I was going to strip a piece of DDR Ram out of another PC and place it into my current computer with DDR Ram as well. Will I be able to use these both in the same computer if they run at different speeds i.e. PC***. I know with the SD Ram you could place PC133 with PC100 and it would run at...

So if I get a tv tuner card, I can just plug the coaxial cable into it and I will be able to watch and record TV on my Computer Monitor. Are there any other connections required. And what do I plug into the S-video port? Also, what other cards would you recommend buying, besides the ATI?

I just noticed the topic too! I seemed to have mistitled it. what I want to do is record tv to my computer (so basically I want a cheaper version of TIVO). I already have the card and it was an OEM version and it did not come with any software, so would I have to purchase software along with...

I have a Gigabyte Radeon 9600 Proand I was wondering if I would be able to record tv on my computer with just this set up. If not, what else would I need?

Thanks guys, I figured it out. It turns out that I could take the extra four pins off. Thanks for the help. Next time I'll try and stop my initial reaction from being "damn't"

My recommendation would be to go back to college and get a BS in Computer Science. With so many students coming out of college with degrees in the IT field, your aspirations of becoming a system admin are limited, unless of course you know someone who knows someone. Otherwise I would purchase...

My friend recently purchased an Xbox and was looking for a way to play online. I told him they sell wireless game adapters but after looking at the price I told him that I'd look for an alternative method. I was curious if I could run a cat5e wire from the back of the Xbox and plug it into an...

Ok, so I've figured out the differences between the processors. Now what brands do you guys recommend. Thanks for the help.

Try clearing the BIOS, there should be a jumper near the battery on the MOBO (check the manual). Or you can pull the BIOS battery out for about 30 seconds and put it back in.

thanks everyone for your help. Another thing that I have noticed in my search for a laptop is the Pentium M and the Mobile Pentium 4 what is the diff. between these two, and the regular Pentium 4

I am in the market for a laptop for my freshman year of college. I plan to spend a maximum of $1,500 including tax and 3 year full coverage warranty (so the price before would probably be around $1,100). I have already built a desktop with a AMD Athlon 64 3400+, 1 GB of RAM, 200 GB SATA HD...
