I have an MSI nforce6 SLI mobo, and a Galaxy GT 430 and 8800 Gt 320 evga. Is it possible to have one card run Physx and the other card do graphics? I was thinking even though the 430 is slower, it's Dx11 capable, so I'd use that for the graphics, and use the horsepower of the 8800 for PhysX...

I have a wired Wacom tablet, and a variety of other wired devices that I use, and don't want to replace. That being said, our 42" HDTV is about 9 feet away, and none of the cables reach that far. So for right now, the big HTPC is halfway between the couch and the TV. Is there equipment...

My computer is wirelessly connected to our network. I have internet. I can ping other computers on the network. I cannot share files, or see other computers through windows explorer. I click on "workgroup computers" and the computer just gives me a blank look as if to say: "Why are you...

eVGA recommends at least a 300watt for the card, so it appears I've got 120 watts, wiggle room. But there are my other components, Audigy 2 and 2 hard drives...and aftermarket cooler? Will the 420 cut it?

Are all SATA 2 drives these days including NCQ? Does NCQ really make a diff in speed? I'm eyeing all manner of Seagate drives, and some mention NCQ and some don't...but they're all SATA 2's it looks like...

My current setup is A642800 Geforce 2 Biostar shittastick NF3 mobo. SB Audigy 2 Platinum ZS 512 MB Ram I'm going for a setup that can handle: Non-linear editing, 3d applications, 2d applications (PS!), and Adobe After Effects...a lot better than what it's doing right now. (poop) With...

I've had this problem with my system, and only when using my ATI 1600XT card. It's just idling and then the monitor loses signal as if it was going into sleep mode...except it won't wake UP! My only fix is to hit the restart button the computer. I tried reinstalling the drivers, uninstalling...

Need a A64 2800 socket 754 mobo that utilizes AGP, and is compatible with PC3200 Any brand. This is a stopgap solution until I become EMPLOYED. ;)

I can use my computer for internet, some winamp, and instant messaging. When I try and render video, motion graphics/editing, play games, or do anything "heavy" my screen freezes after a while, requiring a hard restart. Sometimes it's even come up GARBLED; the colors reverse themselves with...

So I want to upgrade my Beta 2 vista install with the sparkling new RC1 Vista. It says it can't do that from boot, but it must run setup from within windows. Ok. Fine. I'm in Vista Beta 2 right now, and the thing refuses to run the setup file on the DVD. A process called "setup.exe" is...

I have a mobo that supports SATA 150, but there are tons of drives coming out with a listing that says Sata 3.0gb/s. Can I still buy those kinds of drives and just run them at 150 until I upgrade my mobo?

So my buddy just started up is computer, and his USB ports don't work, the screen doesn't show POST or Windows it's completely blank. The mobo speaker is plugged in, but no beep sounds when starting up. The mobo power indicator light is on, as well as the built in ethernet adapter light, but...

Has anybody used this suite of software? I'm interested in getting this but it's so fargin' expensive I'm wondering if anybody knows a site that sells good discount software/OEM versions that are heckuva lot cheaper.

So I just bought this agp stopgap solution til I go upgrade crazy this summer. It's the Radeon X1600Pro, and I wanted to see how much better Half Life 2 would do/look/could be. There's just one underlying issue that I've always had with this game and finally wanted to ask you guys. I have a...

Can anybody point me to a site that still reviews the latest CRT models? How many people here have CRT's they'd recommend? I'm finding that the prices, performance, and fidelity of LCD's are still ridiculous. I'm looking for something in the 19"+ category, with at least .24mm pitch.

Hey, my buddy just bought an ATI Silencer 2 for his Radeon 9600XT. Unfortunately it does not fit the card. We found out why. It's apparently a 9550 that was softmodded, because the GPU says 9550 on it, even though there's a big white sticker that has a model number and ATI 9600XT 256...

That was such a great press release I STILL don't know what the heck 64bit HL2 will do for me! Do I get sparklier FX even if I'm running a GF4? Does it make my gameplay smoother overall? What exactly happens when one "takes advantage of 64bit" processors? Anything enlightening would be...

I recently benchmarked my cable speed and found out it was running at nearly half the speed of a typical comcast subscriber. Should be getting about 4mb down (now I hear it's raised to 6), but I'm only getting about 2.4 or something like that. I have a Linksys router w/4 port switch at...

I am so...FUgdING TIRED...of this SP game. I'm all the way to near the end of Archive. I get to this open area, shoot everybody and look at a helicopter bug (it won't lift off unless I load the next save) and I'm nearly out of ammo. I walk thru a big wide door cut into the mountain, and there's...

I just got a brand new mobo, athlon 64 2800, and 512 ddr 3200. My machine starts up just fine, I'm not overclocking, just using the defaults for the mobo, and at random times during games my system just restarts, and when it comes back up I get a windows error report saying that my Geforce 4...

I'm currently running NFSU2 at max settings (except for world reflection detail...that's on 1) on a P4 1.5, 256 RDRAMPC800, and a Geforce 4 Ti4400. I'm getting FPS from 22 (1 car on screen) to about 8 (URL racing w/6 cars). As of tomorrow I will have a brand new athlon 64 mobo with a 2800...

Argh! I don't know what's going on with my monitor. I leave it on for a while, and after about 1 hour, it starts to emit this obnoxious squealing/buzzing noise. A friend of mine opened it up to check to see if anything was vibrating, but he couldn't find anything. He said that the guns were...

Hi, I was just wondering if anybody here had links or advice on memory/pagefile tweaks in XP? There's a few system processes that I've killed so far, and I've set the pagefile to a (sizable) static size on a different physical drive. I'm just wondering how I can get more memory available. As...
