Tips to Sim's 3 Computer Game?

Q. Any Tips on the Computer Game Sims Three?

A. hire are some use full tips :

Easy money
Start writing novels on your computer. Write fiction novels as they take the least amount of time. They will not bring you too much Simoleons. When you write, your skill will automatically advance. If your skill is high enough, you will be able to write more novel types/genres. The most money can be made from "Romance Novels". You will get royalties for six weeks once you finish a book. With the "Writing" skill maxed out, you can make approximately 40,000 Simoleons every week, which is more than the 34,800 Simoleons you can get by purchasing all neighborhood businesses, and takes less time to achieve. In three game weeks you should have a very high speed writing, 9 or 10 novels as best sellers, and 100,000 Simoleons.

Saving money
No matter how many times you use an object, if you sell it the same day you got it you can get all your money back. If your Sim is poor and needs body points or something else, buy a body machine and keep selling it back to get a refund of all your money.

Easy Cooking, Fishing, and Gardening skills
This trick requires a TV with a Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening channel and a video game system. Have a Sim sit down and watch television. Switch the TV over to one of the previously mentioned channels so that the Sim can start earning his or her skill point. Then, have a second Sim go over and start playing video games. Notice that although the TV is displaying video games, the first Sim still has the skill meter above their head. Allow this Sim to sit there for as long as they please until they decide to do another activity of their own. After that, the skill meter should stay above their head until you start another Cooking, Fishing, or Gardening skill activity. As an added bonus, you can train two skill points at once. For example, work out and both the Athletic and Cooking skills will continue to rise. If you keep repeating the steps until each skill channel has been viewed, the Sim will keep learning the three skills as he or she goes on about their daily life, and four when doing skill activities.

Free bookcase skills
Buy a bookcase, then have your Sim begin to study. Interrupt the action so that the book is placed on the ground. Sell the bookcase. The book can now do everything the bookcase could have done for free.

Increasing chance to have baby boys
Have a pregnant female Sim eat apples to increase the chance of having a boy.

Increasing chance to have baby girls
Have a pregnant female Sim eat watermelons to increase the chance of having a girl.

Increasing chance for multiple babies
To increase the chance of having twins or triplets, have one or both parents have the lifetime reward of Fertility Treatment.

Making friends
Buy a guitar. Play it to learn how to play guitar. Keep playing until you reach 5/10 level, which gives you the ability to "Play For Tips". When you have that ability, go to the park with the guitar in your inventory. When you are in the park, click the guitar in your inventory, and select "Play For Tips". People watching you will become your friends if you keep playing. The higher your guitar skill, the faster they will become friends with you.

Disable aging
Instead of using a cheat code to toggle "aging on" and "aging off" like in The Sims 2, you can de-activate the age in "Game Options" under "Options". When you uncheck the box next to "Aging", your Sims will no longer become older. You can also slow aging down in this menu by setting the "Lifetime" bar. It can be set from 25 days to 960 days.

Avoiding death
Go to Pleasant Rest Graveyard. Near the gate is a bush called "Death Flower Bush". Harvest the flower from it, and keep it in your Sim's inventory. If you die, that Sim will give the flower to the Grim Reaper and be resurrected. Although the flower will not reappear there again, if your Sim has Level 7 Gardening, they can plant the "Unknown Special Seeds" found in the graveyard and some other places that have a chance to grow as a Death Flower. Note: Having the Green Thumb trait to revive the plant may help.

New clothes
To get new clothes, you first have to buy a dresser from "Buy Options". Once there, click "Plan Outfit". You can put a total of three different clothes for each type (formal, every day, athletic, etc.).

Strange faces
There is a glitch in Create-A-Sim mode that allows to you to make very strange faces. Go to the face designing area. Select a face part such as the eyes, and max out all the sliders one way or the other. Then, go to a different face part, and select one of the predesigned parts. Return to the eyes. The sliders will have reset to the middle, but the eyes will still look the same. This works for all of the face adjusting tabs. You can then continue to max out the size of the eyes and repeat. You can make eyes the size of dinner plates, very long cheekbones, huge noses, and more.

Hording pizza
Have a Sim call for pizza. When the pizza deli


What's a nice gaming computer?
Q. I'm wondering what's a nice gaming computer?

A. The best gaming computer has and always will be the one you build yourself. Even if you have no knowledge in computers it can be a good learning experience and you can get a machine far superior for cheaper than outright buying a "gaming pc".

Then you have to ask yourself the question, what kind of gaming is it that you want to do. The most crucial component in your gaming machine will be the video card and how beefed up the card will have to be will depend on the quality of your graphics and the intensity of your games. Take Tomb Raider for example you have various settings from low all the way to Ultra where the strands of hair on the main character are all independent for realistic effect.

