that doesn't specify phenom limits which i know it supports some, because it came with the 8400 2.1ghz phenom. Thanks for the info though

I bought an HP desktop awhile back and upgraded the power supply and video card, and I am looking at getting a new CPU before long to keep up with new games. I was wondering if any desktop phenom processors would be compatable or if my motherboard has limits on a new CUP. Specs should be in...

I have a 46" sony 1080p tv that i am using as a home theater pc. I have hooked up 2 different computers to it, one new desktop with hdmi, and one old laptop with vga. No matter the resolution, the image is blurry, even in full 1080p native, and using pixel match for any other resolutions to...

I hunted around on the board itself, and contacted HP, and someone, possibly on the forum checkup up on it and all methods came back without a port on the motherboard, although HP was little help if any. That is why I am thinking my best bet is tapping into the coax digital audio out. I can...

I have an EVGA Nvidia 9800gt with the spdif audio port to allow me to route audio throught the dvi port once connecting the dvi->HDMI adapter, but the motherboard that is in my HP tower doesn't have the 2 pin connector. Would I be able to splice a normal coaxial cable with my supplied 2 pin...

that was my guess, but couldn't find an official answer. Thanks for all your help.

I have an hp m8417c desktop and installed an EVGA Geforce 9800 gt video card in it. It came with a DVI to HDMI adapter, and a small cable to route the audio into the card to send it out through HDMI. i see the slot to connect to on the card, but don't see one on the motherboard. it is a tiny...

thanks, i will probably hold out since most games are still playable and get a new CPU in a year or so, maybe sooner if something like starcraft 2 comes out and needs it.

sorry, my sig didn't update, i have an EVGA Nvidia 9800gt and a 600w thermaltake powersupply

I bought this desktop from buy.com and threw in a new power supply and video card thinking it would keep up to date on games for awhile while keeping me sub $500 buget. Problem is I am not getting frame rates I was hoping for, even whe dropping quality down. I am playing Fallout3 on medium...

I was really hoping this was the case, and according to other forums and discussions I have recently looked up, ratings based on adding the 12V rails seems to be commonly accepted practice. I thought 312watts "12v*26a" was a bit excessive for this card, but didn't want to get everything opened...

If that is the case, that would be awesome. I will need to check up on that to verify. If that is the case, why would they specify different amp values if they could share them?

The specs newegg had listed just showed a required 400watt power supply, only when i checked EVGA's site did it list the amp requirements for the 12v line

I bought an EVGA GeForce 9800gt bundled with a 600w thermaltake power supply. Come to find out the card requires 26amps on the 12v rail and this power supply has 2 12 volt rails each only offering 14 and 15 amps which unless I am missing something are far under the required limits to run my...

I have an HP m8417c http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01420085&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#N308 full specs shown above. Basically, I am looking for a video card to go along with this computer and most of the cards I want have a minimum requirement of a...

My laptop just crapped out and I am looking for a new computer. I am looking for something cheap that i might throw a video card in later on to play some games. The buy.com one is a bit more expensive but i get $30 off for using the buy.com credit card, and the staples prices is going to have...

http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ as long as they are on the same network, they work like dual monitors but effortlessly jumps from 1 computer to the next

sure enough, you are right. I couldn't find an option to change the 3D setting on the old version, but on the new one which still had the problem, i was able to change it to using direct3d and it seems to work perfectly. Thanks for your help.

I have an HP laptop with a Nvidia Geforce go 7600, and while it isn't the fastest thing out there, i can play Team Fortress 2 at close to max, and plenty of other games at reasonable quality, but awhile back i tried a 2d physics sandbox type game called phun and it looked quite odd. I played it...

microsoft flight simulator and other flight simulators allow you to cutomize multiple screens. You can set them up like front and side windows, or have window and control panel, or even front view and external view. Other than that, I don't know of any multiple momicrosoft flight simulator and...
