    What is your "coping" strategy for the time until you can get a latest-model Nvidia/AMD GPU?

    As someone who's work center's a lot around the latest gaming GPU's, I'd tell everyone that it's good to have patience. The manufacturing pressure and strain producers are under has resulted in lots of failing cards. Things are starting to improve, but the initial manufacturing runs were highly...

    A love letter to Mario 2

    Check out this video my brother made. I wonder if anyone else feels this sentimental about Mario 2. It was my favourite Mario game back in the day. http://digg.com/d31Qfbk

    Multiple profiles in 'Document's and settings' - Help!

    I've never seen that area for profile editing before. It's not bringing up both of the 'Robert' profiles. Hmm. Nobody seems to know. The folders shown under the one I want to delete are rubbish like "download manager" and "gay toolbar". It's just letting me delete the administrator...

    Multiple profiles in 'Document's and settings' - Help!

    This has been driving me nuts forever. Every time I visit my parents house, I have to do a major cleanup of my dad's pc. I can't ever figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated. Notice the two 'Robert' profiles? The one that is actually used is the Robert.PC986... one. There is...

    WTB: Socket A cpu, power supply

    Pretty simple. Looking for an Athlon XP - slocket A cpu. One that works would be good. I'm also not looking to pay much for it. Also on the list is a power supply that is at least 300 watts. A beast, this computer will not be. But Doom 2 has low system requirements.

    5.1 sound not working

    That doesn't make complete sense to me. It used to work with no issues. Hmm. Anyone aware of a program that will send the 2 channel situation to all 5 speakers?

    5.1 sound not working

    Well, I've done some google-ing and I've had no luck finding a fix for this. I've got a freshly formatted machine with SB Audigy SE and a Logitech 5.1 setup (it only uses analog). The Creative speaker setup program works and utilizes all the channels with the audio test... but nothing else...

    Vista - No sound

    I am certain that I have the correct drivers installed. Also, I have tried multiple headphones in each jack. This is really bizzare. It's not an issue of hardware damage either because I've reinstalled XP just to make sure and it works fine.

    Vista - No sound

    Very annoying. I just installed Vista and there's no sound. I've got the onboard AC97 situation, and I've downloaded the latest drivers from Realtek. All the updates have been installed. I've googled this as much as I can, and it was a drivers issue for most people. The curveball here is...

    First HTPC, Display issues. Help!

    Finally snagged a monitor from someone to test the PC. It kept outputting an 80Hz refresh rate. Even after changing the settings to 60Hz and 1024x768, it would go back to 80Hz. Being that this was my dad's old work computer, a format was in order, so I did that, and now everything is great...

    First HTPC, Display issues. Help!

    The plasma itself has no settings for refresh rate, and it's set to 'default monitor' in windows with an automatically detect for the refresh rate. Once again, I don't see how that matters for any images pre-windows. I'm getting a banner across the screen saying 'no sync signal'. Very...

    First HTPC, Display issues. Help!

    I did the F8 and blindly enabled VGA mode, which seems to work... but nothing else works. I tried different resolutions, and the only thing that seems to show an image is VGA mode and the XP load screen. Is this maybe an issue with the video card? I can't understand why it wouldn't show the...

    First HTPC, Display issues. Help!

    That's what I thought too, but I don't have a regular monitor I can use. The thing that confuses me is this: aren't display settings applied upon entry to Windows? Why would I have display for the POST screen but not the BIOS? Is the card not using low resolution and refresh rates for these...

    First HTPC, Display issues. Help!

    Hey all, I just picked up a Toshiba 42HP86. I want to build an HTPC for it, but I'm testing a few things first. The display works alright when I hook up it up as a secondary monitor to my laptop. It does not work as a primary monitor on a tower I'm trying to use for now. It will show the...

    Buying a new tv. Need some adivce.

    Hey all, as the title says, it's time for me to buy a new television. The old tube is on it's way out. I've been looking at LCD's and plasmas all around, and I'm hoping to find a good 42" plasma screen, but they're all going for close to 2 grand. I don't want to get a no-name plasma. I'm...

    Nintendo Wii next shipment

    I went to this one store that has hundreds for sale. It's called ebay. Bit of a ripoff though. Any one hear anything else about the rumoured spring re-launch of the wii?

    What happened to Arcade games?

    I don't know, it makes sense that they're dying, but there's something special about arcades that you can't get anywhere else. I remember strangers huddling around Mortal Kombat 2 and becoming friends. Also, nothing is more satisfying than beating an arcade game.

    What happened to Arcade games?

    The other day, while Christmas shopping, a friend and I decided to give ourselves a break and play some Street Fighter III. So, we headed over to the arcade and had a blast. While I was walking around the arcade, I started wondering where all the new games are. Other than DDR, there weren't...

    First Wii impression with Zelda, kinda meh

    They were saying that the Wii is roughly twice as powerful as the Gamecube was. Is that something to be ashamed of? Has anyone ever played Resident Evil 4 for GC? Those graphics are fantastic, on last generations hardware. It's dumb to compare a Wii to a Radeon 9700. That's like comparing a...

    Wii impressions. Leave your thoughts here!

    I agree with you... except the buggy emulator thing. There's some amazing emulators out there. I have no issues with emulation, other than it's not as good as it would be on my television with an actual controller.

    Wii impressions. Leave your thoughts here!

    This thread turned into aids with 9 month old arguments. STFU about all the "graphics aren't good enough... intuitive controller... blah blah". I don't give a fuck about what c-3po has to say about the wii. He's never played one. Let's move on. I just spent a few hours with the Wii. It...
