Haha. Thanks.
I had the Radeon 5570 bookmarked awhile ago but removed it because it went out of stock. My dad apparently has never heard of Newegg before so he didn't agree to it. One day we went to Office Max and he spotted a 256 mb video card for $50 and asked me if I wanted it. :v:
So Best Buy is my only option.

There's actually a pretty big price gap here too. :/
Maybe Amazon will work? He bought me a Wacom Tablet off of Amazon.

I have another question, with my current specs, will I be able to run "newer" games like Fallout: New Vegas one medium settings once I get a new graphics card? I'm really not sure about what I'm doing.

You're running a piece of shit Pentium 4 on a rig that's probably half-dead already, and you want to run New Vegas on it?
Honestly, not a fucking clue, but I'd bet against.

P4 will be holding you back quite a bit. Some games will run great, others not so much. Depends on how CPU dependent they are.
[editline]30th December 2011[/editline]
New Vegas apparently runs on it, but with a quite low frame rate. Should be tolerable.
Yeah I thought so. I just need it to run TF2.

Thanks for your help.
Welp.
My Antec 620 is popping/bubbling. My desk vibrating because of it.
Looks like I'll be getting a new cooler from Frys or Microcenter tomorrow.
Any suggestions?

Reach for some reason refuses to work even after restarting my router twice. It seems as if it's not pulling any stats at all or something. I can't access challenges, my armor is what I set it to in the armory, but outside of it everything is default. My rank is Recruit, and it makes no sense. This shit has been going on for at least three days since I bought myself Gold.
This is what my armor and rank is supposed to look like. When I quit I was a Major Grade 3.

What my armor looks like to other people and in game. Also my rank apparently.

The error I keep getting for no fucking reason.

Meanwhile I have people in Australia and the US who can play and see their armor. They tell me that my armor is default and I'm a recruit.
Honestly I have no idea how to fix this.
Can't be a reset of any kind since on the B.net website it shows me being Major Grade 3. I also still have my armor and credits.

We're not really going to be able to answer a question about Halo (probably), you're better off going to the official forums.
I just accidentally adblocked all of Facebook on Safari.
HELP.
Many things in the details area of explorer don't seem to want to work right. Such as:
Most media related things (music: title, artist, etc, same with movies.)
File info such as size in the details box at the bottom

And various other issues with that.
Does anyone have any idea?

Hey again, I'm trying to get Windows 7 installed on a newly built computer and I'm having problems. The computer itself starts up a-ok, I can get into the BIOS settings, change the boot order and all that. The problem occurs when I try to boot an OS from any device, be it USB or CD/DVD. As far as I know the only way to get any OS running is to boot up my old Windows partition on the Harddrive that I didn't format, but that doesnt get anywhere because that version is 32-bit.
I've tried installing both Windows 7 and Ubuntu from both a USB and CD/DVD. Both times it will just enter a blank screen with a little cursor in the top-left.
edit: And now for some reason when I try booting into my Windows 7 Install CD it just starts my old Windows partition. what.
Anyone else having problems installing the new (week old) 290.53 Nvidia beta drivers?
Whenever I attempt to install it, I get the "%1 is not a valid Win32 application" error box. I made sure I downloaded the correct version and everything, and I'm a bit stuck.
Just wanna toss my thanks out to the user David Tennant, my new sound card works great. <3
I got a Cooler Master V6GT and man it is LOUD.
Apparently it's quiet at 7 volts and there is little difference between 7 and 12 volts.
Because of the noise I'm assuming it's running at 12 volts, so how do I get it to 7 volts?

Would anyone here know why my G110 only likes to work with F2K sometimes?
can i create a 50 gb partition on 2 hard drives each and then put just those 2 partitions into raid 0?
Alright, a little update on my prior situation with getting Windows 7 installed on my new computer. Well, it turns out that it doesn't read any kind of USB drive whatsoever, as when I tried installing Ubuntu from CD/DVD it worked swimmingly. The same cannot be said about installing a Windows 7 Installation CD straight from the store. It simply doesn't read the disc, and gives this error:
[quote]Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key_[/quote]
I'm beginning to think my computer hates me. No, it isn't pirated, and no, I don't think my CD/DVD Drive is fucked because it read the Ubuntu CD just fine.
Can someone help? I'm running an Asus M5 A88-V Evo Motherboard, and have two harddrives: one formatted to Ext4 on which my Ubuntu installation sits and the other formatted to NTFS on which just some torrent files and movies sit.
Okay, so I got my PC today and I have ran into issues with my video card. Everytime I try to install the proper drivers and restart it logs into windows 7, but only with a black screen and cursor. I have removed the old drivers and installed the new ones each time but to no avail. Please help!
My system specs:
x64
i7 920
GTX 550 ti
6gb ram
550w cooler master
Someone make the decision for me as I am very indecisive(if you couldn't already tell..)
<340$ to spend on a graphics card. What should I take?
GTX 570? Superclocked evga. 330 free shipping.
GTX 560ti 448? Classified evga. 300 and 7 shipping.
Are their any other options that will have more of a "bang for my buck"?
Current specs:
i7 2600k, Antec TP3 550 watt, 8gb Kingston Hyperx.
To anyone who can help, or knows about xbox 360 repair, my brothers xbox got the e 47 error, so I read up online how to fix it, and most people said the cpu / gpu were over heating. It also said to reapply new thermal paste. So i did that, ect and i boot it up, and the error is still there. What else could be happening?
Is it okay for me to leave part of my computer exposed, or should I just put the side-case back on?
[QUOTE=hey5000;33995514]Is it okay for me to leave part of my computer exposed, or should I just put the side-case back on?[/QUOTE]
Airflow would be non-existant with the side off so it would be a good idea to put it back on, not to mention all the extra dust that would get in.
If I wanna increase my main Computer's Hard Drive size by 1TB (I already got 1TB as my main HDD and a 60gb SSD drive), then do I have to buy the EXACT same 1TB hard drive?
Windows 7 can extend volumes over multiple devices without using RAID (And therefore any hard drive size, brand whatever can be used) - This is called a [url=http://www.windows7library.com/blog/devices/how-to-create-a-spanned-volume/]spanned volume[/url]
You are best just leaving it as a separate volume (And end up with an E drive for example) however, again any drive can be used.
My internet has been slow as shit lately. I mean, constant disconnecting, 50 kbps average, total shit. Problem: it's only like that on my computer. None of the other computers or consoles are having this problem. It started getting bad right after I switched to Windows 7, I don't know if it's a possible compatibility problem or just a coincidence. Before I upgraded to 7 I usually got around 2 mbps, never less than 1.
First, I just want to know any possible causes and if there are any quick fixes for this. If it's more complicated than that, I can post hardware stuff about it, but I don't know what I've got off the top of my head and my internet will go down again any second now.
Thanks.

NIC may be fucked. You might be missing drivers FOR SAID NIC. Or there's something wrong with the line.
