Ok, so my current laptop still works, and is in very good condition, but the battery doesn't last as long as it used to, and the Centrino processor in it just doesn't keep up with some of the tasks I will be throwing at it shortly. Now, I am looking for a new, reasonably priced laptop. I am...

Well, I figure there are a million threads about this, but I did a little searching and couldn't find specific answers to the questions that I have. Anyways, I am planning on upgrading my computer a bit, since my s939 is showing its age. Plus I want dual core. :cool: I am on a bit of a...

I have acquired an SLI motherboard, but it says in the motherboard literature that when using the board in SLI mode, the PCI-E slots have x8 effective bandwidth instead of x16. Now, I do not plan to initially use this board in SLI mode, because I only have one 7900gs, but if I were to add...

Before everyone jumps all over me and says "Conroe! The Conroe is coming. OMFG!", I really do not give a shit. Yes it is fast, but I am not about to scrap my current rig for a new mobo, proc, and ddr2 memory just for some fancy pants fast processor that Intel has. I can't afford it at the...

This isnt exactly HTPC related, but I figure this would be the best section to post my question in. I have had a 20" Toshiba Flat Screen Tube TV for maybe 4 years. It has always been great for watching cable tv, with a clear and crisp picture. The problem comes in when I connect a video game...

I am going to build a new PC. I am upgrading from a p4 2.4ghz with a 9700pro. The new pc will be used for games, web surfing, and sometimes school work. Anyways, I have a couple of questions. First, onto the specs of the PC I want to build. ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (90nm)...
