I have been given several workstations that are a few years old. They are still quite useful (heaps of RAM, RAID SATA, low-noise power supplies etc.) but have Radeon 9800XT AGP cards. I have a scientific application in mind for them that requires fast rendering on large screens (2560x1600). What...

After a fairly long and somewhat pain full process-- The Audio Driver for the Realtek ALC 1200 sound chip used on the ASUS M4A79 Deluxe motherboard turns out to be the culprit for random video corruption, crashing, and sound corruption. This has been a very pesky problem, since it typically...

Borderlands (retail DVD) crashes if I set screen resolution at 16 x 10 regardless of detail settings. At lower resolutions it's OK. No help from various forums. Virtually no other programs running. Any suggestions? All other games run just fine with high detail, AF, etc. Heat is not a...

1) With the help months ago of some of the people here, I'm able to watch old tv-shows on-line. I like it. Last night, I watched an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents on Hulu. The soudn was fine, but it was a series of still pictures, every 1 to 7 seconds, most often 3 seconds. 1) This is...

We are all stuck in a time warp. We were pretty as a youth with our long flowing blond hair. Now that we are older, we have the same or similar hairstyle. Most of us are guilty of this. The problem is, that this blond color now makes us look faded out and older than our years. The same with dark...

I have just installed Windows XP on a laptop that was originally made to run Vista (a Dell Studio 1537). Obviously the official drivers were no use, so I have had to find suitable XP versions. All of the important components are now working fine, apart from the graphics card. The card is an...

Hello all I have an athlon xp 2000+ with 512mb ram running on an msi kt3 ultra mobo. At the moment it has a geforce ti4200 and I'd like to upgrade to a dx9 card. My budget is about £150 ($200 approx) and I'd appreciate any thoughts about which card would be the best bet. My mobo only supports...

I run ATI MMC 7.7 on my old Win2K box and it has a mysterious tendency to switch its audio device from line to WAV for no apparent reason. Both devices work, but the line input has better audio quality. Can any of you ATI gurus tell me either

The HDTV Wonder decoder is on the ATI website. Problem is that you can't download it unless you already have it? WTF??? No, I don't have the CD. WatchHDTV looks promising, but it also needs a decoder. Alternatives to make this card work with XPSP2? Thanks, mike

So much for all the PC hate during Modern Warfare 2's launch. http://www.bluesnews.com/s/111454/70-of-activision-profits-non-console I guess WoW's $100 million-per-month revenue contributes significantly to that 70%. :-P -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore...

Nintendo May Consider A 3D Wii Console Saturday, June 19, 2010 - by Ray Willington Is it really any surprise? It shouldn't be. 3D is going mainstream, and that means entering product segments that it hasn't entered before. Like gaming. Sony was the first major gaming company to confess that they...
