Hardware - October 2006

will more ram or another graphics card help me boost my graphics performance, my motherbaord (capable of 4gb ram) is sli ready and i already got 2GB ddr2 ram, the graphics card is a pny geforce 7300gs 256mb. ive check the website and it says that its sli ready but in the box that in came it dont say anything about sli ready.( http://www.pny-europe.com/uk/verto_gf7_7300_gs.asp ). oh and because the current specs that my computer is got, and i still cant get games (like ghost recon advance warfighter) to run in full graphics without a bit of lag, well when i use ani-aliasing 16x. sry i hope all that makes sense, any advice will be helpful.

I've got an Epson RX600 printer and the six cartridges, if bought as original Epson, cost and arm and a leg. I have resorted to buying replacements on eBay but they don't always run freely and text printing can be poor or the cartridges have to have their heads cleaned before every print. Yes, I know, false economy but can anyone recommend a site where cartridges replicate the performance of original equipment and at a reasonable price?

I want an SLI gaming system with an am2 socket processor..... I narrowed it down to two processors. The AMD 64 X2 5000+ and the Conroe (Intel Core 2 Duo) witch one does everybody think is better? BTW: Why is the AMD 64 a 32 bit processor that's ready for 64 bit applications? I always thought it was just a 64 bit processor....... Thanks!

This is for all and it was a tough question that took me time to solve. jjayflash9's asked this question. I stated that it can be done with audio but not video. I found that it can be done!!! It was to late for me to respond back.
I needed the same thing for my pc to show movies without the wires running through my living room.
Anyone got an idea?
10 points waiting for the closest answere!!!
If nobody can then I will post it in forum.
Clue: it's not networking!

My CD-RW drive door will not open. It has a CD in it. I tried to format the CD (thinking that might allow me to open the drive door), but I got the message that the format failed due to damaged media. How can I get the drive open to remove the CD?

I just bought a new computer system (tower only) from Dell, however, I kept my old monitor that is approximately 4 year old (also bought from Dell). When I hooked up my monitor to my computer a black and white screen came up informing me that I had a custom graphic card and I needed a video adapter. When I called Dell they told me that I had everything hooked up correctly and the old monitor should work with the new computer. However, everything does not work correctly. Does anyone know why this is happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
