I'm gonna dowload and try out the new RC2 version of vista. Should I use the 32-bit or the 64-bit version? I don't quite understand the difference yet.

I partitioned my disk into 2 100Gb partitions, C: and D: drives. I loaded all my games onto the second partition, Drive D:. The problem is, my desktop shortcuts will lose their connection sometimes and I will have to make new ones. Not only that, but when I try to apply certain game patches, it...

where is a good place to dowload motherboard moniter software, already tried Motherboard Monitor 5, but made my system crash. I don't think that it supports AM2 (which is what mine is) boards yet. Also I need software to monitor my nVidia GFX card, anything good for that?

Well almost all of it. I got the tower and all its hardware components. Just need the monitor, keyboard, and mouse then I'm set. For anyone thinking of building their own, it's alot easier than you would think. And even being a noob of overclocking, I got my Athlon 3500+ to easily hit...

I thought that the answer would be "everything". I have everything needed inside my new rig besides the processor. I turned her on and all the lights and fans came on. I heard my HD start spinning, and two of my mobo LEDs came on. My video card fan kicked on too. But I hit the eject button on my...

I already knew it wouldn't work, but I tried copying all of the contents from a game CD to a blank CD. Gues what, no workey! Is there any way to burn a copy of a game CD where the computer will actually recognize the CD?

I was debating between the Athlon 64 3500+ and the 3800+ X2. Now I know that the X2 is the better CPU, but will I tell that much of a difference if I mostly use this thing for gaming?? Its like a $70 price diff. My Hardware: DFI Ifinity Mobo Jaton 7900gt WD Caviar 200GB Samsung...

Do I need the DVD/CD Audio cable that goes from the DVD Drive to the mobo? Sorry, noob question, but I didn't think about it.:doh:

I think Ive figured most of it out, besides the power LED. It has three connections on the mobo: two positive and one negative(standby signal) according to the manual. My front panel only has one positive and one negative though, so which positive mobo connector do I use? Also with the...

I know CRT's are usuallly better for gaming, but will I be pleased with an LCD with an 8ms or lower response time? Sorry, I tried searching, but nothing.

I'm really wanting the DFI Infinity because of overclocking ability, but it has the nforce4 chipset, and this will be a gaming machine. Are the nforce 550's and 570's noticably better or would i be happy with the nforce 4. It's either the Infinity board or the ABIT KN9S board. Here are links to...

I'm trying to decide on which card to get, the ATI X1900GT or the X1800XT??? Its confusing because some 1800's perform better than 1900's so I'm stuck. I start getting confused with all the suffixes-GT, XT, XTX, XL, bla bla bla. Here are the two I was considering, even though I'm leaning...

I'm going to have one 120mm intake fan in the rear, which rates at 80 cfm. And I will have 3 80mm exhaust fans, which, combined will have around 83 cfm. Is it correct to calculate it this way and will the 3 cfm make it too uneven(I wouldnt think it would.) Also, I'm gonna have the 120mm...

There's so many different ones with all different reviews. I've been searching for one for a while, but just can't decide. Specifics would be appreciated. I don't need SLI, but I want at least 1 pci-e x16 slot. I wanna go Socket 939 also. I'm most likely not gonna overclock, at least for a...

Can I tell what socket my CPU is without taking it out?? I have a Celeron 2.8Ghz and I want a better processor, I need to know the socket but I dont want to have to take the cpu out. Thanks in advance.

How do you find out how many FPS you are getting? I seen a screenshot of Oblivion somewhere and it had a display to show how many FPS there were.

I am thinking about getting one of these two cards and most of their benchmark results are close so I just wanted some educated opinions from you guys. BTW: I'll be playing mostly FPS games (BF2, CoD2, Quake 4, etc.) Thanks

AMD 3500+ prossesors Do you guys know if the new Battlefield 2142 will be DX10? I was watching a demo on it and the graphics are amazing. I hope that the system I'm gonna build will be enough for most upcoming games.
