    Logitech diNovo lagging problem

    I got Logitech diNovo mouse/keyboard combo couple of weeks ago. And I've been having problem with it since the day I got it. The major problem is with the mouse. This damn mouse lags. Not all the time but frequently enough to bother me. It's not that my computer is slow. I recently upgrade...

    what are the advantages/disadvantages of a glossy screen?

    I have to agree with Oooska. Glossy screen usually looks better than nonglossy ones. Color looks much more real because the screen is brighter. However there are some disadvantages. Since it's a glossy screen, you'll see reflected images on the screen even when you turn on the monitor...

    CPU 52C too hot???

    I have Zalman CNPS7000B and I got it from newegg about a month ago with X2 3800. So they are both fairly new. I used the thermal paste that was included in Zalman. BTW how long does it take to cool down a cpu when it goes from ~25% to idle?? Because I checked cpu usage was around 25% and I...

    check my new amd64x2 3800 OC !

    How do you check cpu temperature under heavy loading?? I know BIOS gives you cpu temperature but how do you check it while you're on Windows?? Do you need some kind of software for that?

    CPU 52C too hot???

    I've been running my computer for 3 days. Nothing special, just downloading something. And I didn't do any overclocking on cpu nor on videocard, I know it's boring... ^^;; And while rebooting my computer, I checked the CPU temperature in BIOS. I don't usually turn off my computer, and maybe...

    Information On the Samsung 215TW and Pics

    I'm not so sure but I think my ps2 game may looked distorted because this samsung 215tw is not a lcd tv. Some lcd monitor is also a tv like that NEC 20WMGX2.

    Help with color calibrating the Samsung 215TW

    Dang, your post too long to read. Anyways, I just want to tell you to go for NEC 20WGX2. I became an owner of samsung 215tw recently and I'm more than happy with my lcd. However, as far as the pure picture quality go, my samsung 215tw can't compete with the NEC 20WGX2. NEC has just simply...

    Information On the Samsung 215TW and Pics

    No, I meant to say component cable, those 5 lines of cable (3 for video and 2 for audio I think). ps2 only comes with composite cable so I had to bought it separately.

    Information On the Samsung 215TW and Pics

    What connection did you use on your 215tw for XBox 360?? I connected my ps2 with component and the image quality is really bad. Is it because of ps2 doesn't support enough resolutions for the 215tw??

    Is $400 Tai-chi case worth it?

    He's not going for OC at all. As a matter of fact, he's not going to do anything to risk his cpu or videocard just to get more performance. He wants to keep his computer as long as possible without upgrading.

    Is $400 Tai-chi case worth it?

    My friend is thinking about getting thermaltaker tai-chi case which cost more than 400 dollars. He already bought x2 4800 and x1900 Crossfire. I've been kept telling him to get a decent antec case instead and save money but he wouldn't listen. Is liquid cooling that good??

    Just got Samsung 215tw...

    I got my samsung 215tw several weeks ago and I have almost no blacklight bleeding problem. Even with movie mode or custom mode with 100/100 setting, I can hardly tell if there's a blacklight bleeding. I'm reading a lot of complaints on this monitor and I guess I got really lucky. I got it...

    Beware: update Windows, BIOS before install existing your hd bigger than 137g

    Maybe everyone knows about this, but I didn't and I got screwed. I upgrade my system, and when I connected my old storage drives to the motherboard before upgrading Windows, only 137g of files were okay and the rest got corrupted. Just remember to update your Windows to sp2, and make sure your...

    problem with avi, jpeg on storage drive after system upgrade

    I think I know what happened. Well, not 100% but I'm pretty sure. I have 3 hds. 2 of them are over 137gb and I use pci controller. Only those two drives got corrupted files after the upgrade. I believe Windows XP supports hard drives over 137gb only with sp2. I connected those hds before...

    problem with avi, jpeg on storage drive after system upgrade

    I guess I didn't mention that not all files are corrupted in the same storage drive. About half of avi and jpeg files aren't corrupted. I also noticed that same movie files are either corrupted or not corrupted. For example, I have Batman Return movie split into part1 and part2 and both of them...

    problem with avi, jpeg on storage drive after system upgrade

    After the upgrade (cpu, mobo, memory, etc), some of avi and jpeg files in my storage drive doesn't work. Avi files will say codec's not supported and jpeg files just won't open. All of my avi files played perfectly well with the same codecs before the upgrade so it really shouldn't be the codecs...

    9800xt at 71C

    I just noticed that my 9800xt is at 71C degree. Is it okay for a video card to be this hot?? I heard that for cpu it's better to keep it cool under 60C.

    SATA to 4-pin PC power converter

    Is there a cable that converts SATA power to 4-pin power?? I got a Antec TPII and it doesn't have enough 4-pin power connections for my drivers. I looked at Newegg.com and other websites but can't find it.

    SATA question

    I just installed Windows on my IDE drive. I connected SATA drive on SATA1 pin but I still can't see it on Windows. How does the jumper setting works for SATA?? Where am I supposed to plug it in?? There is no picture that shows how to make master or slave on the SATA drive.

    AGP vs PCI-E Price/Performance

    Well, since you'll need a new mobo with pci-e, that's another $100. But I agree with the other guy. You'll probably need to get a new mobo with pci-e next time when you upgrade that 6800gs anyway. It's time to upgrade.
  37. C

    AGP... Go to PCI-E or 7800 GS?

    Yes, they will be fine. And you don't have to upgrade or OC your old cpu just because you got a new video card. I've even seen a guy with AMD Athlon xp 1700+ with a 7800gs.
  38. C

    Upgrading 3800+ to 4800+

    Agreed.
