Hey all, I decided to check out Photoshop CS4 and I found that it really is much slower than I would expect. I was able to run CS3 without a problem. I check my scratch disks and made sure I had a decent amount of memory allocated, but it was still really laggy. Any thoughts?

Hey all. I have an Intel D875PBZ motherboard, and I was wondering if I can use SATA 3.0 hard drives. I know that the motherboard supports 1.5, but i don't know if that means that 3.0 drive won't work or if they'll just run as 1.5s. Thanks

My computer has been randomly restarting recently. I checked for Trojans and spyware etc. and I have a Trojan but I think the problem is more ram related. Pretty much what happens is the first time I load it up it is ok until I start running a game or a program or something which requires a...

Hey all. I'm not sure if this is inn the right section, so mods please move if needed. I recently bought a 7800GS and all of my games have been working great and very fast. Well the other day I installed Far Cry, and the first thing I noticed was the fact that all of the textures were really...

I just upgraded from this ATi Radeon 9800 Pro 128 MB video card, so I no longer need it. It's in like-new condition, and has never been overclocked, but I my brother had a similar card which he overclocked just fine. $100 or best offer takes it. I'd like to sell this card ASAP...

Hey all. I've reinstalled firefox a few times already, but for some reason it's freezing whenever I go to sites. I think it might have something to do with flash player, but I can't figure out where the problem is with it. I've uninstalled that too and reinstalled, without any help. It also...

Hey all. I just bought an OEM P4 3.0E Prescott, and I cannot get the computer to boot. My older 2.66 GHz Northwood boots just fine, so I’m not sure what’s going on. I installed the newest BIOS update and I have the BIOS config jumper in the configure position. This thing just doesn’t want to...

Hey all. I was looking at upgrading my current setup. Today I bought a 3.0 ghz chip and another gig of memory. I'm now thinking of upgrading my 9800 Pro 128 to eith er a 6800XT or a 7800GS. Basically it boils down to the fact that I'd obviously like to get the most bang for my buck. The...

Hey all. I'm looking to upgrade my current Intel 478 2.66 GHz with a 3.0+ Prescott. I was looking and the only thing that i can find cheap are OEM CPUs. Is it a bad idea to get an OEM CPU or am I worrying for nothing? Also, I have an Intel 875 mobo. Could I possibly put in a Yonah-based chip?

Hey all. I was hoping that someone here could help me out and let me know what they think about these two motherboards. They both seem to have about the same features, but one (the more expensive one) allows for firewire connections. They are they Asus P5ND2-SLI and the Asus P5N32-SLI Deluxe...

Hey all. Over the weekend, I believe that my network was hacked into. The reason I say this is because i was working in excel and then all of a sudden i could see typing appearing in one of the cells i wasn't working in. There wasn't anyone else at home at the time, and what was being typed...

Hey all. I just installed the Kerio firewall this afternoon and I think it's great. I have it set so that if anything tried to go out to the internet, the firewall will ask me if it's ok. Well I walked away from the computer and hit switch user like I always do to lock my computer. Well when I...

Hey all. Recently I used a hard drive to install something on a linux machine. When I put it back into my computer (on an external enclosure) I couldn't seem to access any of my files.

Most of my mpeg files have an incorrect time on them. They're normally files that are several minutes long, but they're saying that they're only a minute or so, much shorter than they actually are. If I skip to any part in the video, it goes to the right section in the video, but the time is...
