    Can I put Windows XP on this laptop?

    I'm going to college and I'm looking at getting this laptop from a friend: http://www.gateway.com/systems/series/529598025.php It has Vista on it and I really don't want to deal with using Vista right now. Can I reformat the laptop and put Windows XP on it? It's a dumb question but I really...

    XFX 7600 GS to XFX 8600 GT

    The XFX 7600 GS is a really, really weak card, in my opinion. I used to have an eVGA 7800 GT and I was able to run things like Quake 4 and WarCraft 3 on most settings without any problems, and now that I have an XFX 7600 GS, Quake 4 isn't even possible (way too slow) and if I have any kind of...

    Issues with lag spikes

    Wouldn't it happen on all of them, though?

    Issues with lag spikes

    I'm on a home network with about 9 computers on it, all of which have access to the internet. I have a DGL-4100 wired gaming router and before I got it, I could actually play online games without much lag trouble despite siblings and parents looking at things on YouTube and downloading things...

    If I was lacking power in my PSU...

    I'm suspecting that I'm lacking enough power to fuel my entire system: eVGA 7800 GT eVGA mobo AMD 3700 San Diego 2x1 GB OCZ 250gb HD 4 USB drives (almost always in use) CD burner floppy (never in use) fans I think all I have is like an Antec 400w PSU. Is this enough to fuel my...

    Can I hook up a wireless router to an existing wired router?

    Can I hook up a wireless router to an existing wired router? ie) Hooking up a Linksys WRT54GL to a D-Link DGL-4100? The Linksys WRT54GL would be branching off one of the D-Link DGL-4100's lines and not using the main line that goes into the D-Link DGL-4100. Would this work? Thanks for...

    Could someone clarify something for me?

    I noticed right after posting but was too lazy to correct it. Most people say that the WRT54G is decent as well - the earlier versions anyway. Okay, so, let me talk a little bit more about what I'm trying to do here. I want to have XBOX Live (regular XBOX, not 360) and the Wii and the...

    Could someone clarify something for me?

    After reading around a bit, I've seen most people recommend the Linksys WRT54G as a very good wireless router. Apparently it's compatible with the DD-WRT as well which makes it a pretty formidable router. What caught my eye though is that I read that it's possible to use it as a wired router...

    Could someone clarify something for me?

    Thank you both for your informative replies. What I really wanted to know is whether or not I needed the Gaming Adapter, or if I could just go with getting the Gaming Router. Would performance suffer (in comparison to the Gaming Adapter) if I just went with the Gaming Router? Going with the...

    best budget card?

    I'm selling my eVGA 7800 GT 256MB and I need something that can handle the simple old good games like WC3 and CS 1.6 without any FPS slippage. The card needs to be PCIE. Anyone have any recommendations?

    Are "a" and "I" words or just letters?

    Now "infailable" - that's not a word. But "I" and "a" definitely are. I'm guessing you meant "infallible"?
