I currently have a i7 860 (I know its old, built it shortly before getting married) paired with a GTX 670 and a Dell 30" 3008wfp (2560x1600, 60hz). I'm strongly considering upgrading this system to either a GTX 1060 or 1070. I typically play games like the Batman Arkham series, Tomb Raider, and...
I have several htpcs in my house but one seams to have a motherboard with dying sata ports. I have my movies in ISO format and steam using TMT. I'm considering replacing the seven year old motherboard and cpu with a j1900. I would have an amd 5450 available if needed for this. Though I've heard...
My wife to be and I are getting ready to move into our new apartment and I'm not sure if I should build a dedicated HTPC. What I want to do is to play my DVD and BD library onto the TV, other forms of content I'm not concerned with.
Currently I have a machine setup as a server with an Intel...
Hi, I currently have a Dell 2005fpw and am looking to upgrade to a 24 or 26 inch lcd. I would like to get something that has a glossy screen. I do some gaming (BioShock, HL2, Command and Conquer 3) and movie watching on my computer. I have been considering the Gateway FHD2400 and the HP...
It's fun and a nice difference in type of entertainment from reading or watching movies just to have a change of pace. Being able to have fun with friends at lans is awesome. Some of the stories in the games are just so good and engrossing. Plus, it's something to do while recovering from a...

I dislike EA mostly bc of what happens to companies after...
For the orignal gameboy i got to level 19, with 197 lines. I got that, had a completely clear screen and couldn't get a single line more after that. I've reached 193 and 195 also, but that's it for the level 19's for me. An average day I get between level 15 and 17 though. Just sad that I...
I would have to vote for the last installment of the High Heat Baseball series by 3DO for the PC. Possibly the best baseball simulation series ever done but it got buggier with every release. Announcers would stutter when a player came to bat and it would keep repeating for innings. The game...
I would have to go with CnC: Tiberium Sun. So much of a let down, especially from the preview trailer that came out with the origianl (well the orignal on the mac, god I loved that game :) )
The original for me, mostly because the atmosphere was so much better and immersive. I liked D2 a lot, but it seemed to be missing the atmosphere that made the 1st one so great even though the new classes and graphics were great.
I had a similar upgrade going from an Elsa GeForce 3 to a 6800GT. Until then I never knew that KotR had a blurring when using force speed. And yes, from what I've been told, it is because of DirectX 9
Hey, I have MS wireless natural multimedia keyboard and when I have iTunes open and press the play button on the keyboard, my comp opens up Windows Media Player. This just started happening to me within the past week. I had another problem where media player appeared to be zoomed in, the...
Hi,
my problem with wmp is that everything I watch seems to have the outside border cropped off. I've searched the net and ms's help and support stuff but haven't found a thing that relates to this. The only changes that I have made to my computer that I am aware since this started to occur...
Blew out the dust (at college was living with 2 dogs and cat, plus i have allergies, long story) and at home I have bird.
Initial boot after that, cpu temp was 35 c,
reboot after memtest86, 54/129 for cpu.
currently, according USDM from epox, 48/118.
this time on memtest, only had 2...
Only thing at stock is the processor, stock is 2.0ghz, i have it at 2.2ghz. But I think I said this before, I had absolutely no problems since I built this system a year ago until a few days ago and then I started getting all these memory errors. I did not add any hardware, software, anytime...
I did do memtest86. Tried each stick by itself no errors. Tried both sticks together, got errors on test numbers 4, 5, 6 the first time i ran it. second time just 5, third 3,5.
Hi, a couple days ago, I started getting bsods and crashing while playing HL2 and WCIII:FT. I've had my system with the same bios settings for a year now and all of a sudden I'm getting 'could not read memory at location ... " or "memory 'something' not found at location '...', etc. Some of...
Ok. I just instaleld the logitech software. no problems so far, still need to test it out while playing games, like WCIII. However, would I be mistaken if I were to assume that if I purchased an Mx 900 that there would conflict since they are using different frequencies.
Hi, my 3 yr old MS Natural Keyboard Pro died on me about 3 weeks ago, so I picked up the Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Pro to replace it. It does come with a mouse, but I love the feel and shape of my MX700. So, at first I thought everything was good because both were working just fine...
Are you sure but in Nihm AA batteries? That's the kind it's supposed to use as opposed to regular AA. With my mx700, I think I have the red button blink maybe once since I've gotten it and that was becuase it was off the cradle and in a bag for a day and half while I was moving into my...
