Thanks for the quick and thorough response. Supreme commander is the main game I play for PC right now, I play BF3 and soon halo 4 on xbox, although i'd love BF for pc. My laptop has a 2.0 ghz quad core celeron and the games really slow down as time goes on. Thanks for the heads up on the...

Hi guys, first off this forum was extremely helpful when i built my first computer in 8th grade. I'm now a college senior, and the laptop i got freshman year is getting pretty slow, especially trying to play supreme commander. I now have an asus transformer tablet that I love, which is making...

oh ok hdmi normally does support both video and audio i just thought that when it came from a video card it was just the video signal. Problem is im not really heavy on computer gaming, i mainly just stick to xbox so im not sure i'd get that much use out of a new card.

yeah i can't wait to have it, just gotta make a little more money and wait for my dad to buy a bigger one, it's too small for his room his bed is like 15 feet away from the tv. Now im just kinda looking into my options as far as movies and the like.

oh wow my sig is gone, i have a radeon x850 xt some googling revealed that the max resolution is over 2000 x 1500 so 1080p should be fine. And the reason im getting the 1080p sharp is because my dad is moving up to a bigger model and i can get that one for the same price as a similar size 720p...

Ok so im getting ready to buy a nice 32" 1080p lcd television for my room and im thinking about turning my computer into a sort of media hub. I figure i can save money on a blu-ray player by buying a drive since they're getting down to about 100 dollars. Im looking into buying a home theater in...

This is kinda interesting to look at, im going into my senior year of high school right now. Planning on going to a fairly large college not too far from home, but im gonna stay on campus at least the first year. I plan on majoring in mechanical engineering and design, autocad and stuff. A lot...

I think i found probably the best deal out there, my dad. He bought a 32" sharp aquos a while back, it's 1080p ect and is a nice set. Problem is it didn't fit where our old TV was in the living room, so it had to go into his bedroom. Well our house is kinda wierd, and his bedroom is on the large...

im sure it would be better than my current picture, but i wouldn't really be seeing the full potential of the TV without some kind of HD programming.

ok thanks for the info, i didn't know some of the newer games had native 1080p i thought all the xbox could do was upscale, and yes i would get an HDMI cable. I know my dad gets HD channels in his room because he has a digital box, i would almost force him to get me one if i got an HD tv...

you know that sounds like a pretty good idea, as my birthday is in november as well as a bi-annual bonus at work, so i'll be sitting on some extra cash that time of year. Thanks for the heads up.

Hey guys, was wondering if you could point me in the right direction as far as buying an HDTV. I play xbox 360 a lot, so this would be the prime use, also if i get an HDTV i would probably get digital cable which would include some HD stuff. One big question i have, is do i need 1080p? i'd love...

yeah im looking at this one for an 8800gt Newegg.com - XFX PVT88PUHF4 GeForce 8800 GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards If they aren't going to get any lower than that then i'll buy it when i get back from vacation next...

so will we see the 8800gt and 3870HD come down in the middle of the month?if i could pick either of these up for around 100 i'll be very happy.

well if graphics is my only real lacking im looking at some different cards. I've really been gone from the PC world for a while, there seem to be a lot of good cards in the 10-200 range. What would you suggest that would get me to medium settings?
