    Point to good prices in Toronto

    Who knows the best places to get good prices on computer parts in TO? I've done some purchasing in a store called InMax, but I've seen some pretty good deals in Canada Computers once in a while. Does anyone know any other places? I'm looking to upgrade my PC a bit more and wanted to get...

    Need help with video card/monitor setup for Film Editing

    1. Your RAM is as good as mine, you shouldn't have a problem. 2. It's alright to be a noob. I am too and admit it. That's when the help and learning comes in! You can check the resolution of the footage when you capture it to your hard drive as well as when you import it onto Premiere. 3. & 4...

    Shadow of the Colossus Item Questions

    Out of complete ignorance, I'd say "...more grievous injuries..." is a lot harder then "...deeper wounds...". Man... I gotta get back to that game and get my hands on those items.

    PCI-e to AGP

    Wouldn't that adapter really mess up the backplate positioning on the case?

    Canadian I need your advise

    I'm no networking professor, but this is my story. I had Bell and had great pings, but then I moved I managed to get even better pings, because apparently i am closer to a major node.. or something like that. So I guess it depends on location. You've got great pings anyways bud. Anything...

    Need help with video card/monitor setup for Film Editing

    I use a little of Adobe Premiere and, like Adobe After Effects, it relies a lot more on actual RAM for image processing than the Video Card. Even for previews. Now I have the following questions for you to help you determine what you really need, because maybe you're ok with what you have...

    Can't Burn CD-R In XP

    I think you're right, the Nero installation might have done it. I'm glad I could help. Enjoy your straight-from-XP-file-burning!

    Can't Burn CD-R In XP

    Go to "My Computer" and right click on Drive D and select "Properties", From there go to the "Recording" tab and check mark "Enable CD recording on this drive". That should do it!

    Onboard Sound demands from CPU?

    I know I can always trust in an OMEGA post. I've heard of X-Fi's, apparently they are pretty much up there when it comes to video cards. I'll be looking into that, but will most likely stay within the lower to mid ranges. Thanks again OMEGA! Anyone else has anything to suggest or did OMEGA...

    Onboard Sound demands from CPU?

    I have a game that is crashing due to sound issues and I had to lower my sound hardware acceleration settings just to be able to play it. Does onboard sound demand processing power from the CPU? If I got a PCI Sound Card would overall computer performance improve? I'm looking into Sound...

    Why does my CPU max-out at 50~52%?

    It's not dual-core, it's just Hyper Threading. The thing is that both HT read outs seem to be at 100%, but the total load reads at 50% and Kernel at approximately the same, that's what I don't understand. Does it mean that my CPU is being underused for some reason?

    Why does my CPU max-out at 50~52%?

    Read specs below. I'm running Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and my CPU reaches maximum (meaning computer responds much slower) at 50~52%, but my earlier CPU P4 2.4 non-HT maxed out at a 100%. Does this have anything to do with Hyper threading? Is there any setting that can fix this?

    What vid card should i buy? ..this is urgent.

    I got the Sapphire Radeon X1600 512MB AGPx8 and I am very glad I did the purchase. I play FEAR, BF2, DOOM3, QUAKE4... and a little Leisure Suit Larry (i know, i know, what am i doing?) in High Resolutions with a steady minimum 30 frame rate (1099 fps on LSL of course). I recommend it.

    Looking to upgrade my cpu.

    Of course, if your m/b can take it. I didn't look at ur m/b CPU support list.

    Looking to upgrade my cpu.

    Bud, I upgraded my P4 2.4 to a P4 3.0+HT and it made a pretty good difference. In your case, I wouldn't be surprised it makes a huge difference. Games play different (loading screens are faster and animated differently) and applications work faster as well (printing used to slow down my Windows...

    Hitman Blood Money... reboot issue

    I wasn't arguing with you, we posted at almost the same time. I never saw the post previous to mine. And yes, you are right about the no-CD cracks.

    Hitman Blood Money... reboot issue

    cd cracks are legal, but no, i have an original version. i bought my game with the 1.2 patch already applied to it. and i found what the problem was... sound card acceleration i adjusted the dxdiag.exe sound acceleration settings down to basic, since i am running onboard sound, and it worked...
