I just heard from someone, that the the new motherboards with intel 915 chipset have only PCI express slots and need PCI express graphics cards. My question is, with a 915 motherboard, can I run a graphics card like the XFX Geforce FX 5700 Ultra? Actually, the situation is like this :- -...

The 915 motherboards come with AGP 16x graphics slots, just one simple question, a small element of doubt - will 8x graphics cards work in 16x slots? Also - Is the onboard 7.1 soundcard good enough for creative Inspire 5200 5.1 speakers, or else I may buy the Soundblaster live 5.1, anyway...

Well, I dunno much abt this graphics card thing just would like to get a few things clear. - What are the different parameters that decide the performance for a graphics card? Is it just the memory (128 MB) etc. or are there other things too? - Are Radeon cards less compatible with programs...

I would like to know a few things. First, in a RAM, what is DDR, what is the importance of the FSB like, 533, 266 etc. and how can it affect the performance. Is a 512 RAM enough to churn out almost full performance from a P4 2.6 Ghz. Second, what extra can a graphics card do to...

I want to set up speakers in a room about 120 square feet in size. The two items in my mind are creative 4.1 and creative 5.1, the latter costs about 2000 Rs more. The problem with 4.1 is that it is a pseudo surround. I would be connecting them to my computer to watch movies on a dvd, play...