Research on the components needed for your desired spec gaming machine can easily be found through google and various forums. Parts can be purchased through sites such as newegg.

Breaking this down further, regardless of the quality or intensity of the gaming you generally will never need anything more powerful than an i5 processor, with exception to the 6 core i7 i5 and 7 differ mostly in hyperthreading ability and caching ability. AMD can be good but performance will always be better with intel, don't let the clock rate full you.

Gaming desktop computer?

Q. i want to know what i would need to build a gaming DESKTOP computer under $700. i am really new to this kind of stuff. i am a console gamer, but i find it too easy and want more of a challenge. i know somewhat of the things i would need. such as a video card, motherboard, RAM, etc. but i am not sure what will give me the best performance for the money i am using. i will be looking to upgrade it later on in the future with faster and better performing things. but i really dont know what some of the things are used for. for example, what is the motherboard for, and why that one and not another. and if they are campatible with the other parts of the computer. also i want all performance, not really for the looks. so cheap affordable case would be nice that would last me a decent amount of time. ive also been doing research but there are a lot of mixed reviews about everything, and to a new guy like me, all these letters and numbers are confusing, so some explaination to some of the meanings of things that the parts have, would be very helpful, or if i could get a website where they give a good explaination about everything. i have read a few but they mostly just say what the item is and how much , but they dont explain how this could be better than any other part of the same price range and performance. i also will be mostly playing games such as battlefield, cod, halo (if it comes to pc), minecraft, runescape, skyrim etc. thank you so much, i am asking for a lot, i might as well ask if someone could build it for me. thanks!
also, i would even get the alienware x51, but i have a strong feeling that is might mostly be a rip off and not worth the money at all, all looks and no performance, but knowing if its any good would be great!

A. I checked Ironside. No bargain there.

A gaming computer is:
Case, Motherboard, Keyboard, Mouse, Power supply, CPU, Graphics card, cooling fans, DRAM, Operating system, Optical drive, HDD[s], audio output (speakers or headset), monitor/display or TV.
Gaming is mostly in the Graphics card.
Most show here:
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
and the CPU is on the first tab.
Gaming summary, is matching the nearest benchmarked card to this:

$720 gets this:

$700 gets this:

AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz is a bit of a waste because it has more cores than gaming can use, but it is OK. If building your own, FX-4100 is good enough and then try to unlock and overclock.
HDD is 1TB SATA II - would prefer Sata III
Has a decent AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
is a cheaper motherboard with Fast (10/100) ethernet instead of gigabit, 6 channel audio instead of 8.
The HD 7750 of the one costing $20 more is a lower grade graphics card. 5 channel audio and gigabit ethernet. I would get the $700 one first.

The Alienware X51 is next to impossible to upgrade because the case is too small.
The $700 and tax
2nd Generation Intel® Core� i3-2120 (3M Cache, 3.3 GHz) is no better than the newegg CPUs and probably a little lower in actual gaming. 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545 is much lower than the HD 7750, and that is lower than the HD 6850. HDD is still SATA II they throw in a $25 wireless card. and use a $15 power supply 240W External Power
It is a P.O.S.
Not as good as a $530 one at Newegg.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883229285
A HD 6670 approximates GT 545
FX-4100 approximates Intel i3-2120
The PSU is better, includes a keyboard + mouse, and just a smaller HDD. The Alienware is worth $575 not $700
The HD 6670 is probably not strong enough for you. See the chart of gaming. It is about a GT 555M equal. You can build your own, but the $700 Cyberpower is made with about $650 worth of parts.
On Build your own, use HD 6850 or HD 6870 or HD 7770 or GTX 560 ti
Use an FX-4100 or i3-2120 or so
Find a decent 650Watt power supply
You pretty much match the $700 system with tweaking the numbers.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1018125
This kit at about $600 or so, is missing Windows 7 and only has the 128GB SSD, but is about right overall.
This one also
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1018122
needs windows 7 and eventually a second HDD but is about right.


gaming desktop computer?
Q. hello i currently have a dell inspiron 1525, its a fine computer but i bought it when i didnt know the smallest thing about computers so guess what my gaming computer has? ... the cheapest video card they sold. and go figure theres no way to upgrade it on a laptop right? but anyways it works fine so i dont want to buy another laptop, i feel a desktop would be a good choice for me. i was looking at alienware but the desktops.... waaaaay to much for me and i proably dont even need that much in there. im hopping to pay no more then around 1000 but i will go up to about 13 or 14. i need a desktop that will play games such as...

