    Is it worth to upgrade to 7900 from a 7600?

    I've had my 7600gt for a year now and it was considered a mid-ranged card back then. There's a huge number of great games coming out this fall (Bioshock, Crysis, UT3) and I'm looking to upgrade so that I can run them all well on at least medium settings. Is the increase in performance of a 7900...

    Problems with resolutions with my HD TV

    I recently purchased a new 1080p HD LCD TV and when I plug in my Media PC the max resolution I can display is 1152x864. If I try anything larger the image gets shrunk with huge black bars or just blows up with part of the display offscreen. It's a pretty old PC and the card I'm using is a 6600...

    Not sure how to diagnose this rebooting

    Ever since I built this PC little over a month ago I've had this problem. I get the BSOD and the PC reboots. It happens randomely and not very often (every couple of days). C:\DOCUME~1\ROMULO~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER956a.dir00\Mini070606-01.dmp...

    Can't find decent HDTV tuner card

    (I think this is the right forum for this) My old tv tuner card crapped out and I've been trying to find a replacement. Would like to have HD capabilities (through cable, not antenna) and be reasonably priced with decent DVR software. So far the only one I found was at Newegg...

    Is it as easy as this?

    So I've just built a new system with some moderate OCing in mind. This was a first time for me so I did alot of reading and research on the subject. Then I downloaded clockgen, oc'd the system by 20% with a slider and then hit apply. Is it really as easy as that? I was expecting to have to do...

    How far will the stock fan take me?

    I'm new here and apologize in advance if this question has been asked time and time again. I'm picking up a AMD 64 3200 Venice core and looking to do some mild to moderate OCing (10-20% increase at most). If there is good air circulation in the case, will the stock fan be enough to keep the...

    Can't decide!

    For the past three days I've spent countless hours researching components for a new PC I'm about to build. However, I simply can't figure out which mobo would suite my needs. I'm looking into a mid range gaming rig so my budget is $700-$1000 for all the parts. Unlike previous systems, I plan...
