    Newer OS for an older computer?

    So my computer is from 2009, and I'm wondering if I'd still be able to get a bit more time out of it by moving to a newer OS or if it's time to bite the bullet and get a new computer. Current usage of the computer is email, web browsing, and a bit of gaming with most of the gaming being on the...

    Does anyone know of any decent and inexpensive routers that have a external button/switch that allows the wireless to be turned on and off?

    Asus VE228H

    Does anyone have any experience with the Asus VE228H? I've been looking for some info on the monitor, however the review at Phoronix is the only one I've found so far.

    IDE drives in Sata only computer?

    Looking around at PCI IDE controllers I came across the Syba SY-PCI45004 does anyone know if it is any good and works with Vista x64? Looks like it would do what I need and isn't too expensive but I can't find much information about it. Also for the sata to molax adapters, I assume this would...

    IDE drives in Sata only computer?

    I've got a couple IDE hard drives and I would like to continue using them for storage rather then just letting them sit around unused. However my current computer doesn't have any ide ports or molex power connectors. I've been looking around for items that would allow me to continue use the...

    A few vista questions.

    Any reason to use a primary partition over an extended partition when it won't be used to install an operating system? Nothing in particular, I haven't did much pc gaming in recent years so I was just looking for general information.

    A few vista questions.

    Wondering if I could get some help in regards to a Vista system. I have a single 500GB hard drive that I'm thinking of partitioning so that I have less to worry about in the event that I need to reinstall my operating system. I understand that you want growing space to handle program files...

    Dell Studio

    Been somewhat busy but I've got around to further looking into them. I've configured the following Dell Studio build and was wondering if there were any real problems with it. It will be a general use computer and probably be ran at a resolution of 1280x1024 or 1400x900. Dell Stuido...

    Dell Studio

    About a year ago I was looking into building a computer through AvaDirect however some issues came up that prevented me from going through with the purchase. After looking around for a bit it would appear that it is no longer advised to buy a system through Avadirect . I've started looking...

    Help choosing a card.

    The HD 4850 looks interesting but I'd have to say it runs too hot currently for me to seriously consider getting it at this point in time.

    Help choosing a card.

    Looking into getting one of theses cards, EVGA GeForce 9600 GT KO and EVGA GeForce 8800GT Superclocked. Currently using an older crt monitor that has a max resolution of 1280x1024, may get a new monitor down the line but its not high priority. I don't have any plans for overclocking and will...

    Build Advice

    After looking into the build more I've come up with the configuration below, which is based off the Core™2 DDR2 Performance Series System build at AVA. Was wondering if there would be any issues with the configuration or if there are any changes I should make. COOLERMASTER, Centurion...

    Build Advice

    I'm looking to get a new computer. Looking into ordering from AVA Direct, customized off of this. While I do some computer gaming, it's not something I consider a top priority. I have no plans or interest in overclocking. I'm hoping for it to run as quiet and cool. I'm primarily looking...

    New hard drive

    I'm currently using an old win98se computer with two hdds in it, one 13GB that it came with and an 80GB that I put in latter. Space is starting to run low so I've thought about getting a new hdd however this computer is getting to be quite old and I do plan on getting a new one once I have the...

    Looking for a new computer

    I honestly see little reason to even try and get a Velocity Micro. Looked into it and it seems to me that putting together a system as close as possible to the Gateway setup comes out to be nearly the same in price, if not more expensive. I am a little tired so it is possible I screwed something...
