    Folding on Laptop?

    Dad's buying me a laptop for my college graduation. Probably going to be around the $900-1000 range so it'll have a decent processor and possibly a 9800M or so graphics wise. He thinks I'll be using it when I get moved to a general manager position at a new restaurant over the summer, but it'll...

    Need a basic, small, easy printer

    I'm tired of trying to get this garbage HP wifi printer that's upstairs to work. The wi-fi only works if you reinstall the printer every time you want to use it. The USB mode doesn't work on anything but a new HP. Pathetic waste of $240. I really need a small-ish easy to use printer for super...

    Mass Effect

    Friend gave me Mass Effect for 360 so I could experience it before the second game comes out but I have some questions. At what point does the game hook you in? I'm on the ship right now after I was promoted and the previous officer stepped down.. I chose where I wanted to go, but how long...

    Mobo/CPU Question for a Friend

    You guys have always been helpful so I thought I'd give my roommate a [H]ard answer on what he should get for his PC rather than speaking from experience, considering I've been stuck with AMD for 3 years now. He plays mostly WoW and CS:S on his computer with the occasional CoD 5. He's already...

    Mobo installation question

    If I were to install a new motherboard into my case, would I have to re-install XP? I'll be going from my 5000+ to a 9850 Phenom and I'm almost positive I'll be buying this M3A78 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131331 Something in my head is telling me it's...

    M2N32-SLI Deluxe BSOD'ing with Phenom 9850

    I just received my 9850 for my m2n32-sli deluxe wifi and got a gtx 285 since I qualified for 10% cashback. I booted the PC up and every time it makes it to the background of my desktop and starts loading icons the computer freezes up and immediately BSODs and theres not enough time to catch a...

    Not sure if my PSU can support a new vid card

    The one thing I don't really know much about in computers is PSUs. Honestly the systems I've set up for work have not needed something more than a 420W, considering none of them have video cards to power. I have this PSU, an Enermax Noisetaker II which is 600W. The box reads that it has a +12V...

    Video Card Sizes

    I'm not sure if I'm the only person who's concerned, but my mid-ATX tower is starting to worry me. Have had this case for about 4 years, it's a Cooler Master Praetorian 730. Over these 4 years the video cards have just gotten bigger and bigger, and personally I was wondering if anyone else has...

    Buying new mobo and cpu, have a question.

    I'm getting an E8400 + P5Q Pro while I can save $55 on the combo on Newegg.. and I was wondering if I'd have to reinstall the OS and all that nonsense, and possibly lose all the content on my hard drive. Just a simple question :) But just in case, I'm going from an AM2 5000+/Asus m2n32-sli...

    To wait, or not to wait!

    Hey guys, just looking for some advice. I'm really looking to upgrade my CPU/Mobo because my m2n32-sli deluxe wifi is really unstable and my 5000+ AM2 is too outdated for my liking. My question is, should I get the E8400 + P5Q Pro combo at newegg for ~265 before tax, or should I wait the...
