Hardware - June 2007

the video card that i've chosen to buy is a 8x AGP 512MB that runs on a AGP 4x slot (NVIDIA Verto GeForce 7600 GS). The card i currently have is a 256MB AGP 4x (NVIDIA 4200 Ti). If i buy this card, will the added video memory increase the speed of my games and applications?

Also will it update my shader model to 3.0? (my current shader is 1.10)

Any answer on added performance will be helpful

Thanks

I mean everything, all the information, all the saved things. I mean everything is erased.

1. What detailed specs about my motherboard should I look at (besides AGP/PCI ports) when buying a graphics card so I know that my motherboard can handle the card without wasting power or using too much voltage.

2. How do I overclock a graphics card?

I just got my notebook and is prepared for first charging, however, I want to know how long should I charge it for the first time?? Some of my friend said 6-8 hours, some said 24 hours. The range is just too big for me to handle.

And how long should I charge it for the subsequent charges?? How many hours and how do I know if it's fully charged.

Any tips to increase the battery's lifespan?

Hi,

I have a Canon FAX L780 photocopier / fax machine. Recently, it started to produce copies with wrinkly text and content.

eg. Original copy : Staight line
Copy version : wavy line

If you know why, please help. Thanks

PS: I tried cleaning the fax / scanning glass and using good quality printing paper.

I'm thinking of buying a 8800 GTS, and I was reading the customer reviews and one of them said that he wasn't able to play Halo (it ran, but with horrible graphics and "Snow Effect") because of Nvidia's unified architecture. Read it at: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16814133193&SortField=0&SummaryType=ALL&Pagesize=10&Page=4
Those that make any sense? Is it truth?

Long back I was snapping admirable scenes while video is played and saved them in the image file. Now I am unable to do it as I have forgotten the key? I tried with Ctrl.I; it didn't work. Either I must have forgotten the key or may be another key to it. I like to know please.

When I was playing a game on my computer one day, it just stopped what I was doing and restarted itself. Once everything loaded, I tried again to start my game, and it restarted itself again. After a few times of restarting it wouldn't even give me enough time to actually go to start - shut down.

So I just held the power button down and it finally turned off. I've done this a few times in the past but nothing bad happened to my computer. However, this time when I tried to turn it back on after a few seconds, it wouldn't turn on.

I checked the back to make sure cords weren't loose and they weren't. I also noticed that the green light in the back of the hard drive was still on if that matters.

I know it's not my moniter, because when I push the power button it should light up showing that my computer is on, but it doesn't.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with it, and if I can fix it, how?

I am starting Law School in a couple months. I am looking for a good laptop for about $1500. I would require 2 gigs of ram and would like a decent graphics card for a laptop and was hoping for at least 2 gigs of dual core pocessor.

I looked at Dell and some other major companies. What do you guys recommend? Is there a better place to get what I'm looking for cheaper? My friend has a 17" HP laptop which he got for about 1500 that is very nice and has lots of cool features.

Anyway, open to lots of suggestions. And if it would be better to wait, I can probably get it in a month or month and a half if cool new stuff is on the immediate horizon.
