It's never enough! 1 GB is never enough, specially when a lot of games nowadays require 1GB RAM as minimun. And I am sharing a portion of it?

My VRAM is pretty large and should not require any additional "shared" RAM to process visuals/data. True or False? When running games the VRAM stores data to process, does the RAM at the same time do the same with different data to process? If I decreased the shared RAM, would it leave...

If it's not "emergency" RAM, what is it exactly? And if I increase it will it help my graphics output?

That wouldn't make sense though. Would it? Allocating 512MB RAM from my total 1024MB RAM, that if the use is right, I would never use?

I have a 512MB Video Card, ATI Radeon X1600 to be accurate, and 1GB DDR400 of RAM. The AGP Aperture is the allocated size of "Emergency" RAM that would only be needed if I ever run out of memory in my Video Card, for what I understand. Since I have a 512MB Video Card: 1. Should I even worry...

Hey!!! Easy on my motherboard Clutch... I still love it just the way it is. Once again, as for pricing: Can anyone direct me to a PC shop where I can find a good price on a P4 3.0Ghz with HT?

Actually, I don't think my M/B will take a Core Duo. Specs max out at P4 3GHz and will take almost anything below that.

You're right about it not being a 526MB GPU, it's a 512MB ATI Radeon X1600. As for the Dual Socket 478... is that... for real? Even though I doubt it, please give me a link if it is! As for the price, everywhere I go around me it's around the $250 CDN mark. I live in Toronto, anyone know...

WOW! $90 USD?! I'll look into that. Thanks! Now, the thing is that I just upgraded my GPU (526MB Radeon AGP8x), bought more RAM (DDR400), and installed additional fans. If I get another M/B, my RAM and GPU would be useless... I can;t let that happen, so I want to invest more on my current M/B...

I want to upgrade my current P4 2.4GHz processor to a P4 3.0GHz HT processor. That is as much as my P4V88 M/B Socket 478 can take. (See my other specs below) Most games now have the 3.0GHz as recommended processing power, but is it a good investment for $250.00 Canadian? Will it pay off in...

What are the specs required to run the game?

Hardware: Here you go buddy, http://www.exadron.com/main/Products.htm There's tons of other places that offer this stuff, but keep in mind, usually the software is custom made to run through all processors. As for software, you'll have to dig deeper.

When a computer fails and you believe it's motherboard related, first thing to do is a little thing I like to call GTTMMN... ok, I just gave it the name now; it means: Get To The Motherboard Manual Now!!! Most of the times you are doing something the Manual would have told you not to do if you...

I might be wrong with this, but did anyone mention to him about upgrading his XP to SP2? Just wondering...

From Computing to Real Estate. Cool! (Touche)

I'm not saying you need to buy it to play games, what I am bringing up is the fact that PS3 offers much more than the Xbox360 does and to match it, you would have to dish out more cash. Let's do a Versus: PS3 vs Xbox360 60GB HDD vs 20GB HDD Built-in Wireless vs Add-on Wireless Built-in...

Wii Sorry Nintendo fans, you're out on this one because there's no competing! XBox360 + 60GB HDD Upgrade + 12-month Xbox Live Membership + Wireless Adaptor + HD-DVD Add-on $400.00 + $80.00 + $70.00 + 100.00 + HD-DVD? Total of $650.00 (without HD-DVD Add-on) PS3 with 60GB...

Which company do you think will be victorious in the Next-Gen War of the Consoles? But most importantly: why?

good points shadyi, very good points. I guess the importance relies mostly into what is upgradable and what is not due to space or other restrictions. For instance, the CPU and GPU are not upgradable (that I know of) but RAM is and as for HDD & DVD-W, you can always have them external. not bad...

What are the top 3 (plus a bonus) hardware specifications that a very good and lasting Laptop for essential work and entertainment use should have. My crucial specs would be: 1. RAM - The memory should be maxed-out, no matter what! 2. HDD - What is any computer without a large capacity Hard...
