Just want good colors?

Okay, so my computer's internet is connected to a server which connects to my router. It uses Windows 2003, and bridges the connections. The main problem is the internet drops to my computer from the server if I livestream or download loads of crap at once. Or even if I browse a FP thread with loads of images *hint, hint*. How can I stop my home server from cutting my internet when I request loads of files? I've not had this issue with a Linux distro on the machine, but I require having Windows on it. Fanku.

Watched this video: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CEbb14VTRY[/media] Is the MODMIC really that good? Because if it is true i won't wait one minute too long when it gets restocked on amazon here on fri/sat! This mic only goes to 17,5khz? That's not really good for high tones, should I consider buying something else?

Modmics are great. Probably your best choice that isn't a desk mic.

So on my laptop, I created an account for my brother. It's been acting really weirdly though. He said it BSODed on him when he was trying to play WoW and when he lost wifi before and and I tried bringing up the network and sharing center, it gave me a blank white screen. Then when I tried rebooting, it hung at logging off. So I held the power button and rebooted. Later WoW crashed with a memory exception. I tried running Memtest86+ overnight. There was one fail on the fourth test (I stopped it while it was on 7). Seeing as it was only a single fail, does it mean my RAM's bad? I haven't had any issues when I've been using it for gaming on my own account.

What's the max temperature of a Radeon HD 6790?

My Asus GTX 560ti rattles at 45 in the MSI afterburner fan speed setting, is it normal or not?

What's a good DVD ripper? I have some stuff that I need to put on my PC.

Does anyone knows a good picture viewer app in Windows 7 that could remplace the default one (while having a nice esthetic/custom skins created by the community) ?

[QUOTE=ADT;36426493]Does anyone knows a good picture viewer app in Windows 7 that could remplace the default one (while having a nice esthetic/custom skins created by the community) ?[/QUOTE] Not sure about custom skins, but Google's Picasa has a nice picture viewer app.

[QUOTE=ADT;36426493]Does anyone knows a good picture viewer app in Windows 7 that could remplace the default one (while having a nice esthetic/custom skins created by the community) ?[/QUOTE] IrfanView. Although, there isn't any skins for it.

If you can I would get the OEM version of the CPU since you don't need the intel cooler.

Hey guys. Got a quick question about a new HSF for my AMD Phenom II x4 955BE. It currently runs relatively hot for the critical temps it has, idling around the high 30's/ 40's and under load sitting in the low 50's or higher (I keep HWMonitor running in the background, but I've only really run BF3 with it which maxed at around 53c). Is it worth buying a after market cooler do you think? And if so, would something like the Coolermaster TX3 be a decent budget option? I've checked out reviews for it on a few websites, it looks quite promising. Customer reviews for it on various websites seem quite positive as well. Or can you think of something else under £30, or less if shipping isn't free (I really don't have much money right now) that would fit in a Antec 300.

Why does Windows randomly decide to break my icons? [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7333627/ShareX/2012-06/2012-06-21_16-13-31.png[/img] I know how to fix it, but what causes it?

Is it still possible for me to get my original 1155 socket mobo replaced due to the sata problems.

I previously asked about what to do with this computer as it's framerates are dropping insanely if I play for too long in games such as Battlefield 3, even on medium settings, and I want to upgrade it in hopes that it'll fix that issue, I am assuming my graphics card heats up too much while playing Battlefield 3 for a bit, now, my specs are not that terrible and I have no idea what I should be upgrading in order to fix these framerate drops, I want to be sure that I am upgrading what is needed to be upgraded so I won't just throw money and then end up getting the same issue again, this is my current specs, I used a system profiler to get them: OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium System RAM: 3327 MB CPU Name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz CPU Speeds: 2333 Physical CPUs: 1 Virtual CPUs: 4 Video Card Description: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti VRAM: 1024 MB Primary Display Resolution: 1920x1080 Multi-Monitor Desktop Resolution: 1920x1080 Free Hard Drive Space: 207494 MB Total Hard Drive Space: 249901 MB Windows Experience Index Rating: 5.9 Now, recently I had formatted the computer in hopes that it might fix things a bit, but now I am back to square one, what do I need to do to make this computer work smoothly in modern games, because while playing modern games after a few minutes when the framerates drop, I start hearing the video card virring like crazy. I really want to fix this issue, I want to play my games without having to deal with such a problem, tell me what to do about this.

Is there a program that lets me sync files purely on a lan? Kind of like Dropbox but without uploading files.
