Dual Processor

I'm building a new PC, currently looking to go for the Striker, but all the bad reviews and horror stories I've read are instilling quite a bit of doubt. Basically I'm wondering if most of the bugs of the Striker have been ironed out, or if its worth going for another motherboard? I've been...

With the advent of Vista on the horizon, we have yet another annoying onslaught by microsoft to drain us of more money and provide us with more frustration. As you can see, I'm not happy with Windows. I've had enough of this OS. I've been a windows user since 95 (I used to use os/2 warp 2, 3, &...

So I'm buying a pretty sweet sound system off my step brother for my computer. It connects from the amplifier to my computer via hdmi. The only HDMI ports I have on my computer are the mini hdmi's on my 480s. How would I go about outputting sound through my VGAs?

If I have a 5.1 or 7.1 soundcard, and connect all the sets of speakers in each appropiate plug, will Winamp or mediaplayer or whatever program use all the speakers, or will sound only come out of the front channels? Will only programs that have the setting of more than 2 speakers work? Or can I...

I've been looking into getting a new MB and had decided on a Gigabyte model when I read a article that the rumor was that NVidia's next gen graphics card was going to be a AGP 8X card. I also noticed a banner ad for a card made by Xabre called the Xabre400 which is also AGP 8X. My question...

Hello, how to clear hard drive password notebook SATA seagate ST9160821AS

Would there be any noticeable difference in performance between a Celeron 1.2 and an Athlon 1.2 using 256MB of cas3 PC100 memory (the motherboard only supports 100FSB)? I have been entertaining the thought of going for the Athlon 1.2, but with such strict memory limitations, I know I would not...

So, right now I have a Acer AL2216W. It's "okay" I guess. 22inch, bright, still no dead pixels, 1680 resolution. Anyway, I'm wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade a perfectly good monitor. I'm currently building a new computer, upgrading from a Pentium 4 build I did six years ago to a...
