As best as I can tell, Asus is the only company with an nForce 680a motherboard out there. Perhaps I'm falling for a marketing trap by believing that a BFG nForce 680a motherboard would somehow improve upon the performance of a pair of BFG 8xxx graphics adapters.

So two questions:
1. Any ETA's for other makes of 680a motherboards?
2. Will the others be any better really?

Is there any program that I could get that is free and would invert the colors on my screen. I'm looking at a Medical Database I have installed on my computer and I want to look at White text with a black background, not black text with a black background. Black backgrounds are easier on the eyes lol. But anyway, is there any program that would let me invert the colors on my screen?

my system was running 512Mb of DDR RAM, i went out and bought a 1Gb of ram, thinking this would give me 1.5Gb in total, but when i installed the 1Gb, my computer wouldn't boot up. so i swapped the 512 for the 1Gb and its working fine. both work individualy, why cant i use both at the same time?

Hi all, I see some laptops or desktops come with (e.g.) ATI Radeon graphics. Is this the same as the aftermarket graphics cards? Some system uses the Intel graphics. Which's which?

I have an X-Blade custom gaming computer and my question is this, I shut it down every night before I head to bed, is this good for it? Or is it better to leave it on all the time? My parents leave theirs on all the time with no seemingly negative effects. However the reason they do this is, a friend of ours who works with computers doesnt seem to think its very good when you shut it down every night. I would like to get some other opinions on this matter. TIA and all the best, Jon

I have an older computer, not too old; Sony Vaio with a Pentium 4, 2.80 GHz and 2 GB of Ram, but no PCI-e slot.

So I've been looking for an AGP card to replace my GeForce FX 5200 128 MB card.

Was in between a few cards in that price range;

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102073

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102057

So mainly in between these two. Both Radeon x1650 Pro. But the thing that was confusing was the 256 MB has GDDR 3 and the 512 MB has GDDR 2. Wasn't sure the big difference between these. Any helps appreciated, thanks.
