    Biostar 965PT Problem

    So today I decided to switch a AsRock 4CoreDual-VSTA for my Biostar 965PT that I had for a while that I knew was not dead. It worked before very well but then when I was messing with the RAM the Biostar wouldn't post. The AsRock took over for some time, and the RAM seemed to be ok. Today I...

    AGP 8x on AGP 4x...

    One and a half years ago I upgraded from an integrated video card to a Nvidia Mx-4000 AGP 8x...however, I had AGP 4x and my friend persuaded me that AGP 4x is actually half as fast as the AGP 8x and said there was no point in getting a better graphics card. So I bought his MX-4000.... Now I'm...

    what's the highest refresh rate a monitor can go?

    Mine can only go up to 85Hz for 1024x768 or 100Hz for 968x512 (or whatever it is). The schools Dell can to up to 100Hz for 1024x768. What's the highest possible? I think I've seen 120Hz, but I'm not sure....can someone tell me the fastest refresh rate for a CRT monitor is?

    Are these temps correct?

    In the BIOS, the temps read 51 C. That seems fine. I just downloaded Motherboard Monitor 5 and it says the temps are 127 C CPU and 16 C Case. Is this really high? When I first saw it I freaked out. But it's been running for almost 3 years. So is anything wrong with it? Is this normal? on stock

    Firstly, my friend was upgrading his graphics card from an x200 integrated to a 6800GS. For some reason it wasn't working so he was complaining about it.

    More video memory = more performance? I need this question answered...

    This is my first post, so please try to be nice :) My friend and I were argueing over this topic. He says that certain games require a certain amount of memory and that a 64 MB video card can't run certain games. I argued that performance matters more on the type of RAM the video card has and...
