i have a MSI S775 Intel 975X ATx Audio Lan power Up Edition motherboard.

Im looking to buy a grpahics cards for video editing (within a budget), obviously i want a card that supports all of Direct X9(c) features, but how important is the memory?

Would i be sacrifing too much if i plumped for a card with 128mb, or do all current games happily run with 128mb available if chipset has the power?

so my question is what graphics card should i buy for MSI S775 Intel 975X motherboard AND

how many mb, 128 or 256 or 512. have around £150 to spend.

I would like to take the hd from a computer with a dead (and very expensive) power supply, and put it into a working omputer. Trouble is that the hd is a sata drive, and the motherboard in the working computer has no socket for a sata.

My computer restarts by itself after working from 20 - 30 minutes.

I have another tower that i was given a few months back, it looks although it is a costom made tower, put in with motherboard etc etc. The 80gb HDD that come with it doesn't do anything! It has an AMD athlon 2000xp Processor, and runs 512mb of ram memory, i do have another 256 to add, depending which OS i use.

I am having trouble with loading ME onto it, it seems to be taking forever, to do what my old tower done within 12 hours!
I am still using the 10bg HDD as i have no other one ( that Works )

I am wondering if i should put XP back onto it because it might just go through the cycle of not working again, where it keeps restarting and returning the the safe mode option screen, and yet again restarting.

I also Have Windows 2000 Proffetionall, But when i try to install my broadband software it comes up with a grey box saying ' OrandBroadband Has caused an Error in Unknown.
What does this mean??

Many thanks, Dave ;-)

I've been itching to ask this: I've heard on certain motherboards mainly the Nvidia 680i or should I say the ASUS P5N32-E SLI motherboard http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131073
It says that it can run 2 cards in PCI express slots at full x16 speeds and then a physics card at 8x speeds, but whenever I look at the ageia Physx card it says it's interface is PCI.... WTF? Am I missing something here? It will work right.... but how? And another thing, how many of you think the Physx card will be worth it to buy and how many of you who have it like it (who have actually played physics enabled games)? It's only $143, and if you don't how long do you think it will be until it is worth it to buy? 1 year? 2 years? 3 years?

Okay so im typing on my imac and notice my wireless keyboard is gettig a bit dirty. I turn it off and wipe it down with a lightly damped sponge. I restart my computer and the clear notice pops up sayin "Conection Lost" for the keyboard. Batteries dead, I immediately think. I turn off the keyboard and change them into some rechargeable batteries. Nothing. Must not be charged. They charge and i turn on the key board. The Bluetooth assistant goes thru the process, detects the keyboard, then tells to type in a code and press return. i type it and wen i press return nothing happens. Nada. I go to textedit and I try to type. Nothing. I look at the keyboard, the lights are blinking (bink blink pause) over and over again.
Come on now, whats going on?!

I don't know what I need and don't. I ended some but don't want to end the ones that I don't know what they do. If I end them will it hurt my computer?

I am trying to print on some paper that I bought from hobbylobby which is a metallic type textured paper. I had problems with it smearing when I printed on it with an inkjet printer. I work at a retail store with a printing department that uses Xerox laser printers. Since the paper seems to be non-porous would a laser printer be more suitable for the paper or is it impossible to print on this type of paper?

I actually have two questions. First, I'm getting a laptop that has a Geforce Go 7700, and since it's coming with Vista Home Something, I assume it can run DX10, but I want to make sure. Second question: I have Vista Ultimate but I lost the packaging and I'm not sure if it's an upgrade CD, or a full install CD, but I'm pretty sure it's a full install. Even if it is a full install, can I just pop it into the lappy with the pre installed Vista Home, and get Ultimate Vista in the end, thanks in advance.

I have a desktop and a laptop, Ultimate is expensive... can I install it on both at the same time legally?
