I want to plug my PS3 into a PC monitor. If I use a HDMI -> DVI adapter, will there be any loss in video quality by the time it displays on the monitor?

I mean, will the picture quality on the monitor be worse than normal HDMI picture quality becuase it has had to travel through an adapter?

Thanks

How can I increase the clock speed on my AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Processor, with a maximum clock speed of 2.41GHz?
When I am using my computer the clock speed always seems to be 950-1000MHz, and I want to know how to make it go higher. I know that there's a chance it can overheat and everything, but it seems like it should be fine going a little faster than just 900MHz, if it's capable of 2.41GHz. I was thinking something like 1.5GHz. Do you think that would be ok, and can you tell me how to do it?

Thanks for the help,
Matt

2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics with 256MB SDRAM

It's a macbook pro 17inch with 1680 x 1050 pixel resolution.
More and more games are starting to be released for the mac platform, but the intel macs are capable of natively booting windows xp or vista with supposedly full driver support.

What sort of games can this setup handle, and at what graphic quality?

1.) I have 512 MB of RAM physically installed on my computer. Yet the system diagnostics only show me as having 504 MB. What is making those other 8 MB unavailable, and how can I change that?

2.) My computer is a pre-built Compaq Presario SR1250NX, and apparently I don't have a video card per se, but some kind of built-in Intel chipset. It's the Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset, specifically. I can't seem to find any way of analyzing or comparing this video chip to known real video cards, such as NVIDIA. What I want to know is how to determine, based on this mysterious video chipset that I have, whether or not my computer meets the requirements for various games. The game's requirements will say something like, "ATI X800 series, Nvidia GeForce 6800 series, or higher video card." How can I determine my chipset's equivalency with these standard cards?

I have a Compaq Presario V2000 that originally had 256 mb...yesterday I bought 512 mb memory and added it in the empty slot...when I checked the RAM under "my computer" properties it only shows 384 mb...however the processor speed on there somehow doubled from 780 smthing to 1.58 ghz...Then I used this one site "www.crucial.com" and it scanned my computer and said I have a total of 512 mb installed...256 in each slot...so I'm not sure what exactly is going on...I thought if I installed 512 then my RAM would increase by that amount...any help/explanation/suggetions?!!

PS....the memory is DDR SODIMM PC2700

I'm still using dial-up because the cable companies don't come out this far. (Cable & DSL are NOT available to me.) My PC is a Dell Dimension 8250 Pentium 4 running Microsoft XP, 4 or 5 years old. Can I hook up a wireless router to my dial-up phone line? My ISP techs say yes, the local store clerks say no. Which is it?

If I can hook up a wireless router, please tell me what hardware I'll need?

We have a USB reader/writer for the smart card used in
our digital camera. When connected to the computer it
shows up as another drive. Normally I can just copy the
pictures from the "new" drive to wherever I want them on
the hard drive of the computer. But I have been getting a
message that tells me that the media cannot be written to
because it's write protected and to go and remove the
write protection. I have searched high and low to figure
out how to remove the write protection, but I haven't
found it yet and am getting a little frustrated. It must
be something really simple. I want to be able to write to
the disk if I want to use it for a slide show that I
would put together of pictures from my hard drive. How
can I remove the write protection? Thanks.

was a high bidder on ebay for a laptop. my winning bid was $615 and the laptop that would cost about $950 from Dell (if it were new). I am worried about it being a refurbished laptop, however. The seller says that the warranty is 1 year and in perfect condition.the problem is that I won it on ebay but i didnt realize it was a refurb. I can probably buy my way out of the deal for $25. Should i just get the laptop or try to buy my way out?

I can't get it to work. I've bought a new card but it gets no power so I thought I'd replace the slot but can't get the computer open. I took all the outside screws out. I thought maybe the port was disabled but what is it called? And, how would I take it out. It seems that there are two screws I can't get to in the middle.
