Hey I was just curious what it meant when Windows says that the system is running out of virtual memory???

uhhh... Wow guys....seriously you need not to be so biased against macs. I work at CompUSA so I sell both PC's and Macs, and also I own both a built pc and a Powerbook 15 inch...and I have to say that the mac is awesome. Surely the mac is an inferior gaming machine as compared to the raw power...

For some reason whenever I try playing a DVD on my computer, the picture quality is horrible. It plays the DVD but the colors or all warped as if someone played with my color/hue/saturation settings or something. I use to watch movies all the time and never had this problem...but now and all of...

Sound cards are generally becoming obsolete because so many of the newer mobos have their own onboard audio. With that said, having a dedicated PCI sound card does in fact take some stress off of the cpu. Just grab a Creatve Labs Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS (about $70 from newegg.com, OEM...

Just a quick question...when it comes to reponse time, how does the ms system work? is lower ms better than higher ms??? (example, would 12ms be better than 25ms when it comes to gaming and general use??)

I'm thinkin probably the mobo with the NF4 chipset that supports SLi...At least for the features that come with it. SLi requires a lot of quality parts to run efficiently so you can expect mostly everything on a NF4 based mobo to be top notch. The ASUS A8N SLi Deluxe is a good choice if you'd...

I just recently purchased some new computer parts for my new gaming system (see signature for system specs). I bought a Maxtor Diamondmax 10 SATA HDD, and I also have 2 x WD 36.7 raptors. I have an ASUS A8N SLi Deluxe mobo which comes with 8 different SATA ports. I was wondering if you guys had...

I had the exact same problem...i had no clue which way to plug in my speaker/pled,reset,pwrswtch blah blah blah...all i noticed was that on one side of the connectors, there was an arrow, also labled KSP I believe?? what is that all about???

Just out of curiosity, is an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (939) considerably faster than a P4 3ghz proc? I plan on building a new system and I need to know roughly the performance boost...

The Bios that my mobo uses is Award BIOS...My mobo also came with "Hardware Doctor" which I think displays the voltages but I don't know what I am looking at, or I wouldnt be able to tell if something was off/wrong. Also I dont get the BSoD, my monitor just goes blank as if it were off or on...

Several months ago I had built my first PC and at the start everything seemed to be running fine. However, for the past few months I have been experiencing problems with crashes to my system not only during gaming sessions, but also during regular use (i.e. surfing the web etc...) My monitor...

The reason that the fans don't come threaded (allowing you to do it with the screws) is because of vibration control. They make the fan hole slightly smaller than the screws so that when you put them in, it will have a tighter fit thus cutting down on the vibration and movement of the fan, which...

I say go with the 6800 GT just from the 16 pipelines alone. I was dissapointed after I bought my 6800 non GT/Ultra because it only had 12 pipes. but anywho, you can even read in magazines that the GT is the better price:performance card when compared to the x800 pro...AND! the 6800 runs Doom 3...

As far as I know, I have distributed all the rails efficiently (at least I hope). I made sure that my 2 Raptors had their own rail connected with one Y-cable, my video card has its own rail, and both of my optical drives have their own rails. So how do I figure out if everything is getting there...

Ok one thing that I have noticed is that my computer stop responding after I am playing computer games and trying to run a 3dmark benchmark test, however I know for sure that it isnt because of my video card overheating...so what could it be???

Praetor is right, the power supply that comes with the Raidmax cases (a generic 420w that they make) are not quality. I replaced mine with a MGE 500 watt psu (not sure if its one of the better psu's but I know it's better than what was originally there) So if you go with Raidmax plan on getting...

the capacity is usually displayed right on the memory stick...

what do you mean by power configuration, and splitting the rails? (such a noob when it comes to power...), and speaking of power, how do I figure out if I have given all my computer parts the proper amount of power or voltage setting?

For some reason whenever I open up my case to make some adjustments (with wiring arrangements for a cleaner look) my system does not act right. I make sure that the wires are all plugged in when I'm done. When I boot my computer up, it gets to the windows login screen, but then once I type in my...

I prefer the Raidmax scorpio case. Its what I use and have no problems with it. Here is my case with a Half Life 2 mod fan grill...
