i've noticed a trend in LAPTOPS that if you're going to get one with an intel core 2 duo processor (which most people say is better than AMD), the video card would most probably be a graphics accelerator from intel as well; and if you're going to get one with an AMD processor, the video card would most probably be either an ATI or nVidia video card (both of which most people say are a lot better than intel's).

here's the case: although people tell me to get an ATI or nvidia graphics card, they also tell me that core 2 duo is much better. it's a laptop im buying and i seldom see one with both items included. it's either one or the other.

im planning to get a laptop that is suited for gaming, so which combo should i get? core 2 duo + intel's graphics media accelerator or amd turion 64 x2 + ati or nvidia graphics card?

tnx in advance! ^_^

I am using a pc with windows xp home and I would like to add a movie player to my pc. The pc has a primary and a secondary plug in slots, master and slave. I am using AII accelerator. The secondary slot contains a cd reader(master) and a cd/rw(slave) which works. The primary has a 40 pin ribbon w/ 2 long connectors, one for the HDD the other for another device. The back of the dvd movie player has a jumper for slave, master and cable control. The last time I tried to connect this long ago I could not get the HDD to get the dvd movie player to work as a slave. I have used up all the ribbon ports and only have the HDD one left. I should install the software first, but is there something I am not doing like going into BIOS or like that to configure this drive? The back of the dvd player says these words and pins in this order>digital audio,analog audio,cable select, slave, master, 40 pin ied interface, dc input. Could I try the cable select? Thanks Brett

I mostly play counter strike and it is recommended 2.4 ghz and i only use one application at a time.

I have just recently purchased a HP Scanjet 4370 photo scanner with 3600 * 7200 DPI capacity. I also have a HP Deskjet 5420 photo printer that prints out at 4800 * 1200 DPI. My question is: If I want to scan either a smaller than wallett size photo or scan a 4 by 6 photo to a 8 by 10 size duplication, what is the recumended DPI setting that I should increase to? Right now I have scanned a smaller than wallett size photo at 2400 DPI into a 8 by 10, and it came out alittle below fare. I have scanned a 4 by 6 photo in 1200 DPI into a 8 by 10 and it came out beautiful. I am using Kodak Photo Gloss paper @ 6 mil. OK, whell I need some assistance in this subject. Thanks.

Is there any way I can have my widescreen computer to play a 4:3 game on full screen while keeping the proportions? It is not a game option. I want to have my computer display the 4:3 game properly, and have blanks in the spaces not displaying the game.

The last few weeks my PC has been acting funny. I get lag in places where I didn't used to, and my newest game runs boggy and takes forever anytime it has to load anything big. It's not just games though, I have seem some bogdown with internet browsing, music, pretty much everything.

No major changes during this time. All drivers and software up to date. Defragged, virus scanned, ran a chkdsk, ran spybot, ran hijack this, deleted my cookies, moved my hard drives so they are on seperate ide controllers, and begged MicroShaft to let me die peacfully.

I am running the following hardware:

AMD 2800+
Asus A7N8X-E deluxe mobo
1 gig kit of dual channel DDR (Corsair)
2 80 gig EIDE hard drives @ 7200 rpm
ATI x1600 pro (AGP)
Soundblaster Live (ancient tech, I know)
paired optical drives (CDr/w, DVD r)

I read some info that I could create a virtual hard disk. Is there a way which I could do it costless-ly and fully effective? thanks
