    Need some advice on connecting 7950gts to vizio vx37L hdtv

    So I have a computer I've decided to connect to my LCD tv. I have 2 options. Use RGB, or use HDMI (via dvi/hdmi adapter). In either case I need to buy the cables so I'm not sure there's any real cost savings in going to RGB. What are the advantages/disadvantages to either connection? Which...

    Audio posts?

    I've decided to replace my asus a7n8x deluxe motherboard (and CPU), and the feature I like the most about it is the audio posting. Are there other motherboards out there with more current chipsets (nf4 level or better) that have this ability? I know EPOX has some LEDs that show various...

    6150 chipset mb question

    Has any issues been reported (with the MSI or Asus boards) regarding using an ATI video card, vs. an Nvidia card? I'm looking to replace the on board video with a better gaming solution (surprise surprise) and I'm wondering if there are cards I should avoid. I've got an ASUS A8N-VM CSM though I...

    Averatec 5110P laptop questions- replacement parts

    Recently a slim NEC OEM DVD burner went on sale that is usable in some laptops. It had never dawned on me that replacing the burner in my laptop was possible. So my first question is- how replaceable? Obviously I can't just get any old burner but clearly some models should be able to be used...

    All in 1 Printers- Canon vs HP

    I'm looking to get a new printer, and I really want 1 of those all in 1 printer things (copier, fax, scanner and printer.) My sister's got the HP 950, which has been discontinued and seems great to me. She used to have 2 different Canon models and had bad experiences with them- they failed to...

    I've got an asus A7N8X deluxe mb and use the on board sound. I've found though that there are certain applications (yahoo messenger) where I want to record some output but the system doesn't allow me to do so (like in voice chat, i want to record the chats). Some people have recommended adding a...

    CDRW suggestion?

    I had a question about CDRW suggestions. I've currently got a machine with a TDK 40X IDE cdrw. I've no complaints. I'm thinking of upgrading to a 52X but only if the price is right (like say <$20 after rebate) and only if a 52X Lite on model would be worth replacing my TDK. Is this worth the...

    While I'm at my wits end at resolving my problems with my Asus A7N8X deluxe mboard (no sound, even with a clean install of win2k and the new asus drivers. Device manager shows no errors, speaker setup says everythings working but I hear nothing) I'm still in need of building another Athlon...

    Trying to find certain utilities (windows nt/xp/2k)

    I'm trying to find a program (or multiple programs) that can do the following: 1> provide detailed information about the CPU installed on a given computer.

    Creative CDRW- Frys $150

    Fry's had the Creative Labs CDRW 12/10/32 model for $150. I've also seen a Plextor 12/30/32 at a different, local, store for ~$169. Is this no longer such a hot deal for these models? I remember a couple of months ago, people were going nuts over a $140 deal for these.
