I am looking for a good "bang for the buck" HTIB for my medium-sized living room in a duplex. I have a Wii and Xbox 360 (with HD DVD). I have been wanting better sound ever since I moved in 6 months ago and ever since I got Rock Band last week the want has become a need ;)
Doing a bit of...
I want to add another gig of DDR2 to my E6300 rig. My motherboard has 4 slots and 2 are currently occupied by a kit of 2X512MB sticks. I am wondering if I should purchase another kit and fill out my remaining slots (to stay in dual channel) or save a few bucks and get a single stick of 1GB.
Hey guys I have a weird problem... when I first installed Windows XP, my new E6300 appeared as 2 CPUs in Windows XP. Since then, I have formatted and reinstalled for an unrelated reason, but now my C2D appears as a single CPU.
I am concerned that I am not taking advantage of the second core...
Hey, when I started up HL2: Ep1 for the first time Steam warned me that my graphics drivers were out of date. So before my next session I decided to update to the latest (beta) drivers from nvidia.
Now when I boot up in Windows, my screen goes dark (like in sleep mode or something) I hear...
Hey guys, I will be purchasing a Macbook Pro in the near future. I was wondering if I will be able to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter (originally purchased for my DS) to connect to the internet wirelessly with the laptop?
Hey, my friend doesn't have a whole lot of money but he wants to upgrade his Radeon 9600. He currently is running a Sempron 3000 CPU with a gig of RAM, which AGP card do you think would best suit the rest of his current system?
I am thinking an X700 might be enough, but I think he might be...
I got a nice sum of money for Xmas and I am looking to purchase a new AGP video card to replace my aging 9600 Pro in my Athlon 64 socket 754 rig. I am in Canada, looking to purchase from NCIX.com and here are the most popular options according to them:
eVGA E-GEFORCE 6600GT 128M: $178.22...
Last year I bought an Athlon 64 2800+, an Abit KV8 Pro and 1GB of Kingston Value RAM and I decided to stick with my old 9600 Pro thinking I could just upgrade that next. Now that it has started showing its age in games like Battlefield 2 and especially F.E.A.R., I find that my options are rather...
Hey there, my father-in-law is an amateur guitarist and he would like to be able to record his playing on a computer. Apparently Macs are well-suited for this type of thing (as simple as plugging the guitar directly into it?) but of course a PC with similar capabilities would probably be quite a...
One of the PCs (Compaq SR1130NX) the company I work for has a built-in 9-in-1 memory card reader. We recently purchased a new Sony Cybershot digital camera so we bought a high-speed 1GB Memory Stick Pro. We noticed that the transfer speed using the camera attached with a USB cable is faster than...
I was under the impression that the only motherboards that used PCI Express were for Intel processors.
Now I might be confused since I have not been keeping up to date on socket A developments over the past year since I was looking to upgrade to the A64 (which I have now done) and that...
Hello all, I am going to pick up my new components in a few hours and I still haven't decided which RAM I should get to go along with my Athlon 64 2800 and Abit KV8 Pro. I plan on doing a little experimenting with overclocking. Here is what I am looking at (all prices in Canadian dollars)...
Hey guys, I am building a new rig around an Athlon 64 3000+. I have a limited budget and I was wondering if I should get a 36GB Raptor for my OS and programs and use my current 60GB WD as storage or buy an extra 512MB of PC3200 RAM (for a total of 1GB).
What are your thoughts on this?
Should I just get the cheapest name-brand memory that is compatible with my board or is it worth spending the extra cash on faster RAM (either low latency or higher rated like DDR433) ?
I've been mulling over which parts to build my new rig, since I have a limited budget (around $700CDN) here are the options I have narrowed it down to:
CPU: Athlon 64 2800+: $280 or Athlon 64 3000+: $310 (both retail)
Mobo: ASROCK K8S8X SIS755: $130 or ASUS K8V/BASIC K8T800: $150
RAM: 2X...
I saw this over at AMDZone
According to this article, AMD is planning on releasing an Athlon 64 2600+. Looks like it will be clocked at 1.66Ghz and have 512k of L2 cache. What are your thoughts on this?
I am planning on upgrading my aging Athlon XP 1700+ to an Athlon 64 3000+ in the near future. The socket 754 motherboards I am looking at support my current RAM (2X 256MB DDR266). I was thinking I might be able to salvage this RAM to keep the price of this upgrade to a minimum, but I am hesitant...
