    Current Vid Card Sweet spot

    I am finally getting around to building a computer after 2 years and I have gotten behind on video cards. What I am looking for is the sweet spot of price performance. I have done some research but at least with NVIDIA cards its confusing as heck. There are half a dozen 8800's (GTX, GT, GS...

    Bioshock Problems...help

    I had the exact same problems where the game would crash after the sub thing. I switched to my Vista install (I dual boot Vista and XP) and it loaded the level fine but was so slow it was unplayable. So I went back to XP and updated my video drivers to the newest version I could find and...

    Laptop as primary system and gaming rig.

    But that is kind of my point people upgrade too often. Heck i used to be one of them, new video card every year, more RAM, new CPU. IN the long run using a Laptop has saved me money. As for upgradeability you need to research things before you buy as laptops have come a long ways in the...

    Laptop as primary system and gaming rig.

    I use it for everything. When I first got my Dell 9100 I figured I would still use my desktop for gaming, but as time went on I never turned on my Home PC again. Then when I swapped to the XPS 2, I turned my desktop into a Mythtv box.

    Laptop as primary system and gaming rig.

    I actually feel the opposite. I only use my Laptop as my primary system, infact this is my Second "Desktop Replacement" Laptop that I have owned and I love it. Benefits: - I can pickup and go in minutes, and I can take my system wherever I go. I am also not stuck to 1 room of my house, I...

    Star Wars BattleFront 2 -- What a HIDEOUS POS!

    Battlefront 1 was a terrible. I have been playing Battlefront 2 for a few hours now and its an OK game but nothing special. The maps are still rather small when compared to Battlefield 2 or even Battlefield 1942. The graphics are ok but nothing special, I won't even play on the planets...

    XPS Questions

    Bah do not listen to them and get the Laptop. I have had my XPS2 for 3 or 4 months now and I love it. Infact I have a perfectly fine desktop here and I have not even started it up for months now. It really depends what you need it for. Myself I like the fact that I have a pretty powerful...

    beyond tv, sage tv, etc. which do you like

    I used Mythtv for a little over a year, and when my box decided to fry I decided it was time for a change up and I am now trying Sage. At this point I am wanting to go back to Myth as everything just seemed to work without too much juggling and it is a very fine program. I know nothing...

    Paging XPS and 9100 owners: Is your laptop too heavy?

    It really depends on what you are using it for. If you are hauling your laptop everywhere you go you might as well get a lighter model. If you just want a portable computer that is powerful then get a DTR. I personally have had my 9100 for a few months now and I love it. I have not...

    MythTV replacement

    Forgot to mention that I am Canadian so SageTVs EPG is not really working. I played with XMLTV a bit today, but had some issues getting it to work. I think I will revist SageTV when it has native guide data for us northerners. Spud

    MythTV replacement

    I have been using mythtv for about a year ago and I love the program but I am looking to start doing a bit more with it, and I am running into issues with my lack of linux knowledge. When I started using Myth there really was no good windows equivalent that had all of the features that I was...

    ITT: Dell Inspiron 9100 Owners Share Thoughts

    I have been looking for one myself and I did a little bit of research and it seems that the XPS/9100 have a large power draw and there are not many adapters out that can handle them. I have read a couple cases where batteries have been toasted by a bad car/air adapter and another person...

    Projector for computer

    Its the same reason printer ink is so expensive. When you have the market cornered you can charge whatever you want. Spud

    Projector for computer

    No camera, I will see what I can find. Not much to see though, guess I can take a picture of my wall :) Everything else is hidden away pretty much. I even keep my HTPC system in another room to keep the noise down. Spud
