Is there any reason why I can't seem to transfer files through AOL Instant Messenger from my 32bit Vista Ultimate laptop to my 64bit Vista Business desktop? I backed some files up on my laptop before installing Vista64 on my desktop and now that I want to transfer those files back on to my...

So I was able to secure a corporate cd-key from my office. The copy of Business Vista64 I had produced an error multiple times. So I asked a friend who had Business Vista64 to burn me a copy of his disc which he got from school. Everything went as planned, booted from the disc, program's...

Does it matter which processor you have in determining what saves the most power? B/c I got a laptop with dual core but will getting a laptop that is Core 2 Duo actually help me get better batter life off a single charge?

Okay, so OEM versions you can only install on 1 computer, I get that. Does that mean once you install the OEM OS on a computer you can't install it on another one or does it just mean your not "suppose" too install it?

Hey Guys, I have the 8800GTS 512MB(G92) card. The specifications on this card state that the memory clock should be at 1940Mhz. When I use Everest and GPU-Z, it states my memory clock is at 972Mhz. Can someone tell me how I can raise this to the proper level. Thank you.

I'm considering purchasing the Vista Home Premium x64 edition. My question is what makes the OEM version different from retail? I've been reading the forums and it says that once you install it on 1 machine you can't install it on another one? Is this because of legal reasons or the software...

Hey guys so currently my rig located in my signature is(everything is stock settings): E8400 @ 3.0Ghz 2GB G.Skill DDR2-800 RAM 8800GTS 512MB G92 250GB Barracuda 7200.10 20in Samsung 204BW Widescreen LCD As the topic states, should I be able to play CoD4 on max settings at the native...

So I recently built a new rig and its components can be seen in my sig. My question is that recently, when I play CoD4 sometimes the game stutters. I'm using the onboard sound and was wondering if maybe its the sound chip thats making it stutter since it can't process all the sounds. Does...

Hey guys, got a small but annoying problem. I usually dock my AIM window on the right side and when I alt tab or close a program such as Warcraft3 or Call of Duty 4 it always appears in the middle or close to the middle of the screen. I'm not sure why its doing that. My friend said maybe it's...

Right now I have 2GB's of RAM running in dual channel mode. I have no intention of going to vista64 at the moment. I was considering get 1GB more, 2x512MB. Will I see a dramatic improvement by getting the extra RAM or is it just negligible?

Hey guys, I'm currently using the onboard sound from my Gigabyte P35-DS3L board. I have the Logitech Z-680 5.1 speakers. I can't seem to get surround sound from streaming sites such as YouTube. When I had my Audigy Card this wasn't a problem. Some movies in Windows Media Player don't seem to...

I'm currently using my onboard sound provided by the Gigabyte P35-DS3L board. I have the Logitech Z-680 5.1 speakers. My problem is that when using Windows Media Player or Winamp my computer utilizes all 5 speakers. But when using streaming sites such a Youtube it only used the Front Left...

Anyone know where I can purchase extra modular cables for the Corsair 520HX?

Hello all, so yesterday I got around to assembling my new computer. Pretty happy with it, you can see the spec in my sig. Quick question though. I have not overclocked anything and have kept everything stock. When I use CPU-Z to check the SPD for Memory the timings and FSB are different...

Hey guys, thought I'd start a thread for the community that might be interested in which E8400 chips are accurately reporting their temps and are better at overclocking. While I do realize that overclocking chips are hit or miss it doesn't hurt to consider that a good batch of chips might be...

Any of you guys that own a Gigabyte P35-DS3L also own a evga 8800GTS? I ask because I want to know if this card will fit into this motherboard? Seems like theres a heatsink at the end of the PCI-E slot that might cause some issues.

Hello all. I'm probably gonna purchase an E4500 right now to hold me over until I can get a Q6600. I already have 4GB's of DDR2-800 RAM. In order to run a 1:1 ratio I would need overclock the E4500 FSB to 400mhz and reduce the multiplier from 11 to 8. Heck, I wouldn't mind reducing it to 7...

Hey guys I'm building a new system and it will have 4GB's of RAM. So that means I'll be using a 64bit OS. I currently have XP64 which I never used but will give it a try. I can't upgrade to Vista at the current moment due to most of the money I have going to the system. I was just wondering...

