I'm thinking of buying a new graphics to replace my old busted one (Leadtek GeForce 6600GT Extreme).

I'm also thinking of changing the brand, since from what I see, most people get XFX, BFG, eVGA, or MSI.

I'm thinking of either a 7900GS or the 8600GT.

What do you all recommend? Which brand, and which card?

I spilled a glass of soda on it last week and now it has stopped working. Not surprising really. Is there any way of cleaning it up? Can I do it myself or do I need a proffesional. Are there proffesionals who do this? My lap top is completely filthy anyway. Any help would be gratefully received.

recently purchased a pc hp a6000n (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor 4200 Plus, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Premium) with Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE problem is the graphics suck! i try to play cod2 and it lags so much even when i play at the lowest resolution. Even some of the icons on the desktop seem blury and the pictures when zoomed in. My last computer was a a430n with nVidia GeForce MX 440 AGP 8x graphics. I 've been happy with my old pc when it comes to gaming. How come a newer pc is worst when it comes to graphics? I want to spend as less as possible for a video card but get a decent performance. please tell me a couple good video cards that will play games like cod2 and far cry how much they 'll cost and where i can get them ( i prefer going to an actual store so i can get it installed) thanks alot!

My PC was zapped dring a thunderstorm and I had to get a new one. I decided to get an acer 4200 laptop. I asked the technician the above question and he gave me this chunk of stuff he unscrewed from the old PC and a USB box. I connected this with the new PC but nothing came up and I couldn't see any way of connecting it with the thing from the old PC. What else do I need to do?

As soon as I switch-on the power supply, my pc starts automatically without requiring me to switch-on the pc (which I used to do previously). After working normally for about 10 minutes or so, the pc switches-off. I have checked the Device Manager which is OK in all respects. I have XP-SP2 with 512 mb of ram, TV tuner Card, two 80 GB Hard Drives and ATI radeon integrated graphics card.

I'm upgrading my PC's motherboard and RAM at a budget price (trying to go for under $200). I'm going for the lower-end 64 X2 since it's a lot cheaper than the Core 2 Duo low-ends and I don't use my PC much besides multiple word documents, power points, and internet.

The problem is I can't seem to find a more recent AMD motherboard that supports the old SD RAM (I have like 5 lying around my house collecting dust). Any recommendations? I already checked newegg and tigerdirect.

he got the computer a couple of days ago but couldn't connect to the internet. I made a copy of his vista disk and activation code to install on my computer. will it let me use his activation code, or has it already been registered by the vendor? he never had to activate it and never connected to the internet.

Just bought a new HP Pavilion desktop pc and wanted to add some more storage to the system. I've been checking out newegg.com, but I'm having a hard time choosing the right harddrive for my pc. A lot of these harddrives have strange codes on them like ATA100 and SATA and I don't understand what they mean. I'm worried about getting a harddrive that won't match up with my computer or that isn't even for desktop pcs. I'm looking for a mid-priced, 250GB (or 500GB if there's a deal) harddrive, around the $100 range. I was considering a Western Digital or a Seagate. What do you think will work best with my pc? What type should I get, specifically?

Hello,

Is there anyone knows where can you buy a hp camera? Like Circuit City, Best Buy, Office Depot, Comp USA, or Staples. I've got a big coupon about those hp photosmart cameras but it seems that they aren't that easy to find in a lot of stores.

So plz help me out if you have any ideas, thanks!
