    hd radeon 6870 2gb, can't extend monitor.

    Ok this is weird because I know these new cards can handle multiple monitors and are supposed to be great for it. I had no issues doing this with my hd radeon 4850 1gb. My main display is a 23" connected via dvi to hdmi cable, my tv is a 42" connected via hdmi, and my secondary monitor is...

    e2220 vs q8400

    So I recently decided to buy a quad core and with the set up I have now I can play crysis, COD4 and all those games max settings, will I see anymore performance increase with the q8400? Also I ordered an aftermarket cooler for it as well which claims to keep the processor at about 35c under...

    windows vista 32 to 64-bit

    I was just wondering, if i get an upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit windows vista home premium will i have to reinstall all of my programs or will they auto-update with windows? I know the windows programs will work but i mean more so my games then anything.

    Rebuilding my computer

    But my other question is where my north and south bridge chips are not intel chips (there something like pt880pro or something that asrock makes) am i going to have to reinstall windows or is there a way i can just get the drivers for the intel chips?

    Rebuilding my computer

    Thats what i figured about the cpu. The memory I'm getting is http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820104073 which i know will make a huge improvement because right now i'm running ddr2 667mhz. I game with my pc and currently can play crysis on high settings. I just don't like having my...

    asrock 4coredual-sata2 ddr2 problem

    i read through the manual and found something in bios i didn't see before. when you set the memory type and speed it can either automatically do it or you can set what speed. it says (ddr266) 133mhz. now could that be the problem, would i have to run this memory at 133mhz to have it work because...

    asrock 4coredual-sata2 ddr2 problem

    the memory was just some cheap stuff from new egg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820146526 Reviews were good so I figured it should be just fine. I also ran the sticks through a program called memtest and they checked out just fine. Also had windows run a diagnostic on the...

    asrock 4coredual-sata2 ddr2 problem

    yes but i checked it and it says nothing about it. It briefly touches on how to push the memory into the mobo and says ddr and ddr2 will only fit in their kind of slots. its the worst manual i've ever seen... not informative at all.
