Ryden, I am having a minor version of your problem. Ever since I bought a new motherboard, I will turn my PC on, and after the screen which tells you how much RAM is installed and detects all my hard drives and DVD writers and CPu info etc. it will go black screen, and the only way to fix this...

Well, what I am doing, is I am waiting till 2009-2010 before my next whole PC replacement, and hope to buy the "AMD Phenom" line of microprocessors, which some will be using DDR3, 45nm fabrication and are up to 8 cores. :offtopic: Does anybody think I will still be able to play relatively new...

just copy n paste what you want via LAN cable, that does the job for me

I'd still go for the Dell, its got DX 10 capability and therefore more "Vista ready" and future proof

Games don't require 512MB of graphics yet, and probably won't for a while, 256MB is still good, plus video RAM is mostly for when you put the resolution higher on a game, which a laptop screen won't go dead high anyway. The Dell is a better choice; its more powerful, more future proof, and has...

I agree with Seagate's being good, I have a 320GB Baracudda SATA 2 one, and its superb, the model numbers of my old dead drives were "6LMO160G" or something like that. the model on mine is and STxxxxxx, and its a relatively new 7200.10 baracudda series, its not a rebadged maxtor one is it?

i think it should have no problem running it myself...

Hi, this isn't really an "I need help post" its more of a bitching post. 4 Maxtor Diamond Max series hard drives have failed on me in the last year and a half, and is it not funny they are all the same model apart from actualy size, I have had a 160GB fail, a 200GB fail, and 2 80GBs fail. Now I...

Ah, well I have been doing reading up on the 8 Series GPu's. Now I am no expert on laptops / other mobile equipment, but in the long run, the 8700 is going to be better, because it will have direct X 10 hardware level, despite it possibly being a little less powerful than the 7800GTX - BUT only...

Hi, I am 99% sure what you are doing wrong, first find out the exact make and model for your motherboard. Secondly, find the SATA / RAID Drivers on the manufacturer's website (they often need putting to a floppy and you have to use F6 on Windows XP Installation screen to install them from floppy...

Pretty soon, 4GB will become more popular, you can already buy 2x2GB 4GB Kits, my estimate is within the next 3 years 4-8GB will be about right for gaming, personal opinion there though. This will however require a 64 Bit operating system, e.g. Windows XP x64 Pro, Vista Editions in x64, Linux...

give us more detail please, what exact processor and what graphics cards each notebook have, then we may get a little further ;)

Hi everybody, my 1st post for a little while now, here goes. For the last 5 years or so, I have been using internet connection sharing through a USB modem on the main computer with the permanent internet connection, and when my dad decides to switch it off, I rob it and use it directly on mine...

not quite, don't get the 320mb version of the 8800GTS if you are playing on a larger monitor, larger than 19" in my opinion

hmmm I think this thread has lived its life so far...

OK well due to my dad deciding to change his mind and save some cash, he ordered the 420W Thermaltake, and yea, I don't think that computer is going to get any more upgrades in the future. They will be worth replacing the whole thing instead at that rate. As long as its 100% stable and doesn't...

If I were you I would wait for nVIDIA to update their forceware software and see if you notice anything better

I am having that problem at the moment, my Dell CRT 17" is bending inwards, every so often, at least 2 times a day it does that. Hope my monitor isnt going to go boom...

Right, my dad is going to order a power supply in about 6 hours or less, will this be good enough for his system? Eclipse Computers - Product Details He will be running Athlon 64 3000+ Newcastle 754 Socket 2GHz 2 x 512mb sticks @ 333MHz GeForce 7600GS 256MB AGP - I will be overclocking...

hmmm saying that I did change the RAM to 1gb in 2 512s sticks not too long ago... maybe a month or a little more. Well anyway, I put my beastly 600w thermaltake toughpower in it, to format it ready so when I put in the new one it is ready to use with windows XP and all. It ran smooth as a nut...
