AGP card 16x9 resolution

Thanks for the reply. It is connected using VGA. I'd ideally like to avoid stretch as I like people in the proportions they were designated at the beginning of existence (be it by evolution or a monotheistic/polytheistic deity). I know my graphics card at the moment can display a 16x9...

AGP card 16x9 resolution

Hi all, I have a computer setup to my tv. Not a fancy home theater type setup, just something that plays video files. Trouble is it's onboard graphics card (comp is about 5 years old) can't handle 16x9, so it's stuck with big black bars on either side, then when you want to watch something...

Ultimate Storage Motherboard

I currently have an Asus P5KR mobo, with 3 hdd's and a dvd writer connected to all four sata ports. I then discovered theres a fifth hidden miles away on the other side of the mobo. That's now full and now I want to add another hdd. Are there any motherboards out there that can cater for...

BSOD with PCI SATA + HDD

Having run out of SATA ports I purchased a SATA PCI card, installed it along with a new drive, and attempted to boot it. Windows 7 didn't automatically install the drivers required, so in went the disc that came with the PCI SATA adaptor. None of the drivers worked, and in the end I tried to...

Hard Drive Identification

I'll keep this quick: I have two seagate 500GB hard drives, and a 1TB hard drive installed in my comp. I need to remove the TB (which isn't the problem), and the 500GB drive that doesn't have windows installed on it. Trouble is, once I open up my computer, I'll easily be able to recognise...

New PCBuild

I rang the shop this morning, and apparently they don't have any EVGA cards in (2-3 week wait), and they're also out of the Enermax Liberty 620W... The alternatives they gave me were an MSI brand GPU, and a Corsair 620 HX PSU. Is MSI reliable? Everyone seems to be going for EVGA, which makes...

Comp Upgrade

I have tested the power consumption out on a power usage calculator (cant remember link/website), and it came to roughly 450 watts. I am a bit on the paranoid side though, and I'd rather have too much power than too little. Would an 850PSU increase the monthly electricity bill? - that just...

Comp Upgrade

just saw the comp build sticky with the questions everyone wants answered: 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. The computer will be used for some gaming, audio editing/mixing, photoshop work, video editing, UEd/Maya, along with general use...

Dual Graphics - the Mobo Side

thanks for the replies. So what you're saying Billb2, is that I don't need an SLI motherboard to run 2 graphics cards off it? But if I have an SLI motherboard, I have to have 2 cards that are the same (even if I'm not running them in SLI - I wouldn't be, one card for one monitor, never...

Dual Graphics - the Mobo Side

Hi, hopefully the title and summary explain: I've finally got round to using two monitors (a Samsung 913B - 19", and a Samsung 226BW - 22" Widescreen). I'm now heading towards my next upgrade - basically the whole works - mobo (P5N32-E), CPU (Q6600), GPU (8800GTS), case, PSU, Memory, CPU...

Is the Time Right for Vista?

It's certainly a possibility for me to get the best socket 939 CPU I can find... I'm still deciding on which Mobo/CPU/Ram to get. The store I've been to before to get upgrades done only stocks the latest socket CPU's from Intel/AMD. I am on quite a tight budget. The main reason for the...
