I bought the ACD and a new video card, but now I need a cable to convert mini displayport to display port, any recommendations? This is all I could find http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DP2MDPMF6IN-6-Inch-DisplayPort-Adapter/dp/B003N3DTKY/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1322703683&sr=1-5

Looks like a new video card is def. the way to go. Thanks, Slobo

Hi, I have Windows 7 PC, with 9800GT video card. After reading all the reviews I am ready to take the plunge upgrade my 24' LG to something with a little higher resolution and color quality. I am settled on the monitor, Apple Cinema Display (non-thunderbolt). I need help figuring out which...

Thanks for reply. I use Word, Excel, and a database program a lot. Plus, a little bit of photoshop and Dreamweaver. Plus, I play league of legends, but I was afraid that if I don't put program files on new drive I wont get great improvement. If what you are saying is true I can just go with...

Hi all, I currently have a 250GB WD drive. I want to get a SDD either 40GB or 80GB, on to which I will put windows 7 ultimate, and all my program files, they currently take up 32 gigs. I am worried that 40 gigs isn't enough. Further, when I actually buy this, how should I go about this? Can I...

You want 4gb. I used to have 4 gigs on my Windows 7, but 2 sticks went bad, I really notice a difference, but part of the problem is the memory hog firefox. In either case, the price is fairly cheap and if you can afford it, you won't ever be at the limit. Between excel, word, and 15 tabs at...

Anyone have problems with the monitor flickering on and off ever 5 minutes? It is driving me nuts. I only had this thing for a few years.

Thanks I will look around and avoid dell. Might go for a toshiba.

Reason it needs to be a laptop is because my mother likes to work in front of the tv.

If mod can delete this, I have reposted it in the Mobil computing sub forum. Thank you.

I need to buy a laptop for my parents. The budget is 600-1200, prefer sub 1k. Uses: 1) Basic web browsing with some business apps 2) Needs to handle BASIC video encoding and editing (will be used for converting VHS tapes into digital, adding music, deleting scenes) software recommendation...

Can I get one

I run XP pro 32 Bit, which is why I do not want to get more RAM. Thanks for the advice. I checked and my mother board (IGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX) should have no problem with the 260 or 280. Thanks once again. -Slobo

Hi all, I play WOW on a 24 inch @ 1920x1200. My stats are: E8400 @ 3.6 EVGA 512-P3-N801-AR GeForce 8800 GT 512MB. I also have 2 gigs of ram. At times, during large battles my FPS drops. Would buying a 9800 GTX help? I haven't really kept with new tech, is the 200 series that much...

Thanks for the replies. Pity that the new model is TN. -Slobo

What was the reason? Is there something wrong with it? Can anyone recommend one that is similar in specs and price? -Slobo

What happened to LG246WP. It is not on best buy anymore. I bought one last year and now I want another one. Anyone have suggestions of where I can find one? Seems like the world has gone TN or bust. -Slobo

Performa 631 CD

Hi, I have a Mac from the mid 1990s and I want to transfer a small word document to another computer. My issue is that computer does not have an internet connection. It does have a floppy disk, but I don't know anyone who has a mac with a floppy disk. Anyone have suggestions? Thank you,

Grats on your first quit. But, to all of those that don't understand why people play WOW. It is quite simple. WOW type games have a type of justice, which the real world doesn't offer. If you put in the time you will get ahead. Sure skill makes a difference but not as much as in real life. Most...

Try DOTA in Warcraft III. Thank me later.

This is great news. I will call them and see what they say. The exact issue is that the fan is imbalanced, causing it to hit the sides of the case (BAD!). How would I go replacing it? I noticed the plastic clips to remove the top of the case but it seems like I would need to remove the drive...

I purchased the Antec 900 case from new egg and when it arrived the 200 mm fan was broken . Anyone have experience in repairing this fan? I was offered free shipping back to newegg, but I really don't want to spend time taking apart my new build to return the case and then wait 2 weeks to get...

Budget: 1,200 (Prefer to stay under 1k) Excludes OS Uses: 1) Light gaming (Warcarft III, Sim City 4, Age of mythology Age of the Titans, plan on playing Starcraft II) 2) Spreadsheets and web 3) Basic Photoshop editing and Flash MX 3) I currently have 2 lcds 18 inch and a 24 inch lg...

I made the plunge today. And I love it. This is my first foray into lcds, and upgrading from a 19 inch dieing crt is drastic. Now if I could figure out how to use portrait view on xp with ati, i would be set. I would recommend this monitor. -Slobo

Then wait I will. Is it smart to try to build this system on black Friday? What kind of pitfalls would someone ordering/buying everything on one day run into? Has anyone else tried doing all there buying in one? Is manufacturing quality an issue since companies will "rush" to get items to the...

How far will the price drop on 8800 GTX when the next Nvidia comes out? What is the typical price drop when new gen cards come out? Thanks, -Slobo

Is there really a big difference between 8800 GTX and 8800 GTS. Same question applies to 320 vs. 640. Thanks, -Slobo

Thanks for the ideas, though spending 100 on a power supply seems steep. Are there any decent case and psu combos? Also, as my time horizen for this build is about 2 months, so hopefully the 8800 gts 640 will drop to under 350, which is a lot of money for one component. Thanks -Slobo

Budget: 1,000-1,300. If it will truly yield performance benefits I can swing 1,500.

I plan on building this system in the next 2-3 months. I am willing to spend more but 350+ video cards are out of the question. Along with this build I will be buying a 24 inch LCD (1920x1200). For the next year or two I will be running XP, but do plan to switch to Vista. I game but mostly older...

Have you tried hooking it up to an Xbox 360? -Slobo

I have read a great many things about the LG monitor and it appears as though most who own it, love it. I have not been able to find too much info on the Westinghouse though. There is a price difference between the two. The LG has the AU P-MVA but I could not find what type of panel the...

Just spoke with a Dell chat support and I found that the computer comes with a 300 watt power supply. I am thinking of getting this for a family on a budget and throwing some mid to low end video card in there so the kid can game. Anyone have any thoughts if that is enough power? Thank you...
