So this is my first post on these forums - I'm working on a new build and haven't built a computer in 6 years so I just want to get some expert/community advice to make sure all my parts are going to be working well together.   I included my shopping cart below because I didn't feel like writing it all out! Also - in addition to the items ...

I agree hugely with PapaHomer, a ''recommend by compatibility'' feature would be a seriously powerful tool, for both new folk and experts, it would just really quicken things up.

I'm thinking about buying this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337 (Seagate 1.5tb HDD) to be used with this: http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/product/Storage/35_solutions/n0006us/n0006us.asp. Will the HDD enclosure from thermaltake be compatible with my 1.5TB hard drive (even though it says it's compatible with hard ...

As far as I understand, PhysX is a physics engine implemented in games and other software applications. How does this relate to or affect other game engines such as DirectX and OpenGL? Does PhysX also integrate itself with a PhysX specific card to maximize the algorithms between both software and hardware solutions? If so, how does this ...

I want to upgrade my computer and im gonna be getting a new motherboard. Almost all new motherboards only have sata 2 connectors on them and my harddrive i have now is a sata 1 connection. Under the FAQ here they say that a Sata 1 motherboard can take a Sata 2 harddrive, but does it also work the other way. In other words will ...

I am building a gaming computer for the first time.  I have all my system specs listed and I need to know if all of those parts will work together and if they are good choices.  I also need to know if The cooling I chose would be sufficient. One major question I have is would a Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 ...

This is going to be my first rig I build from scratch and from reading a few dozen forum posts about the mb not working I thought it would be best to ask. I have a moderate understanding of computers from fixing comps, moding some, and upgrading. I'm looking at: Ram: OCZ NVIDIA SLI-Ready Edition 4GB 2x2gb DDR3 SDRAM pc3 14400 model ...

Hello all,  I'm pretty new to this forum and especially novice to PC building as this will be my 1st build.  I am looking to build a POWERFUL Gaming rig that will be used primarily for FPS games and MMORPGS with large scale battles.  I'm willing to spend in the more or less about $2,000-$2,500 range(this includes monitor).  Pls ...

This sounds like the best option for recording from a camera.  The only thing I worry about is that since the technology is so new, there may bea number of compatibility problems along the way.  If you're constricted to only a few codecs, if there are errors found in Final Cut while you're trying to edit, if Compressor doesn't allow as many ...

I have a Power MAC G5 with 512 MB DDR SDRAM. I recently bought DDR2 Kit - (2x) 1.0GB. I thought this would be compatible but when I installed it and turned the computer on the monitor would not come on. When I removed the new memory the monitor work just like before. Am I intalling the memory wrong or is the memory not compantible? Any ideas ...

Hello. I have an Apple G5 PowerPC, running a 250 GB Maxtor 6B250S0 ATA Hard Drive in the ''A'' (upper) Bay. I want to purchase another 250 GB Hard Drive from Newegg.com, but because the Maxtor 6B250S0 model is unavailable, I don't know which other Maxtor drive would be appropriate. I want to add a Hard Drive to the ''B'' (lower) Bay. I have never ...

Hey there. I recently purchased an ASUS p5QL Pro mobo, with has the Intel P43 Northbridge. I'm intending to use it in a gaming/coding system for college. Rather stupidly, I also bought 4 GB of RAM from G.Skill which expressly states in the description that only the X38, P35, 965, and 975 intel chipsets are supported. Is there any possibility ...

Hey all: I was just about to pull the trigger on my new build (still waffling on one component) and decided to do a last minute check on compatibility of all programs/components.  I was going to get Vista 64 for the OS.  Then I discovered my old scanner (Epson 6420) is NOT compatible with any 64 bit OS.  Nuts and other ...
