My Half-Life 2 game runs choppy and slow sometimes. What can I upgrade, other than my video card, to help this. I have already upgraded my video card to GeForce 5600, but the game itself runs slow during complicated graphic moments

Which is better?
Looking for pros and cons of each. I am considering getting a Mac since it seems to be less prone to viruses and easier to use.

i guess you can..of course all you will need is a tv tuner..but..if you watch full screen tv on the monitor...will the quality of the video or display be as good as a real tv?won't it be pixelized?or somethin..

And,can you use it like a tv..in a way,.example..you are going to connect your game console ,let's say PS2, into it...can you do that?is there any converter that can provide your monitor the normal tv output jack stuff(the yellow,white,red plugs if you know what i mean)

What satisfaction do people replying here get when they give stupid answers? Are they bored or just truly stupid? Some people really try to give good answers and I am sure they are always appreciated but where do these stupid ones come from and what motivates them?

can you use your laptop anywhere, or do you have to plug it in. I'm wanting to use my laptop at the ballpark or racetrack, is there a way that I can do that?

I am going to sell my desktop PC because I have been travelling a lot, and need something more portable. I am a student so am on a tight budget (around $400). I need a laptop that is good for music, video, etc (multimedia). Anyone have an idea on where I can get a good laptop for cheap? I'm in Canada, so I want to find something under $475 with shipping included. I don't need a printer, speakers or a webcam, just the laptop itself. Thanks!

Problems include small words that are dim and hard to read. The only thing that has changed has been yahoo. Explorer is the only program affected.
