I want a nice big monitor for the web and watching movies. I spend a lot of time online because I help manage a few different forums. But my biggest love is watching movies, usually bluray videos. I read many reviews and narrowed down my choice so far to this monitor, (ViewSonic VP2770-LED...

Can somebody tell me if this cpu upgrade is worth the money? I have an E4600 dual core running at 2.4ghz (2M L2 Cache, 2.40 GHz, 800 MHz FSB). I was looking at upgrading to the E6700 2.66ghz (4M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB). Is the extra cache and small ghz increase worth it for $50.00. Does...

Hope somebody can help me a bit. I tried installing my hd 5770 video card in the PCI-E slot in my board, but when I boot I get a black screen when using the DVI cable and VGA cables. When I take the card out and go back into Bios, there is no PCI-E option, just on board video and PCI. Is this...

Just curious as to how much memory most people have that occasionally game and watch Hd movies, etc. Is 2GB sufficient or outdated by today's requirements?

Is it possible to upgrade my cpu to this processor, and would it be worth it. I have an 2.4ghz dual core now. Can I do any better at all? Thanks http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115056 Here is pc wizard data: Manufacturer : ASUSTek Computer INC. (Asus) Product ...

I have read dozens of review on these two cards and it seems they are basically the same performance wise with the edge in some games to one or the other. So why is the Nvidia card basically about 30 bucks more than the 6850? Is it just that nvidia feels that their cards command a premium and...

Just curious as I have never bought an AMD/ATI card before but think I am going to. Do they have a control panel similar to the Nvidia one where you can adjust color/gamma, etc for videos and the desktop? I always thought that feature was cool. Thanks

I have narrowed down my graphic card choices to these two because of my current pc setup. I have read several reviews but can't really decide. Is the 550 worth a few more bucks? Anybody have any experience with either of these who can make a recommendation? I will purchase one or the other so...

My 8800GT died on me and I need a new card to do some decent gaming, nothing top of the line. I would like to be able to play the Witcher 2. So, what would be a good a card to go with for under say $220 or so? I was looking at Radeon HD 5770 1GB 1 card because of all the good reviews on newegg...

Is there a place that lists the top monitors of the year based on performance and no defects? I want a new monitor for movies, gaming, and general internet that isn't a TN panel. I like the 2209WA and several monitors that are in threads here, but it seems like the threads are filled with people...

I am looking for a new 24' monitor that is great for viewing movies and occasional gaming. There are so many monitors and reviews out there that it is tough to make an educated decision. So I am asking for others experiences with this monitor. I have read about monitor color and understand most...

I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to post a video question, but I couldn't find anywhere else. Sorry if it is the wrong place. I have a video that is 512x288. I watched the video on both a 19inch monitor and 23 inch monitor. Why is the video width greater on the 19 inch? Shouldn't...

I am looking at getting a new monitor since my five year old monitor gave out. My friend has a 24inch monitor but I notice that the text is smaller than on a 19inch. I thought the idea of a bigger monitor was to be able to see things easier. How does that work? Why is text bigger on a 19inch? I...

I am going to sell an old hard drive. Is there a good program out that will make sure none of the personal data can be recovered and used?

I routinely run a hardware diagnostic program on my HP computer that tests my hard drive with a Smart short self test. Recently, the short test will not complete. It stops at 19% and I get a message that the test is taking longer than usual. It never completes so i just stop the test. Is this an...

Does Acronis True image copy everything in the same quality as on the original hard drive? I have several HD movies that I would like to transfer to a new hard drive. Is there any loss in copying these along with the rest of the contents on the drive?

I am looking a buying this monitor. Does anyone know much about it? I see that the max resolution is 1920x1080. Does that mean that the native resolution is not the usual for a 22inch. My concern is how does this display a true HD movie? Does it just shrink it by squeezing more pixels into a...

I am looking to buy a new Dell LCD. My price range is $200-600. I would like a 22' or 24'. Does anyone have any experience with Dell's and which would you recommend? I saw two that interested me, the SP2309W 23-inch and the S2209W 22-inch. Anyone have one of these to offer their experience with...

I am upgrading my old processor for the time being until I get enough money to buy a new system that I really like. Does anyone have any experience installing a E4600 duo core 2.4 processor on a 775 board? Is there much too it? Do i have to remove the board from the case? Basically, what could...

I am in the market for a new pc. I am going to go with a Dell. My question is what is the difference between a Intel® Core™2 Q6600 Quad-Core (8MB L2 cache,2.4GHz,1066FSB and a E8400 (6MB,3.0 GHz, 1333FSB)? Is there a great difference for gaming? Also, how much memory is the norm nowadays for a...

Could someone give me their opinion of the best 22" or 24' LCD for gaming? I would like to stay in the 300-500 price range. I am picky about color though. I really am not happy with some models I have seen in stores, such as Samsung 2253BW. I thought the colors were washed out. Thanks

I currently have a 8800GT 512MB video card. Would I be able to run high end games on a 24' monitor or would I have to upgrade? Should I go with a 22' monitor and would games run fine on this? I just got the card last summer so I don't want to upgrade again.

I am new here, but this seems like a very knowledgeable forum. Here is my problem. I recently bought a Samsung 2253BW to replace my 4 year old Neovo F-419. When I hooked up the new Samsung, I was shocked to find that the color wasn't as good as my 4 year old LCD. How can this be? I though tech...
