    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!

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

    Hey Francois, you might want to check out the new Matrox video cards if you haven't already. On there site they show games that are at least compatible with their Parhelia™ triple display card. http://www.matrox.com/mga/3d_gaming/surrgame.cfm Hope that helps ya out! :)

    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...
