    I've been out of the PC loop for a while because I bought a laptop as my last machine (before that I built a AMD 2400+XP and Radeon 9500Pro that were mid range, so thats how long I've been away). Well I'm sick of burning laps and touchpads so I'm building a new desktop. I'm going with either...

    New Gateway or Outlet Dell?

    I'm looking for a general use laptop in the $600-800 price range. I've sorta narrowed it down to two options either a new Gateway from Best Buy for $700 or a refurbished / scratch & dent Dell for about $750. They are nearly identical, but the differences are: Dell has a 5400 RPM SATA...

    Which AGP card should I get to avoid a bottleneck

    My 9500 Pro is dying, and I need something to replace it. The 9500Pro works pretty good on all the games I play, so I'm not looking for the most expensive AGP card out there. I would like something better than the 9500Pro, but less than $100. The system is XP 2400+ A7N8X Deluxe 1GB...

    I've been using my 9500 Pro for almost 4 years now, but I'm starting to get some weird problems with my PC and all signs are pointing to the videocard. Right now I can play BF2 and Guild Wars which is all I'm really playing as of now. I want to replace my 9500Pro with something that is as...

    I have a HP Pavilion m90 (19" CRT) that I got with a computer I bought new in late 1999 or early 2000.

    These loud fans are getting on my nerves....

    I have two Sunon 80mm fans in my case, they've been great fans the past 3 years, but they're just too loud now that I've reduced some other noisemakers in my room. I know the Papst fans from QuietPC are supposed to be the most quiet, but do they move enough air compared to these Sunons that...

    Legalities of multiple Windows installs?

    I bought a Windows XP OEM disc a few years ago when I built this computer, and now that it's almost time to build a new one, I keep hating that I'll have to buy the same software AGAIN. People keep telling me that Microsoft doesn't seem to mind as long as you don't sell the computers or install...

    Using HDTV as my only PC display?

    In the past I've wanted (and at times needed) a computer in my room, but size has always been a restraint, I don't have room for a desk or a monitor and my TV. So, I'm going to be buying a 30" widescreen HDTV (1080i and 480p). I don't really want any TiVo functions since I have basic cable...

    First off, 3 people use this computer, I'm constantly cleaning off spyware that seems to appear when some people are left in the house alone if you know what I'm saying. The computer (Athlon XP 2400, WinXP Home reformatted 2-3 months ago, 1gb of RAM, 120gb Western Digital Caviar) started going...

    I had been using Asus PCProbe for temperature monitoring on my Asus A7N8X Deluxe and the temps had been alright..not low, but not dangerously high. But after reformatting I switched to Motherboard Monitor 5 and found out my CPU diode is really 58-61C at IDLE(!) and 70-75C after playing...

    CPU temperature monitor?

    I had Asus PCProbe on my PC before I reformatted, but it was always giving me false readings and popping up in the middle of my games and making me exit the game and close it. I downloaded Motherboard Monitor and it's giving me some really high readings. Case 48c, CPU Diode 59c at idle, and...

    I just reformatted and installed Windows XP Home, so I decided to install Battlefield Vietnam again. I installed it, installed the 1.2 patch, everything went fine. Then I tried to play it, and as soon as I click the icon to play it, it says "Loading Error- Could Not Find Fingerprint!" I'm...

    Optimizing a new windows install? (Lite version)

    I know I've heard of Black Viper and Tweak Guides Windows optimization guides, but I'm just looking for the very bare bones, simple, "duh" type things that can be quick clicked on and off. Like I've noticed after reinstalling windows some of the boxes come up slowly and "fade" in. Like when...

    Cannot access Adaware, AVG, or other antivirus sites!

    Alright, I can't get to most websites that have to do with anti-virus or anti-spyware. I ran Adaware, it found 18 objects, I cleaned them out, cleaned my cookies and temp. internet files. I ran AVG and it blew right past it and didn't find anything. Searching around I heard the Sasser worm...

    9500Pro versus 6600 GT

    Right now I have a 9500 Pro, 512mb of RAM, and a XP 2400+. Would I be better off buying another 512 mb of RAM or upgrading to a 6600GT? Obviously the RAM would be much cheaper, and I'm not really a graphics whore, I just want to try out Counter Strike Source and 99.9% of my reason for...

    Upgrade or build a new PC?

    Well, with the Battlefield 2 release date fast approaching, and me missing out on Half Life 2/Counter Strike Source, I realize I either need to build a new computer or upgrade. So, I can either build a pc with this stuff, or just buy the Memory, 6600GT, and the DVD-RW for $320. AMD 64 2800+...

    Dual channel memory, or just MORE memory.

    It's time for me to upgrade memory. Currently I have 2 sticks of 256mb in my Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo. 512 mb really doesn't cut it using Photoshop and BFV. I'm going to buy a 512mb stick, but should I use one 512 and 1 256 (768mb total) and use Dual Channel or put all 3 sticks in and have 1gb...
