I'm ordering a new system for college, and I've been pressured into getting a system from Dell for reasons that would be useless to elaborate on. However, as I've been out of the Hardware market for a while, I'm unsure about what choices to make. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Please keep in...
I've considering getting a new Dell monitor (whichs does not seem to be uncommon, given all the 2405FPW and 2005FPW threads floating around).
I considererd the 2005FPW, but i'm not sure i want it just because i don't want to have to tweak some games to get a good resolution.

I just installed the Battlefield 2 demo yesterday, when it told me to install these new drivers. They were 77.30, which i noted was a big jump from the current non-beta drivers. I had been using some old 67 drivers because i was comfortable with them and because i heard some problems with the...

I know it's not really important, but I always thought that the internal speaker was neat. Never

Tomorrow im gonna replace the SB Live Value that came with my Dell with my spiffy new Audigy 2 zs platinum. Before i install the new drivers (And driver updates, and registry update, and bios updates--not kidding on any) i need to remove the old stuff. I know i've prolly

Just some thoughts on a lot of stuff here....
Always see a lot of posts saying something like, "Why did my video card break" or "Why wont they RMA it" or "Why wont it overclock more?"
They key is that, despite what they can do, video cards arent really designed around overclocking...
