    Quick/Cheap Upgrade

    Hey guys, OK, so I'm looking to do a cheap upgrade to a Dell business computer that is currently in my care. One day it will be returned to the office, but it's mine for now. That being the case, I can't do too much to this thing. It has an OEM copy of Win 7 Pro 64 attached to it, so I can't go...

    Pretty good deal on this, especially since it's a digital code and you don't have to wait for a card to ship. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874103299

    Looking for assistance with a currently barebones, future gaming/modelling build.

    Hey everyone. I'm planning a build which is going to eventually become a gaming/browsing/coding/modelling system. I have the majority of the parts already picked out on paper. Time is a bit of an issue, as I currently have a (really terrible) desktop and a work laptop that is going to be MIA for...

    Should I bother?

    I have a Celery 2.4ghz, 1 gig of ram and a GeForce3 Ti500. I was thinking of picking up a 7600GS agp (my mobo does 4x max :( ). It was supposedly as much as the PCIe version at CC, 149.99 (129.99 after MIR). I didn't get it, but I probably will order one online if and when I find it cheaper...

    Visual Pauses While Gaming

    Did a half-hearted search for this but couldn't find any help. A friend just recently gave me a new (to me) comp with 1 gig of PC133 ram and a 2.4ghz Celery. I really dunno the specs at the moment, but if it becomes important to my issue, I'll get them. Anyways, I used to have a 1.2ghz Athlon...

    Another newb question

    Ok, bought a 512 stick of PC2700. As told, it is running at PC2100 speed due to the 256 stick of PC2100 I have in there. What would be more beneficial? 768mb of ram running at 266mhz, or 512mb of ram running at 333mhz? I might just pick up another stick of 512 today anyways to make the point...

    Really stupid question

    I couldn't find this addressed in the Mem FAQ, so I'll toss it to you guys. I have a stick of PC2100 ram in my KG7 Lite mobo. I want to get another stick of 512 (money issues as to why I'm not just getting 1gig). Would a stick of 512 PC2700 work with my current PC2100 stick? Or will this...

    Possible vid card problem GFFX 5900 Ultra

    My friend has a GFFX 5900 Ultra and today he suddenly got a lot of video artifacts on his screen. He has been OCing it and after seeing this he opened the case and cleaned everything out with compressed air. That didn't help, so he stopped OCing and reseated the card. At first all was fine, but...

    Are the new GPUs even worth it?

    From everything I've been hearing, at this point the CPU is the current bottleneck in games. So if that's the case, and there's nothing really new on the way in the form of a faster chip (dual core has worse performance according to the benches I've seen), why are they pushing more powerful...

    Question about random reboots

    Ok, the basic problem I'm having that started a couple days ago is that the computer will just randomly reboot from anything I'm doing. Originally I could just get back into Windows and have no problem. Then last night it rebooted, started up Windows but then after the loading screen (with the...

    Surround sound w/ receiver and Audigy 2 Plat? Need help :\

    Ok, I might just be naiive, but I figured that taking the optical digital cable that was plugged into my Xbox and popping it into the front bay drive digital out on my Audigy 2 Plat would give me surround sound. I must be ignorant. I can only get two speakers and the sub. I went into audio...

    Going from a GF3 Ti500 to...

    a 9700 Pro, possibly. My friend might be selling his on ebay, and said he'd give me a good deal if I wanted it instead since I have the GF3. I'm on a 1.2ghz Athlon, running off an Abit KG7 Lite mobo with 512 megs of ram in it. Question 1: Is the 9700 Pro a major upgrade over the GF3 (read...