WoW
Prototype
Dragon age
etc

also i am getting into the "blender 3d software" and have noticed that my laptop(s) dont really make the cut. my inspiron running on vista is fine but whenever i try and render, it does it but leaves a black square when i close from the window and then crashes blender. o the other hand i have a laptop from my school that does fine when it comes to rendering and stuff, but it can barely play a video thats made in the "Preview" setting withc is the lowest it will go.

so basicly im lookin for 1000 or alittle more desktop that will play games on full settings. i dont need to be paying to play huge games like crisus or whatever it is on full settings. the main thing is running smoother at atleast mid settings. and then it being able to use blender efficiently and easily. o and if anyone knows if blender works good on 7 that would be great!

thx in advance =)

A. If you are still looking for this nice gaming computer than i think i might have a computer for you. I am selling a very nice gaming computer that is able to play crysis in high settings but yet only cost $700. This is the bes t bang for the buck if you ask me. So if your not going to be playing anything extreme like crysis and a bit lower end games than you know this computer will play your games without breaking a sweat. If you are a serious buyer than i am a serious seller. I can give you more info and details if you email me whenever you can. Please contact me if your interested.

whats the best power supply for around 100 dollars? for a gaming computer?

Q. im interested in a gaming compouter and i have all the specs. whats the best power supply for around 100 dollars. or cheaper.

A. don't listen to sam i am
up above

he's a complete idiot obviously

YOU CAN use any power supply. the more power the better, it won't fry anything, at worst you don't supply enough power and the components won't boot up.

i've been on both sides of this situation.

--------

I purchased a OCZ Gamerz power supply i think mine is about 750w
it is FANTASTIC. i love gaming, and i love this power supply, it glows blue, and is very quiet.

get it from http://www.newegg.com/
search under power supplys in the computer components area, you'll find it.


Power supply for gaming pc?
Q. Thinking of making this gaming rig..here are the specs..
AMD Phenom II X2(3.10ghz)
ATI RAEDON 5670(1GB)
motherboard- ASUS M4A88T-M/USB3
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?p_id=gu2wngbz0ly8zkvu
2Gb DDR3 memory
1Tb hard disk.
SO HOW MUCH POWER SUPPLY SHOULD I PUT IN SO THAT EVERY PART GETS SUFFICIENT POWER?

A. Is your m-ATX motherboard going in a computer case that also supports ATX form factor? If not your choices are going to be limited. I prefer real large cases like the Haf 932 {link below} that supports ATX , m-ATX, E-ATX motherboards but also you can fit an ATX PSU in. I have also listed some power supply calculators below.
My preferences are for name brand modular power supplies that deliver a lot more power than I need for possible future upgrades and add-ons. For a few dollars more this is feasible.
If you are running Win 7 64-bit I would also consider more ram. Also I don't care for ATI cards and have included a benchmark chart.
I'm sorry if I've gotten a off subject but a little more research might save you some heartache and money.

Can you play computer games off an external hard drive?

Q. Would it be possible for me to install a game onto an external hard drive, then just plug that into any computer and play it? If so, would there be any decrease in performance, or would it run just as fine as if it were on the computer's internal hard drive?

A. Yes, I have WoW and Crysis on flash drives which i plug into the campus computers in the library. Super fast response time and there t class internet :)


Can I install games onto my hard drive then play on different computers?
Q. Or can I only play the game (installed on my hard drive) on the computer I installed it with?

Thank you!
Oh if it makes a difference I was wondering if it would work with Tomb Raider Underworld (bought online) and sims 3 (with the cd)
GalinKinlin I'm talking bout installing EVERYTHING on my hard drive not the computer.

A. It depends on the game. Information for a game can be stored in 3 places:
1) The main folder itself. Games like this you would be able to bring around, and continue your saved games - usually where the main files are stored
2) In the "My Documents" folder, or in the APPDATA folder - usually saved files.
3) In the windows registry - usually the settings (like graphics quality, etc.)

Most games use a combination of all 3. Older games (without the strong copy protection found in newer games) are easier to work with, as they don't install special programs to catch people circumventing the cd protection. BUT! If you use a cd-crack (which is legal if you own the game of course), you can usually copy that into the main folder, and that could make the game portable.

By using a crack, I was able to put Halo on a flash drive ( I legally own halo), and play it on my friends computer.

Be aware though, that you might not be able to continue your saved games.

Best gaming computer under 800$?

Q. Heres a challenge best gaming computer under 800$ including the monitor.

Link to actual computers.

Build a computer yourself send me the link if you want or find one online thats already good.

A. Ok, here is one for $679 in the link below. It has nice Quad Core AMD processor overclocked, good video card but I would upgrade it to at least 6750, everything else is just fine. Will run any game, most on high settings. You can ask for any promotions on this one as I know CC runs them a lot, without announcing. Monitor- right now there is an excellent deal on ebay - buy.com sells Viewsonic 24" for just $130!, so it makes a good $800 machine.


