Other - Hardware - November 2007

I'm looking to power a new nvidia 8800 GT (not GTS or GTX). My current PC is an HP a1730n, which has 2GB of RAM, an AMD 5000+ proc, and right now, an integrated card. THe stock power supply is still in there, with 350 W of power. I know I need a new one and I want to get a power supply thats under $65-70 I don't mind approaching the limit, but I want a reliable power supply without spending too much.

my sound went out. last night it was working fine and the only things i did since then was update realplayer (which kept buggin me to update it, but i dont even use it) and run scans and restarted. looking inside my case i found no loose connections or anything and the speakers work fine. i get no sound out of the 5.1, 2.1 or headphones - even if i change to location the headphones are plugged in to. it seems something is now wrong with my sound card, but its and on board thing and the device and drivers seem fine when i check those. please help if able, thanks.

I need a list of recently developed (within 1 to 2 years) input and output devices for computers. They need to be quite well known.

Hi, I am having a problem with my keyboard, (well I think it is the keyboard), when use the standard keyboard symbols, some of them are mixed up and showing incorrectly. eg. this symbol is in the wrong place@ it is by this " symbol. also my back slash is not even showing up on any of the symbols i typed to find it, it is not in its usaual place next to the backspace symbol. I tried putting in 2 other keyboards and they also are doing exactly the same thing........what is wrong, i have also tried to restore to another date, where I can remember it was working and this has not helped me either, I have also checked the Language settings and they are the same, I would appreciate it if someone could help me please, as i work in MSDOS, with one of my programs and I need to use the back slash.

Hi, I want to build a PC that runs linux with more than 4GB memory on it. Say 16GB or 32GB available. Is there a way to do that?
If possible, what type of hardware should I pay special attention to?

Intel Pentium D Dual Core (2x3.0ghz) or E6750 Core 2 Duo Processor (2.66GHz). I am planning to do video rendering and multitrack audio editing at home. Not gaming. I know not all processors are created equal - so is the 2x3.0 neccessarily faster/better than the E6750?. I am looking at 2 systems. Each has similar specs on graphics cards/RAM but different processors.

I have heard that in Windows Vista (32bit) it doenst really do any good to upgrade from 2 to 4 gigs of RAM. There is no performance gain and Vista can only recognize up to 3.25 gigs. Are there any knowledgable computer users out there to help me clarify this?

If I only have a DVI input in the back of my computer is it possible to use a DVI to VGA adapter for the use of a VGA converter? What would be the easiest way to go about this?

I was looking at something like this, would it work with just a dvi port or would i need the dvi to vga adapter?

this is a question ive always wondered,

when upgrading a hard drive (ex. 150GB to a 300GB or more) do you have to have a fresh copy of the operating system or is there a way to keep all of your files AND programs and transfer to the new hard drive?
