    Best Gaming Mouse

    I need a new mouse as mine has gone to heaven.. I tried the IE explorer 3.0, but it seemed a tad on the large side for me. I need something that is excellent for gaming. Gaming is all I do. I usually turn my mouse sensitivity up to around 3/4 suggestions?

    Winxp upgrade reinstall

    Windows XP upgrade seems to require a full install of windows prior to installation. I tried to do an install of a formatted HD and it required a previous version of windows to be installed. What am I doing incorrectly? Also how do you boot off the CD.

    ACPI and Conflicts in my system

    I have Winxp and an asus a7v133 mobo. I have been getting video problems. Visiontek is saying that it could be caused by the acpi irq sharing. Im using a geforce 3 ti500. Are they on crack? Is this really a problem? How would i get the ti500 to sit on its own irq and still use acpi?
