I find this strange because I have another computer that I bought just recently that came with a widescreen monitor but the image does not stretch out.

Hi all i have a laptop that i use for world of warcraft and my processor is a: Intel Core2 Duo T5600(1.83GHz/2MB L2Cache). I was wondering would there be much of a performance difference in gaming if i upgrade to a Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0GHz/4MB L2Cache)? Or would it just be a waste of money?

I have a Dell Ultra Sharp LCD monitor that I got from work. I am hooking it up on my home PC for the first time. I currently have both the analog and the DVI hooked up because I couldn't get a picture when just the DVI was in (even after hitting the "input select" button, nothing happened). So now that I have both plugged in, my analog mode works fine but when I click the input select button to go to the digital mode, I just see my desktop picture, no icons or anything. Am I doing something wrong or can you not use DVI mode all the time?

Can you still use XP and Vista with this processor or do you have to get a 64 bit version?

My laptop periodically goes through stages where it is very slow, and the hard drive activity light is solid, not blinking like it should be, but completely solid green. This problem usually happens aroudn midnight each night, but also frequently occur in the middle of the day. Any help would be appreciated. I have a Dell Insipron 1200 if that helps.

Hey,

I have a Dell Dimension e520, it came with a Pentium D 805 dual core that i just recently replaced to a Core 2 Duo e6400, I also upgraded from Windows XP to Windows Vista Home Premium. Anyways i have an Nvidia 7300 LE and i want to upgrade my video card in the near future to maybe an Nvidia 8600 GTS or even a Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTS...(because i found out the 7300 isnt too good for games....although i did finish F.E.A.R and F.E.A.R extraction point, but with some lag).....my question is i want to know how i find out if my motherboard is compatible with those, and how i find out? Lol i was going to build my own computer instead of the Dell but im probably not experienced enough yet.....next computer i get ill build......but if i can upgrade to a nice video card like the ones i mentioned i will be set for while.... :D

Thanks a lot =]
