Alright, I have sort of an issue here and I'll to try to explain it as detailed as possible. First off, I have a Sound Blaster Live! 24 bit in my desktop computer, hooked up to 5.1 surround sound using black, green, and orange cables. I have one plug free, which is the blue one used for Line In...

Have you configured your sound card for 7.1 surround sound?

You can just go to Best Buy or Circuit City and buy a crossover cable. Obviously it's more expensive to buy it than to make your own, but I bought mine. I have no idea how to make a crossover cable. Haha.

Components. Easy Processor: AMD 64 (they are labeled ML XX. XX = numbers), AMD 64x2 (probably your best bet), or Intel Core Duo (I never used it before, so I'm just throwing it out there.) Graphics Card: I'd go with nVidia since i've used them in all my builds. Get anything that is or over...

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-121-177&depa=0 that's a great card. It's new.

Hrm.... It WAS 270/280 I think. Then BFG OC'ed it to 290/400. Now, its 310/400, and it's not stuttering that much at all. Thanks guys for all of your help. Oh, I created a new partition and I installed all of the drivers, and it stuttered. So yeah, but now it's doing pretty well. Thanks to...

Nope, didn't help at all. I'm going to call up NVidia for the last and final time to see what they tell me.

K I'm in Coolbits. I overclocked it and it STILL stutters.

Nothing on Bios There is nothing on my Bios that says anything about the clockspeed or settings for my video card. I tried to put the AA settings to off. There is a setting that is like "Forced Mipmaps" and there is "Off" "billinar" and "trillinar". I think that I spelt those wrong, but I think...

LoL. No, it doesnt require power. Like.. it doesnt have anything hooked up to it besides the agp slot. I have installed everything else. Service Pack 2 comes with the latest Direct X drivers. I have sound. =L All the video drivers are installed. I have a 250W power supply. I tried ubplugging my...

I think that I have figured out what the problem was. I forgot to install my chipet drivers. After I did that, I went to play Need For Speed Underground. On 800x600, I got about 60FPS. It was stuttering a bit though. When I changed it from 800x60 tp 1024x768, the frame-rate dropped from 60 to...

Tried Everything I have tried everything. Although, I did forget to disable and uninstall my Integrated Video. I did the whole install on my FX5500 over again. I went to Best Buy and I got the same card. Nvidia told me to take it back and get a new one. I did that, and it's lagging. I shouldn't...

Graphics card I lowered it to the stock settings. Well, Nvidia overclocked it to 290MHz and i believe that the regular FX5500 is 270MHz. But I did lower it to the factory settings. I called Nvidia and they told me to download the latest drivers and update the BIOS on my motherboard. I said ok...

They should be new drivers because I got them directly from Nvidia.com, and no I have not checked if they were old drivers.

CPU Overheating? Why would my CPU be overheating? I didn't overclock it. Nvidia overclocked my graphics card. It's FX5500OC. But I dunno. I'm confused.

Well, a slow computer could be numerous things: 1. Spyware/Adware 2. Little Memory 3. Low Hard Drive Space 4. Slow Processor And much, much more. As he said, windows doesnt load ALL your accounts. You could just have a lot of stuff running at once. In order to correct this problem, go...

I recently got the Nvidia GeForce FX5500 OC. When I was playing Need For Speed Underground and Halo: Combat Evolved, the game kept freezing evey 5-10 seconds. Does anyone know how I can stop the game(s) from doing that? I have tried to lower the settings and that didn't help. :(

What do you guys think is better? AMD or P4. In my personal opinion, I like AMD because I do a lot of gaming and they're cheaper than P4's.

AntiVir I don't like norton because it uses too many resources; thus the reason why I don't use it. But I like AntiVir. That's a decent (free) anti-virus program. I don't know the exact link as to where you can download it at, but I'm pretty sure that Google or some search engine will be able...

What do you guys think the best virus scanner is? I am currently using AVG Free Adition.