Hey guys, so in approximately 2 weeks I'm gonna be ordering these parts to build my new computer. This new computer will be used for gaming(CoD4, BF2142, CS:S, TF2, WoW and hopefully SC2 when it comes out), internet browsing, music playing and some minor graphics editing. I've done my research...

So I'm getting the Gigabyte P35 DS3L mobo. I read somewhere on the forum if you are to run 2GB of RAM you should get 2x1gb ram sticks for optimal performance? Correct? If this is the case and I want to run 3gb's of ram what is the optimal setup? This motherboard has 4 RAM slots for 2 dual...

Are Thermaltake PSU's good, reliable and generally worthwhile getting? It seems alot of people on this forum like the Corsair PSU's. I chose the Thermaltake 500W PSU because it was alot cheaper then the Corsair 520 PSU. Just wanted to know what the experts think?

Well after my vacation trip to visit my girlfriend I can no longer build the system that I wanted. I kinda had to go budget somewhat. Wanted to keep it under $1000 but still have a system that I could upgrade down the line. DVD: LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe Black SATA...

I heard from a friend who uses an ATI card that due to some patch that he wasn't able to play Battlefield 2142. I'm considering purchasing a x1950Pro (AGP version)to hold me over till I can completely rehaul my system. Can anyone tell me whats the situation with that?

I really want to get an Antec900 for my next case because not only does it look really good but the Air Cooling potential is a big plus in my books. My main concern is that I did notice is that the PSU would be at the bottom and most motherboards seem to have the Motherboard power connection at...

Hey guys, I have an aging AGP system with an xfx 6600GT card. I will not be able to upgrade my whole system from ground up until next year as I'm spending 3G's on going to Korea to visit my girlfriend in October. =) My question as the title suggest is it worth upgrading to a 7600GT card from a...

Instead of just upgrading my video card I decided to build a whole new system! :) This is the 3rd time I'm building one and its been a while so any suggestions are appreciated: Processor: Core2Duo 6400 2.13ghz Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 Videocard: Nvidia 8800GTS (haven't decided from...

I'm thinking of building a new system using the GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 motherboard. I have no intentions of overclocking or modding anything. If this is the case, will there be the cold boot problems? I just want a fast and rock solid reliable machine. Thanks.

I was just wondering if an Xbox360 will run on a Samsung 204bw? If so, is it the VGA cable I need to get and connect it to the monitor directly? Thanks for your help.

Note, the native resolution is 720p, but it also supports 1080i via downconversion. Got this tidbit from this deal that Philips is offering on a TV: Philips Store has 42 in Pixel Plus LCD Flat HDTV (1080i/720p, 1366x768) with integrated tuner for $1250 - 10% coupon PHILIPSHIDEF-2007 = $1125...

I have posted before that I can't seem the adjust either the size(how long or tall it is) or the placement(horizontaly or verticaly) of the viewing screen on my LCD monitor. I called Samsung today and they said that it's b/c i'm using a DVI line and that it won't let me access certain...

I was wondering how you find out what the core clock and the memory clock speed of your video card? Is it listed in the BIOS and if so, where? Or do you need to download a separate program to find out that information? I have a 6000gt and am thinking of getting a Leadtek 7600gt but some ppl...

Hey guys I recently bought a Samsung 204bw. I can't seem to either expand or shrink the viewing area of the screen. I can't even move the screen vertically or horizontally. Is this normal for widescreen LCD's because at work(its an LCD but not widescreen) I am able to adjust the screen to...

p4 2.4ghz 1g ram 380 watt psu I currently have a 6600GT and it works fine. I have 2 fans in the case as well, one to bring in air from the bottom one to get it out at the rear. If my system can't support the x1950 do you guys think it can support a 7600GT by nvidia? Any and all...

Hey guys, I have the above mentioned monitor. I was wondering if you were able to adjust the position of the viewing screen on your monitors. I can't seem to move the viewing screen up and down or left and right? I don't even think i can shrink the screen that I'm viewing. Is this normal...

Hey Guys, I just recently purchased BF2142. Unfortunately I have a 6600GT and well quite frankly things get choppy when there's a huge battle going on. On top of that everything is set to the lowest settings! I was wondering if some 7600GT owners could post some replies about what settings...

Hello forum, I am a relatively new LCD monitor owner. I recently purchased the Samsung 204bw to upgrade my old 19in CRT. I usually kept my CRT montior on and rarely turned it off. I just had it run on screen saver and somtimes have it turn itself off in like 20 mins. Is it good for LCD...
