Hardware - February 2007

I am trying to get 3 lcd monitors to work in a triple display system. lets say. One in the middle, two to the sides. I have two nvidia 7900 gt cards. Windows xp pro.

so i want to make the 3 monitors. one big long horizontal display, i can get it to span across two monitors, but the forth one cant span with them. It acts just as a second display.

I know theres a way to do it, but i cant find it.

So help me out here please

Is there anyone here who recommends a certain laptop? I would like to get one but I want one that you can upgrade. Also what are the most important components for speed? Are you on a laptop?

Problem is after the install process the monitor goes blank at the start of windows but the startup process continues with no display. I have removed on board driver, set the shared memory to 0, installed the video card and installed the driver. Anyone had the same problem?

I asked this yesterday, but didn't really get a real good answer. What is the best gaming processor, I am looking for something around $350 or less. Thats just for the processor, not including everything else.

Ok, first off, how much is the MAC OS Tiger or whatever?

Now, I bought a PC, a Sony PCVRS-420 that came with Windows XP. Can I put MAC OS on this computer? Or do I HAVE to buy a MAC to have the OS? Or how does that work? Just curious how that would go, what I would have to change, do, or whatever.

i've had my laptop for about 2.5 years. it doesnt run as good as it used to.

--when i turn it on, i get a prompt that says somthing like "symantec auto protect unable to load"
--sometimes the desktop will not show up at all. no icons, no start menus. the only way i can get it to work is by the Alt-Ctrl-Del funtion, and then running the C: drive, which i get a prompt like "the file C:\blahblahsomethingorothernonsense" cannot be found. then my start menu and desktop icons will show up.
--my AOL application often shuts off/disconnects by itself.
--last week, i got a blue screen of death (havent seen that in a while)
--generally runs slower (longer for applications to open and run)
--often makes a loud buzzing noise (like a fan on high speed)

how do i eliminate some of this so i can make my pc run a little quicker? i dont want to reinstall XP again.

I just installed a new Soundblaster X-Fi audio card and I'm now getting a code 12 resource error on the video card, which is a Nvidia 6600. My motherboard is a ga81sxt made by Gigabyte for Fujitsu Siemens. The computer is a Scaleo 600. I've gone to the website and there doesn't seem to be a BIOS update. I have 2 gb of RAM, if that helps.