Can somebody refer me to a good gaming computer for under $800?
Q. I need a high quality gaming computer for under $800. It must be fully loaded and ready to use (case fans, operating system, etc...) It doesn't need to have things such as a mouse, keyboard, or speakers, but it needs to be ready to use. Some minimum requirements I am looking for are:4gb of ram, quad core processor, 9400GT 1gb geforce graphics card, and a 480 power wattage supply. Also, every other aspect of the computer must be good for gaming; I need to run games like WoW and Aion without lag. Please leave a link to a website or something. Best answer gets 10 points.

A. You're in luck because WoW and Aion are games with fairly minimal system requirements- those will run well on most hardware. But your proposed build is backwards from what you'd need to optimize gaming performance.

First off, the 9400GT isn't a gaming card. It's half the speed of a 9500GT (which isn't great either). Gamers should not settle for anything less than a Radeon 4670 or GeForce 9600GT, which are about $75. The video card is the most important component in a gaming machine, having roughly twice the impact upon framerates as your CPU. There's a world of difference between $70-$80 cards and models in the $40-$50 range.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card,2464.html

Second... for GAMING, your processor clockspeed is more important than whether it's dual, triple or quad-core. 95% of games don't take advantage of the additional cores anyway (the exceptions being Crysis, GTA and Supreme Commander).

The 3.0Ghz E8400 (Core 2 Duo) is vastly better for gaming than the 2.5Ghz Q8300 (Core 2 Quad). And because quads are more expensive, you winding up spending more money on your CPU and less on your graphics card, which hurts even more. The combination of a $75 CPU and $150 graphics card easily outperforms the combination of a $150 CPU and $75 graphics card. Same story if you're $100 and $200 components.

Quads are better overall for non-gaming tasks like movie editing and heavy multitasking but if you're looking for maximum bang/buck on a budget, Core 2 Duo or possibly AMD quad-core (which costs about the same as Intel Core 2 Duo) is the way to go.

Here's a nice system- just slightly out of your price range ($829 before shipping)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883227177

Here's a link to customize a gaming computer:
http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Mega_Special_I/

Just choose a few upgrades...

Phenom II X2 550 Black edtion CPU
GeForce 9800GT or Radeon 4770 video card
Windows 7 Home Premium

And you're set! Cost before shipping: $699

Or buy a computer from Best Buy, then go online for a better video card to upgarde it:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Essentio+Desktop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Core%26%23153%3B2+Quad+Processor/9541891.p?id=1218121457704&skuId=9541891
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Essentio+Desktop+with+Intel%26%23174%3B+Pentium%26%23174%3B+Processor/9541766.p?id=1218121455435&skuId=9541766

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125244

Neither of the upgraded Best Buy systems will compare to the CyberPower or iBuypower machines. But still more than powerful enough for WoW and Aion.

Like most off-the-shelf computers, they come standard with 300W power supplies so you can't install anything above the Radeon 4670 without buying a better power supply. But that's not difficult and you'd still be under budget. So if you wanted a GeForce 9800GT you'd spend about $150 additional ($100 for the card, $50 for a 500W psu)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133279
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341012

You won't find well-built gaming rigs which already contain strong power supplies & graphics cards on retail stores shelves at reasonable prices. For a nice gaming rig on the cheap, you'll either have to build from scratch, buy online, or perform a few upgrades yourself.

computer game?

Q. i've got a dvd-rom computer game when i load it, it then says double click on dvd-rom D drive for insterlation instructions, but when i click on there it won't let me open it up PLEASE HELP the game i brought was stronghold 2 duluxe

A. If you have Windows XP/Vista, all you should need to do is pop the CD in the drive and it will bring up the installation program for you, then you just follow the instructions. If this isn't working, you should actually go to drive E: (this is the CD-ROM drive), and double click that.

If you have a Mac, then there's no chance in hell of making your game run properly, as Macs are about as capable of running games as PCs are of running Mac OS:X. Buying computer games for a Mac is a massive waste of money.


What is the best Operating System(OS) for a gaming computer?
Q. I want to play Crysis and all those good graphic intensive games but are unsure if it'll work on Windows 7. Which OS is the best, XP, Vista or Windows 7 and what bit- the 32bit or 64bit and also which type like Vista Ultimate or Vista Home. Thanks

A. All reports I've read say that there was no problem running Windows 7 on Vista or earlier OS games. As a matter of fact, less hassle was reported as there was no compatibility issues like Vista gave some people.

The only problem I've ever had with Vista was that Neverwinter Nights, Diamond Edition, would not run with Vista 32-bit, but I had no problem running it with Vista 64-bit, (go figger).

Apparently, there is no problem with Windows 7 for that game, 32 or 64-bit.

