I put the ram in the other slot and still nothing. I mean should the machine at lease make beeping sounds? By the way I have been using a screwdriver with a magnetic tip. I don't know if that can mess up the motherboard. I also done use wrist wraps. But Im starting to be concerned if one of...

So my old machine was not working because it would keep saying check signal cable but would boot up and power fine. I tried everything with it and it would not work. I plugged in an old gateway into the same monitor and cables and it works fine. I replaced the video card, motherboard, and power...

If I have a Core2 Intel processor running at 2.4 Ghz does that mean the processor is running at 4.8 Ghz because each core is running at 2.4 Ghz. Does the same apply to a quad core processor as well. Thanks

My current system is as follows. Core 2 Duo 2.4 ghz 2 gig Gskill Ram pc 800 NVIDIA 8800GT G92 WD 7200 RPM 250gig drive ASUS dvd burner GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R I lag a lot in the Trade district when I am outside by Triss's house. I think I am going to build a new system when NVIDIA releases the...

I also would not get that monitor you choose. It has a low contrast ratio.

I have an 8800GT and play the Witcher all the time. It lags quite a bit and I am going to wait for the 9900GTX to come out. By the way newegg is selling the unrated unedited version of the witcher. I am going to get it. Here is the link to it. But they are unfortunately sold out at the moment...

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R LGA 775 I want to get another board anyway because I dont care for this one. I would like to get SLI if recommended. I need power for games like Medieval 2 Total War.

I currently have a 7800GT and I need to upgrade bad. There has been a lot of price changes and new video cards appearing on the market lately and frankly I am stumped on what to buy. I don't want to pay $600 for a 9800GX2 but I want some serious power. I was considering putting 2x 8800GT or 2...

I would like to add another 80m fan on the side air duct of my case but have a question. Do I want the fan to suck the air in the side panel or blow it out? Thanks for you input.

So I recently built a new computer with the case link below. I kept hearing loud noises coming from the case. It was rattling and making loud squeaking sounds. At first I though it was my hard drive so I put it in another system and it was silent. Turns out it was coming from the case. The...

Which way do I install my Artic Cooler 7.

Well I guess I will install Vista then. Look for a new thread tomorrow with pictures of my new build.

Here is a thread regarding my build. http://www.techist.com/forums/f76/will-build-fast-enough-149857/

I will be building a new system tomorrow and I have a choice of installing Vista or XP 64 bit. Which one should I use guys. I have heard that Vista is slower in games and have integrated spying and anti piracy software. Is this true?
