What would be the best way to overclock for cheap? If I used electrical tape and industrial grade plastic i could cover the entire motherboard, cable connections, hard drives, etc. and run it in a bathtub. Also, I have -10 degree 2% humidity right outside my room to work with. What would be...

I am trying to decide how to upgrade. Are dual-processors really going to be that big of a deal in future games? I've heard right now they make virtually no difference. I am basically hoping that I can make a pc that will play most of the titles for the next 2 or 3 years. It seems to me if...

As always, I have no idea what I'm talking about. When you are in 320x200 mode (which computers start in), to put letters or text on the screen, you put their ascii value into the video card's memory. So if you are getting lots of garbled letters, that means there are values in there for some...

So now you have an extra case and power supply and some extra ram?

This might sound stupid, but it could be the power supply. With my old ps, the fans ran, the lights lit up, and the cd drive even spun, but it couldn't start. I put in a new power supply and it works just fine. If everything is hooked up correctly, it could be that its too weak of a power...

It is good to warm up your car in places like Alaska or Utah, but most people use external heaters rather than run the car. Maybe he was talking about cold climates?

How do I find out if I can upgrade the cpu on my laptop?

Do they make laptop memory faster than 533 mhz and is it just like upgrading desktop memory? Can you upgrade processors in laptops? Like, say, from a Celeron M to a Pentium M? I did this in my desktop in the reverse, which makes me wonder... also NewEgg sells a 2 ghz one for 250 dollars, and...

I did a google search and came up with a post that was talking about this problem, but was completely unhelpful. It did say that there were problems posted all over this forum. Dell Forum The solution in one was: "Try setting the power schemes to always on and set to turn off monitor to...

My theory is that everyone on thsi board likes technology. "Muscle cars" are on the low end of the technology scale since they just use enormous engines to get output. Contrast that to an NSX S-Zero 12 second quarter mile 4,1 second 0-60 375hp 326ft/lb torque All out of a...

Aren't they too slow for games? Should I stick with CRT or will going to LCD work just fine?

What order do they go in? What Nvidia is comparable to what ATI?

So the computer actually works now? " Now i can restart the computer and it all comes back up fine"

Ever since posting this, I've noticed how bad my sound really is. I am going to get a sound card now, but it would seem pointless unless I got some good headphones. Where would I find information about what features headphones have? I want, like, noise cancelling surround sound headphones.

I finally got it to boot. It loads the screen and says some strange stuff. Main Processor: Intel Pentium(R) 4 1.80GHZ(100x18.0) ...memory is ok CPU Brand Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 1.80GHZ ...hard drive stuff CPU is unworkable or has been changed. Please recheck CPU SOFT MENU...

Why sound cards? Is it really worth 100s of dollars and what does it do? Most motherboards are equipped with 5.1 surround sound, aren't they?

Honda NSX S-Zero 12 second quarter miles and ultimate luxury for 100 grand isn't a bad deal

How much better is it than DDR2 or even DDR? If the GPU runs at 400mhz or 550mhz, how much good does it really do to have ram running at 1000mhz? The cpu might run faster than that, but I don't imagine the data transfer from the cpu is that big of a factor.

I've read this everywhere. Just because you have two processors, it doesn't mean things will run twice as fast. It's like saying you have 2 cars with 300 hp and it's the equivalent of one car with 600hp. Another car with 310 hp will still beat you (all else being equal). Some programs take...

Thanks, I'll do that first. Somewhere in the back of my mind I know I was thinking about that.
