    Looking for advice on my upcoming PC build

    OK, here we go: 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Primary uses in the order: 1. The only PC in the apartment, so all web browsing will be done on it. I frequently browse with 10+ windows/tabs open at once. :) 2. Watching SD DivX content...

    Is it time to step up to PCIe?

    Well, I'm working on getting warranty service for my AIW 9700 Pro from ATI. The customer support is not all that impressive. I was thinking of upgrading my video card, but then again, I'm not sure I need to since I only play one or two racing games (FIA GTR, Richard Burns Rally). Considering my...

    Logitech Driving Force Pro on a PC?

    I really like the look of this wheel over MOMO Force and the 900-degree adjustibility is cool as well. Is it possible to have this work on a PC? Specifically, I'm playing FIA GTR and Richard Burns Rally. So, I'd like to know if the force feedback etc would work in those games. Thanks!

    When will the desktop PCs be truly wireless?

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who's tired of the cable mess behind the computer. Every "wireless" device still has a receiver that you have to plug into a USB port. When will we see a standard adopted for all peripherals and then have that standard built-in on the motherboard so there are...

    Win 98 to Win 98 SE - please help

    OK, I'm installing a wireless network for a friend of mine. However, the wireless PCI card needs 98 Second Edition to work (tried installing in Win98, no joy). They have Win98SE full CD.

    Hi, When I play CMR04, all I can hear is co-driver voice. I get no engine sound, no gearbox sound, no crash sounds.

    ATI TV cannot tune channels

    Hello, I've installed my AIW 9700 Pro, connected TV cable and did the Autoscan. I'm supposed to have channels from 2-70 plus a couple of odd ones beyond that. However, I only get 2, 3, and 53-68 channels. I'm missing channels 4-52, whichc is very odd since there are many local stations that are...
