    Images are looking weird in internet explorer

    No I am using a DSL connection, I am not using any type of proxy server, but the server I am connecting to might be. I doubt that would be the cause though, becuase both computers are running the same ISP on the same router, and only the one computer is experiencing the problem.

    Images are looking weird in internet explorer

    hi there, thanks for the reply, I actually just turned that off and it did help a little, but not all the way. I still notice that image color is distorted for some images. It seems like the computer is too fast for the browser and starts putting random colors in the picture before if...

    can someone give me one last scan through before I click "BUY!"

    honestly no, I am not someone who has to have the absolute best stuff exactly when it comes out. I need this computer soon, and I need it to last me. Why not have something that will last me a few years at a reasonable price? I am not biased about AMD or Intel. From what I read in...

    I read in a few places that performance wise it offers only more cache and 64 bit capabilities. Things that I dont necessarily need at this point for the things I am doing.

    can someone give me one last scan through before I click "BUY!"

    So DDR2 RAM is not going to give me a performance increase over DDR2? If not, then I might as well just get 2 Gigs of DDR for almost the same price. Also everyone tells me mixed things about the raptors, are you guys speaking from experience, or from reviews?

    Actually on Zip zoom fly it didnt say that the x700 was retail version so it was probably just the card without the software and games for $169.99 On the other side, they had 3 retail versions of the 6600GT for only $15 bucks more, and every review i read said that it outperformed the ati in...
