    Finally a poor man buys his first graphics card

    Sorry to burst your bubble. But have you asked yourself why XFX is so cheap ? Ever wondered why XFX does not get a good review ? XFX is known to use cheaper and substandard RAM to make their cards cheaper. They are also known to sell 32 bit or 64 bit versions and passing them off as 128...

    URGENT!!!!!DVD ROM vs. DVD Combo Drives

    Combo would be a better option if you do not have a cd writer. Samsung Combos are terrible and have got the worst reviews. You are better off with a LG or even better with a Liteon 52x combo which is the best option to read even some scratched cds or dvds

    Hard disk busy even after shutdown

    Win XP is saving settings. Since you have a AT board, you should wait for the hard disk activity to get over before pressing the Power off switch

    Are 915 motherboards AGP 8x compatible?

    915 mobos have PCI Express slots and will not accept AGP cards. Your best bet is to go for a 865 or a 875 chipset

    All AGP 8x cards are backward compatible to AGP4x. You can use tour AGP8x card without any problem.

    Accelerators!!!

    1) you should compare the GPU (graphic processor unit). For example a ATI X800XT GPU will be much superior in performace than a ATI Radeon 9800XT. In case of nVIDIA, Geforce 6800Ultra will be much faster than a geforce Fx 5950Ultra. 2) AGP is superior to PCI. However PCI-E (PCI Express) is...

    Which graphics card to buy?nVidia 6 series or ATi radeonX800

    I totally disagree. If a manufacturer is confident to overclock the card and provide warranty on it, then it means the card has the best quality components and RAM and will remain stable. It is built that way. On the other hand if you to overclock a normal card, it voids your warranty and...

    Which CD Writer is most reliable???:?:

    I fully agree. Liteon is the best choice. Sony is also made by Liteon. I can write a full 700 MB Cd on my Liteon 52x cdrw in less than 2min 45 secs at any given time.

    Which graphics card to buy?nVidia 6 series or ATi radeonX800

    Gainward 6800GT 256 MB *Golden Sample* Go for the Gainward Geforce FX 6800GT 256 MB *Golden Sample* dude. It is available for Rs. 27,750 and can be overclocked very close to Geforce 6800 ULTRA level !!! The overclocking software is included by Gainward. Gainward 6800GT even beat even...

    Doom 3 now comes free with every 6800 :o

    Doom developed by ATI. LOL !! this has to be the joke of the decade. In fact DOOM 3 is the trump card for Nvidia since Geforce 6800 GT beat the crap out of ATI's more expensive and top of the line X800XT in Doom 3. Doom 3 is the game which brought Nvidia back into the limelight

    Purchasing a new pc please help !!!

    If you are going to use the machine for gaming, then you need to make sure you have a good graphics card. It is pointless to spend so much and then have a jerky machine while playing games. The purpose of upgrading will be defeated. I would say cut corners in other components and go for a...

    Pci slot tv out grapics card

    Within your budget the choices you have are the PCI version of Geforce MX400 PCI or ATI 9200. But I feel it will be very difficult to find PCI versions of these cards. Guess you have to look into changing your motherboard.

    Choose between Liteon & ASUS DVD Drives & Writers

    Liteon Liteon would be the best choice. Liteon is also firmware upgradable so that if any media is not compatible, a new firmware can solve the problem without having to upgrade to new model. By the way it was in the IT news in May 2004 that SONY has stopped making DVD writers and gets them...

    SCSI Vs SATA

    Don't be mislead by transfer rates. These are only burst rates and do not expect to get 150 MBPS all the time on SATA. What you should look for is the drive buffer and RPM. A 15,000 or 10,000 RPM SCSI drive is anyday faster than a 7,200 RPM SATA. Also SCSI drive will require a SCSI card to...

    Please Help for DVD-Rom Drive

    I would recommend the Liteon anyday. Samsung does not even support all formats and is crap. Check reviews on hardcore cdrw sites and you will find Liteon is the hacker's favourite drive since it can read anything and copy anything. My Liteon can even read a scratched DVD which my...
