Thanks for the comment. Looks like it ended up just being lack of grunt on the part of the 3200. I picked up a Radeon 6750 and everything is running fine now. (Or at least better, I had some issues early on, but a reboot seems to have fixed it). I never had any issues with 720p or 1080i...

Title pretty much explains it. I'm suffering from very poor performance in Windows Media Center whenever I have the CableCARD installed into my new Ceton Inifinitv 4. Menu response is very slow and live TV and video playback stutter badly. A few interesting things... 1) this only occurs...

The biggest problem would probably be OS compatibility, not hardware compatibility. AGP vs. PCIe shouldn't make one iota of difference so long as whatever OS you're using has the driver support. Windows XP doesn't really support most older DOS era games without a struggle (I'm guessing, I've...

I know it *shouldn't* have anything to do with it being dual-link. I tried every configuration I could think of. New cable with new monitor, new cable with old monitor, new cable in DVI out 1, new cable in DVI out 2, I even took the monitor and the cable over to another computer. Nothing...

I have a Westinghouse 22" (1680x1050) and I just bought a Dell 1907FP (1280x1024). I have a single-link DVI cable I've been using on the 22" for a long time that works. I bought a new Dual-Link DVI-D cable (only one I could find) for the Dell and that will not display any resolutions...

My Athlon 64 3000+ (original gen skt 754 NewCastle) is finally due for retirement. The stresses and strains of modern gaming, high def media encoding and it's complete lack of dual anything (it's single core and single channel) are taking their toll. Additionally, it's serving double duty as...

Thesis is in. Laptop is subbing as my desktop (complete with 22" widescreen :)) And thanks to Derwen the part will soon be on it's way. When I bought it I liked that the AC Pro 64 used the default mounting method, and I thought for sure that 6 clips (over the stock cooler's 2) would be...

I've got an Asus K8N-E Deluxe mobo (skt 754) and an Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. The AC 64 attaches to the stock AMD heatsink mount, or at least mine used to. Half of the plastic tabs that the heatsink clips too have broken on mine. They're the ones on the bottom, so the heatsink will...

I recently purchased an Asus W7S-B1B (2.2 GHz Core2Duo, 8400G, 1.5GB DDR2, 160GB etc) which unfortunately, came with Vista Business. Overall, I find Vista to be pretty similar to XP, except that it feels slower (slower even than my A64 3000 skt 754 w/ 1GB RAM). So, I want to downgrade to XP...

Some do, some don't depends on the model manufacturer. I was having second thoughts about the X1950Pro... thinking that maybe the X1650Pro makes more sense given my limited budget (I shouldn't be spending *any* money on this computer), but looking at comparisons the 1950Pro gets about...

Sorry about that, I meant to post the specs of the PSU, but completely forgot. http://www.antec.com/specs/SP450_spe.html That's not the exact PSU (mine doesn't have the SATA ports), but I think it's the same internals. in summary: 2 +12V rails at 15A and 17A Combined +5V, +12V1, +12V2 and...

After having two GPU fans fail on me in as many months, I'm looking to buy a new graphics card. The problem is I'm not sure if my Power Supply can handle it. Rough system specs: Asus K8N-E Deluxe (SKT 754) Athlon 64 3000+ (Newcastle 90nm) 2x 512MB DDR (though may be upgrading to 3) 1x...

Trying to decide on a notebook to supplement my desktop. I want something portable (I'm a college student, and I'd like to be able to do work outside of my apartment from time to time), but I also want something with reasonable gaming capabilities: It's a lot easier to take a notebook to in...

Check your BIOS. there's a setting in most where you can specify whether the computer should reboot on AC Power Loss or remain off. Useful for a server or something, I would imagine.

I've been having an intermittent problem with two of my Seagate 7200.7 SATA hard drives. Occasionally, they will make a weird "whine-click" sort of noise. It sounds similar to the infamous "click of death" but it isn't. Whenever a drive makes the noise, my computer stops responding until...
