    Changing Keyboard Hotkey Functions

    The keyboard was OEM, and I can't find anything on BTC's site. There must be some program! Tried a few as seen in original post but they all failed..

    Changing Keyboard Hotkey Functions

    Sorry - perhaps didn't make my post clear there...the keys do work, they work fine actually (well, I think 2 are broken!) but I want to change what they do. Any ideas?

    Changing Keyboard Hotkey Functions

    Keyboard: BTC 9029URF III Wireless I want to change what the hot keys up at the top of the keyboard do there. Is there an application that will allow me to do this? I have tried a few, but whenever it says "Hit key combination" and say, I hit the key that is currently mapped for shut down, it...

    22" Widescreen

    I'm on the lookout for a 22" Widescreen. I've been looking into the 226BW! I have around £180 to spend - anyone have any ideas? The tricky part: I need one with a thin-ish border. I took a look into the DELL E228WFP, it looks great, but it only has 16.2 comparedto 16.7 million colours - would...

    RAID or not?

    It would be my primary drive and I'd install all my applications on it etc. 500GB is quite a lot to lose - so I am sort of leaning towards one of the single drives because it is both cheaper and less likelihood of failure. I appreciate both your inputs :)

    RAID or not?

    As a gamer, a small 74GB Raptor is just crippling me - so I have decided to sell it and go with some much larger disks. I do quite a bit of gaming (Battlefield 2, CM: DiRT etc). What solution would be best? RAID 0 2 x 250 GB Western Digital WD2500KS Caviar SE SATA300 7200RPM 16MB Cache Hard...

    Need a TV Tuner!

    I am using a WinTV PVR-350 (and have used a 250) on Vista. Works with the Hauppauge application (WinTV-2000) and also you can download drivers to allow it to work through Media Center. I love it!

    Second Monitor Issues

    Okay, I currently have 2 monitors: 1. DELL UltraSharp 1702FP 2. Sony TFT 17" Both monitors have the capability, and do, run at 1280 x 1024. Now, my UltraSharp (main monitor) works fine. However, my Sony one will stay on for maybe 5 minutes, and then go off - but with the LED still being...

    Memory during overclocking.

    Okay. E6400 / Corsair XMS2 PC2-6400C5 - here is what I did: Change FSB to 275 (original 266); RAM automatically jolts up to 825MHz (I think), so I put it down an option to 740MHz (I think); Change FSB to 285; Ram jolts up to 775MHz (I think); Change FSB to 293; Ram jolts up to 785MHz (I think)...

    Enabling programs on startup.

    I have a few programs that I need to run on startup (Vista, although if you have XP please tell me what you do and I'll work around on that!) It isn't in the msconfig list, and it is a standard .exe that I need to run. Any ideas on how this can be done? Thanks!

    What is the biggest factor for PC gaming?

    Don't heavily upgrade just one part - that will bottleneck the system.

    Rainbow 6 vegas TOO HARD!!!!

    As a gamer, I undergo many of these problems. But you have to realize just one thing: You are smarter than AI. There will always be a combination of things you can, you just haven't found which order you need to do it in yet. Whether it be: Smoke, Fire, Smoke, Fire or Fire, Smoke, Wait, Fire...

    Mac OS X Leopard. Hasta la vista, Vista.

    Read about it a few nights ago. I quite like the idea of multiple items dragged into the dock, and then it specifying itself into folders. Hasta la vista, vista? No! They still fail to do one thing that I need: Gaming power. I use Apple a lot, and even Boot Camp - but for upgradability (is...

    So that's what 128 gigabytes of RAM looks like ...

    The thing is, you're all going "wow!" but every home system will need that sort of stuff in < 10 years probably. Nonetheless, that's a lot of RAM DIMMs in that system!

    What motherboard do you have? Is your PC a pre-built DELL one (or anything similar)?

    2900XT With 1Gb of VRAM

    Yes, it's fantastic, but the 8800GTXs are better. As an ATi fanboy I don't want to utter those words, but it is the truth. If you really want, you can take a look at the 22 page VR-Zone review. However, new versions are coming out with a supposible R620 core - X2900XTX etc which should smoke...

    X2 4400+ - best air cooling solution?

    Your system is socket 939. Thermaltake, Zalman etc (all the big brands) make fantastic heatsinks for that socket. Just take a look on www.overclockers.co.uk! (or Newegg)
