I understand that there has been quad sli released. Do i just buy 2x 7950 gx2 cards? If not what do i buy? And is quad sli better than and xtx x-fire setup? Xfire is better than just plain SLI.

How do you set the resolution to 1440 x 900? I bought an 19 inch wide screen LCD. And I can't seem to be able to set the resolution..The best right now I can get is 1024 x 768 without leaving black space top and bottom..The software that came with it did nothing to help me set the resolution. What do I do??

I have owned an HP Pavilion dv4000 laptop for about a year now, and for some reason, the right and left clicks choose to not work. The mouse pad works fine (for now..) and I've tried using those products that blow little particles out of the keyboard, but that doesnt seem to be the problem either. Any suggestions would be VERY helpful.

I have an AMD Duron 750 MHz which I overclocked to about 923 MHz, 256MB SDRAM, 266MHz FSB.
Before oveclocking my CPU, I converted videos, played games and music of course; I experienced that my processor is just awesome for games.
But when it comes 2 music or editing videos, my processor is just too slow. The videos I converted from my my DVD are just awful (I know I have used the correct software and I have tried as many formats), they hang every second. I know my PC does't have a virus or something. Even when it comes 2 playing music, my computer is sometimes too slow. Will overclocking be helpful? (Already done but right now I am using Linux.)
I am planning 2 buy a new processor. I have looked everywhere on the net and AMD processors show better benchmarks than Intel and are cheaper too.
I am really confused what 2 buy and if I buy AMD Athlon 4800+ will it give me the same problem as I have now with AMD Duron.
I play high-end games, lots of video editing and music. PS HELP!!!!!

I've asked this at the wrong category in Computers-Other.

If you have one, tell me about your experience with it thus so far. I'm getting one next month. What's the best monitor or system to get like Tyger for Macintosh? And is it worth it?

When playing games like, Heroes of Might&Magic 3, or Broken Sword 1, that play sound from CD(not audio cd, they're in wav/mp3 or video format), the sound comes out "choppy". My driver is LG CD-Writer.
I copied the sound files to my Hard Disk and played them without problems, so I'm guessing it has something to do with my CD-ROM driver "reading" sound files. But there are no problems when playing video, copying files, burning CD, etc. So I thought problem was not caused by the driver's optic reader, or whatever it's called.
There are sometimes problems playing music from CD using Winamp or Media Player, but the sound doesn't come out choppy like in the games.
Thank you for your time.

Dropped my harddisk that i had taken out of my cpu. I put it back in but it can't be recognised by the machine. I can feel it spinning, does that for a while, then it stops suddenly. If i boot on a different machine with it as a slave.. i still can't access it in "My Computer". There is no physical damage to it.
Really need to recover data off of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
