    driver/BIOS help

    I posted this issue a while back, and still haven't came to a conclusion. I'm having some problems with my display recently. I was wondering if anyone had any advice/help. The affects of whatever is going on is leading some images to appear 'grainy' or whatever. Also, my display will...

    CPU Usage/Possible BUS problem?

    Hello again, Anandtech! I'm having a problem that I just can't figure out how to solve. When doing high memory intensive things on my rig, like playing Warcraft for example, my computer will freeze, somewhat. If I do the three-finger-salute and bring up Windows Task Manager, occassionally I...

    Video Problems

    I'm having a slight problem with my display. Whenever I'm viewing images on my computer, whether they be on the web or local on the hard drive, most all of them appear with little teal or white dots in them, making them look slightly grainy. I've never saw this before. I've tried...

    Are you a fan of anything?

    I'm a fan of cars, on top of my love for computers. I'm restoring a 1966 Dodge Charger with a 440 magnum engine swap, along with a lot of other aftermarket and high performance parts. It's quite interesting. Check it out at CarDomain.com. I'm also building a Plymouth Sundance (hahahaah) to...

    heat isolation

    I had this idea, like some others some of you may have read, spur of the moment. I was actually thinking about isolating items inside the case that produce the most heat or that could be cooled solely for better performance. I was thinking of isolating the power supply, however keeping it...

    Cable/Satellite into computer

    Hrm, well I have a nVidia GForce 3 Ti200 128MB video card now, which I don't think has a dual output. I bought it a little over a year ago. >_<

    Cable/Satellite into computer

    Great advice, from both of you. I'll probably check into the dual monitor output card, but you say that if I install another video card it would work as well, right? Do they make video cards for PCI slots? I have a seperate AGP card since my mobo doesn't have onboard video. =( I'll...

    Cable/Satellite into computer

    A friend of mine has a Hewlett Packard setup he bought from BestBuy (some multimedia seutp) and he is able to run his TV through his video card somehow. I haven't looked at how it works really, so I figured I'd ask the experts here at Anandtech for the best way and best hardware to do this. Some...

    What can make me feel this way? my girl....

    This is somewhat related, but not really. I had a peanut butter coated apple for the first time after it was reccomended by a friend of mine in New York. I thought it was just a Yankee thing, but apparently my family has had it before and just never told me about this wonderful snack. So...

    I'm worried about Satin and HELL!

    Haha, all the talk about fabrics stirred everyone away from the original message (I think) he was trying to convey and make us think about. However, my opinion is that Satan and Hell are just folklore, sort of like the boogey-man or something; something created to make kids behave and stay out...

    Looking for silent top quality 80mm fan

    I can tell you to stay away from the Vantec Tornado 120 cfm fans. I had two 80mm in my case on a fan controller and the noise was just so insane that I actually bought a set of headphones for gaming. I've had some good results out of the CoolerMaster blue LED fan that VallyBally mentioned...
