Yesterday there was a Windows XP update asking me to restart to install it. I just kept hitting restart later so I continue on with what I was doing. After coming back in the morning I found that my computer would start up, go past the mobo startup screen, but then after that and a screen...

Yea, unfortunately my budget doesn't allow for it. Being a student ftl. Found a video review of my particular PSU, and the newegg page for it here: Newegg.com - ENERMAX Whisper II EG565P-VE FMA(24P) 535W ATX12V Ver 2.0 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Power Supply - Power Supplies. The video...

Just wanted to get a few opinions of the following upgrades here for the system that's in my sig: Motherboard, ($137.31) Gigabyte GA-EP41-UD3L ATX LGA775 Gigabyte GA-EP41-UD3L ATX LGA775 [dv-MGI100] - $122.05 : UEC Digital Store, The Art of E-commerce Graphics card, ($305.00) XFX Radeon HD...

I suppose I'll save up $500-$800 then see how I go then. Cheers for the help guys, really appreciated. :)

So would I be better off saving up more to upgrade my CPU aswell as my graphics card? I was hoping to be able to just throw something like that 9800GT without any bottlenecking happening, but if it is likely to happen then changing my CPU aswell would mean upgrading my mobo too wouldn't it...

Been a little while since I've been keeping up with tech these days, so I thought I'd ask you fine folks here. :) I built my PC around 2-3 years ago, and it's getting a little slow. At the moment I have around $200-300 NZD to spend, and I imagined that a new graphics card would help me get back...

Having some trouble with a newletter sign-up form on my father's website I'm helping him on. Affiliatestwo-AffiliatesTwo Home Page In the pages in the Articles submenu there is a popup that will appear in the top right corner of the screen after four or so seconds. It seems that the form...

I personally use Macromedia Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I've heard Photoshop is better than Fireworks, and has more features, but it's harder to get use to.

Nevermind, fixed. :)

I'm trying to fix my sister's friend's computer, and when I go into the first stages of installing the XP OS, selecting the partition to install to, then waiting for it to install at that "blue screen" stage, it then says that it needs to reboot. It counts down from 15 seconds, and then it...

Is it? I got those two items from a computer magazine, they say they're compatible in their plans.

Ah ic now, thanks for the in-depth explanation. :)

Yeah, I've suggested things like that to her, but her budget doesn't allow for that, her being a university student and all. Just another question while the board's here, installing a C2D cpu is the same as installing an Athlon one? Can still use that Artic Silver paste on em?

Hi, I've build a few Athlon rigs before, but never an Intel rig. An Intel newbie of sorts. :p I'll be building a rig soon for a friend of my sisters, and just wondering if all of these would be compatible: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300, 1.86GHz, LGA775, Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 Intel P965 Western...

Looks alright if you're goin with AMD. I would get a different mobo though, you don't need to spend extra money on a SLI board if you aren't gonna use it. Then with the extra money, you should get a better case, that case you have there doesn't look to be of good quality.
