I have a toshiba laptop, which is currently running Vista x64 Home Premium. Through school, I can get a copy of Windows 7 Professional Upgrade. I know from this that I'll need to do a "Custom (clean) Installation," due to the upgrade path. But now, I am thinking of upgrading the harddrive in...

I've been using a 6600GT for the past year, and recently got an X2 4800+ and a X1600XT... My question is, with the X1600XT, am I able to use Span mode for a multiple monitor setup like I could on my 6600GT? I've tried looking, but can't find anything other than "extend" desktop, which doesn't...

So, I just got my new hardware, a S939 X2 4800+, an MSI K8N Neo4-F, and an HIS Radeon X1600XT iceQ "Turbo" (weee, Turbo!) ... The rest of the system is using 1GB (2x512MB) of Corsair PC3200 DDR-RAM, and the HDD's/Optical drives of the first machine in my sig (80GB, 120GB, and a BenQ 16xDVD+/-RW)...

Anyone able to find me benchmarks comparing these two? :p Just placed an order on the 4800+, a little late to the party, but hey. Main reason I got the 939 over an AM2 is because I'm able to keep my RAM, keeping me a little more in the black.. Anyone have any ideas the performance...

Grr. I was surfing the web, listening to some music, then I smell a rancid burning sort of smell, thinking it was my lunch, I go to the oven, but no, its not burning. My geek senses tingled, and I ran back to my computer. I attempted to close all my programs and shutdown, but before I could my...

With Christmas coming around, and my parents wanting suggestions for gifts to buy me (yay!) I'm looking at things they can buy me for my computer... I'm look for something that will give me more performance on my Main rig, in sig, thats preferably under $150 CAD. I was looking at a AMD...

Is the mouse worth getting? I've read reviews and stuff, and from what I've read I'm going to buy it in the morning... Can anyone give me a reason NOT to buy it? It will be an upgrade from a Microsoft Intellimouse w/Ball. Is there any major glitches that i should not buy this mouse because...

Don't know where to post this, so I guess this is the best spot, as it *could* possibly deal with anything. Anyways, Last night I was on the internet surfing around, and accidentally hit the power strip off button with my toe, and thus my other computer shut off. Well, when I turned it back...

I just picked up a BenQ DW1610 16x Dual Layer DVD burner, and some DVD's, in hopes of just being able to burn my .avi's to a DVD, as I would a SVCD in nero, but that didn't happen. I'm kind of a DVD n00b. So my question is, what is the easiest, and quickest way to get all my .avi's onto a...

WindowsXP Home just seems to "hang" at the logo for almost exactly one minute on my parents computer (AthlonXP 2200+, 256MB PC3200, 80GB 7200RPM HDD...) And this is a brand new harddrive, fresh install of XP Home, I ran AVG antivirus, Ad-aware, spybot search and destroy, they all came up with...

(I think this is the right place for this...If not mods please move it) I decided it was time to get into this area... sort of... Anyways, my idea is to build a sort-of low-budget HTPC/gaming system, that will replace the need for a console system/DVD Player. Right now that specs I am...

Okay, whether it was stupidity on my part, or somethin else i dunno, but heres the story, in short form. - Friend gave me XP Pro - I try to install XP Pro - All is good, it copies all the files (unless i missed something when i wasn't there...) - Restarts, Goes into install - Tells me...

Okay, so I download the Halo demo, install, go into game, and everything looks like blobs and texture-less, so i go into settings, and change them to: 1024x768, everything on/highest. Everything still looks like blobs, so i thought it was just the menus, go into games, nothing has a texture...

I have a little problem... Or a Big problem... Not sure yet... Anyways, So today i go out, buy a new video card (Sapphire Atlantis 9600 Pro) Install it, and play games for about 6 hours. Then i just surf the net and listen to music for about an hour and a half, then realize i have S-Video...

Is there a program like iMovie, but for the Windows? I like its simplicity, and yet it has some power... Anything like it for Windows? Preferably free, or under $60 to buy. Thanks in Advance.

Anyone else seen this game yet? It looks absolutely amazing, it's still in the closed beta, so its not done, and they are projecting 2005 Q1 for public release. www.darkandlight.com for some information... What i know about the game: A large 15,000 sq Mile Area for an MMORPG, where...

Sorry about adding another update post to the barrage, but I'm slowing getting money, and I would like to know what you guys think would be the upgrade that would increase my performance the most. (specs in sig) Unfortunetly, I have a very limited budget (somewhere in the range of $140 CAD) I...

okay, i just wrote an article for a magazine i have to do for a project at school. It's aimed toward somewhat computer-illiterate people, and to teach them about hardware.(Yes, I see the lack of Mac information but... this is for PC's not Macs.) I want to see if the information is correct, and...
