just brought a new pci card to replace my onboard graphic. it should arrive it a few days. is it wise to update my motherboard bios aswell, while i'm at it?
i dont think there is an resolution option, so there must be one default fixed resolution. also, can you strech it to a widescreen monitor without being distorted?
should i go with the FX5200 or the Radeon 9250

what exactly is water cooling with those pipes connecting to one component to another? do you actually put real water in them? what if it leaks? water and electricity dont mix from my understanding.
oh, pc's with water cooling looks really ugly.
this motherboard simply listed it as ATX
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130037
does that mean it will be capable of installing it into a ATX mid, full and small Case?
those with pirate windows, when you go online isn't it unsafe that they can detect you with a pirate vision of XP? Friend of mine said that when he updated his pirate vision windows xp serivce pack, his pc got crashed or something.
