Hello, I'd appreciate any help/information on ADSL and public IP addresses. What I need to do is the following: the ADSL router should connect to my ISP but my public static IP address shouldn't "stay" on the router but should be assigned to the only ethernet card connected to the router (1 PC),...

I want to buy a laptop pc for two very specific purposes: 1 - I would like to transfer home movies to dvd (so need a firewire port, large-ish hard disk and a DVD writer). 2 - I want to make music, mostly fairly conventional sampling & recording of live music but I would like to be able to use...

I have the nVIDIA GF 4 MX 440 video card, and was keen to purchase the new prince of persia game, but stated game requirements indicated a geforce 3 or higher card was required EXCLUDING the geforce 4 mx 440. Does anyone know why this would be - i was told anything geforce 4 should be able to...

ok, I'm looking to buy a new computer. I'm most likely gonna buy it from http://www.centrecom.com.au. I live in Australia so those are Australian dollars. Now the main use of the computer will be for school. The most demanding programs will be Adobe Premiere and 3d studio max. I will also want to...

first off I'd like to thank everyone in advance for their tips. My budget is somewhere around $1500 give or take. I want mainly a gaming machine, but I plan on getting a digital camera later though. Here's what I was looking at so far: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3400. Is it better to get OEM or...

Does any one know what is the best affordable security system? What I have in mind is, a simple motion triggered system that records for 10 or 15 minutes after it is triggered., for as long as there is someone movement in the room. I can record to a regular VHS system or to a hard drive. This is...

I just got a used ge-force 4 ti4200 agp graphics card. I think it is capable of 8x agp transfer rates. My motherboard is a Shuttle an35 - the bios has an "enable 8x agp" mode that I do in fact have enabled. However, the only way I know of to check the transfer rate is with Sisoft Sandra which...

I've heard different stories about AGP and PCI-E...some say AGP is better and faster...others say that PCI-E is better... The question is: what is the truth? How much, if any, performance increase would you see over identical cards, one being AGP and the other being PCI-E?

We're looking for AGP Cards that are going to be around for a number of years. The systems are being built with the notion that in five years we can purchase the same AGP card, so the drivers don't have to change. I have priced some of the industrial AGP cards from Advantech and American Predator,...

I'm trying to upgrade the video on an old motherboard. It has a 2X AGP slot. Will just any AGP 2X-compatible card work? Thanks. tf

Can anybody tell me what is the top mode spec for AGP just now?

I have a motherboard that supports AGP *4 graphics cards, can i use a 8* AGP card that will just run slower ,or are they incompatable.I would be very grateful for a responce. Thankyou.

Possibly a stupid question. I've got an eMachines D2244. 2.2 Intel Celeron, 256mg DDRRAM, 40GB Ultra ATA/100. Up til now, I've been using the onboard "Intel Extreme Graphics 82845G" that it came with. Now I'm toying with the notion of getting a real graphics card. But I'm not sure if I have an...

Hello World, When I boot my XP box with an AGP Video Card installed, it will lock up at the XP boot process. Screen stays at the Windows XP splash screen that has the little progress bar beneath. If I remove the card and connect the monitor to the on-board vga, it works fine. I have tried two...

I know this is probably a silly question, but are graphics cards such as geForce and Radeon and such also considered video capture cards, or is this something different. I read an article today that made me think they were different things when I had been assuming it was the same. Thanks in...

I just bought an ATI Radeon 9600 video card that uses AGP 8x. When I tried to put the card in my machine I noticed the card doesn't fit into the AGP slot. Is there a different slot type for newer (8x) video cards? Thanks.

Hi, summer 2003 me and and 2 friend discussed the fact that Microsoft runs a big number of hidden programs, so called services, on your mashines. Some services are needed, however many of them just slow down your mashine and are a potential security problem. The guys are M.Sc. in Engineering and...
