hey guys,
I'm going to college in a few weeks, and was looking for a way to watch tv on my 19 inch LCD monitor, with VGA and DVI inputs. I'm going to be using a laptop, which only two real options are PCMCIA and USB 2.0. I was wondering if i could use this...
Hey Guys,
I have been planning on buying a tv card for my PC, and now that i also have a laptop, i was wondering if there is a way for me to have the TV go in to the PC, and then "stream" over my wireless network so i would be able to watch TV from my laptop. I hope this is clear, and it...
Hey guys,
I have a Chaintech AV710 and Logitech Z-560's. The bass is way too loud, and its turned all the way down on the control. Is there a way through windows of any third party software to adjust the volume of the sound? thanks!
Hey Guys,
I have an older 5400RPM ATA33 hard drive that i'm not using. If i hooked that up to use for page file instead of using my main hard drive, would it help performance any or would it hurt? I would also use it for photoshop/inventor scratch space. Thanks
Hey Guys,
I have a wireless network, and i'm very new to this stuff. I'll do my best to get as much information into this as i can, as i'm not really sure what you need to help me diagnose the situation.
I have this computer in my room, connected to a WRT54G router. My cable modem is...
Hey guys,
I've just built a new computer with the Nutech DVD burner recommended by anandtech, and its been good, except that in some programs it doesn't recognize my DVD player. I tried to rip a CD in CDex, and it only "sees" my image drives (i use alcohol 120 to mount images). Also i tried...

Hey Guys,
I have a 21" IBM monitor capable of 1920x1440@75hz, and normally play (if its possible) at 1600x1200 right now. One thing i noticed is that at these resolutions, i don't notice any "jaggies" like i do at 800x600, so i never run AA once i get above 1280x960. Since i will be running...
Hey Guys,
I'm looking at getting an Athlon64 pretty soon, and had a question about overclocking. I know the Athlon64 has an onboard memory controller, which gives the CPU lots of bandwidth. When i was thinking about this, it made me realize that the CPU probably doesn't need to have to...
Hey Guys,
I've been looking at power supplies and i've basically boiled it down to these three:
PCP&C Silencer 410 ATX

Hopefully it would be quiet, have good lines and be very quality

Hey guys,
I plan on getting a totally new system, and i know everything i want except for the power supply. Currently the specs are:
And unless i'm forgetting a major part, i think thats it. I will also be running a two cold cathode part, and 4 regular 80mm case fans.
There are a...
Hey guys,
No one posted in my other thread, so i'll make a new thread about it. I have an IBM P260 and it has a DVI input, and i need a DVI cable. Where can i get one?
Hey Guys,
I just got my IBM P260B monitor, and its really sweet so far. I'm running at 1600x1200 resolution at 85 hertz, and it seems really nice! Anyway i have some questions.
It seems to have some convergence issues (as it seems many big monitors have). Its not really that bad, and...
Hey guys,
Does anyone have any experience with this monitor? I am getting on for my birthday from my dad, and i didn't know hwat to expect. I saw it had DVI input, and thats really cool for a CRT. Also it supports up to 1920x1440 resolution with (i believe) 85hz. That sounds amazing, is...
Hey Guys,
I plan to be building myself a new system late this summer, and was looking at my sound options. In my room right now i have a pair of really good infinity speakers, but my stereo reciever is lacking. Its a AIWA 2 channel stereo reciever, without any special jacks, basically its...
Hey guys,
I'm learning to use C this summer and was wondering what compiler you would all recommend. I've never used one before so i really don't know what to look for. Thanks!
Hey Guys,
I was just getting started trying to have a Knoppix / XP Pro dual boot, but i'm not really sure how to set up the GRUB boot loader. I've found a 62 page manual on their site about it, but that seems really overwhelming. How hard is it to work with once you get the gist of it? I...
Hey Guys,
I've seen and heard a lot about HTPC's, but i'm not totally sure what you can do with them. Can you record TV shows? Play DVD's/CD's? Anything basically "introducing" HTPC's would help.