The version best to use is probably Windows 7, 64-bit.

I need help with my Wizard101 game, Error 123?

Q. I have played Wizard101 numerous times before, it always loaded up within 1-3 minutes, 5 at most and I could play for hours non stop. Recently (as in a few months) the game has been acting up on me: it would load for 30 minutes then show the error screen. I have tried everything, it just won't work. I've tried to play Wizard101 on 3 laptops and 2 Desktop computers. It works fine if I play at my friends house.
Should I contact KingsIle? Thank you.

A. Update: 5/25/2011

We've recently been made aware of an issue that is affecting some of our customers. While trying to load the content for the game the required files will fail to download and then you will not be able to enter the game and will receive the Error 123. **

While we work on a permanent solution tentatively scheduled for our next major publish we've found that there are 2 possible solutions that have worked for customers. We welcome you to try both of them.

Part A

First, click here https://www.wizard101.com/patchClient/test. If the page loads and you see "Test OK!" but are still not able to enter the game due to the error move on to Part B of this article. If you clicked the link above and get any other page error then you may have a firewall or antivirus program that is restricting the patcher from access the server.

You should review your firewall software's exception list and make sure that the following files are added to it.

WizardLauncher.exe is located in this directory:
C:\ProgramData\KingsIsle Entertainment\Wizard101\PatchClient\BankA\

WizardLauncher.exe is located in this directory:
C:\ProgramData\KingsIsle Entertainment\Wizard101\PatchClient\BankB\

WizardGraphicalClient.exe is located in this directory:
C:\ProgramData\KingsIsle Entertainment\Wizard101\Bin

ProgramData may be "Program Files" depending on your version of Windows.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part B

If the above troubleshooting does not work, then we recommend a complete reinstall of the game. Please uninstall, reboot, redownload and reinstall before attempting to log into the game again. It is important that you NOT see the NPC housing vendor after completing this step as it may cause the error to return.

If you are running Windows 7 or Vista, you may want to run the client as an Administrator as well. Right click on the desktop shortcut and pick "Run As Administrator". (The game will launch normally afterwards after this first time)

For Advanced users only:

To save you some time redownloading, you can try the following. Before uninstalling make a copy of your GameData folder and delete the offending file(s) from it. It will either be called Housing-Mooshu-MS_Tier1_Exterior_Preview.wad or Housing_CL-CL-House_CL_Tier02_A_Outside_Preview.wad. Then uninstall the game and reboot. Redownload the game and install it however, before you run the patcher place the copy of the GameData folder back into its original location and patch.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Finally, if you continue to have trouble we'll need you to send us both your WizardLauncher logs directly after getting the error. You can find out how to locate and send those two files to us by watching this HelpCast: http://youtu.be/-1nlrbQ9DHU



** Some customers report that they visited the housing NPC in Celestia and previewed either the Celestial Observatory or the Mooshu Tranquil Cottage. Until this issue is resolved in a future update we recommend not doing this at this time.

This has been happening to many users so don't worry! Good luck!

Can a $700 gaming computer run 2011 games and below?
Q. I was gonna go to my local PC shop and try to set up a computer for $700 bucks, for pure gaming. I was wondering what year of games I would be able to run with a $700 computer built specifically for gaming.

A. Depends if you want to play on maxed settings or if you are ok with running low or med settings.

$700 you can run 2011 games but most likely on low.

Monitor ~ $100
Windows 7 ~ $90
Mobo ~ $75
CPU ~ $150
Hard Drive ~ $50
PSU ~ $50
GPU ~ $100
Memory ~ $50
Case ~ $50
Tax ~ $75


This is approximate values for low-end parts. $700 won't get you very far with a gaming computer. I suggest investing at least $1000. Also I suggest ordering from Newegg.com than going to a computer store such as Microcenter. Can find the same parts for cheaper and free shipping. Good luck on your build.

Is my computer able to handle this game (mainly my graphics card)?

Q. Guild wars 2- Min System Req

-Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3 OR AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better
-2 GB RAM
-NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256 MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better)

I have

-Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU @2.20GHz 2.20GHz
-8.00GB RAM
-NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M ---- Intel HD Graphics Family

I know i have plenty of RAM and my CPU should be alright. But It looks like my graphics card is not even close. Will it still be able to run smoothly?

Specs for NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/notebook-gpus/geforce-gt-525m/specifications

Specs for NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800
http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_7800.html

A. A few ways to check.
Since it is a laptop graphics, the easy way is
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html
Plays on low settings as no problem.
Look above and below the GT 525M at the Guild Wars 2

You can also do this:
http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=684&game=Guild%20Wars%202
Can I Run Guild Wars 2

Otherwise, the hard way, is finding the G3D scores of the minimum and your G3D score, and compare:
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
Your score: 588
GeForce 7800 GS: 487

If you notice also, your built into the CPU is HD 3000, which runs it at minimum.

