    Video card not doing as well as i thought

    I highly appreciate the input. That's just what i wanted to hear. It's good to have input based on reality rather than theory. I can get a x2 3800 for around $60. It appears that it's the only 939 still in production that's worth anything.

    No, my current one isn't. That would be a good idea.

    Video card not doing as well as i thought

    I thought that could be it and figured that'd be the first response as well. However, I guess I was thinking that the processor was plenty fast for wow. I was thinking about upgrading to a x2 3800 which should be tons faster than my old amd64 3200. What do you think?

    Video card not doing as well as i thought

    I just upgraded from a 6600gt to a x1950gt (256mb agp version). My complete specs are amd64 3200, 1gb ram and the new card. I researched a lot before i bought the new card and figured the new card would be at least twice as fast but possibly much more. I decided to hold off on pci-e for a few...

    Videos are tripping my computer out!

    I recently reformatted b/c of some problems I was having so everything should be going great, right? The other day I tried to watch a video in windows media player and it instantly sucked up 100% of the cpu. I couldn't do anything else unless I ctrl alt del to close out of the program which...

    Did I lose my data?

    Strangely enough, I just logged back on to windows and now the drive is showing up. How strange is that?

    Did I lose my data?

    I completely deleted the first partition and did a complete format, but didn't touch the other partition of course (I can still see the data). It doesn't matter if the limiter is removed because there are two partitions. It's just strange that windows saw it before but not now. My bios settings...

    Did I lose my data?

    Ok. I have linux and just booted it up and linux still sees both partitions and my data is still there which is great! However, how do I get windows to see the data again? Honestly, I think I used a program from my harddrve manufacturer to partition it last time. But, I'm really not wanting to...

    Did I lose my data?

    I had this HD partitioned into two drives of course because of xp's limitations. I had about 80gigs of home videos on the second part. I thought if I reformatted the part that xp was installed that the other part wouldn't be affected, but now, I can't see my other partition. Did this delete...

    Data Card adapter for a desktop

    This is one of the adapters that I've looked at. So you think this particular one will work well. Is there one that will performs better or will this one work just as good? I think that I want a pci card adapter like the one you showed, but just in case, is there one that I can put in one of...

    Data Card adapter for a desktop

    I've found a couple of things that I think will work, but I'm not sure. The card is a Type II pc card. I found a router for $250, but that's more than I want to spend. Can somebody please show me a good adapter to use this wireless card on my desktop. Thanks

    Vista installation question

    I have three harddrives: 250, 80 and a 40. I have the 250 partitioned of course. I was going to just install Vista on the 40 because I don't have anything on it. I would just change my boot priority depending on which I would like to use. I was trying to install Vista and it never asked me where...
