    Microphone problems in game only

    I use Ventrilo when I am playing Team Fortress 2 with my brother. Before I load Team Fortress 2, I can talk on Ventrilo without any problems. Once I join a Team Fortress 2 game I only output a very, very obnoxious static noise. It's not the least bit coherent, it's just total static. I have...

    Yesterday I disconnect all peripheral cables to work on another desktop. Today, when I reconnect everything(monitor, mouse, Cat5, keyboard), the system would not POST. It boots, the fans spin, the hard drive spins up, the PSU fans are going. When the computer comes on(display comes up), it...

    6GB of RAM - Page file? Swap File? Need it? What is it?

    I know there are two separate things, the page file and the swap file. I haven't found a good answer from the internets as to what these are. I believe one of them deals with the memory and if you have enough memory you can eliminate it completely. There are also certain settings for the other...

    X1900GT Vs. 8600 GT ?? Or something else.

    I was considering the possibility of upgrading my video card. I don't have any apples to apples comparisons of the Radeon x1900GT video card and the Nvidia 8600GT... Is it even an upgrade? Just curious, because the 8600GTs are pretty cheap. Does the x1900GT compare to any video cards these...

    Compatibility between 64bit and 32bit OS

    I am planning on updating to a 64bit OS to accommodate more than 4GB of RAM. I have heard that there are compatibility issures between a 32bit and 64bit platform. For example, the rumor goes that if you create a file on Word in a 64bit OS it will be incompatible with a 32bit OS. I transfer...

    E6300 C2D - "Wonky" Vcores

    I let my computer sit around for awhile and I watched CPU-Z and CPUID Hardware Monitor. My Vcore almost randomly fluctuated between 1.14V and 1.28V. It's supposed to be 1.28V. My other voltages seem fine. My +12V is 10.37V. Underclocking the voltage lowers the clock speed of the CPU and I saw...
