So, I ended up buying my very first LCD over a year ago. It was an Acer 24 inch, forget the exact model, but it was supposed have a 6ms gtg. Needless to say the screen was just too big, and the motion blur/ghosting drove me nuts, so I shipped it back and just ended up using my 19 inch CRT up...

So I decided to reinstall Windows XP to see if it would solve a problem that many have been having with Bioshock. I have a partition (C: ) dedicated soley to Windows, and I reformatted it when prompted during the new installation. I had set aside 4gb just for this. On my last insalltion, with...

I currently have 512 x 2 PC2 6400 modules running in dual channel, and if able, I'd like to add 1024 x 2 PC2 6400 on top of that. I really don't want to have to replace the ram I have now because it's not that old. Will I be able to add 2gb more ram and run that pair in dual channel while...

I don't know what is going on, but ever since I did my latest Windows installation (just three nights ago) my floppy drive has been going crazy. It will now sit there and try to access every 5 seconds or so for no apparent reason. It's like it's trying to access each time my hard drive does...

Not sure if that's the correct term, but what causes the stuttering in FPS games when running around? I just built a new computer and am using an EVGA 8800gts, thinking I would be able to play FEAR in all its graphical glory without any issues, especially after seeing all of the tests of it...

I have a Scythe Infinity that I have yet to actually mount, because it didn't look like there was enough clearance no matter which way I sat it between the northbridge and the dimm slots. So, it looks like I can get it in there, but barely. My problem is that I have no idea what I am...

I just put together a new system last night, and now, each time I reset my computer (say Windows has to restart after installing something), my monitor always shuts off for 2 seconds and then comes back on. This is NOT good on an already old monitor (8 year old CRT). The only thing that has...

Nevermind.

I cannot find a way to install this massive heatsink onto my motherboard. The case isn't really the issue, the board is. If I try to set it up with the fan blowing from bottom to the top of the case, the fan overlaps the chipset heatsink, and if I try to set the fan blowing from right to left...

I just recently ordered everything for my new PC other than the sound card. I have been using onboard for the last six years, but after buying some HD 280's, I started hearing some ungodly hissing or what sounds like wind for the lack of a better description. I can't tell if it's just the...

I just got my AL2423w yesterday, and I am having some very mixed feelings about it. While this monitor looks fantastic while viewing static images, and I like how big it is, I can't say I care at all for objects in motion, and it's not entirely just ghosting that bothers me. I know that the...

And potential overlocking? Or does such a board even exist? From what I've been able to find (not much), with the intel chips, right now your options are either you get a board that allows SLI and has poor to no OC ability, or you get a board that can OC well, but has no SLI ability. Is this...

Sorry for the noob question, but hey...I'm a noobie! But seriously, why all the fuss over viewing angles? Is it mostly for people that like to run dual or even triple setups? Does the viewing angle matter at all for someone that only has one monitor and only use it for general use and gaming...

Which is better for cooling a Conroe system that will be OC'd in the future? I'm not too concerned with the noise while running at max, because the last two fans I've used for the last six years sound like hair dryers! :eek: I'm also not concerned with which is a better value, I am just...

I mostly use my system as a gaming PC. I listen to mp3's sometimes instead of the game music, depending on the game (usally World of Warcraft), sometimes watch movies or burn dvds. But like I said, it's mostly for gaming, and according to these articles, modern processors don't really do...

I am building a new system, and really want to get the biggest performance boost that I can, as soon as I can. I'm going from an A64 3800+ to an A64 X2 5000+ (OC). My current card is a 6800 GT (AGP)...when I got my 3800+, my card was only a year old, and I wasn't willing to dump it and a lot...

I bought my first modern computer (then) in 1999, and I've learned a thing or two about building my own along the way, but the one thing that has always remained a constant was my 19 inch CRT. It came from Cybermax (now defunct I believe), so I'm not really sure who actually made it. But it's...
