Hi, I have an HP computer with an integrated wireless LAN. I'm currently hooked up using the wired LAN and I'm hoping I can use the wireless portion to allow my Blu Ray player wireless access to the internet. Is this possible and if so is there a tutorial? I looked all over and couldn't find...

Good point. I have The Logitech Z5500 5.1 speaker system so they sound pretty good. I don't mind spending the money if I can justify it. Thanks for the response. It does help.

Hi All, I remember years ago sound cards were a necessity but todays mobo's seem to be pretty good. I play F.E.A.R and have an Asus P5W DH mobo. Should I spend the money for an X-Fi gamer sound card or is the onboard sound just as good? If there is a difference, is it worth $130? Thanks!! Joe

Awesome! I will stop looking for a digital out and go with analog. Thanks again for the link!

HI All, I have a set of Logitech Z5500 speakers. They work great but I am upgrading my computer and noticed the speakers have a coaxial and optical digital input. I looked all over the place but can't find a sound card with these digital outputs. Did I miss something? Any suggestions or brands...

Bought some on zipzoomfly. Not budget memory but good quality, stable oc and excellent support. Warm for some cold for others. $75 MIR Link

I agree on the video card suggestion and that is exactly what I was thinking. My puter is at least a year old though and I got a great price on it so I'd be an idiot not to sell it. Do I need to? No, but it's one of those things where I'll never get this amount again if I didn't so I'm pretty...

Hi All, I got a good price for my current set up and need to buy an upgraded computer. I don't have a ton of cash but do want decent stuff. My budget is around $1250 could go a few hundred higher if it was required. Basically been a looong time AMD fan but want to try the Intel core2duo and see...

Well, seeing as FEAR is the only game I play I'd like to get away as cheap as possible. I'm not even that good so want to keep the spending to a minimum. How low can the FPS go before you start to notice? I thought it was 60 but can't remember. Thanks for all the help.

Any brand in particular or are they all the same? I do like evga though

Hi All, I just bought a Samsung 226BW 22" monitor and I'm thinking my current video card won't be up to the task of FEAR at full resolution. It's the only game I play otherwise it's surfing the net. Any suggestions as to what would be a decent upgrade that would do 1680x1050 and get a decent...

Hi All, I picked up this laptop today, the cost was $350 after rebate which is not too bad for what it is. Trouble is Vista needs 2GB of ram and this only comes with 512mb. I need to know a good option for some RAM that won't break the bank. I don't want to spend a ton on RAM when I only paid...

Thanks! It hasn't given me any trouble since I put the settings back to standard. Maybe it's ebay before it goes up in smoke. Any ideas on a good replacement (socket 939)???

Thanks for the replies. I have a decent PS (ENERMAX Noisetaker EG495P-VE 485w) although it could be the culprit I set both my memory timings and CPU to "auto" I have been running the torture test for the last hour or so with no errors. I find it strange that for over a year the machine ran...

HI All, Recently while playing FEAR my computer crashes the game to the desktop, crashes the entire computer and restarting or getting a machine check exception error. I tried digging to see if I could find the problem. Memtest ran fine with no errors, prime 95 torture test gave me an error 1...
