I really don't care about high performance or heat spreaders. I just want RAM that works in the wife's Dell, and the cheaper the better. Looking to spend around $30 shipped. Preferably a name brand RAM, at least, with my favorite being G.SKILL.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104069&cm_re=fsp_500-_-17-104-069-_-Product I have a FSP 500W power supply that I bought from newegg a few months ago, but never got around to using it. It is brand new, still shrinkwrapped. Newegg is currently selling it for $59.99 +...

My Gigabyte motherboard died several months ago after only 6 months of use, and I'm having a difficult time finding a decent motherboard that supports my DDR2-1066 RAM anymore since they all seem to have moved on to only supporting DDR3. I'm basically looking for a standard ATX with at least...

Closed. Bought a 5550. Thanks

I was going to upgrade a cheap PC to the Phenom X4 965, but that was until I saw that the new X6's work on some AM2 boards. Are there any reports of the Phenom II X6 working on the Dell F896N, a motherboard for the Inspiron 546?

eBay (264) GameTZ (90) Heat (2, only because I just now started selling/buying on [H]) I have an Athlon II X4 620 at the moment for my wife. She is a video editor that uses Sony Vegas 8. I want to someday trade her up to a Phenom II X4 965 125W. I don't know if her motherboard can handle...

I had an HD3850 for a while, but could no longer stand it anymore because the thing was ****ing huge. It was 9.5" and took up two Hard Drive slots. I downgraded to a 7" X800 just now. I'm trying to look for a new video card that has similar dimensions, but half the cards on newegg list their...

Notice: The previous topic was locked by me and is no longer active. I am no longer SELLING my item, so I'm sorry to all those interested in purchasing the CPU. *NEW!* I also have a Radeon HD3850 512MB video card that I'm looking to trade for a video card that is under 8 inches. This is also...

closing because stupid title can't be edited fully. BS

Hello, The Dell Inspiron 546 in my signature below currently has Windows 7 Home Vista Premium x64 installed with 4GB of RAM. It has been proven through benchmarks in the programs that I specifically use that I will see a benefit in rendering large video files if I have more RAM. There was one...

I have a new Dell coming in that has an HD 4350 already installed. Is it better or worse than my X800 Pro?

PM me with price/trade offers for your Athlon II X4 or Phenom II X4 AM3 CPU. Anything from the Athlon II X4 620 to the Phenom II X4 965. Here's what I have to trade: PC Parts Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8 GHz (OC'ed to 3.1 GHz stable on a cheap setup, I'm sure it could go further with a better...

I'd been looking to build a cheap Athlon II X4 630 box with my old DDR2 RAM with the thought of upgrading to a new AM3 processor in 2010, and just when I was about to start buying a Foxconn A7GM-S 2.0 AM2+/AM3 motherboard, I was told that the upcoming six-core processors will not use DDR2 RAM...

I'm building a low budget video & 3D editing/rendering box for the wife, and have read some things that the Athlon II X4 620 is a terrible overclocker while the 630 can potentially easily overclock over 1 GHz on air. I haven't found the difference between the two processors other than clock...

Hello, I'm a relative amateur at overclocking processors, but I have had success in the past with overclocking my Intel processors. I've been attempting to overclock my Q9400, but cannot get over a barrier of 3.7 GHz. I've upped the stock voltage to 1.4, and I don't feel comfortable with...

My motherboard recently died, so I had to get a new one, the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R. While putting my PC back together I also put in a new video card, an ATi HD 3850 512MB. After reinstalling Windows and my video drivers, now I have this weird problem where sometimes a video freezes in fullscreen...

When I upgrade my computer, I'm interested in potentially getting a Samsung 2233rz 120Hz LCD monitor. I've seen large 120Hz televisions in stores and notice the movement and action to be a lot more fluid since it doesn't have to drop any frames on a 24 fps film. I intend to buy a Blu-Ray...

I have a video capture device that has been discontinued. It has no Vista support, but it works in XP. Windows 7 has been talking about an "XP Mode". Will this allow hardware with outdated drivers to work on Windows 7?

Now that I have a HDCP Ati HD3850 and a HDCP Asus H233H monitor, is there ANY software that can play HD-DVD movies? After replacing my motherboard, I'm thinking of maybe attempting to install my cheap HD-DVD ROM drive again so I can attempt to watch me some Clerks II. Last time I hooked up an...

