Add-ons - June 2007

I bought a second dell xps computer for another room, so my husband I can each have our own. The belkin wireless adapter is supposed to work up to 400 feet away. This one is only 10 ft. away. I called tech. support and they were no help at all. Has anyone else out there had trouble or luck with wireless adapters and if so, what did they do? are some better than others? and isn't that the point of wireless, so you can be in another room with your computer. I am very frustrated with this.

My graphics card just crapped out on my tower PC. I am not sure what cards are compatible (if i need a PCI or AGP slot, etc.). If you could tell me how to find out what I have on my computer through commands then I can figure it out by myself (pretty computer literate, just been a few years since I ave had the time to really mess with it). I also would like to know a good graphics card under the $200 range. I have no preference between GeForce or Radeon so either should do. I have 2 gig ram DDR1 with a 2.0gzh board, intel pentium 4.

I should also mention that I play games, not too many, but like Counterstrike Source and BF2, so I would prefer a card that could run those games at a decent framerate, or at least the best I could get for the cheap price I have to work with.

After you post, be sure to check up as I will edit with any new information I get.

Thanks.

i thought to improve the graphics and the performance for videogames i'd need to install a better graphics card. I bought a new pc and on the description online it says "The 1 GB of installed RAM (PC4200, 2 x 512 MB, 533 MHz) is a fine start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and gaming software."
What is that mean? a video card wouldn't do anything? should i install both ram and a video card?

I just bought an nview luminator LCD projector. I hooked one side of the video cable into one video card on the computer and the other side of the video cable into the video card on the projector. Nothing happens, and the projector just stays on the logo screen. What am I doing wrong? Is my resolution too high or something. I have windows xp. I also cannot put my color scheme down under 16 bit, and the lowest my computer will go is 600 x 800. Why will my projector not recieve any images from the computer?

As noted above; I installed windows media player version 11 on my computer (an xp one), and suddenly my CD/DVD player doesn't work; and it doesn't even appear under my computer anymore. A friend had a similar problem and had to get a new computer. Will I need to get a new computer, or is there any way to get the drive to work again?

I'm thinking of buying a new graphics to replace my old busted one (Leadtek GeForce 6600GT Extreme).

I'm also thinking of changing the brand, since from what I see, most people get XFX, BFG, eVGA, or MSI.

I'm thinking of either a 7900GS or the 8600GT.

What do you all recommend? Which brand, and which card?

recently purchased a pc hp a6000n (AMD Athlon 64 X2 Processor 4200 Plus, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, SuperMulti DVD Drive, Vista Premium) with Nvidia GeForce 6150 SE problem is the graphics suck! i try to play cod2 and it lags so much even when i play at the lowest resolution. Even some of the icons on the desktop seem blury and the pictures when zoomed in. My last computer was a a430n with nVidia GeForce MX 440 AGP 8x graphics. I 've been happy with my old pc when it comes to gaming. How come a newer pc is worst when it comes to graphics? I want to spend as less as possible for a video card but get a decent performance. please tell me a couple good video cards that will play games like cod2 and far cry how much they 'll cost and where i can get them ( i prefer going to an actual store so i can get it installed) thanks alot!

My PC was zapped dring a thunderstorm and I had to get a new one. I decided to get an acer 4200 laptop. I asked the technician the above question and he gave me this chunk of stuff he unscrewed from the old PC and a USB box. I connected this with the new PC but nothing came up and I couldn't see any way of connecting it with the thing from the old PC. What else do I need to do?

I'm upgrading my PC's motherboard and RAM at a budget price (trying to go for under $200). I'm going for the lower-end 64 X2 since it's a lot cheaper than the Core 2 Duo low-ends and I don't use my PC much besides multiple word documents, power points, and internet.

The problem is I can't seem to find a more recent AMD motherboard that supports the old SD RAM (I have like 5 lying around my house collecting dust). Any recommendations? I already checked newegg and tigerdirect.

When playing a game it's working okay, but then it just suddenly freezes up and the computer restarts. Just bought it a week ago and computer meets all requirements to be able to play the game. Drivers also been upgraded. If anybody knows what's the problem or how I can fix it, that be great. Thanks.
