Gents, I currently sport: Intel Core-i5 750 Radeon 5850 4 gig Ram SSD I want to know if I should be considering a full system rebuild right now for next gen gaming. I am hoping I can pop a new GPU into my system and be good with that. So essentially what I am asking is if my CPU...

Monitor Bezel Management

Looking for guides about how to reduce the bezel issues with having 3 monitors. Looking for brand / models which either have very small bezel in the manufacturers frame, or if the plastic frame is removed, can be modded to have a really low bezel profile for eyefinity. If there is already a...

Parting together a computer for a buddy.

I have a friend who is looking to getting in PC gaming, he is pretty noobish and doesn't have much money to blow on a new rig. I am wondering if anyone has parts to sell so I can piece a decent rig together for him. It should be decent enough to run ARMA II, Portal, Diablo 3. Let me...

Why Do I have only 2.4 GB Ram Useable when 4 GB Intalled

Ah, I see what you are saying now. Yeah, start by digging around in BIOS and seeing what it is detecting. What kind of computer is this? A laptop? Desktop? Self-build or a whitebox producer? -muscles|

Windows XP will only recognise 3 gigs of ram. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(VS.85).aspx To fix? Get Win7. -muscles|

Gaming rig, advice needed :)

If you are going to be running that high of res. I'd go with a 5850 or 5870. Get G.Skill Ripjaw RAM. It runs at 1.5 volts instead of 1.65 (standard) and is just as fast. Running less power through your CPU will be a good thing for the long haul. -muscles|

external USB HD enclosure

Make sure to try to get a case that also supports eSATA. eSATA blows usb transfer rates out of the water. May not need it for this instance, but having it is always a good move. -muscles|

TV priorities

^ Remember, if you go with plasma, (and you prob should, considering how much better it is for motion) make sure that you read some break in guides for your model. That is a pretty important thing to do, for any plasma... Look into the set that I got (pn50b650), its a solid set, with good...

TV priorities

I got a modern plasma, and burn-in is something of the past unless you REALLY neglect the proper way to break it in and use it. If you can take the money you are going to use for a HTPC and get a bigger set, you can always opt to get a tv that is DLNA enabled. My Samsung pn50d650 has usb...
