    video settings keep getting reset after playing game...

    After running any number of games (Fly II, MS Flight Sim, Chrome demo...) my video settings keep getting pushed back to 1024x768 (i want it at 1280x1024). I am running dual output on two different sized monitors which are set to different resolutions (the smaller one is set to 1024x768). Do I...

    nView? VIVO? dual monitor and VIVO please!

    I read that nView supports multiple monitors, which would be a nice change from my average 1-monitor setup. Not sure how it works, though. 1 monitor to the CRT port and one to the DVI port via a connector that comes w/ the card? Or how is the second monitor connected? I'd also like to get...

    Replacing Pavilion N5190 HD

    I'm a pc builder just like anyone is, but haven't had hardly ANY experience replacing laptop HD's. My friend's went bad in his Pavilion (it's a few years old) and looking up the specs, I see he needs a 9.5 mm 2.5" HD. HP's site says UDMA/33 is supported, but all the new ones I see listed are...

    Thanks for the support

    Although I'm not sitting in the middle east right now (currently at Ft Rucker in flight school) I'd like to say my personal thanks for all the support of the military people have offered. A fair number of people are opposed to the conflict, of course, but thanks for all the support. Depending...

    Which program do you use to play mp3's?

    Winamp is still tops. Real and MM are annoying, WMP is too simple w/out enough easy-to-use features and whatnot. Is Winamp3 done already? I tried the beta a while ago and it had quite a few bugs to be worked out and features that weren't yet implemented. I'll have to check on it again...

    The EPoX 4G4A+ seems very promising.

    I'm having trouble getting the onboard audio to work... All four channels test fine when I set it up under WinXP using the config util provided, but when I listen to music or any other output, only the front channel is produced. Any ideas? I enabled it in bios. Thanks-

    Fong Kai Cases - opinions?

    I have the case, too, and love it. The side panel is difficult to remove/replace like SWScorch said. All around, it's a great case, but an Antec might be a good one too consider as well. I liked the look of the FK much more when I bought, though. Good luck!

    Best KT266A mobo? And where can i buy it?

    not an advantage, but it's $50 more expensive, that's for sure! the soyo does have 4 IDE chans for up to 8 devices and onboard raid and supports up to 3GB or ram, whereas the epox only has 2 IDE chans, no oboard raid, and 1.5GB of ram my 2c.
