Someone tell me... will this adapter plug into the iBook "Video Out Port"? http://www.superwarehouse.com/Apple_Video_Adapter_Mini-DVI_-_to_Mini-DVI/M9321G_A/p/386005 I have a cable that came with my iBook. It looks almost exactly like the one in the link, except it is "Apple Video Out Port"...

I have the two rigs in my signature... a desktop and a laptop. I've been at university for the last 8 months and haven't had too much time to think about stuff. I just got the laptop in November 2005 for more use in class and such. As you can see, my desktop machine was kind of built as a...

I recently got my first SATA drive, previously I've only owned ATA100. Before installing, I had to update my BIOS for compliancy with SATA hard drives.... So I did that and instaleld the drive. However, now whenever I boot up the system hangs at the BIOS splash screen for about 3-4 MINUTES...

I recently got a new 200gb Seagate SATA drive and I had a bit of trouble getting it hooked up and working properly. I couldn't get my board to recognize it.. it wouldn't show up in the BIOS, it wouldn't show up in My Computer under Manage... etc. Turns out I needed a new BIOS update, so I got...

Okay, here's my issue. My system is as stated in my sig, except I just bought a 200GB Seagate SATA hard drive. I have it plugged in, the SATA cable is connected to my motherboard, and the power is connected to the PSU. I have tried to install the VIA Raid drivers, and anything else that...

Hey guys, I'm thinking of buying a 2405fpw in the future, probably in the spring/early summer. However, I'm kind of worried about whether or not my 6800GT can run the monitor acceptably. I'm not that interested in running these nuts games now like Quake 4, FEAR, and whatever other games are...

Hello, I've been out of the loop for a couple of months and am thinking about upgrading my PC desktop a bit. Mainly the CPU, motherboard, ram and harddrive. I would really love to keep my AGP 6800GT as it is a very able card an it will last me for a long time. It's less than a year old and I...

I am having an intermittent problem with Counterstrike Source and my 6800GT. Sometimes when I'm playing the game will just freeze out of no where. The video and audio of the game both freeze and nothing responds. I know this can't be a CPU issue because my music from iTunes continues to play...

Hey [H]ers, I've been out of the loop for a few months. Anyways I've been having a little problem with my 6800GT. When I play videos or movies (normally .mpg's, sometimes .avi's) the video intermittently stutters/skips from time to time. The sound stays clear, but the video skips. I know it's...

http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=23515 No more bad contrast, no more poor viewing angles, should be cheaper to buy, no dead pixels, no backlight leakage/issues, etc. I can't wait! My BenQ will be out the door.

I have nothing to spend money on this summer, so I was thinking at the end of the summer I might pick up an old iBook off ebay for $300-$500 Canadian. There are quite a few ones in this price range, most are between G3 500mhz and G4 1ghz. I was wondering, how much ram would I need if I just want...

Okay, my specs are in my sig. I am wondering if I actually need a new power supply or not. 350w Enermax powering quite a bit. I can get a 485w Enermax with dual 12V rails but I'm not sure if I need it. I haven't really experienced any power issues, my machine used to randomly reboot during games...

I bought a Benq 19" 937S LCD back in January. I'm already getting a bit anxious to hop into a new monitor, maybe sell this one on ebay as it has some minor backlight issues, it has all the annoyances of a TN panel, and a single dead pixel. What is on the horizon for a good 20" or larger wide...

I have it narrowed down to... Asus K8N-E Deluxe DFI Lanparty UT 250GB MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Which is the best S754 overclocking board? And is this RAM good for overclocking? (ie: around 230-240mhz or more) http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13672&promoid=0

I have a weird problem with my computer (specs in sig). Sometimes when I'm playing Counter-Strike: Source, I need to minimize to manage my downloads, respond to an instant message or something. So I push ctrl+esc and minimize CS:S. Then when I go to maximize my Limewire window, my computer...

I'm just wondering where else I can use my iPod. I haven't used it in a few days, usually I just use it on my free periods during school. Where else do you guys use them?

