Hi,

I am thinking of purchasing a new video card. The one I am looking at has the correct specs but is "dual display" . I only want to use it on a single monitor. How does this all work. I am new to this sort of stuff.

Thanks so much!

I want to buy this AM2 mobo. Its sweet I love it. The Price now is 79.99 after mail in rebate. Should I buy it now or wait and see if it goes down more? I am afraid it might go back to 120 or 100 again. Opinions?

So, since all laptops except for a select few have vista now, would getting a 32-bit laptop be better than a 64-bit or vice versa? And if I got a 64-bit I'd still be able to play like city of heroes or new games like world in conflict right?

Hi,

I have a computer that I bought January of 2006. I want to start playing Flight Simulator X, and I want to get a new video card. The problem is, the video card on my computer is built into my motherboard. I want to install an ATI Radeon card and they seem to plug into a slot. My computer has empty ones for that. Will the new video card work? Please respond fast, it would be greatly appreciated!

I just want the best computer you think will work. I am a big fan of movies, so I need something that will be good for that, and I want something fast. I have heard good things about dells and the mac pro. I do not care about price, just the best one you think would work.

I have been a pc user throughout my 18 years of existence but am now faced with the decision: Dell or Apple for my brand-spankin-new college laptop. My choices have been narrowed down to these two brands due to Indiana University offering substantial student discounts. Up until a couple years ago I would have gone pc without thinking twice, but since then I have heard so many positive things about macs, so I was hoping somebody could help me out here. I will mainly be using this laptop for standard school duties, with maybe a little gaming on the side.. but mainly school duties... hopefully. Thanks in advanced for your help!

I recently bought this dvd drive but it won't write dvds. Under My Computer when I insert a DVD-R or DVD+R it marks it as a cd drive, But when there are no dvds in the drive it marks it as DVD-RW drive. Does this mean that I need to use a DVD-/+ RW disk? What confuse me is that I have this DVD+R disk that I have written a while ago and it reads it fine. I already updated the firmware and I went to each program under Nero and updated it as well. Here is a link to the DVD drive specs site http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/support/details/0,,2076_310070398_394322650_tab=E,00.html?compName=PNA_V3_SupportDetailsComponent Any suggestions?

I am considering buying an Apple laptop since it's very entertainment-y, like with movie makers and such. I know about Bootcamp to help with Windows programs...but is it still not worth it?

Also Apple's coming out with Leopard, a new system...if I buy an Apple, should I wait for that? And what is it and when does it come out?

Thanks!
