ok, I been browsing for awhile and now idea which I should get for all the games I play,It has to be a PCI only, I dont have a PCI express slot or I would get a 512, I would like a 256, I need a good video card for a lot of gaming. price limit is $225.00 here are some:

WOW: world of warcraft
Battlefield 2
Battlefield 2142
Counterstrike:Condition Zero
Civilization 4
O.R.B.
Rise of Nations:Rise of Legends
Hegemonia
Rise and Fall of nations
Empire Earth 2

I need all of these to work, thxs. I was looking at this 1, but if you have a better idea, has to be PCI though

My computer is about 3-4 years old that is currently running on 30 GB hard drive and 256mb DDR ram PC2100+, 1.73 GHz AMD Athlon. I'm not exactly sure what kind of a hard drive I have and not sure if SATA will be compatible with my somewhat outdated computer. I'm also trying to upgrade to 2x512Mb ram memory. Any comments or advices?

Went into work today and my computer wouldn't start. My co-worker powered it off through Windows Saturday night. Monitor is okay. Everything is plugged into power strip which is still on. After playing with it I decided the Power Supply was dead. Changed it out with a new one. Now the fans start, CD and DVD work but no noise from the HDD. Tried switching around the power plugs to it but no good. Any thoughts? I brought the HDD home to try it on another computer but figured I'd ask before going through the trouble.

I know some may think they suck but…
My lexmark Z25 printer is attatched through a cable toa USB port in my Imac. It normally works, but for some reason, it is not working. I think the computer is not sensing a connection to the printer, it tries to open a connection, but every time, it just stops. I could be wrong, and maybe its another problem. It will not print any docs at all. I have tried unplugging and replugging, restarting comp, turnin off printer, and turning it on again, and the Lexmark.com page will not load, says Bad Gateway. Please help me! Thanks!

Iv had my pc for a few years, all iv done to it is add an extra hard drive (80G) to an existing 40G one, add 64MB RAM(total 128 now), fitted a DVD rom, a slightly upgraded graphics pci card and recently an ethernet pci card.

im no pc wiz so any help would be appreciated, i think its the main processor.

its time to get a new one but i dont know what would be gd for my pc and i dont want to shell out a fortune (prob £50 max tbh)

i use my pc for low spec games (C&C, sims), internet browsing and music downloads.

any general advice on what to do to my pc to makle it run half decent for the kind of thing i do??

thanks

Not that either one is better than the other, but it would be nice to be able to build your own Apple Computer, by buying a motherboard and doing everything yourself. Why can't we do this, as apposed to PCs?
