    Laptop Suggestions, Your Help Appreciated!

    I got an old Acer Travelmate 250, which I think they no longer make :) . It has functioned perfectly well with no errors at all, and my only gripe would be that I can't change the graphics card, since it is integrated into the motherboard and uses shared memory. Just check that before you buy...

    Does that mean I am stuck with finding an old PCI card (if it is built into the motherboard as mentioned above)? :eek:

    Window XP BSODs: Ever get them? How often?

    Haven't got any BSODs in 2 years of running it! I suppose I haven't been testing the limits of it though.

    Laptop Suggestions, Your Help Appreciated!

    I would go for an Acer Travelmate 8005 LMI laptop as it seems pretty decent : - it has a 15" screen (with a 1400 x 1050 res.) which isn't too bad. - Graphics is definitely acceptable and it should be able to handle most games. - Has a battery life of up to 5 hours. - Has only 512MB RAM, but...

    z5500 vs. klipsch pro media 5.1

    I would take the Klipsch ones on the basis that Klipsch sounds so cool :rolleyes: . If you can't hear any sound difference, then let things like physical appearance be taken into account.

    Compatibility Checker

    I was on the Crucial site and they have a great little program which tells you which memory will be compatible with your system. Of course you don't have to buy from there, but you could take the specifications it gives you and use them to find compatible memory from other suppliers. Have a...

    Screen Resolution

    Ok thanks. That means I do not have to consider the resolution when I buy my next Graphics card :) .

    Screen Resolution

    Oh dear :o ... I was wondering if a '14.1" XGA TFT LCD' monitor generally has a limit of 1024 x 768. If I bought a Graphics Card which is advertised as enabling a maximum resolution of some value greater than 1024 x 768, would I be able to get the resolution up any more, or do these monitors...

    Screen Resolution

    I have a 14.1" XGA TFT LCD monitor apparently (it says it on the front). If I was to purchase a Graphics Card enabling a screen resolution of 2048 x 1536, would I be able to push past the current maximum resolution of 1024 x 768, or would my monitor refuse to do it?

    Screen Resolution

    So however good my Graphics Card is, will my maximum resolution be limited by the monitor?

    Screen Resolution

    Is this determined by Graphics Card or Monitor :o ?

    Simple Question

    Ok. Having delved deeper I have encountered another problem - it seems that the price for a card with 128mb performance can vary hugely. Is there another major performance determining factor than the MBs?

    Simple Question

    How do I know what to buy if I want to upgrade my old graphics? I know nothing about graphics, and looking in the properties and on the internet has produced a whole swamp of jargon such as "chipset" and "AGP" and "PCI" etc. that I am struggling to wade through. Thanks for your time.

    How should I really overclock my memory?

    If you get an error, you should try to take it down by as little as possible until all is squeaky clean.

    Overclock help

    The overclocking guide said that over-overclocking shouldn't cause any permanent damage. Why not just see how far you can push it until you dare go no further?
