Hi, i am wondering if running two nvidia 256MB 8400GS or two 8500GT in SLi mode would be better than a single Nvidia 8600GT? Also would it be future proof and good enough to run directx10 games? Also i have a 530 watt power supply so is this enough for 8400 or 8500 SLi???
Thanks

I have a wireless network, all my laptops in the house are hooked up to the web via wi-fi.

I have a printer, and i want to be able to press print on my laptop, and for it to print out all the way in the other room, no usb cords.

I recall that there might be some sort of thing you can attach to printers that don't have wi-fi already, but I don't know. You guys are the answerers, you tell me.

I know you should not clean and LCD monitor as you would an old TV or monitor. I just don't know for sure how to clean an LCD monitor.

well I'm shoping for a new or used laptop and I came across this site with laptops as low as 49.00. I found this to good to be true but not sure if I should purchase from them. Here is a link to the site. Take a look at some of the computers. What would you do? Do you think this is a scam site?

Will an intel Pentium D Processor 820+ (2.80 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 Cache) work with a Intel Desktop board D101GGC.

It sais only Celeron D is supported, but the guys at the PC shop said that it would work with the processor? Have they made a mistake? or will it work?
Thanks!

Recently I've noticed certain games are conflicting, at first I thought it was just new titles that were realesed in the last few months, but even older games like Just Cause or even small indie games are hving problems now, I have no idea what the problem is, I have latest versions of Direct X and the drivers for my graphics card. On very rare occasions they do work, on others they dont, Im just so confused I have Intel Dual Core and its easily dast enough to run the software, enough HDD space and memory so Im just so confused as to why things that used to work perfectly are starting to screw up... is the card not compatibal with something?? Or is there a common fault on these things, I've looked everywhere and cant find any answers, please can someone try and help me??

thanks in advance

Okay so I have a Gigabyte S-series mobo w/ a dual core intel processor, BFG 650 watt power supply, Nvida 256 mb Gforce fx 5500 graphics card.

At first, nothing would spin, but a flip of the power switch to set it at 115 fixed that and I thought I was good to go again. But now, I get no beeps only fans. It is supposed to beep right?

I've made sure the power is mounted to the board. It is NOT the power supply. I have had it tested already, and confirmed what I was told (that it is fine) on a tester that I own as well. So I know it's not that.

I do get display and can go into bios, but not load safe mode or normally. It just restarts every time I try. Besides the lack of beeps, it boots like it should till it gets past the bios screen that you can see in any comp. I can get in bios itself no problem, but if I try to countine with the boot instead it says the usual generic message:

Ok, Here is what I got. I have an ATI Radeon 9700 video card, in a computer that I built using spare parts from my friends Alienware. I have it hooked up via S-Video cable to my TV which is a Samsung 50'' LCD HDTV. My problem is that even though I am running the latest drivers, the resolution on my TV image (which is a clone of my desktop) is just terrible. I have a friend with a RCA LCD 52'' hooked up in much the same way ( except he uses VGA, an option I don't have), but his picture is crystal clear. Is there a setting I can change to repair this? Or is my friends LCD just a better TV for this type of connection? Or are my dreams of having as crystal clear 50'' HD image to play Call of Duty 3 on just a bit too lofty? Should I try to upgrade to Vista (grrr) or just stick with XP Pro? Any advice, good or bad, would be much appreciated. Thank you!!

Hi,
I want to buy, from the US, a new Graphics Card to SLI it with my current (UK version) 7600GT and a 1GB memory stick (PC3200 400Mhz 184-pin DIMM) to combine it with my other stick in the UK........because it is cheaper.

I would like to know if there will be any problems in combining US and UK components on in a PC and if the make of the memory stick I want to buy has to be the same as the one I currently have, similarly with the Graphics Card.

Thanks
