3 AnswersDesktops10 years agoCan i put in a graphics card and not use it?
I will be getting upgrading from my integrated "ATI Radeon HD 4200" in my HP p6703w to an XFX Radeon hd 6850. I will be able to get the graphics card next month when my mom gets her H&R block check but i might have to wait until christmas to upgrade my power supply from the stock 250w to a 500w. So would i be able to put the graphics card in the computer and not use it until then? or should i just leave it in the box.
2 AnswersAdd-ons10 years agoHow do i make objects on screen smaller?
I have a 32" lcd tv with a resolution of 1360x768 and i use it as my monitor. I really don't like how big the windows are and i don't think there is any way to change that. i have tried modifying the dpi settings in the registry but that messes up a lot of on screen text or makes the windows too small and the letters take up more space than the window can extend to. if someone can help that would be great!

2 AnswersOther - Computers10 years agoWhat should i do with my cat?
My cat has recently been wounded by what my mom thinks is from a possum, he has a big wound on the side of his head (now a scab) and has been getting skinnier and his fur has been getting all gross looking. I've used peroxide on his wound a few times to disinfect it and each time i do it foams A LOT! i dont know what to do and i dont have the money to take him to the vet.
Also, hes been meowing A LOT whenever someone gets close to him, which is odd because hes usually calm and doesnt care if people are near him.
My mom wont agree to giving him a bath because she says the soap will burn him but i think it would be a hell of a lot easier to help him out if he were to be cleaned
help please! and thanks in advance
5 AnswersCats10 years agoShould I try and be an Astronomer?
Ever since elementary school I have been interested in learning about other planets, stars, solar systems, and galaxies. I have been thinking about it for the past few days and I might want to actually be a part of actually discovering these types of things and learning about them at a much higher level. At first i wanted to go to Full Sail University and become a Video Game Developer but now i'm not sure. I have even been addicted to watching documentaries about the Universe and all that goes with it. For example, I have just finished watching a 5 season series called "The Universe" on Netflix and have been looking for more. It would be great if i can get some advice with this because this would totally change my plans for the future and i need to be absolutely sure.
Not sure if it matters but i am 17 years old and am going to be graduating from high school in one month, which is why this is REALLY bugging me.

3 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoMonitors refresh rate vs. game refresh rate?
My 32" LCD television has a recommended 1360 x 768 resolution and a max refresh rate of 70hz (or at least thats what it lets me go to before the monitor gets no signal in the catalyst control center) and World of Warcraft has a max of 85hz in my settings... should i have it at 70 or 85? or will setting it at 85 mess up the fps if the monitor itself doesnt even go that fast?