Game Debate of high level gamers likes at least 35 frames per second on less than the absolute minimum. They think you should have a stronger card, but that just means it works on low for casual gamers, but would be disappointing play for hardcore gamers.


Is a 512mb graphics card good for computer games?
Q. I need to get a new graphics card for my computer and it has to be PCI express x16. I just need one to play games on my computer without paying a ridiculous amount of money.

A. It depends on the game that you want to play and memory is not the only thing that can decide the performance. You have to consider gpu clock, vram clock, gpu nus width etc. Games based on DirectX 9c will run pretty good on 512mb graphics card. You can try Nvidia 9400gt. But newer games will not run on 512mb gpu with optimal performance.

What is the best gaming computer for under 2500 dollars?

Q. Please do not say Alienware. This computer needs to be able to play games such as BF3 and Skyrim with ease. Also this computer cannot be a laptop.

Really good gaming computers for 1500?
Q. Im looking to buy a gaming computer because im tired of the consoles limits. Im gonna wait about 3 months before i do this though. I have a budget of 1500-1800 dollars. I dont know anything about building computers either, so im looking for a prebuilt one. What are some really good gaming computers for this much?

A. It is nice to see somebody FINALLY with a reasonably good budget! So many people want the latest greatest beast of a machine for $500! :O

My advice is go to IBuyPower and to CyberPower and build a system around an Intel i5 processor. Pick whichever company is best for you. The Intel i5 will run rings around whatever AMD has to offer. It is the BEST gaming processor.

Do you like water cooling, or are you scared of it? I am scared of it (it HAS to leak sometime! ::::::: quake :::::::). IBuyPower does not offer any air cooling except a stock fan and heatsink. CyberPower offers both water and air cooling solutions.

Play with their configureators to get prices. Then you will know about how much it will cost. When you are ready to buy, come back here and ask us to help pick out a system. We like doing that! :D With a nice, healthy budget of $1500 to $1800, you can get a perfect i5 system! :D You will have the ULTIMATE gaming computer for that price - the best i5 processor, and a top quality graphics card (AMD 7950, or 7850 or 7870). You will be very happy with your machine! :D

Whats the best gaming computer on the market....under $1500?
Q. Hey i'm looking to buy a gaming computer under $1500 to play games like call of duty 4 or Hellgate. Would ya'll say like alienware or somthing like that?

Thanks =]

A. That's a hard one. Obviously, you are going to need to pay heavily for a good graphics card and a nice amount of memory, which you will need to play games like Crysis and Call of Duty 4. I would recommend a computer from Velocity Micro (desktop, laptops are way too expensive for a gaming computer in your price range). They are pretty well priced and look great.

Alienware computers are popular, but overpriced-not saying you can't find one in your price range, but they are a rip-off. I love Falcon Northwest, but once again, they are overpriced. Dell, Gateway, and other "standard" companies may have good deals, but they won't give you great recommendations for gaming.

If you have some time on your hands, I would recommend building your own. You can buy parts from newegg or a nearby store with a BYOC center. Despite what people say, it is not hard or expensive to build your own, just time-consuming. Find a guide online or someone at the store to help you, since buying a computer without all of the parts you need would not help at all.

No matter what, spend more on the Graphics Card and Volatile Memory (RAM). Upgrade those before anything else. Any dual core CPU at or above 2.4ghz should be fine. Spend the least on the case-if you need a cheap computer, go with a cheep case. After all, better to have a crappy looking powerhouse then an awesome looking paperweight.

How long will 3D TV last?

Q. Does anyone think 3D TV will last long enough to make investing in the hardware worthwhile? I don't -- and it doesn't even matter if the technology is more realistic and less cumbersome than it has been -- I think interest in it will die completely, and in too-short a time for the price of the compatible TVs and Blu-ray players to come down appreciably.

Another attempt to make more money for the electronics and entertainment industries, based solely on the novelty of it, IMHO.
I'm slowly converting to Blu-ray myself, and am glad for the backwards compatibility with SD-DVD, but don't see me buying 3D ... ever. So far all the movies produced in 3D have been exploitative crap ... well, 90% of them. You'll never see a 3D Lawrence of Arabia or Citizen Kane.

A. I've already heard rumors of a 3d TV that doesn't require glasses.

IF this is true, then all the 3d equipment on the market is already obsolete.

Ignoring that, the hardware isn't priced too badly...sort of. Basically, all TVs going forward are going to be "3d ready", so there won't be any noticeable price bump there. However, so far, 3d only seems to be on the really big screens (40" or larger) which is going to leave a good chunk of the market out. Even 3d blu-ray players aren't priced too much higher than regular blu-ray players. And once again, the PS3 is the best overall choice for functionality and price.

