    Want to upgrade one thing in my PC and see improvement

    So I just found out that in another computer (which only has some components in it) there is a Nvidia nforce 680 SLI motherboard. Would this likely help with the speed?

    [Urgent] My Monitor Turns On But Nothing Is Being Displayed [Urgent]

    What video card is it? I had the same problem with an AMD Radeon HD 6670 from iBuyPower, and it turned out the card was defective. It worked right out of the box, left it for a couple days, and when I come back suddenly no picture displays on the screen. It sucked to find out that it was true...
