    What would happen if...

    in a serious matter, if we are talking portals the way the game portrays them, then you would simply be crushed. you walk in, you instantly pop out the other. you go halfway in, your other half is coming out the other. so the portals have no depth, no thickness, just like a reflection. so in...

    If you insist on comparing a PC to a Mac read this first

    we refurbished a powerbook g3 at my work, put os10 on it in the process. i think it was the newest supported... anyways.... it was slow as poop. but once everything was loaded in cache, it ran pretty zippy. are all mac coded programs just coded smaller? cause the damn thing only had 256mb ram if...

    windows 7 glitches

    it sounds like hes got bad acpi drivers, which can cause windows update to screw up... thats usually a cause from doing the upgrade. so ill assume its an upgrade so far the only people i've heard knocking windows 7 are the non pc literate ones :)

    my hp dv2000 laptop will not turn on?

    i have to fix at least 4 of the dv2000-9000 series at work every day. horrible line. however, some are simple fixes. if the power supply isnt blown, try swapping out some ram sticks. bad memory slots is a popular fault on those models. next id try getting a 19 v 4.74 amp power supply and try...

    surveillance system

    you dont need to be getting a quadcore for a decent dvr setup. most of the dvr servers at my surveillance job were pentium 4's and pentium d's, and they worked well. the important piece of them is your dvr card, and your raid configuration

    Display issue with 9400GT thru S-Vid

    so, changing the resolution to match the sony on the other screen before switching didnt work? but it worked before you put it to the plasma? that rules out the cable got anything else to test the svideo on? always a possibility the card could have screwed on that port

    Acer aspire, which graphics card can i get?

    no offense, but i really dont think you should be giving out any advice just yet. you should still be learning right now there are tons of laptops that can play todays games, they just arent cheap. aspire ones having old processors? just because they come with processors from 2008 or so does...

    4890 vs 5850

    idk man, im playing bc2 maxed in 1080 around 75 fps with my 275.... so if mine can do that pretty well, the 285 will do it better, and the 5850 poops on it. how could someone NOT be pleased with the performance of a 5850?

    Laptop Broken, want to fix it myself
