    Want to build a new computer, help? :)

    Does anyone know what exactly the 320-6190 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT is? I am getting a Dell with this card and IF I wanted to go SLI I assume I need to get the exact same card, correct? It would be cheaper to get the 2nd card, whatever it is, from some other retailer.

    Strange New Problem

    I have the same issue in Safe Mode as well it seems. None of the security apps except for AdAware stay open for use. I installed a Patch from Microsoft that was for a similar issue and that didn't work as well.

    Strange New Problem

    I have Windows XP SP2 and all was good until AVG started not working. I couldn't update or DL a new copy since every time I went to Grisoft's site the Browser (IE 6 or FF) would just exit. Now I cannot run anything like HiJack This or AdAware without the applications simply exiting within a...

    Network Question

    I did write to DLINK and they mentioned that too much traffic can be an issue - and they recommended getting rid of UPnP on my PCs - though my PC doesn't seem to have it anyway. DLINK doesn't offer a firmware update for the DI-707P. Linksys hasn't gotten back to me but I still had issues after...

    Network Question

    Heh, well I put my ol' D-LINK 707P back on as my router and I still have the problem - I lose PC/Activity within some random period of time. I am baffled, this is a newer Motorola Surfboard modem that seems to be fine by itself. Can a modem be called defective if it works great by itself but...

    Network Question

    Well I got them all to work but I first had to restore to factory settings. I then did all that my Virtual Work required BUT I left out the HTTP to HTTPS change and it works fine. Ugh. It is DHCP, BTW. It wouldn't even let me log in to the router. The one successfully running machine even...

    Network Question

    I just hooked up my Linksys WRT45G and only ONE computer can get online. I have 3 computers hooked up to router and I am using a Motorola Surfboard Modem on cable broadband. All are XP machines, all are hardwired for now. I configured the router on the machine that cannot connect to the...

    Laptop problems - XP Home

    I have a laptop with XP home, 512MB and 40GB HD. Windows XP tries to start up then blips to a blue screen then reloads to the 'safe mode, 'regular mode' option screen - that is the constant loop. I cannot access XP Home in any mode - it always blips into that blue screen then back to the...

    how long will a 6600gt last for gaming ?

    It should last a while. My Ti4400 finally had to be retired this year. It also looks like the video card war is slowing a bit.

    Flat Panel decision!

    I just purchased the 1905FP for a bit over $300 taxes, licenses and shipping included. Great monitor and the USB ports are a nice touch.

    What's the simplest way of setting up a dual monitor?

    Dual Monitors on XP Pro here and I cannot get the taskbar to stretch across the two monitors. Is there a non-third party way of doing this?

    XP Pro & Home in boot file? There is only one partition?

    Is it better to create one huge partition or two partitions, one for the OS (WinXP Pro) and one for the rest of the applications? And would a 6 GB partition be enough for the OS?

    Wierd Win XP pro/browser problem.

    I just got a new computer and installed my Windows XP pro on it. Most things seem to work except it may take a few times to get a working browser. FireFox 1.0.1 and IE 6 crash to the desktop 1-3 times before I can view the internet. I also had issues with Norton 2004 being unable to update...

    Glitchiness

    My Ti4400 machine does have a bit of trouble with Bloodlines, especially with the rain effect. Guess it's time to save for whatever will be an upper mid-range video card in a few months for both machines.

    Glitchiness

    I have another machine that runs the game just fine but with a 1.5Ghz P4 and the Ti4400. I did just update the drivers and clean up some of the processes but there is only a slight improvement. How does the FX5200 compare to a Ti4400?

    I have a DELL 4600 (2.8GHz, 512MB), 17" LCD (E172FPb), GeForce FX5200 (128MB), SB1024. I am playing some games (not the latest gen, Neverwinter Nights for example) and I notice a lot of glitchiness, game hangups, sound clipping. I cannot figure out what the problem is. I have disabled the...

    Frontpage 2000 does not work with XP service pack 2?

    It seems my Frontpage 2000 does not work with XP service pack 2 or possibly some other component. I get an error at 0x73e6827e about memory not being read. The repair procedure was done a couple of times as well as loading/reloading. I still cannot get FP2000 to work with XP SP2. Any ideas?

    New old Hard Drive

    My old computer's power supply blew up so I put the old HD in as a slave in the 'new' computer. The problem is the old HD randomly starts up and shuts downs (whirring noises) and it slows down the whole works for a bit. Is there a way to control or limit this since the old HD is now only a backup?

    Academic Software

    Is there any difference in the software that is sold through the teacher/faculty/student discount programs? The sometimes HUGE difference in price has me wondering. My friend just got StudioMX for more that 1/2 off what is available to the general public. Is this a PR thing or are there...

Well the computer will not connect to AOL no matter what we do, it won't dial-up to anything even hyperterminal...

    My GeForce Ti4400

    I have the GeForce Ti4400 w/128mb (MSI). It seems I am not getting very good performance anymore. AOW:Shadow Magic and NeverWInter Nights bog down on 800X600 and low refresh settings. Any tips or tricks to get more oomph out of this card?
