    HTIB for gaming, movies

    I am looking for a good "bang for the buck" HTIB for my medium-sized living room in a duplex. I have a Wii and Xbox 360 (with HD DVD). I have been wanting better sound ever since I moved in 6 months ago and ever since I got Rock Band last week the want has become a need ;) Doing a bit of...

    I am currently playing Civilization IV: Warlords, Neverwinter Nights 2 and Battlefield 2142. Looking forward to Hellgate: London and Crysis.

    RAM upgrade

    Can anyone voice their opinion on this for me? I am leaning towards picking up the cheapest name brand 1GB stick I can find locally.

    RAM upgrade

    I want to add another gig of DDR2 to my E6300 rig. My motherboard has 4 slots and 2 are currently occupied by a kit of 2X512MB sticks. I am wondering if I should purchase another kit and fill out my remaining slots (to stay in dual channel) or save a few bucks and get a single stick of 1GB.

    Core 2 Duo shows up as single CPU

    I reinstalled Vista again and it does seem to be working, so my guess is that I should install Windows XP from a much more recent CD (such as one that already has SP2) because I have had this CD ever since XP came out lol. My brother-in-law told me he can get educational software licenses for...

    Core 2 Duo shows up as single CPU

    I checked that... my PC at the office is a Pentium D and has both options (one graph for all CPUs or one each), but on my new rig only one of the two is listed and its greyed out.

    Core 2 Duo shows up as single CPU

    Hmm, well I made sure ACPI is enabled in the BIOS and I did a repair install of Windows and still no luck. I even installed Windows Vista RC1 and that only shows one CPU also... weird.

    Core 2 Duo shows up as single CPU

    Thanks Prince13, I will try that when I get home :) Makes sense that it's a BIOS thing, because I have been trying quite a few different settings and tweaks to see what works best with my new system. I might have disabled something by mistake.

    Core 2 Duo shows up as single CPU

    PG: XP Pro with SP2 installed. tanis: Windows Task Manager, I guess I should download CPU-Z and see what that tells me.

    Yeah, I have an MSI 965 Neo-F. I installed all the programs that are in the menu that autoruns (they grey out once you've installed them).

    Core 2 Duo shows up as single CPU

    Hey guys I have a weird problem... when I first installed Windows XP, my new E6300 appeared as 2 CPUs in Windows XP. Since then, I have formatted and reinstalled for an unrelated reason, but now my C2D appears as a single CPU. I am concerned that I am not taking advantage of the second core...

    ASRock 775Dual-VSTA

    Awesome, thanks for the reply Gary! I have an old S754 Athlon 64 2800+ with 1GB of DDR400 and a recently-acquired 6600GT OC. I am looking to reuse the video card for sure but I have been leaning towards getting a value 2GB kit of DDR2667 to replace my old RAM if there is a worthwhile difference...

    I know this board supports both DDR and DDR2, but is it possible to run a Conroe with regular DDR400 that I already have?

    Installed new nvidia beta video drivers

    Hey, when I started up HL2: Ep1 for the first time Steam warned me that my graphics drivers were out of date. So before my next session I decided to update to the latest (beta) drivers from nvidia. Now when I boot up in Windows, my screen goes dark (like in sleep mode or something) I hear...

    Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter (made by Buffalo)

    Nodoby on these boards has the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter and a wireless-enabled laptop?

    Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter (made by Buffalo)

    It's not just a question of money. I would rather use the adapter and not have to use a router for my PC (I have had problems with disconnections in the past when playing online games).

    Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter (made by Buffalo)

    Yes it does, and I want to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter as an access point to avoid buying a router if that's possible. The adapter doesn't give the DS wireless capability, it allows the DS to use the internet connection from the PC that the adapter is currently plugged into.

    Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter (made by Buffalo)

    Hey guys, I will be purchasing a Macbook Pro in the near future. I was wondering if I will be able to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi USB adapter (originally purchased for my DS) to connect to the internet wirelessly with the laptop?

    AGP card to go with Sempron 3000?

    Yeah, this whole low exchange rate thing is still weird to me... I remember it used to be like 50-60% and I would see something advertised online for what I thought was cheap until I realized it was in USD. For example: a 150$ USD video card would have ended up costing almost $300 CDN with...

    AGP card to go with Sempron 3000?

    I was giving a ballpark figure, so $250 US or CDN doesn't really make that much of a difference these days (the current exchange rate is about 15%). I think he would like to game at a minimum of 1024 at medium quality settings with acceptable performance.

    AGP card to go with Sempron 3000?

    Nice article nemesis, looks like he will see a nice boost over his current setup by going with a 6600GT. Hopefully the fact the he is still on the old socket A (as opposed to 754 in this article) will not negatively affect performance too much. I guess I will try to find the best deal on a...

    AGP card to go with Sempron 3000?

    I guess, like most of us he wants to get the most bang for his buck. I would say he would not spend more than say... $250. He is an occasional gamer, been playing F.E.A.R. and Battlefield 2 at lower resolutions and quality settings right now. I'm sure he would like to turn that up a notch or...

    AGP card to go with Sempron 3000?

    Hey, my friend doesn't have a whole lot of money but he wants to upgrade his Radeon 9600. He currently is running a Sempron 3000 CPU with a gig of RAM, which AGP card do you think would best suit the rest of his current system? I am thinking an X700 might be enough, but I think he might be...

    Need cheap video card for older computer.

    I just replaced my Radeon 9600 Pro (built by ATI) with this 6600GT . Sounds like my old 9600 might be a good card for you :)

    AGP battle: 6600GT vs. X800GTO vs. 6800XT, etc...

    At $160, that card is a damn good bargain... but looks like I have to pull the trigger on that today! The fine print says: Valid when bought between 2005-12-01 and 2005-12-31. This rebate must be postmarked by 2006-01-31.

    Upgrade dilemma

    Definitely sounds interesting. I actually recommended the 6600GT to a friend of mine when he upgraded his video card recently and he has been very satisfied.

    Upgrade dilemma

    Well, I don't have a set budget yet. I will have to save up for this upgrade regardless. I guess I would like to hit the sweet spot for price/performance on my current rig. I wouldn't want to spend $300-400 on a card that will be useless when I upgrade to PCI-Express in a year or two.

    Upgrade dilemma

    Last year I bought an Athlon 64 2800+, an Abit KV8 Pro and 1GB of Kingston Value RAM and I decided to stick with my old 9600 Pro thinking I could just upgrade that next. Now that it has started showing its age in games like Battlefield 2 and especially F.E.A.R., I find that my options are rather...

    AGP cards...

    I bought my new system a little over a year ago and decided to stick with an AGP motherboard since I was still satisfied with the performance of my Radeon 9600 Pro (which was about a year old itself by then). I recently was asked to build a new workstation for the company I work for and...
