MSI Pros: -Awesome build quality -Great cooling -I like MSI Palit Pros: -2GB VRAM for same price as MSI 1GB I should mention that in a month or two I'll be upgrading to a 5760x1200 setup, so my initial thought is that more VRAM is the way to go. What do you think?

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I will be using this to play RIFT, TOR, and some of the hotter games coming out this year. I'm not huge into FPS games but I love MMOs (sadly) and I will be playing a few others like Duke Nukem Forever and Skyrim...

I decided to build my best friend a new computer with my birthday money, and quite frankly, I need your help! 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Playing MMOs, he mainly plays WoW. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? As cheap as...

Hey guys, I have a pretty simple question. My best friend is in town and we're doing some computer upgrades for him. We bought him 2GB of PC-2700 RAM when his motherboard actually supports up to PC-3200 RAM. Would there be a noticeable difference if we took the RAM back and went with 3200, or...

I'm attempting to reinstall Windows XP. I have my CD-ROM set to first boot priority in the BIOS, but I have an interesting problem. My keyboard goes inactive and doesn't work during the small amount of time the screen reads "Please press any key to boot from CD..." which means I can't start the...

In my haste to buy some new RAM for my 6 month old Macbook, I ended up buying a 1 x 2GB stick of Corsair RAM rather than a 2 x 1GB pair. Will this negatively impact me in any way? Could I possibly get a second stick for 4GB? o.O

For Christmas I got my girlfriend a Dell Inspiron 1521 laptop so she could use it for school and play Sims 2. Anywhere between 20 minutes to an hour playing Sims 2 on minimum settings it begins to badly artifact. System specs: AMD Athlon 64 x2 TK-55 (1.8GHz/512KB) 1GB DDR2 667MHz ATI...

For Christmas my girlfriend will be having a new dell laptop under the tree, and I want her to have a game to play on it. She has frequently mentioned that The Sims is her favorite game... but it seems like there's 20 versions with 90 expansion packs. Which one is generally considered the...

I thought my previous video card had bit the dust, so I just invested in an 8800GTX. My PC still won't run! When I start it, the fans whirr to life, but my monitor remains dark and the computer does one long beep, followed by three short beeps. My motherboard is an ASUS M2N-SLi Deluxe. Could...

Well I've been on my laptop for about a month now because my PC won't work. I decided that since I have some free time finally, now is the time to troubleshoot and hopefully fix! 90% of the time it will boot into Windows (XP Pro) no problem. After about 30 seconds to a minute (it varies), it...

Alright, I've made the decision to go with a MacBook - I'm primarily going to use it for school and work, to watch movies on the go, listen to music, and browse the web. No gaming. Should I get the bottom-of-the-line MacBook? It has a 2.0GHz c2d, whereas the higher priced ones have a 2.16GHz...

Okay, so I have a first generation iPod. Recently, it decided to go into "Disk Mode" and it sounds like the harddrive is making a lot of noise. I went to iPod's support website to learn how to reset it, and it was to no avail. It will not get out of Disk Mode, and it makes a constant scratching...

Okay, so I'm just making a real quick, dumb animation for a friend to cheer them up. I worked probably 25 min total on the thing, and when I hit play at the top of the program to preview it, everything is great. So I export it and upload it to the web.... 90% of the things are black and...

Basically I'm going to have a person standing next to a giant flaming ball, and I have no idea what I need to do about the glow reflecting off the person's skin. The lighting is completely dark other than the flame. Any suggestions? :( I'm a noob for sure. Btw, I know this is pretty bad but...

Thinkin' about doing some minor overclocking on my 7950GX2, but I'm kind of concerned about the temps. According to the nVidia control panel, the card idles at 67 C at best (when the house is cool and the computer fans are turned up to max). Normal idle is more like 69-71C. I did some...

Uh, did they nerf the graphics of SWG or something? Last July when I played the game on the rig in my sig, I could turn up tons of eye candy and actually push my system to its limits. Today I reinstalled, and turned up what I could (though it feels like there werent that many options) and it...

Hey guys, I have a computer I'm interested in selling here in the [H] but have no idea where to go to find out/ask how much it is worth. Any advice?

For sale! 17" HD LCD TV made by LG Electronics. TV is in perfect used condition (no scratches, problems, dings, etc). Bought this about a year ago at $799.99. I am asking for $430.00 shipped! TV has doubled as my XBox 360 display and computer monitor for the past 6 months or so. Capable...

Hey guys, I was surfing the web over at the Widescreen Gaming Forum and I found this picture and must have this desk. Any ideas who makes it?

Hey guys. I'm a newbie overclocker with some questions about how it works in a graphics card respect. I've managed to OC my BFG 7950 GX2 to 577/736. Idle temps are anywhere between 62-67C and the highest I've seen it while gaming was roughly 80C. As a newbie overclocker, these seem like...

Hey everyone. I recently just gathered enough money together to build a nice gaming rig for myself. I asked my friend to build it because, well, he's a guru and I am not. I had him watercool my CPU and everything. So, now that I'm watercooled, I think I want to overclock... but the problem is...
