    Olevia LT23HVX LCD TV

    Here's the newegg link for it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16889022013 This seems like, price-wise, it's a very good deal for what it's capable of. I'm going to college soon, and I'm looking for something that can work well as a TV, as a computer monitor, and as something...

    What's a good anti-spam filter for email?

    I've been searching around for a good program to do this, and can't really find any definite reviews for a program. I'm willing to pay for it as well. Any recommendations?

    Question about keys on Kaspersky

    When I buy a one year key from Kaspersky, will that only work on ONE computer? Because I love Kaspersky's based on the free trial version, but I really don't feel like paying almost $140 just to protect four computers.

    Problems with Router recognizing new Cable Service

    I had Earthlink's DSL service before (which had it's own router), and today I bought the self-installation kit from Charter for the Cable service. It came with it's own modem, and works great when you connect the modem straight to one computer; however, I can't get it to work with my router. The...

    DDR3 System Memory ?

    I remember reading how AMD is heavily pushing the DDR3 research movement in an effort to avoid even having to switch to DDR2 and put their effort into switching to DDR3.

    I think I have a virus

    Thanks, MechBgon!! That was an excellent walkthrough, and it got rid of the virus (as well as some other things). Hopefully I'll be wiser next time and not get myself into a position where I'll have to go through all this again. :)

    I think I have a virus

    I'm pretty sure I either have spyware or a virus hurting my computer, and I'm leaning more towards the latter. My MSI Lan utility program shows that I'm sending out packets pretty much as fast as I possibly can, even at startup with no network-using programs that I know of running. On top of...

    What would cause a drop like this in 3dMark05??

    Excellent, you guys were right -- the drivers did get screwed. I'm going to assume it happened sometime when I decided to play around with overclocking, and as a result of that whole fiasco they malfunctioned. Just installed the drivers and ran it on stock settings - 5619. Edit> 6033 with...

    What would cause a drop like this in 3dMark05??

    I did do all of that when I installed the 5.2 drivers, and those didn't help. Ok, I'll install those nForce drivers and see what happens.

    What would cause a drop like this in 3dMark05??

    Yeah I ran it right after I had rebooted the comp and got 3749. What exactly should I be looking for? I found the MSI Neo2 Platinum nforce 3 system driver (I have the neo2 plat board), is that what will fix the AGP drivers?

    What would cause a drop like this in 3dMark05??

    Ok, I've run all my adaware/spybot programs and deleted all my spyware, installed the 5.2 catalysts, and set both OpenGL and Direct3D settings all the way to the left to performance instead of quality, and I still only got 3749 on 3dMark05.

    What would cause a drop like this in 3dMark05??

    Actually, I haven't run my anti-spyware stuff in a while, so that might actually be hurting me... but I doubt it would do *that* much damage.

    What would cause a drop like this in 3dMark05??

    I don't believe AA/AF was disabled; I can't change the settings in 3dMark (downloaded version) so do you mean that AA/AF was disabled in the ATI control panel when I had the 5500? I'm pretty sure I've always set my Vsync so it works depending on the program's preference. Edit> I used the...

    What would cause a drop like this in 3dMark05??

    Back when I first built my comp (X800XT, A64 3200+ Winchester, 1gig corsair RAM), it hit 5500 on stock settings on 3dMark05. I recently decided to run 3dMark05 just for the hell of it, and it got something like 3680. Any reason why it would drop like this, and any cure for it?

    Trying to find a digital Camera

    I've been looking around for the EOS 350D on the internet since it was just revealed, and don't see any sites that are selling it; I have seen several people mention that they have bought the body, but haven't been able to find a single site that sells it. Anybody have a clue where to find this...

    Need help with recognizing computers in home network

    Ok, so there's three computers in my house: These three computers, A, B, and C, were set up in a network that even had problems at that time; namely, computer A could access every other computer, but B and C couldn't access A (and A had the printer...) . Now, I replaced one of those computers...

    Heatsink on Gigabyte 9250 (GV-R925128D)

    Ok, I got the card, and there is the silver thing with many pins on top of it (don't exactly know how to explain) ; anyways, there is no fan over the core of it, but on top of that there isn't a plug for the fan, so I'm assuming this is some sort of 'passive' heatsink? Will it affect the ability...

    DVD media...???

    Most media will burn perfectly on a good burner; how long they last is what differentiates them. Cheap Memorex's can easily stop working in a year, as will many, many other brands. Personally, I suggest shelling out the few extra bucks to get Taiyo Yuden DVD+-R's from rima.com, and then keep...

    MSI 865PE Neo2-P

    Without updating the BIOS, you need to set the AGP lock to 67. Newer BIOS versions have PCI/AGP locks set automatically.

    Compatability check

    AFAIK there's no non-gaming/video-intensive program that requires DX9; if in two years DX9 does become needed on some basic applications like Photoshop, I'm sure there will be enough money in my wallet to buy a DX9 supported vid card.

    Building in-expensive computer

    Alright, cool. I guess I'll go with an XP--The SATA/IDE difference in $$ isn't that much and I personally prefer SATA, but I'll think about it. She also has a tendancy to have several photo-editing programs open and in use, so she just might be using 1 gig of RAM. I'll see what I have left...

    Building in-expensive computer

    To start: One of my parent's computer, a Dell, is getting to be over five years old now, and they'd really like a new computer. I've been thinking about building it for them; They're going to keep using the same monitor (17" LCD), but the rest will probably be upgraded. It's mostly for my...

    Problem with video codecs

    Defiler pack is fairly well known, but alas. I installed the latest FDDShow and like I said, it works better; but it still has video artifacting in the episodes, while VLC is running perfectly. I guess I'll try playing with MPC's filters.

    Problem with video codecs

    It started about a week ago; I was using the defiler pak with Media Player Classic, and a certain avi file of a certain show I had played fine. Then, all of a sudden, it encountered a problem; it wouldn't play the video (the audio was fine) for the first 15-20 seconds of the show, on each and...

    Problems with overclocking A64 3200+w (corruption, etc.)

    I was running the RAM at 100 divider, and since I had been running 2.4Ghz earlier today with 166 divider I decided to test the processor straight out at 250FSB; however, this encountered several big errors (including a 'Warning Overclocking set to default levels please check them' message during...

    Problems with overclocking A64 3200+w (corruption, etc.)

    I believe it was at 1.55vcore with 0% over vid, but I couldn't check once it started having those errors because it wouldn't even make it to the BIOS screen. I'll work with it tomorrow.
