    Shader 3.0 Required

    I installed the game tonight, and I can't play it, even on the lowest settings. What video card do you recommend? I don't want to spend a lot of money on a video card. My computer specs are:

    Shader 3.0 Required

    I want to play Ghostbusters: The Video Game. One of the system requirements is Shader 3.0. I have an ATi Radeon HD 3300. Will it work, or do I need to upgrade? My PC exceeds all the other requirements.

    I have the same motherboard and CPU as you. I updated my BIOS fine using the @BIOS software. I installed it from the CD that came with the motherboard. Try selecting a different server to download the BIOS update from too. Their website says: #1. If the file that you select does not exist...

    Review This Build

    Should I change anything this time? I looked up the Samsung hard drive (below) on this site, and it's faster than the Western Digital Black edition. I picked out a good PSU, but then that guy posted a modular one with the same specs. :D Will I notice the difference if I swap to the cheaper...

    Review This Build

    I have a question about Hyper Transport. The CPU says "3600MHz" and every motherboard on newegg I've seen says "2600MHz" or less. Does that mean that the CPU will be running 1000MHz slow?

    Need Help Choosing CPU

    I'm not really stuck on AGP. It's just that I RMAed an AGP video card yesterday (BFG Tech 5500 FX OC), and if I buy an AGP motherboard, I won't have to buy a video card. I thought it would save some money. I looked up the price of RAM, and surprisingly, DDR-400 is about the same price as...

    What do you think?

    I'm trying to build a future-proof, long lasting family computer. Just something that's great for multitasking and will last a long time. I'd like to be able to play RuneScape, Adventure Quest: Worlds, watch youtube videos, and have Instant Messenger running all at the same time without lag...

    Need Help Choosing CPU

    I need a replacement CPU and motherboard for a broken computer; however, the selection available is very small since it's older technology. I will be reusing all the parts that work. (DDR-400 RAM, EIDE hdd, 500 Watt PSU, DVD-ROM, and case). It needs to cost about $200 or less, but I'm not sure...

    Access my old HD

    You need to take ownership of the folder(s) and file(s). :) http://support.microsoft.com/kB/308421 To do this part, you open windows explorer, click tools, folder options view, and uncheck the check box at the very bottom of the list.

    Computer won't start after moving it from table to the ground.

    I think that when the power went off, the computer was in the process of copying important files from the CD to your hard drive. So, when you turned it back on, it's trying to boot to a partially installed / corrupt version of Windows Vista 64 bit.
