I am looking to order a dell computer and it has a very poor basic video card in it so i know im gonna have to upgrade it. Based on the specs on this computer and everyones better knowledge than me on video cards, which cards ae very good and which should I stay away from. what size should I get? specific details would be much appreciated. oh and i dont wanna spend a whole lot of money on a video card either. like no more than $150.

heres the specs:

I am looking to buy a dell computer and the only thing im stuck on is the memory. They have 2 options....4gb on 2 dimms or 6gb on 4 dimms. I want this computer to last for a few years without totally going out of date on gaming. will 4gb be good for awhile or is it best to go with the 6gb? are there any games out or coming out soon that will require more than 4gb to run all the graphics on the best settings possible?

on this computer, im also getting an intel core2 q6600 quad proccessor with 650gb hard drive and a ATI Radeon HD 3450 256MB supporting HDMI graphics card to start but will probably upgrade

I want to be able to hit a string on my electric and have that note hold for a good amount of time. more than just hitting a string and right away, the sounds starts to quiet. Would a delay pedal achieve that? I dont want a delay where it sounds like im hitting the string twice or 3 times or so on. I just want to hit one string and have that sound hold for a few seconds. Kind of like the effect and E-Bow would produce.

any help would be appreciated.

I have a fender strat with 3 standard pickups, 2 tone and one volume knob. I am also using a 30 watt marshall amp with a grunge pedal. I have recently been getting really big into playing a lot of Rage Against The Machine and a lot of parts in songs has Morello using a scratch effect on the strings and notice he's using a killswitch. how does this work? what are the basic principals behind how the killswitch makes those scratch noises?

and also, how do I get those noises? how do I install one? please give me full details becuase im not the greatest with anything electronics.

thanks much

I have been trying to be able to land my United A320 consistantly with using ILS autopilot and a lot of times, it doesnt work right when i hit approach. Im sure its something small im not doing. When i hit the outer marker, im at about 25 degrees flaps, 175 IAS and i type in the ils frequency and hot approach and the plane starts to veer away from the airport and/or doesnt hold altitude and crashed way short of the runway. Now theres a setting of either GPS or NAV. which one should I be on for ILS cause they both make the plane go different directions. And what is this I keep reading about setting VOR? what is VOR?

can someone help me out so I can having to make manual landings? any help would be greatly apprectiated
