A friend of mine is buying a Micro-atx Case and motherboard. Do you need a Micro ATX powersupply or will an ATX powersupply work as well?

Ok I have a strange situation brewing so I need some advice. I am going to build a new computer soon (probably around christmas) but I recently bought bf2 and need some Ram now. My current computer takes PC 2100 so would it be ok if I bought PC 3200 RAM for this computer? I realize if it does...

My keyboard suddenly stopped working. No reason I was sitting at my desk and it suddenly stopped working. I'm using the On-Screen keyboard so I can't test to see if its the keyboard or the coonection. Any one heard of key boards just dying? BTW it's a logitech keyboard. Anything I can...

Is this a good motherboard? It recieved high marks at Newegg.com so was curious what everyone thought.

I currently have 512mb of PC2100 Ram. I'm looking to upgrade as cheaply as possible so would it be alright if I added another 512mb of PC3200? Would there be significant performance lost...not just benchmarks but a noticable lost. Thanks in advance.

http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/highendsystem/sp1.asp?v=d#configurator_top I stumbled on to this site and the price is incredible. They can build a better computer for me with free shipping cheaper than I can build it. Also it has a 3 year warranty and lifetime tech support. What does...

I've recently had three friends just buy new computers. One dumped 4 grand into a sony Vaio and got a x300 video card. When he talked to the sales guy he was told it was the top of the line card out there. Next guy went to Best Buy and bought an E-Machine and was told the graphics card...

I read in another forum that Bf2 would crash often when attempting to overclock an AMD 64 cpu and run the game at the same time. I figured I'd get some confirmation from people who know what their talking about ;). I'm looking to upgrade soon and this is very important to my upgrade path...

Ok so I'm looking to upgrade some and I'm curious if I should go amd athlon 64 3000+ or 3500+. Originally I was gung ho about getting a 3000+ and taking my chances with OCing but I read a review that says you can't begin to reach 7800 gtx full potential without a 3500+. Of course they didn't...

A friend of mine just purchased a new computer with a ATI radeon xpress 200. Is this good enough to run BF2?

I have a Gateway 500S and I'm looking to upgrade some. I purchased a 512mb stick awhile back but now my puter is starting to get a little low end. I would like to switch to amd processor if possible. Well here are my specs Case: Pinta Desktop Mid-Tower Case Cd-ROM: Lite-On 48x 24x 48x...

I bought this computer about 3 years ago but I don't know if its ATX or not. It is a Pinta Desktop Mid-Tower Case I purchased in a gateway OEM system. I want to do some upgrades but I'm not sure I can.

I hope this is the right forum... Anyway I just downloaded the newest windows update (I have it automatically configured to do so) and after I restarted my system I was no longer able to run Civilization III: Conquests. I gives me the initial splash of the game then goes black and when I...

In my never ending search for good deals I found this Geforce 6800GT for nearly a hundred bucks cheaper than I've been seeing...so is this a good buy? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814140053

Whaddup I'm new to the whole DIY puter deal (and the forum) so take it easy on me when I ask dumb or repatative questions but from what I've read in the forums so far this seems like a really great community. To give you a hint on how newbie I am about a couple months ago I didn't know the...
