Thanks for the posts. I'm glad to hear that my old post is helping so many of you.

Future Shop is not specifically a computer store, it is an electronics store like BestBuy in case you didn't know. Future Shop has a tendancy of having employees with limited knowledge in computers...

I have an Acer laptop since almost 3 years ago and I've never had a problem with it... and like server_crash said, Alienware laptops are pretty good.

I got a link that answers my questions:

Like I previously said, I don't have the problem anymore. I wouldn't restart the app from scratch... it has been in development for over a year. ;)

Thanks anyway

I created a new project, added all the exact same file to it and now I don't have the problem anymore. I don't really understand why because I had tryed this a couple of tiomes before and it didn't...

Hey everyone,

I have this really weird problem with Visual Studio .Net. If I add some breakpoints here and there on some pages and then run my app., the breakpoints move to some other lines (not...

The Arctic cooling NV Silencer 1 would do the job. Silencers are known to keep a video card cool.

I'm glad you found my old post :D

I just ended up taking 2x 512 mb of DDR-2 533mhz at pc cyber for 157$ canadian. It is now 117$ so I could upgrade to 2 gigs for cheap if i wanted.

BTW, the prices i posted on the first post,...

It seems like he's searching for an AGP card and those are PCI-E cards.

For games like BF2 and HL2, like server_crash said, you would be better off with a 256mb card. But don't just buy any 256...

I've posted this 6 months back guys. Thanks for trying to help tho :)

There is something I'm not 100% sure about.

If we have multiple versions of the .Net framework like 1.0, 1.1 and 1.1 hotfix, can we uninstall older versions with no problems? I think we can but...

In managed C++ if I have a function only concatenating a string, is it necessary to add the S in front of the "Some string" for it to be managed?

(S"Some string")

The string doesn't exist...

indeed

It has the ATI M7 graphics controller. It is integrated, therefore not upgradable.

He's got an ATI card... I'm sure you wrote that by mistake ;).

Don't install Nvidia drivers when you have an ATI card.

How about one of those red portable gas containers?

3 months, no posts in this thread... Today, I learned a shortcut that I think is pretty cool:
Alt + PrtScn will take a Screen Shot of the currently selected window. Instead of always croping shots,...

I suppose it is a new system you are building. It happened to me when building my system. I also had a message like "system failed due to cpu overclocking" but never OCed it. I tried to boot from my...

You might have played with the display settings. Sometimes when we switch the display to a secondary monitor or projector, the primary display will shrink. It might be something like that.

Here is what I would suggest http://www.misco.co.uk/productinformation/~100414~/BFG%20GeForce%206600%20GT%20OC%20128MB%20DDR%20TV-OUT%20Dual%20DVI.htm

133£ for a 6600 GT 128mb, cant get much...

you can find an answer on DDR2 here (http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1573). It is basically RAM capable of higher bandwidths with higher speeds.

Check here...

If you want two video cards setup in SLI, you need your cards to be SLI ready and yes they need to be the same. The exact same actually; same brand same model so if in a year you want to add a second...

And just in case the specs I gave dont mean nothing to you, the 6600GT would be worth the extra money. The 6600GT is almost twice as good as the 6600.

Actually there are some noticeable differences between the two.

These specs may differ a little on different brand models

------------- core --------- memory ------ mem. bandwidth ------...

LOL Thats kind of funny that you reapeat what others say. Second post on same subject today, different threads. Are you searching for threads you know the answer even if its probably already been...

That's kind of what I told him to do, indirectly... ;)

I dont think its a good idea to have a 6600gt with only 300 watts.

Mine is formatted with FAT not FAT32. Try selecting the FAT format instead.

The technology of these cards is older, they dont perform as well as the 6600GT. If you want to buy a lower priced card, I wont stop you but you wont get the same result.

The 6600GT AGP will be...

Yea, I think he's talking about the scientists too.

Something interesting thing is that in 280 years it will be as close as Neptune. I wonder if it means it will exit the Kuiper Belt like Pluto...

Your system is not that bad. Apart from the video card, only your celeron processor is not the best for gaming. In gaming, from Intel, Pentiums are better but you dont have the worst celeron so it...

try doom 3, and far cry, it wont run very well. ut2003 should run fairly well on a system like u have its normal. half life 2 isnt the most demanding recent game so i think its normal for it to run...

I wouldnt bother buying this as it wouldnt mane much difference from your current cards. Like Coconut said, you shouldnt look at cheaper cards than geforce 6600GT or radeon x700 pro. The latest games...

the first year you have a fast internet connection you really spend a lot of time on it but after a couple months you might start using it less. It happened to me 4 yrs ago.

im going to see anaheim on January 19th. the sens will whoop their butts. :)
