I've been meaning to get a laptop for a while now but don't really have that much money. I was thinking of spending no more than $500. I mostly need it to surf the web, play a game here and there (nothing fancy), and do other daily tasks. I was looking at some laptops for $450 which I think...

You can search google for a dead pixel tester. Each site is a bit different, but most of them are good at detecting dead pixels.

You need at least 500W and 2 6-pin connectors. Your PSU is fine, but make sure you have 2 of those 6-pin connectors. Plus, the 4870 is pretty big so make sure you have enough room inside.

Alrite, thanks to both of you.

O btw, the size I mentioned above is for the 4850. The 4870 is a bit longer than that. It also needs 2 6-pin connectors while the 4850 only needs 1.

I found the size of the card: 220x100x16 mm So, its a little longer than 8.66 inches.

I have never used Rivatuner, but I do use atitool. I believe it supports nvidia cards. It shows gpu temperature and you can adjust fan speed as well.

Hi all, I am in the process of cleaning in inside of my pc. I was planning to take out the hard drive. By that I mean disconnecting it and taking it out so I can reach inside the case better. If I reconnect the hard drive, will I still have all of my data? I know that moving a hard drive to...

I say X1950 XTX

You could look at the manual/website if you remember the model of the PSU. Otherwise, just open up the case and the wattage should be listed on the side of the PSU. It only takes a few secs.

maybe your PSU isnt good enough to handle the 8600. I really cant help if you dont post all of your pc specs (motherboard and PSU mainly).

If I understand correctly, you want to run 3 monitors with 2 different graphics cards. you can't run 2 different video cards like that. use only one or the other. I don't see why you would want to use the 5200 when you have a 8600. just use 2 monitors for the 8600.

get 8800GT since its the best bang for your buck right now. it beat the GTS and comes fairly close to the GTX from the benchmarks that i've seen. you can use it with xp but on games, you won't be able to enable the DX10 features. you will need vista for that.

o snap, ur right. it does come out today. maybe you just have to give it more time. i hope they haven't pushed it back again.

uninstall drivers and try a fresh install. your PSU shouldnt be a problem since 500W is good enough and minimum PSU required is 400W if im not mistaken.

from my experience, restarts usually mean overheating of the cpu. you should check your cpu temps just to make sure its running at a nice temp. im not sure what the best program is to do that but im sure someone here can help you out or you can google it. meanwhile, you might wanna check out cpu...

you need to make a profile for your OCed clocks. make sure ATItool starts up with windows. and then in options>startup, make atitool load your OC profile at windows startup.

an LCD. my old pc has a CRT and i hate how much space it takes up. plus LCDs are much better.

ya ut3 is really fun. it has the same fast paced UT gameplay but this time with really good graphics. the demo only had a few graphics options (resolution, texture and world detail) so i dont really know how fully maxed out settings look. btw, that gun in the screenshot is a link gun. it looks...

ur pc looks fine to me. i dont see what u really need to upgrade. the only i would do is OC the processor if u havent done it already. other than that, it looks fine for light gaming. video conversions and backups are gonna take long depending on file size, etc so u can't really do anything...
