After it was done the computer worked fine so I waited a few minutes and restarted the...
I am looking for a good gaming laptop, I would like it to be AMD, have a 6800 or 7800 PCI-E card, and have a GIG of ram. So far all that I have liked is the Acer Ferrari but it doesnt have the high end graphics card I am looking for.

I am looking to upgrade my video card but I want to stay 8x APG so I don?t have to upgrade my mobo. I want to stay in the $250 range, I wanted to go with the GeForce 6800 GT but it seems all the ones priced around my range are out of stock.

***Sorry for the newb question!***
I have read alot of over clocking guides and from what I understand to raise your FSB your need to raise your RAM as well (I have a gig of Kingston hyper-x pc3200 ram.) Now when I go into the bios I do not see any option for raising RAM. I have bumped up the...

OK i read somewhere that if u have a dell (which has no ability to edit FSB and other overclocking functions in the BIOS) and you can discover the real board type (since it has dell all over it) u can flash the bios and unlock the functions? Is this tru?

Ok, so i had a 2.66 p4 chip in my PC, and certain events have taken place so that chip is now out of the picture. Now i took the 1.7 p4 chip from a old computer and and have inserted it in the mobo, they are the same socket types so i asumed it would be compatible. When i turn the computer on...
