    Video Card recommendations

    Maxtor if Flight Sims are a priority get an nvidia over an ATI. I got into FSX just after I bought my 2 4850s and although they rock for everything else I'd probably get better results with a 9800 GTX maybe even just a GT. Ask about on some Flight Sim specific boards they will be able to explain...

    P5Q-E Memory issues

    I found that you need to manually set all the ram timings. The P5Q-E sets all the secondary timings too tight (in my case anyway). I searched around and found MushkinGreg's timings for my ram and board and compared them to the numbers the board selected on auto and there was quite a difference...

    text won't display right

    When I bought my 22" she asked for my 19" widescreen LG so that she could give her 19" 4:3 to a friend to replace his 17" 4:3. We switched and I ended up with the 17" (Metro VGA only) she is thinking of going to the 17" and giving me back the LG. I wish I could afford to get her a 22' but my...

    text won't display right

    It's strange but all the same internal parts provided great text at any resolution before the reformat. My mother is a facebook junkie and of course she got infected with the zlob virus. I decided to reformat rather than fight it. The comp is an HP AMD and I had put XP on it because she hated...

    Samsung monitor

    That's a pretty popular monitor. Good price to performance ratio, normally. The price shown in that link is a bit steep. Wait until they have it on sale which is quite often or search out a price match. I bought mine for $230 from NCIX not long ago. There is a bit of back light bleeding at the...

    text won't display right

    I just did a reformat on my mother's comp. XP is the operating system. She is using a 19" widescreen and the native 1440x900 resolution makes the text too small. When we adjust the resolution to a lower one the text ends up looking like someone wrote it with a pen that is running out of ink...

    help picking a gaming/music sound card

    I can't personally compare it to the Auzentech as I've never heard one but I can definately recommend the Asus Zonar DX like Cptn Vortex above. My little Logitech speakers, Sennheiser headphones and low/mid range Paradigm home speakers all sound good. It also adds 3D sound back into games...

    Post Your Desk

    I have about 30% of the books you have on your shelves there Cranky. I'm reading through Mission Earth again for about the 4th time. Haven't read it in about 10 years and I've run out of unread books here. It's still hillarious. I just picked up Confessor from the Sword of Truth series but...

    Posting so you can laugh at me.

    I expect to be the fragged not the fraggie but we'll see. I'm a very slow typer and I look at the keys so any real time on line communication is best done with a Mic for me. I'm not being too hard on myself. I wasn't in the greatest mood trying to figure it out but the instant I saw the mute...

    Posting so you can laugh at me.

    So I spent the better part of the last 12 hours re-installing Vista and configuring everything. Things on the comp had gotten pretty screwy due to me doing mean things to it so I thought a fresh install would be a good idea. Everything was going along just swimmingly until it came to the sound...

    Thread crapping clean-up, explained...

    I'm quite proud of the fact that the general tone of HWC is welcoming to both compete newcomers to the hardware scene, and to more knowledgable folks who might be tired of the constant confrontations on some other sites. Can I have an Amen brothers?
