    password protected folder

    i think you can (if you have winzip) just right click the zipped folder and choose to encrypt or password protect. you might have to go right-click->properties though.

    Video card 'skipping'?

    I posted something about my comp 'skipping' on games and some videos (almost like lag except in single player too...there would just be big blips in keyboard and mouse movement). I don't know if it is the card though, because it doesnt always do it, but it's incredibly annoying. Would that...

    Gaming pc for under 1000K...how's this?

    How to 'enable' fans?

    My system has been running a tad hot, so I opened up the case to see what was going on in there. i noticed that at least three of my five fans were not even spinning. is there a way to 'enable' them with software? I'm not even sure if they're plugged in right since the bios only lists three...

    How safe are lan parties?

    lol. good idea :) i'm not supposed to even game on this pc since my parents basically donated it to me for business work (i got to configure parts). i don't want to screw anything up either, since they payed for it

    How safe are lan parties?

    i thought about having everyone run adaware SE and spybot S&D before we start...that might be too much though. i'm not sure if it's going to happen, the parents seem pretty set.

    even if you don't want to build, i wouldnt buy alienware. Not only are they wayyyy overpriced, i've heard that their pcs are really buggy. Check out some place that allows you to select everything yourself, like cyberpowerinc.com or monarchcomputer.com. I would definitely recommend monarch...

    games i will be able to play?

    you can play some newer games if you have them set on 1024x768 or lower and on low settings (doom 3, hl2, etc.). You're memory is the only thing that's holding you back. if you upgraded to a dual channel (2x512mb or 2x1gb) you could play better (higher framerates with higher graphics detail).
