PCI Video Card or New Mobo + PCIe Video Card

Don't worry. He will only get smiles, hugs, and "thank yous." But I still think he's penny-wise and pound-foolish for not letting me just take the money and build something myself.

PCI Video Card or New Mobo + PCIe Video Card

Thank you very much, guys. I had no idea Dell even had a forum. I wonder if they make it hard to locate on purpose. Or maybe I'm blind. I still don't see how to navigate to it from their main site. Thanks, again.

PCI Video Card or New Mobo + PCIe Video Card

It's just stupid to sell a Kia with a BMW engine in it to someone who doesn't know any better, when the rest of the components are crap. I guess in the end it's my brother who benefits, as every component could have been crap. The thing even has a SATA harddrive. Am I the only one that...

PCI Video Card or New Mobo + PCIe Video Card

Neither me nor my brother ordered anything. It was ordered for him by our stubborn, cheap, and computer illiterate father. Dell and every other major computer manufacturer (Compaq/HP) is guilty of selling suckers like my father bizarrely unbalanced computers. i.e. P4 2.8GHz with 256MB RAM and...

PCI Video Card or New Mobo + PCIe Video Card

I would agree if he had had a choice. He was lucky to get anything, as it was ordered for him for college. I was expecting something worse, like a Celeron with 256MB RAM etc. He had no say in the matter. But when I saw that the rest of the hardware turned out to be semi-decent, I figured...

PCI Video Card or New Mobo + PCIe Video Card

So my brother just got a new Dell Demension E310, and the stupid thing has no PCIe x16 slot, just 2 PCI slots and a PCIe x1 slot. The rest of the specs include a P4 2.8GHz w/HT, 512MB RAM (I might throw in another 512MB stick), and - of course - the dreaded integrated EVERYTHING in typical...

All Web Page Text Italicized Except Bold Text. Argh!

All webpage text in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox that is not bold is italicized. This does not apply to any text in Windows; only webpage text. I have checked everything I know to check. I guess it could be some 9300 software option or something. I have no idea. Please help me get...

Inspiron 9300 Released

I went to Circuit City today to look at some 17" WUXGA 1920x1200 glossy screens. From what I saw, they are BEAUTIFUL. Yes, the text is kinda small, but very crisp and readable. Yes, it was kinda glarey, but even in the big store with big bright lights it wasn't much of a bother. Don't listen to...

Parts List + Questions

Well, I'm only getting one 512MB chip for each comp. Is that going to lower performance on the A7N8X?

Asus A7N8X-E deluxe

From what I understand, this is a pretty good board to do just that. Someone else here will probably be able to help you more. I may be buying the A7N8X-X soon, unless I hear of a better cheap mobo, and I plan on OCing. (never done it before, though.) Good luck.

Replacement for GigaByte GA-7DXR?

My brother has been using his computer for around two years now, and has never been able to use any drives on the 3rd and 4th IDE ports (RAID disabled) due to a problem with the board. I do NOT want to get into this here. I tried everything way back when - including RMAing the board -, and it is...
