    How Do I Test My Video Card?

    What's the simplest, most effective way of testing a video card? My one month old computer is equipped with an X800 XT PE video card, which has handled everything I've thrown at it. Still, the games that I've thrown at it aren't exactly cutting edge: Neverwinter Nights, The Sims 2, Thief...

    Trade - Full Spectrum Warrior Xbox for PC version.

    Last summer I crashed out on my couch and played the superb Full Spectrum Warrior on my Plasma TV - this was the only Xbox title that I actually had any fun with. Now I want to play the PC version on my computer. Is there anybody out there in possession of the PC version who would like to do...

    WTB: HDD (80GB+)

    I have an Xbox that I'd be willing to sell. It's in excellent condition, since I rarely ever turned the thing on. In fact, you probably wouldn't even be able to tell that it's a 'used' machine. The only problem is that I live in Vancouver, Canada, and you live in Minnesota. There's...

    Got my new X800XTPE

    I swear to god, just six months ago, when I was researching the net for information about which components I should put into my new PC, virtually everyone said to me... 'Dude, there is no game that needs more than 512 megabytes of RAM.' It seems now that no new game that's cutting edge will...

    Testing an X850 XT PE?

    My computer hasn't arrived yet, but to prepare myself in advance, how do I go about optimizing the system to make certain that the video card is running at its maximum capacity? After having read through this forum, about the only thing I can figure out is that I must remove any programs that...

    Dell 5650 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System with Subwoofer

    So you're saying that the 24-bit Sound Blaster Live does indeed support 5.1, and that there's no real reason to buy the Audigy, which is 50 dollars more? (Those prices, by the way, are in Canadian dollars).

    Dell 5650 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System with Subwoofer

    This week Dell is offering a 'free' upgrade on its speakers - in fact, you're paying for these speakers whether you want them or not, since the 'no speaker' option has been removed from the list. So the question is, are these speakers any good for gaming? FREE UPGRADE! Dell 5650 5.1...

    Logitech Cordless TRACKBALL for gaming?

    Believe it or not, but my new PC is going to be kept in my kitchen - yes my kitchen. Space is very, very limited in my... um, 'home' and I simply haven't got any room for a desk. The monitor will be placed up high, inside a cupboard, and the computer underneath in a lower one. There will be...

    Any thoughts about this system...

    If I were an American, living in the USA, I would probably buy an AMD based system from a dedicated gaming company such as Alienware or Falcon Northwest or even ibuypower.com - but, the thing is, see, I live in Canada. This means that any computer I buy from a company in the USA will have to...

    Any thoughts about this system...

    Okay, I'll consider going for the 3.2 GHz CPU rather than the 3.0 GHz option. I wouldn't have thought it would make much difference, but that's why I created this thread.

    Any thoughts about this system...

    It's definitely A) Do not have the skills! Trust me. I attempted to install a CD ROM drive once - not pretty. It's a shame that I can't afford a faster CPU - because I'm assuming that a 3 GHz Intel will bottleneck the ATI X 850. I should overclock, you say? Trust me. If I attempt to do...

    Any thoughts about this system...

    Of course I'll be configuring the system around the video card. My options are: 128MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X300 SE 256MB Nvidia® GeForce 6800 GTO Graphics Card [add $400 or $10/month1] 256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800 [add $200 or...
