    Router With Msn Messenger...

    Yeah, trillian does sound like a good idea! The other question I have now is when putting a computer on the DMZ, will my isp be able to detect that as a second computer? The main reason i'm asking is because i'm currently running 3 pc's, in which my isp only allows 1-2. So instead of showing 1...

    First-person shoot-em-up games on multiple monitors

    Now, does anybody know if it is possible to find software to alter say a geforce 3, or even a radeon card to do a triple display. I understand that the matrox cards use two dvi ports and come with adaptors to turn them into 3 D-Sub (or standard monitor) ports. Myself, i have 1 d-sub and 1 DVI to...

    Router With Msn Messenger...

    Hey thanx NickSo! I found how to access the DMZ, and it seems it should do what i want it to, that way i can just have a software firewall running instead, not as safe i'm aware, but nothing really i fear! hehe!

    Router With Msn Messenger...

    Hey there, I've been trying to figure out how i can send files over msn again since i've installed a new linksys router. I know that when winxp's integrated firewall is turned on i can't send files, but i can easily turn it off if i would like to send something. So i'm generally suspecting it's...

    Dual Monitor Support...

    Thanx Rob! Two quick questions though, just wondering if you lose any quality going throught the dvi, i don't see how you could but just making sure, and second is can you do a split screen as well with the proper software? If so thats great cause I already own a Geforce 3 with a dvi so that...

    Dual Monitor Support...

    I'm just looking for some information on how to configure this, i understand that i will probably be needing two video cards to accomplish this. My question is will this affect my overall performance if i'm using a higher-end video card. I'm basically just wondering what happens to the secondary...

    Decibels........Important???

    Now I'm such a newbie when it comes to this decibel crap, haha! Anyways, i'm wondering if it's important to research when looking for a new reciever. I've always understood that it refers to the amount of current/power running through a reviever. Now is this the same thing as the amount of amps...

    what do you think of " DDR-SDRAM" ?

    Put it this way, DDR = "Double Data Rate". So if you're used the the standard SDRAM, all this is, is double clocked SDRAM, so 128 DDR = 256 SDRAM...........yay!!!

    How do you turn a video card up?

    Hehe, what you should do is also lower your resolution on the test to these..... 640 X 480 X 16 Texture Format: 16 Bit Z-Buffer Depth: 16 Bit And also make sure it's running pure hardware!! :) But i scored 6736 with the defaults with my geforce3 and then i scored 7896 with the lower...

    How do you turn a video card up?

    It should actually make out for a significant difference if you think about it Kevin. A video card is generally like a small computer, it has a processor, ram and a chipset. However I've never seen this in the advanced properties before, i've looked at my older machine with win98SE and it...

    OK OK, let's get one thing straight....... | if it's possible you might not even need to use the PCI card that it comes with and maybe even hook it up to your sound card in your laptop! | This was my statement after i recomended the Theatre XP, hehe, now i'm just thinking if it was possible...

    Laptop HTPC that will do 5.1

    Hmmmm, DVD to a DLP projector i'm not sure of, since most laptops only come with a single Dsub or VGA out for a monitor, and i'm not too familiar with external video capture/output devices! but for audio i believe you should just be able to get a "Hercules Game Theatre XP" Link: Link Removed...

    How do you turn a video card up?

    Help with video card question

    Does your visiontek come with a tv-out port on the back of it? (usually s-video) if it does it's probably refering to it. In which case it's just stating that it has "Excellent tv-out compatibility" which is a load of crap, well in my experiences anyways, hehe. I have a standard geforce3 with a...

    2 Computer Network..........

    hehe, actually i have the network cards to do it, and i already have a hub, i'm actually going to use the computer with the 2 network cards to act as a hub and save me $100 or so. And for Jesse's question I'm going to be running 98 on the one doing the "routing" hehe, now shouldn't i need to...

    2 Computer Network..........

    Ok, I understand that there is a way to link 2 computers together via internet/file sharing with 3 network cards, 1 computer have 2 and the other having 1. My question is how this is done, i'm assuming there is a protocol/client that i'm to configure in order for this to work. I'm also hearing...

    Bookshelf, Or Tower?

    This reply is directed towards Jeff's comment, in that he mentioned a powered tower isn't a very good buy, i'm wondering is this true in comparing the S312's to the next step up, the S412, which has the same 3-Way System but with a 200 watt amp built in. is it worth just sticking with the...

    Bookshelf, Or Tower?

    Alright, I guess you have a good point about throwing a wider range of sound to them Jeff, so i believe based on that point and since i don't have the cash for either just yet, (feeling the cash blow from the sub), I might as well save and get those towers!!! Now another question i have is...

    Bookshelf, Or Tower?

    Alright, I've come to the big conclusion that i need to purchase a new pair of front speakers. Now after researching products, i've found JBL to be my favorite brand of them all, from my past experiences anyways. Now I'm wondering if anyone has some input on whether a high-powered set of towers...

    Newbie HT......

    Yeah, I've considered the N28's, I'm still wondering if i should have up'd to the Studio series instead of the NorthRidge, are they much improvment would you say? but I'm seriously considering matching them up, i was thinking about it before hand, i should have mentioned it ;)