However where 3d really falls down - hard - is in the area of those glasses. Costing upwards of $100 a piece they aren't cheap. And given that no store near me - not even the nice boutique stores - seem to be able to keep a working pair of glasses up and running for very long. In fact, most stores near me just don't bother anymore. They've lost enough money, so the 3d TVs sit there, blaring Black Eye Peas music with blurry pictures on the TV.

Worse still, the stupid glasses aren't even standardized. So Samsung's 3d player will only work with Samsung's 3d glasses. Lunacy! Did these fools not learn anything from the hd-dvd/blu-ray circus just a few years ago? Asking consumers to fight a format war for you just leads to slow uptake, and disenfranchised customers! For no other reason, this alone will doom 3D to the same dusty dark corner where the 2 or 3 DVD-A albums sit unnoticed next to the 2 or 3 SACD albums. What? You don't know what DVD-A or SACD is? EXACTLY!

Finally, consumers are still making the jump from SD to HD, but at least that's going at a good pace. The jump to blu-ray, meanwhile, is moving at a glacial pace. Blu-ray itself is still in flux. Blu-ray is nearly, what, 4 years old, and yet there are still new releases on a regular basis that don't work blu-ray players due to the studios not following the spec. Yeah, you can do a firmware upgrade of your blu-ray player, but that assumes you have your player connected to the internet, or have a computer with a CD burner connected to the internet, AND that your manufacturer has even produced an update for your player that fixes the problem.

Remember, by the time DVD turned 4, it was the year 2000. Name me a DVD in the year 2000 that wouldn't play on a DVD Player. Blu-ray, meanwhile, has had at least 3 that I've heard about - Pirates Of The Caribbean, Iron Man, and now Avatar. On top of that, there's a new copy protection scheme that many newer discs are using that won't even work on players you'll find in stores right now! You gotta be freaking kidding me!

And now they want us to go to 3d? Can you imagine the extra hassle that's going to cause? Now you'll have to worry about whether or not the 3d movie you want to watch is compatible with the glasses, blu-ray player AND the HDTV in your house! I predict home video is going to become as complicated as PC gaming was in the 90s, when you had to deal with the latest drivers for your video card, for your sound card, etc. OF course, you had to be careful - load the drivers in the wrong order, or use the wrong combination and your game wouldn't run. Yeah, that sounds about where we're headed now with this whole "it's a blu-ray that doesn't work on blu-ray players" thing.

looking for a great office/gaming chair?

Q. what is a good ergonomic office/gaming chair?

I am looking, but so much BS, what do you use and how do you like it, or what would you recommend.

A. I have found some good ergonomic chairs at http://www.bizchair.com/ergonomic-task-and-computer-office-chairs.html. I am not sure how a gaming chair relates to an office chair, though. I know they also offer gaming chairs, but that is totally different, at least from what I have seen. Either way, buying a chair online can be hard. Sadly, the more you spend for ergonomics, the more you usually get in return. I can vouch for All Seating and Dauphin chairs, as well as Neutral Posture, but sometimes some of the less expensive chairs also have great ergonomic value. Just stay away from new websites, and large chain office stores, as they often call any China chair an ergonomic chair. Mesh is nice as well.


Most expensive nice gaming chair?
Q. I have 100,000 i am spending on all gaming stuff
setting up a room just for gaming, got plans for the computer, mouse, keyboard, lights, speakers, headset, EVERYTHING..... Except for the chair
This is partially to impress my friends so i want the chair to be super expensive and look super nice, but it also has to be super high quality and worth the money. If it has speakers in it that would be great, also if it has like a back massager in it that would be the best!!!
Honestly Luke -_-
Also, i need to know the name of the chair, price, and where to get it ( i prefer it being online at amazon or somewhere cuz im to lazy to go to the store

A. This one is nice, but no back massager. http://www.videogamechairs.com/video-game-chairs-&-rockers/video-game-chairs/echovideogamechair.cfm
This one looks cool too http://www.lnt.com/product/chairs/307733-25599/lumisource-video-game-chair-boom-chair-stealth-ls-bm-stealth.html?utm_source=googleproductads&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term={keyword}

How to build a decent gaming computer for under 900$?

Q. I've never built a computer before so any information websites or anything would be awesome. I want to build a computer that's good for gaming and doing just normal stuff on it too.

A. First, I would recommend visiting NCIX on Youtube; they literally teach you everything there is to know about a computer. Their host Linus Sebastian is a very funny guy; I like him and I`m pretty sure you will like him too.

Go on Youtube and search for NCIX or Linus Tech Tips.

