    Help/Advice about which upgrades to buy

    I looked inside the computer and didn't see any brown slots or anything saying AVG inside. I removed a memory stick so that I could see what it said on the stick and write it down. Unfortunately, the sticks didn't say what PC-type they are. There was no PC100 or PC3200 or anything of the sort...

    Help/Advice about which upgrades to buy

    I already tried running Battlefield 2 on his computer but it wouldn't work. I went to a game support forum and was told after providing the DXDiag that the game wouldn't run specifically because the video card wasn't compatible with the game. I guess there's a very specific list of video cards...

    Help/Advice about which upgrades to buy

    Hello. I'd like to upgrade my mother's computer but I only have $200.00 to spend. Her computer is kind of old and my goal is to make it capable of running the game Battlefield 2 so that my step dad and I can play the game together a bit before I have to leave for school. I'm fairly ignorant...

    NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 upgrade

    Another quickie: Should I use more than the default (up to) 5MB of system memory for textures in PCI mode? 5MB seems a little low, so I doubled it to 10MB. What can you tell me about the use of system memory for textures in PCI mode? Sorry for all the sudden posts... please address them all...

    NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 upgrade

    Another Question (sorry for piling them up): 1) What is Anisotropic Filtering? Should I have it turned on in my OpenGL settings, since this computer is used for heavy gaming? It seems to be disabled by default. If I should have it on, then which speed should I set it on (2x,4x or 8x)?

    NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 upgrade

    I'm at the nVidia web site. I am not very used to it. Could you perhaps point out the driver/downloads that I should choose? Anyway, I'll be surfing the site...

    NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 upgrade

    "Get them from PNY or nVidia" - Wich of the two are better? Are they exactly the same (IOW, are the updates any different)? "You will need to make sure to snag the v.330 patch for 3Dmark 2001SE if you haven't already" - Is that only for benchmarking? Could you please give me update URLs...

    NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 upgrade

    I've just recently upgraded a computer with an NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 video card. Everything seemed to go smoothly, but I have three questions: 1) It says that the card is not digitally signed. When I go to the Device Manager>Display adapters>NVIDIA Geforce4 Ti 4600>Properties>Driver>...

    Help building Dream Machine 2004!

    Two words: Baseball Bat .... =P Seriously, though, I'll probably just take it apart and use my old computers as parts to play around with. I like the idea of taking them apart and putting them back together again.

    Could I run two games at the same time with duel Xeon processors? Also, could I play the same game in two different windows with duel Xeon processors? For example, could I play an MMORPG like EverQuest or World of Warcraft on two separate accounts (two separate characters) at the same time...

    The Athlon 64 system you put together looks really nice! I noticed the P4EE has the PC3200 memory listed. Does that mean that PC3200 memory can't be used for a 64-bit but it can be used for the P4EE?

    Why would duel Xeon processors be better than a single Athlon 64, Athlon FX, or P4EE? Aren't the duel processors only good for servers? Would games be able to take advantage of them?

    By the way, what happened to the fun font highlights and stuff? Didn't there used to be a store where you could purchase cool stuff with points?
