I don't know what headers or sata is. It was an off the shelf PC I got in 2004 with just the one drive in it, so I imagine the HDD is programmed to start with XP automatically. I don't care about speed so much as just having more space. I could go just buy a new 2 TB drive, sure, but I have this...

I had a WinXP PC from around 2004 that died some years back. I now am using a Win7 PC but the HDD is getting full. I salvaged my XP system's HDD and would like to add it to my current Win7 computer, but I'm not sure how to do this or if it would even work. Is there going to be a conflict of my...

The 960 came out January 2015 and I got mine December of that year. It is two years old now, but it's only one rung below the the current newest 1000 series. Before I bought it I did research and it was a very well regarded card, not top of the line but also not trash and every source said it...

I'm going to try to give as much information as I can here but to be honest I'm completely in the dark and don't know what's going on. I have my main PC (win7 connected by cable to Comcast modem) and it has internet and all the modem lights are working. I have two older PCs both with Windows XP...

Oh :( Okay, thanks for the head's up before I tried it. I'm going to mess around with my TV settings and see if I can find something that looks nicer, like lower the sharpness maybe. I mean it's not BAD, it's just... different. Because I have a 32" screen I set like 6 feet back so it's a...

Thanks, but it's not really what I'm looking for. Anyway I got my new card now and have it connected via HDMI and honestly I hate how it looks. Everything is much more grainy looking. I think this is the reason why I chose VGA over it two years ago. Is there a fix for this, or a setting I can...

****EDIT**** Okay I just got mine to work. No guarantee it's a cure for everyone, but after 3 hours of fiddling with settings and re-installing drivers I got mine to register. Basically I found this guy's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RIDcLUpWaU He walks you through manually...

I know, that's not really what I'm asking. I can get 1080p to work no problem, I'm just worried if I get an old PC game from 1996 that doesn't run in 1080 and instead uses god knows what (just throwing a number out since I have no idea what games then used) 400x200 then regardless of what...

Yeah it works with all those as far as TV signals go. I'm just worried how low a res it can support for PC. Like the 800 x 600 I know for sure can be displayed (thought it has faint horizontal lines scrolling from top to bottom). It sounds like that's still higher than 480p, right? Would...

I have my PC hooked up to a 1080p LED 32" TV by Sharp. Everything looks great, but it was kind of a budget buy ($200) and only later on did I find out it is somewhat limited in what resolutions it's capable of displaying. I can hook a PS2 up to it and it'll display, but if it has to emulate a...

I never bought a video card before or even had a PC that had one in it before, but I'm looking to buy one now and I just now learned you have to connect your monitor to the video card port instead of the motherboard one that I've always used before. The problem is I still use VGA cables and I...
