I'm putting together an HTPC with some spare parts I have, I just need to get a 775 socket CPU and an enclosure, which I think I have picked out. I'm looking for something around $130 or less that can can OC well, I'd like to do some gaming on this pc and want to get as much speed as I can for...

I want to eventually get an eyefinity setup, I'm going to be running 3 samsung t260hd's, 25.5" and 1920x1200, I have one right now and will be buying two in the future. My current system is a q6600 @ 3.5 ghz with 4gb ddr2@1066 (may go up to 8 gb). I may upgrade my cpu to something better to...

I have a SuperTalent 64GB UltraDrive ME coming in the mail tomorrow and I saw in a thread in hotdeals for the drive I'm getting there was a new firmware for OCZ Vertex and Agility SSDs which increased performance by quite a bit, actually a lot more than the new supertalent one does...

I have some parts lying around that I thought about selling and today I was messing around with my samsung t260hd with a cable tuner and remote, i didn't realize I could get so many HD channels and how great they looked, not sure if I can get all the ones I can get on my dvr tuner or not...

I heard you could find overlays on eBay that you could put over a monitor to make it a touchscreen. I'm having trouble finding the parts though and was wondering if anyone had done this before. I've seen guides on how to build one from scratch but I'm lazy and not really wanting to go through...

I've decided on getting an HP tx2z touchsmart tablet. The cheaper models were like $850 but when I look at the processor options the price goes up dramatically. I'm fine with the 320 gb hdd because I'm going to get a larger SSD when prices get lower and I'm not going to install large games on...

I'm going to upgrade my crappy asrock 4coredual to what I've read is the best p45 mobo but for crossfire it only has a 16x and a 8x pci-e slot. I have a sapphire 4890 toxic, if I were to eventually get another one for crossfire is that 8x enough or would it bottleneck...

I'm not sure whether to upgrade my current system or go to i7. My current build is as follows: Seagate 1.5 gb hdd corsair hx620 psu sapphire 4890 toxic 2 x 1gb patriot ddr Intel Q6600 Creative X-Fi Fatality Asrock 4coredual sata2 (via chipset, has agp and pci-e plus ddr+ddr2) So I...

I'm looking to upgrade my asrock 4coredual (crap) to something that will get my systems full potential. I recently got a 4890 toxic, and have a q6600, which cannot be oc'd on this current board. What I'm looking for is something with crossfire, great ocing abilities, gigabit ethernet and all...

I'm getting a new video card soon, I think my video card is killing my monitors. I bought a 25" i-inc that died after a week, I thought it was junk so I got a samsung t260 and it died after a few days as well and on my current lcd the dvi input stopped working... so I want to get a new video...

I just got my ps3 and have been trying out things like streaming media and folding (for Neowin!). I am going to install Linux to mess around with and I'm going to try running MAME and various other emulators. I haven't used Linux before so my first question is which is the best version for the...

I have to use IE for a website I use for my work. I can resize the window but every time I put information into the site or refresh it the window maximizes again. Is there an option to turn this off so it stays at the size I set it at? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What is a good app to use for authoring DVDs? I tried Nero Vision but didn't like it and the templates were horrible.

I got my Corsair 620hx a few weeks ago and after a few days it started making a clicking sound like the fan was rubbing on something. I moved it around a little bit and it was fine for a few more days and started again. I took it out and loosened one of the screws on the psu case and that...

I've been trying to find a new psu, but every time I think I find something I like I read something bad about it and then I'm not so sure anymore. I'm looking to spend no more than $120-130. It needs to be at least 580 watts (the more the better) and have a 120 fan or bigger on the bottom...

I'm getting a new power supply and I was wondering if this one is any good: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16817128001 It's a Hiper Type-R 580w PSU. It's more than enough to run my current system but I was wondering if will be enough for the next few years. Eventually I'll...

Once in a while I like to hook up my comp to my 51" HD Projection and play some Counter-Strike:Source. The only problem with this is that the text in the chat/message thing on the bottom left is blurry and hard to read. I'm connected through DVI and using 720p. Is there any command or anything I...

I just got a dvi to component adapter so I could play some games with some friends on my big screen this weekend. When I hook it up I just get corruption on the screen. I've checked all the DIP settings and everything and it won't let me use my monitor and the hdtv at the same time, so I can't...

Just wondering what everyone thought of the name Windows Vista.

Is there anyway to speed up or optimize windows media player for better sound quality? I've read articles on how to do it with winamp and I thought it might be possible to do something like that with wmp. I am using onboard sound on my nf3 with Logitech z-5300e speakers and I use windows media...

Is there a way to take all the discs from unreal tournament 04 or far cry and put them onto 1 dvd for easier installation?

Hello I'm going to put some LEDs in my case and I was wondering what they should be hooked up to. I think they run on 5v, but I'm not sure. I have some molex connectors. What voltage and what color wires should they be hooked to? Thanks. :cool:

This might not be the right area for this post, but I was going to buy a spindle of 100 blank dvds and I was wondering which format is most compatible with dvd players, dvd-r or dvd+r. I have a backup on a dvd+r which works fine, but I wanted to ask someone before I went and bought 100 of them.

I've been trying to find a firewall for xp pro 64-bit. I can't use my norton internet security 2005. I'm using Avast! for antivirus, that's the only one I could find that would work. I tried zonealarm, but it doesn't work either, and I don't want to rely on windows firewall. I also tried...

I just installed the evaluation version of windows xp professional 64-bit and I was wondering if there is anyway to change the user name. Right now it is set at Administrator and when I click on that and go to where I would have gone to change it in xp home there is no option to change the user...

I just downloaded the trial version of xp-64 and I want to try it out but I don't want to risk losing my current install of xp home. How do you make a dual boot startup? Should I create a separate partition for it? And how are your experiences with it if you are currently using it? Any help...

I recently sent in my Leadtek 6800gt for an rma... something went very wrong... so I stuck my trusty Leadtek 5900xt in my comp and it was fine for about a week. I had used this card for more than a year, it has a modded leadtek bios in it, it was running at 450/928, and could run higher with...

I was wondering what settings I should have in in the speed/duplex setting of my nforce3 gigabit ethernet adapter. Currently it is set to full autonegotiation. I have a motorola surfboard cable modem. Also there is an optimize for cpu/throughput setting, does either matter? Anything that...

Hi. I have been having problems ocing my Leadtek 6800gt. I'm currently using a bfg 6800 ultra oc bios on it and have used the leadtek gt bios with a .1 increase on the voltage to get higher overclocks. The problem is that sometimes it will freeze up and become corrupted and sometimes reboot...

I'm buying a power supply this weekend and I have it narrowed down to these two supplies: A Seasonic S12-430 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-151-023&depa=1 and an OCZ Modstream 450 http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-154&depa=1 I can't...

I've been looking to get a new psu this weekend. I'm thinking of getting a Seasonic S12 430 watt power supply. I'm not sure if it will be enough power for my system and if it will be good for overclocking. My current system includes a dfi lanparty nf3 250gb, a64 3000+ newcastle @ 2400 mhz...
