I currently use an nVidia 7600 GT card and all the graphics settings in the games my family plays *appear* to be at maximum detail. This card cost about $130 after rebate. I'm seeing systems that use two of these $500-600 cards and ask myself what additional graphics detail would they provide. I know that I will need an 8xxx card or a forthcoming ATI card to get hardware support for Direc3D 10 (Windows Vista), but what am I losing, apart from time, by waiting for more modestly priced 84xx/86xx cards due out later next year? The games we play are first-person driving games, current year's versions (e.g., Trackmania, Outrun 2006, FlatOut 2).

I'm thinking of getting a MacBookPro and I'm scared that i wont be able to do all the things I can do on my current Toshiba laptop. Has anyone converted and noticed a difference? Ever since I got my iPod I've become such an Apple convert and I'd primarily using it for iTunes and the internet. Anyone have any advice for an Mac newbee? I used them all through college so it's not the system itself I've to get used to.

I want to change the drive letters of the removable storage (ex. Compact Flash, SD...) They don't appear in disk management so how do I change the drive letters. the card reader is mounted inside the computer and the hsrd drive is external. I want the hard drive partitions before the removable storage. The removable storage is empty, but I would like to be able to use it with my compact flash card from my digital camera every once in a while. All help is appreciated. Thanks

I'm looking for a laptop that is definitely under $1000 and the more inexpensive the better. I'll be using it to surf the web, email, download music, burn CDs and use MS Office possibly. I know there are some that are Vista compatible but I'm not sure how important that is...so if anyone can offer any suggestions that would be great, thanks

I use my laptop several hours a day, but 95% of the time it is plugged in. I'm told this is not good for the battery. I have an IBM Thinkpad and generally get about 1.5 - 2 hrs out of the battery. I mostly use my laptop for work (internet, PDFs, and spreadsheets) and watching movies.

I bought a webcam, which came with a seperate mic and installed the software and the cam is running fine. When I'm on MSN Messenger I cant get the mic to work and it wont work within the cam's own program either. The mic is plugged into the correct socket on my PC (you can't go wrong as they are all colour coded) and the Messenger mic options seem ok. Is there some other setting, within the PC itself that I need to change in order for the mic to work?
