Minor update on my situation. Upgrading to 2 gig of memory WinXP decided to tank and become unrepairable (never seen that before in my life) So, Decided to invest in a 320gig HD, 2 1gig DDR chips for 2gig RAM and a GeForce 6200OC ($49.99 :) ) So for $400 i did a few major ugprades which...

Yup - Memory will take me to 2gb - I always thought increasing the Page file would help performance - seems like XP uses this as a crutch too many times :) I dont have any PCIe - So its normal PCI in my system :( I am currently using a GeForce 5500 w/256meg ram. Hopefully by April/May of next...

Just cancelled the XPS700 and ordered a 1 gig memory upgrade for my PC :) Seems like with DX10 around the corner and Vista right now is not a good time to pump alot of cash into a high end system. This time next year probably :)

Im thinking you are right Andy - By October I would imagine the rig Im buying now will not be a top spec. Dell is new to this game and they have screwed up with the XPS700 launch. Next year will prob be a better time to sink my $$ into a rig with Vista being the default OS. Might be time to...

Thanks for your input - I do burn family videos so that is part of the equation. I try to buy high end pcs and hold on to them for 3-4 years. My current rig is a P4 3.0 HT w/256meg AGP4x card (GeFore 5000 series). It originally came with a 128meg 4400 series card - i wouldnt have updated it...

So, I was one of th e(un)lukcy folks who ordered a Dell XPS700 in late June. I prob wont see the machine until October now but I got a call from Dell today about changes to the config since I ordered. I originally asked for the: Dual 1GB NVIDIA GeForceTM 7950GX2 Which per Dell's website...

Folks, My company is trying to guage what hardware requirements will be needed to run Vista and Office 2007 when they come out next year. M$ has been pretty vague indicating that Vista will 'downgrade' to operate on any PC purchased within the last 2 years. The best I can guess on whats out...

So, Ive got this emachine PC hooked up to my 50" rear proj LCD Panasonic TV. Id like to get my DVD's on that PC and be able to play then through the PC. I found out yesterday that my PC has DVI port as does my TV - I got the PC/TV hooked up and boy what a difference! My questions are: 1...

Ok, I had given up trying to find something but came across the HP Photosmart 3310 MFP which has wireless, scanning, copier, fax and photo printer capabilities(5 color tanks and 1 black). Issues: 1. Appears to have no paper feed tray for copying? 2. Some reviews say the photo printing is...

I was starting to get that feeling the the MFP's dont scan very well. Does anyone know if the scanning/fax stuff works through the network connection - or does this only work for printing and the USB connection is required for scanning to PC?

Im ready to move on from my Canon 850i printer to a multifunction so I can clear some desk space (fax/scanner). I have a Printer Hub to use my 850i as a network printer (wired) on my LAN. Im looking for a Multifunction printer that can do the following: 1. Connect to a network either through...