Non-overclocked as well as overclocked to 3.5 GHz. Thanks--

I'm a video editor that's going to be traveling a lot next year. I want to keep editing on my laptop when I travel, but all QXXXX and i7 laptops I've found have been $1,500 and up. The i7s are over $3,000. Is there any chance of having a sub-$1,000 i7 laptop in 2010, or should I just give up...

I haven't looked into upgrading my PC for at least two years, so I've got some big questions before I go blowing my cash on a potential nightmare. It seems like every time I buy an intel board, it immediately becomes obsolete the second the next set of processors come out. I bought a...

Hi, I was about set to buy a Canon HF100 or something like it, but all reviews I see from these popular camcorders have issues with lowlight. My apartment is the worst in the world for light, no matter how many clamp lights I use. I'm not about to blow $500-$1000 on a camcorder that doesn't...

I assumed it would be HDMI Male to DVI Female, but since I'm new at this, I don't want to screw it up and get the wrong cable. Sites seem to be bombarding the male to male combo at me, so I'm not sure which one is right. Thanks--

Hello, I'm new at all this. My E228WFP can do, presumably, 720p and has a DVI port. Would I see any significant jump in visual quality if I hooked up a upscaling DVD player, PS3, or XBOX 360 to this 22" LCD, rather than my at least decade old 27" SDTV? Also, would they work fine on the...

For Augmented Reality testing only. This isn't for chatting or vlogging. Example I've never bought a webcam before, but I need one as I'm starting to learn a developing technology. I preferrably need one with 60fps, clear video, and a decent resolution. Now, if I could find some way to...

I bought this headset yesterday, and the first time I used it, the recording quality was clear (for the most part) and sounded very good. A few hours later, I tried to record again, and it sounded like drowned out crap. I tried to change every setting imaginable, unplug it, plug it back in...

I currently have a $10 Logitech microphone that can get the job done, but it's far, far too quiet and a hassle to deal with. Looking at the reviews on newegg, Logitech screwed everyone else on that as well. I've done my best to fix it, but it's just a no go. The thing was made to be way too...

I have an Asus board that monitors temperatures and fan speeds, and it seems to think that if the Power Supply RPM drops below 1000 RPM, there's serious problems. Is the thing right, or what? The CPU RPM is allegedly a consistent 2657 RPM. Thanks--

Just making sure, since any and every product description I've seen likes to imply that you can only write with a camcorder. New to using smaller discs, haven't bought them yet. Thanks--

Hi, I'm getting horribly grainy effects on the ZR600, which is apparently a notorious drawback, and I was hoping I could buy a reliable 3rd party accessory or some better indoor lighting to help alleviate this problem. I'll be doing video along with freezeframes, and I also have a large...

Nevermind, fixed, please close

Some easy questions for newbies like myself. Are the tapes rewritable? If so, is there a loss in quality if you record over the previous footage, like the ol' VHS tapes? Thanks--

Nevermind, my pain medicine wore off and I can think again.

I am an absolute newbie when it comes to ANYTHING HD. The Dell website insinuates that I can watch HD TV and videos on this monitor if I have the proper equipment, whatever that me be. Are they pulling my leg, or can I really watch HD on this lunker? If so, * What do I need to buy? I don't...

Hooray for codec BS. I've installed K-Lite FULL codec pack, as well as DivX, but ANY .AVI file I put into Vegas only loads the Audio track, while saying the Video track is offline. I load the exact same file into Vegas on another PC and there is no problems whatsoever. Solutions? I mean, this...

I know they're based off Allendale and all, but I'm just making sure they're not Pentium D's all over again. Cache be damned, I want one of these things.

Unless I'm missing something, dosbox emulates a POS 16MHz box. Sure, that's great for 1980s-1990, but for 1991-1996, I'm screwed. Games like Tyrian run like ass on DOSBox for me. Now, my grandfather had a 100MHz machine that, whenever RAM wasn't an issue, played any and every game like a champ...

With XP running. In other words, I boot up Windows XP on my old 160GB IDE HD. I put in the Windows XP install disc. Can I install it to my new SATA hard drive, then change the boot order in my BIOS to boot from the SATA drive? My DVD drive is acting up and won't do bootable CDs and junk...

Final update. NEC drive updated with custom firmware to remove the intentionally crippling Rip-Lock crud that's installed.
