Brand new to the game. Ive always played FPS type games, but this is a completely different approach. Im having fun.

I wound up picking up a 32” curved philips monitor. Really pleased so far.

Machine is running. What should I use to test and see how it’s performing?

Thanks, now where should I start buying some?

I have just built my first gaming rig in 14 years. Played a ton of MOHAA and BF2, but haven't played anything since those games. What are some fun games I have missed in the past 14 years I should give a try?

1600 is over $110 now. Might as well stick with the 2600.

I’m sure it would be an OEM key. If I want to give it a shot, what would be the best way to try? Dumb it down for me, haven’t installed an OS since my XP days. I have no disks currently. 7 or 10

Ive got a retired laptop with windows 7 on it. Can I use that key to get 10 on my new build?

Bump for PM

Is buying the Windows 10 key in the FS/T thread a legit way to get an OS?

will that work with the same motherboard?

Awesome. Thanks a lot y’all!

Been out of the PC game for a long time. Last rig i built was in 2006. Trying to go cheap and be able to play some games. How does this look? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Disarray357/saved/#view=PnGcTW

I clicked somewhere near the bottom of the screen. WOAH, NSFW!

Bump, after looking into this further, the data will not be in PDF's. It will be a GIS system. So I hope to be able to tap individual parcels on the maps and get additional data.

I have a PDF database that I want to incorperate a large touchscreen monitor in to. I use zoning maps for a county government. We are converting our hard copy maps to the PDFs. I am toying with the idea of using the monitor with a pc. I would love for it to work kinda like an iPad. Bad idea?

We had a former employee who has password protected a file we need to access. It is in .xlsx format. Suggestions? This is not a workbook, it is just a spreadsheet.

I have been using some old dlink router for years, watchin netflix over the wireless connection and such. It seems to be dieing on me now. I live in a remote area and I am not too worried about security. Why should I spend $150 on a router when a $50 one has been meeting my needs? I am on...

Alright, resurecting this thread since I have to make a decision. I have: An old XP machine with a video card that has Svideo out. I want: To be able use the xp machine as a DVR to record OTA tv. I need it to have a tv guide like I find with my dish network DVR. Can I buy a usb tuner and...

Would a USB card be a good component long term, say if I built a good HTPC, would I want a USB card?

I thought about that but by the time I look at parts, I keep running up to $600. Seems if I am going to buy a tuner card, I should get a PCIe, none of my mobo's are PCIe, so on and so on.

Thanks

oops.

I have a ATT DSL connection. It seems to me that my G router already exceeds my download speeds with my DSL. Any point in switching to an N router? I do very little file transfer over the network, so that is not a concern. ___________

The tv is HD, but she would not care if it was SD. Thats all the satellite is right now anyways.

I want to disconnect my satellite but need DVR functions for the OTA local stations to accomplish this. My wife is very tech unfriendly, so whatever I come up with has to be super simple. Ideas?

Thanks. Now to figure out what to buy for my HTPC. I have been out of the loop for too long. Its almost like starting over. The last video card I bought was an ATI 1900 xtx. What are those, 4 years old? I haven't even looked at hardware since then.

Title says it all.

Maybe they are watching too much Avatar?

I can deal with the lag, as long as I can get it to work.

The 9250 and the 9800 used the same driver, up to a point. But using a driver that supported portrait mode would not support the 9250. My question is, will these 2 2400 pros, one PCI and one AGP play nice?

bump

My video card died in my work PC. It is an old Dell that had a 9800 pro in it. I have 3 1440x900 monitors, but had only been able to use 2 of the monitors. I have a 9250PCI card to run the 3rd monitor but it will not work with current AMD drivers and the old drivers it does work with will not...

I would like to mount a camera about 30' away from my pc. This way, I can see the customers that come into my office. I thought about a webcam but the usb cable length looks like it will be a problem. Suggestions? I would display the image on one of my monitors on my desk.

One look at people of walmart will show you that is the truth.

And you didn't make a couple million writing it either.

I need to rotate the screen on a 9250 in an XP pro machine. Anybody know what driver will support that? The 6.11 cats, what AMD says is the current driver, will not do the job. I am trying to rotate with CCC and also tried a program called Irotate.
