    Laptop desktop icon spacing...

    I managed to move them closer to eachother not by way of the advanced menu but by dragging them closer to eachother. it was like their was a empty space between each icon it just didnt look like it cause they were already so close. because of that i was able to get them closer however now there...

    Laptop desktop icon spacing...

    So i have a XPS gen 2 and im trying to get the desktop icon spacing right. at first they were kinda large when i got the laptop and i realized the dpi in the video setting was set to Large size (120dpi) instead of normal size (96) dpi. So i changed it and it fixed it for awhile but now i havent...

    Horizontal Lines on screen while gameplay

    well its not a lcd monitor. its a crt. not sure if thats what you meant or not. the lines are more like a distortion id say. its only when gaming seemingly when the cards in 3d mode and fans at 100%. even right after i exit game there still there and then seemingly when the card drops back to 2d...

    Horizontal Lines on screen while gameplay

    I just got an apollo 6800. these lines ive noticed in call of duty 2 and and ghost recon advanced warfighter. only seem to be noticeable when you look at the sky. horizontal lines that keep moving up and down. even when i kill the game while the card is still in 3d mode i assume i can see the...

    will this cpu cooler fit?

    why not? really though i thought it had lots of features and good reviews, and all for 141$ i dont see another motherboard beating it with all the same addons and such. i am interested though. if you have a suggestion or any reason that it would be a bad choice.

    6600GT or 5900 Ultra

    Well from the look at those benchmarks it seems the 6600gt wipes the floor with the 5950 and it even beats a 9800XT in almost all tests. Even at 128bit. thats amazing.

    What does 'backward compatible with 4x AGP slots 128MB GDDR3 memory' mean?

    i would assume you mean a card that has 128mb gddr3 memory. its just saying if you have a mobo with only 4x and not an 8x agp slot that it will still work with it.

    I thought agp was better

    Best bang for the buck and for awesome performance i would get the 9800 Pro 256bit 128mb ddr.

    6600GT or 5900 Ultra

    6600GT 128bit 128mb gddr3 or 5900 Ultra 256bit 128mbddr2 which card would you think is best. i cant find any comparisons of the two. The GT has faster core and memory clock speeds but its 128bit and although the nvidia card is slower it has 256bit which makes a big difference. any thoughts.

    9800pro need special power thing?

    Nope nothing special like that. just be sure the power supply is large enough to supply extra power to the video card. at least a good 350watt psu.

    5900xt or ati 9800 pro

    So then would going with a 6600 be a better idea since it better supports dx9? I cant seem to find any 256 bit versions of the 6600 however. just 128bit with gddr3. How bad could the 5900 really be with the 256bit interface. Its capable of being overclocked to about a 5950 ultra. How would...

    5900xt or ati 9800 pro

    So you would choose the 9800 just cause you like it better for whatever reason not specifically cause its ddrII over the 5900 xt's ddrI. one way or the other would you think in a game like doom 3 for example would that alone make much difference?

    5900xt or ati 9800 pro

    Im torn between spending 200$ on a 5900xt. or about 250$ for a 9800 pro. The nvidia has 128mb onboard and the ati card has 256mb which doesnt bother me its not going to be making the difference in performance. They are both 256bit. The core on the ati is 380 and the nvidia is 390. the memory bus...

    Video card question.

    yes you could get atleast 30 or much better with a 9800. a 1.3ghz isnt great but it will be fine.

    VDU overheating,

    so why dont you just call it a monitor. lol i have seen some people just mount 80 or 120mm fans on top of there monitor and have it blow air or pull air out through holes in the monitor casing.

    Radeon 9200 256MB AGP - please help

    must have been an engineering fluke ;) ...maybe im just to picky with games. if a game jumps at all it annoys the hell out of me so i notice even the slightest jitteryness or frame jumps, plus i cant stand running games at lower resolutions then the highest my monitor supports. lol :D
