planning to buy a new laptop from sager but cant decide on which one is better in terms of video card gloriousness.

the SLI is with an 18.4 inch laptop, the 480 is with a 17.4 inch

so we were aksed in gym class, since we're doing dancing, to create our own combination of the steps we learned from cha cha cha. so now i was wondering what are soem good cha cha music... Preferably something in the lines of santana or similar style - epic. and is copa cobana good for cha cha cha?

im moving soon to a different country, and im planning on getting a new phone, and i was thinking of getting the new sidekick lx, since i kind of always wanted a sidekick. is it worth getting? or is the sidekick 3 better?

I'm moving for college soon and i really don't want to bring my whole PC... I'm looking for a decent gaming laptop that could last for about 5 years or so. Mainly I play WoW, and a bunch of other games. The most demanding gpu wise anyway, game i have atm is cod 4 thinking of buying cod 5 soon...

So basically I'm looking for a laptop that could do at least 60 fps no matter what game i'm playing. Price will probably around 1.5k~2kish.

I;ve been looking stuff at cyberpower pc and thinking of getting a dell... are tehre any better place to look at?

Well, we have to make a Christmas website for my Web Design class. and we have to make a home page.

Anyway for the home page i thought Id just make a simple and nice sign post(the links to the different pages being the "signs") with a nice wintry background. Since im not that good with photoshop i use tutorials very often and I already found a good tutorial for a nice snowy land scape. But i'm having a hard time looking for signpost tutorial. I'm looking for either a "old" wooden sign post style or one of those "north pole" sign post. so if anyone happens to know a tutorial for one or a tutorial that includes how to make a wooden sign post or the north pole sign post, i'd appreciate if you may link me to one!

well im in a wireless connection and wondering if i buy a new router if it will improve my connection specifically in this two areas: download speed and less connection interrupted when playing some FPS games(cod 4 ut2k4, etc)

my router right now is some old crappy dell trumobile2300, and i don't want to waste 50 bucks if i wont see any improvements in the 2 areas i specified. and as much as i want to go wired, i cant as I'm in the 2nd floor and the router is in the basement

well im planning on getting a 360, and with the possible price cut to 199 for the basic console, makes it more the reason to get. And also, with fable 2 coming out, just really makes me wanna get one... but unfortunately, they only thing thats stopping me from getting one is the red ring of death... my cousin who got a 360 and it got rrod so he got a new one just last october with the hdmi thing that was suppose to stop the rrod, but recently he just got the rrod.

I just did some research though, and it seemed that most rrod are caused by overheating, and im planning on playing it in my room, which reaches like 80 degrees, so im kind of scared of that too, but i just really want fable 2, gears 2, etc but im afraid im might just be wasting money when it breaks...

1) i just recently patched to 1.5 and was excited for winter crash, unfortunately, for some reason, every time i try to access the map the game crashes(even when i create a server with the map on) i think its corrupt but i dunno where to get the map itself only

2)i keep getting connection interrupted... its really annoying... is it because im on wireless? and can i do anything about it? and i cant really use a cable(if i can trust me i would) since im here in my room (2nd floor) and the router is at the basement =s....

not much as a problem but more of an annoyance... i just got CoD 4 and im frequently getting connection interruption... its very annoying... So far the only reason i can think of is because im on wireless... but my signal is usually excellent/very good.. so does any one have a specific tweak (ive done the max packets thing and set it to 100) or wanna put their 2 cents in?

oh yah, Im playing it on the PC

and also i usually play in servers that have pings that are like 20~50 and the server i usually play on has a ping that's around 20 more or less...

Vid Card: Right now i have an evga nvidia 8600 gts that is being cooled buy the built in fan on the card... i dont know if its normal or not but the idle temperature for it is around 50 and when gaming it goes up to around 68 C (or maybe even 70) if this isnt normal, how can i keep the card better cooled?

RAM: i have now 2gb of ram, and i read somewhere 3gb is the limit for xp... so, if i buy the 1 gig more, is it still safe? as in im not just wasting money? and i know most people recommend 2gb is enough.. oh and my windows xp is the 32 bit one.

I was wondering if the fan on the heatsink blows or sucks air, cause this would determine if the position of my side fan would be outtake or intake

Hi, i was wondering if there are any wireless cards thata re higher than 2.4ghz, so it wont get cut off when using my wireless phones... and also, are there any difference with pci and usb2.0 cards? which one is better?

and how will i know if a higher frequency card will work with my router?

Hi, i bought a new vid card with dvi-i outputs, it came with dvi-vga connectors, which is good since i currently dont have dvi cables. Now I'm wondering if having this dvi to vga converter is the same as using a dvi cable? If not, im gonna buy a dvi-d cable (my monitor only supports this) and i was wondering also if a dvi-d cable would work with a dvi-i output on my vidcard

well i just got a new pc, and since ic ant use my old OS here, im gonna be buying xp pro... now the question is, this new computer has not much stuff installed so far, and before i install teh drivers and what not iw ant to know if my files are gonna be erased when i upgrade from home to xp.

ram = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

mobo = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

some1 said it wasn't but i just wana double check before i buy

1) can use 2 of this splitters http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... to power my 3 fans? by that i mean im gonna buy 2 and connect one of them to the motherboard and connect the other one to one of the connectors so that i can connect my 3 fans

2 120mm fan comes with case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

1 120mm 2 ball fan: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

or can i use 1 splitter directly connect to my PS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... and connect 1 fan to the motherboard?

2) just to double check this ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8... is compatible with this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

well, if you've answered my previous question, ive changed some stuff around, and same idea before i order, is this all compatible?

and in your opinion would this be enough to play ut3/cod 4 on low settings @ 1024x768? since i should be right in the middle in terms of card power and all

im planning on buying a new pc, buying it in parts... right now im planning to have 3 fans (2 outtake 1 front intake)

this is my case which comes with 2 fans, side and rear and a front vent which i believe will fit a 120mm fan.

case = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

*planned* front intake = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

now my problem is i think my *planned* mother baord right now ahs only 1 fan connector and i dont think my PS has any...

board = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

PS = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

now if im right meaning theres only 1 fan connector, can anyone show me a good board with 3 fan connector?

hi im wondering which would be better for UT3. now, i fine with actually medium/low settings but minimum of 1024x768 res. justa s long as i get smooth gameplay in the res i want im fine.

here's my 2 options:

or

well im planning on getting a new pc, and i asked around here and got recommended to go cyberpowerpc... but after some research i've read some scary stuff about DoAs. So, my other option is buying this barebone kit from tiger direct, which is pretty decent i suppose ( http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtool... ).

now the problem is i dont have any experience at all in assembling PCs, so basicaly it comes down to risking cyberpower (unless there are other sites that offer customization and pre assembled) and i really wont know what to look for if there's a problem. Or buy from tiger direct and assemble the barebone myself, even though i have 0 experience on assembling pc..

oh and if i should go barebone, can someone help me finding a fans in tiger direct. (i actually don't know anything about fans, all i know is that i should get one for processor and the fan that actually cools the system)
