Just wondering, what is the difference between
2.0GB DDR2 Non-ECC SDRAM, 667MHz, (2DIMM)
and
2GB DDR2 Non-ECC SDRAM,800MHz, (2 DIMM) ?
Also, is it a HUGE difference or if I were to go with the lower one [which is also the least expensive] it wouldn't make all that much of a difference?

When I bootup the computer it doesn't show anything on the LCD monitor. I hit the contrast buttons and the monitor will flicker on and off and show information on the screen. Do you think the LCD display has gone out or maybe it is a short? I tried pressing other keys around that area and it doesn't appear to be a short. Any advice be appreciated. If anybody knows of an LCD repair site on the Internet please let me know.

my friend has this motherboard here:
http://www.foxconnchannel.com/service/DriverDetail.aspx?id=en-us0000569&Pname=P4M800P7MB-RS2,P4M800P7MB-RS2H

The above is the manual.

The video card he is trying to use is an ATI Radeon Sapphire 128 mb Card.

He has 512 mb ram.
500 watt power supply (just bought)

It says in the manual that the board supports Agp 3.0.
However, when he tries to load any modern 3d game like bf2(512 mb ram required) or counter strike source(256 mb ram required) etc. the whole pc freezes all together.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I have an AOC widescreen LCD monitor that is around 22 inches wide. The picture is horrible. I think that there must be a resolution problem. I went into my properties>settings and it says that it's on 1280x1024. Isn't this for a standard screen, not a widescreen? There is no higher setting, everything else that is a lower resolution looks worse. The picture is stretched and there are "redraw " issues as Microsoft calls them, when my computer redraws underlying areas of the screen incorrectly when I move or resize windows. I have gone through the whole troubleshoot thing. Nothing. Any ideas?

So, my power supply on my eMachines went and blew my motherboard to non-working conditon. I bought a New motherboard off E-bay, the Asus P4GV-LA [Socket 478] [845GV], which is a motherboard used for HP systems..

After turning the computer on, it ran 'ok', but it needed updated video and sound drivers. I found a download to update the BIOS for this motherboard off of the HP website. I downloaded it and installed it. The computer rebooted and the display is okay now. The problem is that it is super super slow. As I'm typing this right now, It has about a twentysecond delay. When I move a window, about a five seoncd delay. When I scroll down a websie, it flashes. What is wrong? What can I do to fix it?

I just saw some of the apple ads on tv, and they lie so much. My friend had an older mac computer, a performa I think. It crashed all the time and was sooo slow. But i'm running a computer with XP and an Intel Duo core processor and it is running very fast and doesn't crash. So why does macintosh lie???
