Desktops - August 2007

Well my Ram is supposed to be 1024MB (1gb) but its says 896MB on the Ram test and that means the 128 MB for Graphics is coming out of my Ram and to check why that happened I found out that it says Nvidia 6100 using available PCI-Express slot on the box but when I cracked open the case to find out that theres no Graphics card at all let alone a Nvidia 6100. I got the PC a year ago from Bestbuy so what should I do I lost the Receipt and now should I take it back to Bestbuy or something else. If you know please tell me. Thanks. I have a Gateway GT4016 Media Center PC.

I have a socket LGA775. The processor that came with my computer is a P4 extreme, I just found a good deal for a Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz for $269.99, do these even come close to the Core 2 extreme??? I also dont want to spend anymore money on cooling products, I already have 4 120mm fans (2 intake on side panal, 1 top exhaust, and 1 back exhaust) i want to know if thats enough for a hog quad core....

Hi! I just bought a really nice Alienware PC, with a great graphics card (NVIDIA 8800 GTS), but I got the cheapest processor I found (2.0 ghz) because I didn't think it was too important. Now, when I play some of the new DX10 games, they look amazing, but it lags a hell of a lot! My guess is I chose the wrong processor for the job. I would just like to know what kind of speed I should replace it with (if I can), where I can find it for the least money, and how to uninstall my old one and put in the new one! Thanks!

My mother's birthday is coming up and she is a big online gamer. She showed me an article recently in her AARP magazine about a flexible waterproof keyboard that was dishwasher safe. I would really like to get this for her birthday. What I need to know is: I've found several different brands, which is best? It needs to be a full-size keyboard preferably in black. Also, where would be the best place to buy--I don't mind ordering online I just need to get it in the next 2 weeks.
Thanks in advance!

I have tried to muck around with the wizard etc and i also followed the instructions on page cannot be displayed. I opened the tools menu and click on automatically detect settings. Surely if the wee box at the bottom right is flashing and saying enabled then i should be able to access internet? This is a computer i got from my workplace, its just over a year old and runs XP Pro.

I just built my first computer and as i was installing all the drivers and softwares and xp updates that i need it in the computer one out of 2 times it restarted the bios would change... (not recognizing my hard drive and the speed on my ram and processor would go down... so i had to go there manually and put everything back in order to get it going) just wondering and another thing is how do i make xp start without me having to press F1... what part of the bios make it does that?

Not going to send Roxio $15.00. Will Vista SP1 address this when released presumably in December according to an Intel leak? Anyway around it in the meantime?
Still have my PS2 anyway, but somewhat ticked off about spending cash for a top line computer, and a basic function is an extra charge/hassle. Please no re-installing XP advice and Thanks for any imput!

Hello there. I was just wondering if liemwire was bad for a mac computer. My friend said that it didn't give viruses out it just made your computer way slower and did other things to it. If this is true could someone give me another website that is like limewire and works for mac computers and won't do damage?

People have told me never to shut down my computer, but I think thats a bunch of BS. I left my old computer on all the time and it burned out. I just want to know officially how much you should shut it down. I always get different opinions. Also I keep it in the attic, and during the day it gets to be like 120 degrees up there. Is that bad for it too? I'm assuming yes.

My computer was working fine yesterday, until i moved it into another room in the house. I unplugged the electricity before it could shut down, but i dont know if that has anything to do with it. But when i turn on my computer, it says no sata hard drive to boot up from and then asks me what to do, "safe mode, safe mode networking, safe mode with command prompt, last good configuration, start windows normally." I tried all the options but it just loops me back to the part where it says no hard drive to boot from. I also see a flash of a blue screen of death for a second but cant read what's on it. I cant start up my computer. Please help me!

Well...it's that time again...time for me to treat myself and build a new computer.

For my next custom build , I figured I'd see what everyone on here could say about it , and , possibly improve it.

Xclio Case - Black - Good Air Flow - * 109.00

Extra Fans for rear grill - * 8.99

Intel ATX Motherboard - 3 Pci E 16 - * 199.00

Intel Core 2 Extreme 3.0 Ghz * 1,400.00

Kingston 4GB DDR2 800 RAM * 360.00

Sony Dvd Burner/Player * 80.00

GeForce 8800 Ultra 768 MB * 700.00

Seagate 750 MB Sata 3.0 GB HD - * 260.00

Xcilco 850 Watt PSU * 250.00

Well , I think this would be good for me, the gamer , and , for some occasional 3-D modeling , and a little bit of photoshop work.

I'd love to have 2 of the 8800's , but , I doubt I could fit them comfortably in my case , heh.


Well , thanks for anyones ideas/input.

Today I also got a memory upgrade 2gigs added idk wats going but its really fustrating its still messing up. I dont know what system specs are just that its a dell xp edition 2002. it seems to crash in highly trafficed areas in the game. It never froze in areas like that before. i even dis installed Fable as well n still freezes.
