    3D stretch then normal

    Ya, Im not really sure what you mean either. If you try to explain it more, or use paint and highlight what you mean maybe we could help you better. Could be a server glitch or something where somethings poking out where it shouldn't??? Really not sure what your referring to though so...

    New monitor?

    If your looking for resolution and dont mind a crt I would just scan local listings like craigslist or something and fine someone handing the darn things out. Full Hi-Def resolutions on some of those 20+ inch crt's. If you need more "space" then go for the bigger 22" lcd or something of the...

    advise with hard drive upgrade?

    Western Digital makes nice solid hard drives so no worries there. As for whether to keep the 160gb as you main drive and have the 500gb be for media, that is really up to you. You can keep the 160 the way it is and just throw on any other data onto the 500gb, or you can make the 500gb...

    Question about buying WoW: TBC

    Just so you know, less they changed things recently, you only get the one month free when you pay for a month or use a game card. You have to pay for the first month, then they give you the extra month for free. Wow did this, Everquest, Eq2. Most pay to play mmo's do this. You dont really...

    Is GeForce 8400GS a good card?

    They Evga 7600 is a nice card for the price, and being an Evga it should apply to their step up program. Meaning you can "trade" it in for a newer better card within 90 days and simply pay the difference. :)

    DDR 2 ram??

    Here is some really nice PC2-5400 ram for you. Its 2 x 1gb not sure if you need 2gb but if your running dual channel the 2 x 1gb will run "faster" than just 1gb of this ram and whatever other memory you currently have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145167 Corsair...

    DVI cables

    Ya, the first cable you linked is fine. I worked at Best Buy (only for the discount lmao) and those 60$ cables you point out only cost me $5 so that cable you pointed out isn't crap, they just don't have a huge markup on it. Been on leave of absence from my surgery but they wont give me any...

    Parellels

    I installed paralells the other day on my Macbook without any issues. It wasnt an OEM copy though, so not sure if it has troubles with those. And if it crashes it has no effect on OS X. (If windows crashes that is, if paralells crashes for some reason or freaks out you might have to turn off...

    Is GeForce 8400GS a good card?

    I think what Omega is trying to say is that currently the 8600 can not run High end current games at full settings even in DX-9, so if you try to add all the extra things the card has to handle in dx10, it simply isnt going to be able to do all that well. And once you have to turn down the...

    Best Laptop Computer??

    Well, let me start off by saying welcome to Computer Forums. Stick around and I'll bet you'll learn a thing or two along the way :). First, we really need to know what kind of budget you are working with. You said you would like to keep it kind of cheap so that honestly takes out "the best...

    Monitors - Am i lame for not going widescreen?

    I love my 22" monitor. So much space. I can throw two essentially full windows up and be able to see everything. Really awesome for working on college papers and such. And the games are sooooo much more immersive. I fell outa my chair the other day playing fear on my 22 with my stereo...

    e6580 v q6600

    I would probably get the q6600. But im thinking about saving some money and getting an e6750 for like 100$ less and overclocking it to e6850 speeds. Not sure yet. Have to sell 2 laptops and 2 desktops first before i go running off and building another computer.

    File format problem

    Not to go and jump on anything but you can use alcohol 120% for completely legit purposes, just because many people do not should not justify a simple "here let me point out rule number one". Say I burn a DVD of my family get together. I can go back and rip an image of that disc into an .mdf...

    need help with upgrade processor

    Ya, you wouldn't be able to use an amd processor with that board. Also, im not entirely sure if you can use the P4 that you linked. I dont have time to look up what fsb your motherboard supports. The P4 has an 800mhz fsb whereas the processor your using appears to be 533mhz. So I cant say...

    I think I screwed up... (Partitioning)

    You can try contacting HP and seeing if they can send you a restore disc for it. Your supposed to make them yourself before you do anything but, they usually can get you one for the model, they might just charge you some. You should really read your manual about that second drive in the...

    Portabilaty.. PC laptop or Macbook?

    Ya, I def have to agree the new macs are a completely different species than the old macs. They are some awesome computers. If your a student mac has some great deals. I bought my macbook and got a free ipod nano, and a printer for free (after rebates, but those got back to me in...

    Portabilaty.. PC laptop or Macbook?

    Well Ive had my macbook for about a month now, and I hardly use another computer (well less I want to game) and I have like 7 computers with recent hardware. I love it. Its nice and small, not too incredibly so though. If you want a really small notebook then its prob not the one to go with...

    Raptor or CaviarSE16?

    You know your falling into a false sense of security with the external hard drive right? An external hard drive has the same faults and issues an internal hard drive has. Ya, the chances of both going at the same time are relatively slim, but you aren't really all that safe by just having...

    Upgrade or SLI?

    Having two 7600GS in SLi is pretty decent. If you look at my specs it is what i am running. I only got two of them because i got them for 40$ each...so price per performance was pretty damn good. My 3dMark06 score went from 2500 to almost 4800 before I overclocked my cpu. I was surprised how...