Both are 90nm SOI, exact same specs from what I gather on AMD's quick reference guide. Except the Venice runs at a variable voltage (max temp of 65C) where the Winchester needs 1.40V (max temp of 70C). What exactly are the advantages of the Venice core over the Winchester?

Hey guys. I'm looking for a printer for university next year. It doesn't have to be anything super. I just want one that prints relatively quickly (inkjet stil lthough), can print color photos decently (but I'm not expecting lifelike photo printing), and ABOVE ALL, a printer that doesn't need...

I'm currently sitting in a Athlong 64 3000+ S754, and a Asus K8V (crappy VIA K8T800 chipset). I'm wondering what you guys think my next upgrade on CPU/mobo should be. I was thinking maybe the Dual core, but when are they coming out, and is it really necessary? What are the beneifts, will it...

I have been having several minor internet troubles. I'll briefly go over them. 1. Programs like BitTorrent, Ares and sometimes Limewire often freeze my internet connection, and sometimes the rest of my computer. 2. The new MSN Messenger 7.0 sometimes lags when someone send me a message, and...

In "MY Computer" XP is detecting a non-existant optical drive. I have a D: cdrw and F: DVDrom, hoever it is showing an E: which should not be there. In control panel it calls it a AXN SCSI drive or something, and by uninstalling it in the Control panel it gets rid of the E: icon in My Computer...

I cannot comprehend why my rig gets such low FPS on CS:S. I mean I already have an Athlon 64 3000+, 1GB DDR400, 6800GT and a 4mbps Cable modem. In cs_office for example, on a full 20 person server my framerates can drop into the 20s/30s at times. (That's at 1280x1024, all settings on high, and...

I don't think they've really decided between OLED, SED, FED, etc etc yet. But how long do you think it will be before all these new technologies come out, and how much better will they be than current LCDs?

Wondering if anyone get's solid framerates above like 70fps no matter what in cs_office on a 20 person or more server. If you do, post your specs and settings please! I'm trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my system, as my FPS dips into the 30s on that map (namely by the CT...

Well, I jumped on the Athlon 64 bandwagon fairly quickly last July. And some people have been telling me that having a S754 rather than a S939 is impeding my performance in CS:S. As in, my S754 chip is responsible for my slow downs on certain maps and such. Is this true? And if so what should...

I recently bought a 6800gt (running at 410mhz/1100mhz), and my framerates are kinda low in CS:S. Also, my game sometimes freezes, and my computer restarts during CS:S gameplay. Would a new PSU stop my computer from freezing like that? Also, would a new PSU help my framerates? (I know...

Sometimes when I'm playing CS:S my game will just freeze. The in game sounds will stop and everything will stop, including the net_graph 3 and everything. Sometimes after a few seconds the computer reboots also. I'm 90% sure that this is due to my PSU not supplying enough power to the video...

I was wondering if anyone knows the actually noise level spec on this fan system. I've been looking around for after market coolers (NV Silencer 5, and the Zalman VF700), which have sound ratings of 0.9sone and 18.5dBA respectively. I was hoping someone could give me a noise level in dBA of...

Here's my situation... Sometimes in CS:S, my old Enermax 350w gives out and causes a reboot. Likely because my 6800GT is trying to eat too much power. It may also be generally holding back the card, and if I ever want a new HD or something I'll need to upgrade anyways so I figure I might as...

This is only a minor problem, some small pieces of dust have got underneath the screen. Is there any way to get them out without messing up the machine?

I just bought a BFG 6800GT OC and installed it correctly (dumped old ATI drivers, booted in safemode and ran driver cleaner, then installed 71.84 drivers back in Windows). Okay, so that's all great. Temps coming out of install were around 68C GPU and 48C Ambient while idling. After...

I just got my BFG 6800GT and installed it. It's running at 75C on the desktop, and 47C ambient. That is way too high. I'm using 71.84 drivers, what can I do to lower my temperatures? I also have a low 3D Mark 2003 at 7008. And a low video stress test in CS:S at: 99.6fps at 1280 x 1024 w/...
