    Mixing RAM - same brand, different product - will it cause problems?

    I'm thinking of adding more RAM to my PC. Currently I have two RAM modules (I can install up to 4 modules). The RAM I currently have is: Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 X 1GB) DDR2-800 Dual Channel Kit KHX6400D2LLK2/2G. I would like to add 2 more modules of the same kit but the only online store I can...

    Calling all Sapphire brand owners!

    If you are a brand-loyal Sapphire graphics card owner then perhaps you could answer my query. I have a SFF PC which currently houses a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT (AGP) card. I want to upgrade the card to a Sapphire HD 2600 Pro or XT (AGP version, naturally) and was wondering if there are forum users...

    eSata cable - different from an internal SATA cable?

    I have an eSata port on my motherboard and I want to buy an external hard drive enclosure that has an eSata connection. The brand of HDD enclosure that I'm thinking of buying doesn't come with an eSata cable so I was wondering if a standard internal SATA cable could be used to connect the HDD...

    Radeon cards and Avivo technology

    Is ATI's avivo technology simply video in/video out capability? If so, then any Radeon X1xxx card with the avivo feature can stream video into the computer, yes?

    Intel Pentium D 930/940 vs Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+

    Currently in my country (New Zealand) the last-gen Pentium CPUs have dropped a lot in price while the last-gen AMD CPUs have dropped very little. Based on current pricing info, the Pentium D 930 is $200 cheaper than the Athlon64 x2 3800+ and the Pentium D 940 $100 cheaper. How do the two Intel...

    Where are the Via K8T900 motherboards?

    I've checked just about all the major mobo maker's websites and none list any mobos with Via's newest AMD chipset, the K8T900. Given that this chipset was reviewed way back in Nov 2005 I would have expected some of the mobo makers to have released products based on this chipset. Has there been a...

    About Nvidia's Geforce 6150 chipset

    Thanks for the replies. I was hoping the 6150 would be a quantum leap from TNT2 Ultra graphics, so sounds as if it would be ideal for the use I intend for it. From some of the 6150 board reviews I've read, they come mostly in micro-ATX trim so I can use smaller cases which will be a big plus as...

    About Nvidia's Geforce 6150 chipset

    Have a question about the power of Nvidia's Geforce 6150 on-board graphics chipset: what generation of Nvidia graphics card would the performance of the 6150 be equal to? Geforce 256, Geforce2, Geforce3, Geforce4? I have an old PC which my child uses, it has a Nvidia TNT2 Ultra card, and I'm...

    is there a agp nvidia 7300 ?

    There is no AGP version of the 7300GS and there probably won't be. The budget cards like the 6200 and 7300 series use 'TurboCaching' where the video card accesses system memory to top up the small amount of memory included on it. TurboCaching is possible only through the PCI-Express slot. This...
