    I'm having a frustrating problem with video output from my PS3 (Slim version) to my new Samsung UN46D6000 HDTV through a Marantz SR4002 AV receiver. First off, this home theater set-up worked fine with my previous TV that I replaced with the Samsung. I have a cable box, Xbox 360, and PS3 all...

    BFG GF 7800 GS fan whine

    About a month ago, my computer case would randomly start emitting an extremely high pitched whine. It's almost the most annoying sound I've ever heard. Actually, it was not completely random, it seemed to happen during high loads especially during games. Well, a good thump on the case was a...

    But I (almost) just got my 9800 Pro :(

    Question on dual channel RAM

    I currently have 512 MB of RAM with 2x256 MB DIMMs. I would like to upgrade to 1 GB of RAM but I am on a budget. What would be the performance difference between getting 1 512 MB DIMM and putting in my third RAM slot as opposed to getting 2 512 MB DIMMs and getting rid of the 256 MBs...

    I have a 80 GB Maxtor hard drive that I am using as a secondary storage drive (mainly mp3s). I recently installed Windows XP and during the set-up I tried to convert that drive to NTFS (since it was FAT32). During the conversion, something happened, unfortunately I cannot remember what. At...
