Since this computer will be for school meaning you don't need it immediately, I highly suggest waiting for Intel's new Conroe processor to be released in July. It is being hyped up as a huge release and supposedly a 2.66ghz Conroe (the highest one I think its 2.93ghz) can beat an AMD Athlon...

I would suggest not getting a Pentium 4, but switching to Athlon 64. AMD just came out with it's new socket AM2 and I would suggest getting that. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103633 You can get that Socket AM2 Athlon 64 3500+ for just $120. I'm not sure which...

Figures. Well I still suggest the X1800GTO then. It can give you HDR in Oblivion which the X850XT can't do. Also, with ATi cards using the "Chuck patch" drivers you can run AA and HDR together in Oblivion. Normally you could not, and there is no such patch available to enable it with Nvidia...

If you can find an X1800XT for that price, take it because it's a steal. The performance would be great, and it is better than an X1800XL. It's pretty much at the level of a 7900GT.

Well if you want to play Oblivion with all the eye candy turned on, I highly suggest getting an X1800GTO instead. It supports SM 3.0 and can therefore run HDR in Oblivion. I think you'll want to have the HDR in Oblivion, as imo it makes the game's graphics. You should be able to find it at...

Yeah I guess I'll check the cables today, I don't think its Windows just because BIOS can't detect them either, so I think it must be a bigger problem than just a Windows error.

Both of my CD drives have disappeared from Windows. I went into device manager and there are no drives listed there, only my 2 hdd's. Also, when the computer boots, it reads both hdd's but then just stays on that screen without starting to Windows, and the cd drives (They should be secondary...

Ok I was able to get it working fine, it's got the dual boot thing set up so it's fine. Vista looks nice so far, only problem is I can't get the internet working. It's telling me when it scans for networking hardware devices that it can't find any. In XP it lists the device I'm using as one made...

I have 2 hard drives on my comp, one of which has XP on it and the other is a 60GB drive that I have used to install a few games on. I would like to install Vista on the 60GB drive and be able to dual boot between Vista and XP. I know that I have to make a partition on the drive, probably just...

It sounds to me like the fan is broken or something and will not work again. If you want to keep your x800 I would suggest buying a replacement fan for it ASAP. I would suggest an Arctic Cooling VGA Silencer they are very nice and will cool the card far better than any stock cooler.

Well I don't care about absolute perfect, audiophile satisfying sound. I just wanted to make sure the onboard sound didn't do anything like crackle or make the signal really bad if it couldn't handle more powerful speakers. I've never had 5.1, I'm not even using 2.1 at the moment, just 2 little...

There's also an excellent free program you can use called Videora or Videodora, I can't quite remember.

Yeah I knew the onboard would affect performance in games, but my pc's pretty good and I've never had a dedicated sound card so I'm used to it. It is Realtek. I just wanted to know if the sound would be bad because of it, I'm glad it won't.

I'm going to be getting my first 5.1 speakers, these ones: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836121118 Now my soundcard is nothing special, it's onboard sound. I wasn't planning on getting a new soundcard, but I want to make sure that the onboard sound isn't going to be...

What's his power supply? It may not be enough to support the 9800.

After doing a little research on google, I found that Cool n' Quiet reduces your processor speed and voltage (I noticed the voltage was a little low too) when full processing power is not needed, such as on your desktop.

I have noticed that when I go to the system information from My Computer that it sometimes shows my A64 3200+ as being 1.0ghz instead of 2.0ghz, and this happens a lot. It also once showed it as 1.8ghz. I have cpu-z and when I checked that, I noticed that while the program was running the...

The X5 has the radio, color screen, and video playback. I have an Iaudio X5, I love it and the sound quality is great. If you get the X5L the battery lasts a really really long time. I highly recommend it. Also you don't need to use software to transfer files, it's just detected as a usb drive...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813157081 I'm going to be getting an Athlon 64 3200+ and I picked this motherboard because it seemed like the perfect option until whenever I would get a PCI-E card. Now a lot of the reviews I read on newegg said that it was a great board...

This is Socket 478 by the way. All I need to know is which one you would recommend over the other. One's a P4C 2.6ghz 800mhz FSB. The other's a P4E (Prescott) 2.8ghz 800mh FSB, both Hyper-Threading of course. They're both in the $130range and I can't really go higher. But also if anyone knows of...
