsut got so pissed off, I bought a new ASUS board, and have not had ANY silly problems the DFI gave me.

Hey everyone, got a really odd question this time. I just reinstalled windows on my computer, after a reformat of my raid to get a nice clean place to put the new install. Well, everything went well, got all my drivers and components installed, and its up and running nicely now. However, it...

I will make this short and sweet. My roommate and I just bought a new Samsung 42 inch DLP TV. We have it set up in the living room, in our apartment. My question is, because he smokes inside, will the smoke eventually start to damage the DLP set? Will the dest collect on the lamp/color wheel/ or...

Ok, I jsut went out today and bought a Yamaha home theater system, with a amplifier and 5.1 speakers. I get it home, and hook it up to my Sound blaster X-Fi sound card. Now here is the problem. I am using the multi channel analog inputs to send the sound from the soundcard, to my amp...

The X-Fi will only output digital audio to 2.1 I have reciently run into this problem with my current speakers. Its a stupid anti piracy rights management thing. I am waiting for some community drivers that will enable digital 5.1 output. THe X-Fi is more then capable of doing it, but the big...

After remembering an interesting review from Maximum PC, I stumled across this little gadget that will convert the analog 5.1 signal, into digital... http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=13&subcategory=55&product=14191 Guess what? its made by creative... This sounds a...