They have a website that you can go on to buy computers, and they literally have all different kinds of flavours in many different price ranges. They`re fantastic.

You could research yourself and try to find parts and put them together. Here`s a list of what you would need for a Gaming computer:

-Processor (Intel or AMD)
-Motherboard( Make sure the motherboard`s socket corresponds to the processor)
-Graphics Card (if you want a gaming computer then this should be a big priority)
-RAM (4GB of RAM is perfect for gaming, but I would get more if I multitask a lot too)
-Power Supply (Don`t cheap out on this component. This can damage a lot of things if it was built very poorly. Power supplies can also catch on fire in rare cases if they are poorly made).
Hard Drive (I would get two of them; one dedicated for the Operating system and one dedicated for storage.)
-CD-DVD ROM Drive
-A computer case
-all the accessories, such as mouse, keyboard, case fans etc.

Good Luck


Any good gaming computers for 600-900$?
Q. Everyone is up for a gaming computer after I showed them Amnesia the dark desent.so I was just wondering if there is any good gaming computers for that price range for this game.if so thanks :) We are planing on going computer shopping this weekend, but I am just Researching for a good gaming lab top/or desktop.

A. You definitely have the money for a good gaming computer. You will want to stick with desktops, you will get MUCH mire power if you go that route.

The most important thing is that the computer has "Dedicated Graphics" so stick that term in your head when you go out shopping.

Newegg is an awesome place for gaming computers. Most of the computers they sell in your price range are great. and they are well known for their great customer service. I also like Tiger Direct for parts, but I don't think you're very much interested in building one :)

After installing the Lego Harry Potter video game, my computer crashed. Any thoughts?

Q. So I bought the other day Lego Harry Potter video game for the PC and when I loaded up the game to play, my computer crashed. When rebooting it, 3 Blue Lines appeared and then started to flash. So, I rebooted again and it went into Windows fine.

Everything was fine when my Firefox started to crash every so often. (this was the last two days). This morning (July 11th, 2010), I opened Firefox fine and 10 minutes later, started to crash every time I opened it.

So, I decided to uninstall Firefox and run Anti-Virus, Scan for malware, etc and then my computer just simple crashed.

Any ideas? Would it be a Hardware problem? Blame it on the video game? or what?

A. I had a problem like this after buying the game. My computer did not crash but has been running slower and has had a hard time running more the one program at once (windows media player and microsoft word refused to work togther) and the game wouldn't load earlyer that day forcing me to restart. The day before I had run an anti-virus scan and it found nothing. When my step dad looked at my computer he said I had too many programs running at once and shut some down. My computer seams to be working fine but my internet can be a little bit slow, but I'm blaming facebook for that. Haven't retryed the game yet and honstly am a little afraid to, seeing as things did not get bad until the game was first instaled. If there is any way try it on a different computer, chances that the game did cause it is slim but if it did you're going to want to know for future reffrence.


Recomended video card for games this 2010?
Q. my video card screwed up dunno why last time i play is lead and gold and at midnight game hangs so i should restart then i can't open any games so i decided to sleep but in the morning when you 1st boot your computer the words written there was purple i think it's damage and it can't boot your windows as long as the nvidia driver is installed can it still be repaired or i need to buy a new one?
prices?????????
is GeForce 9800 better than GeForce 8500? i mean can 9800 handle most games of 2010 in high end graphics with 1280x1024 pixel?

A. I'd recommend the nVidia GTX260 or better for most games, the GTX275 or 280 for very power-intensive games on high resolutions (1920x1200 or larger)

It's not dual channel - single ch and slow at that. At least 4GB (2x2 dual ch) should be there. And now - most important - video card - none of them have it (I mean integrated video is not a real video card) For gaming even in WOW you need something decent like at least ATI 4650 or Nvidia GT 430 to start with. Better 5670 or GT 440.... Plus all 3 prolly come with fugly cases and very low power supplies. I am telling they are not for gaming...

Looking for a gaming computer to play Runescape?

Q. Im looking to get a desktop that can do these things quick and smoothly for under $1000 :

- Play Runescape on max settings with anti-aliasing 4x / bloom settings / full screen
- Perform at 50FPS (frames per second)
- Record / Edit / produce videos on screen for gaming
- Watch / Download movies + music + YouTube

I dont know how to build my own computer, so thats out for an answer. I also want it to still perform its best after Runescape 3 comes out. If it requires higher specs then I want to be ready.
Any suggestions? Please feel free to answer. Anything helps :)

A. Since you asked any suggestions, I will give you mine although I'm not a techie.

As long as you can get yourself a good set of graphics card for gaming, then you should be okay with running high settings on Runescape.

You can search on YouTube for good graphics card, or 2013 graphics card, and start from there as you're new to building a PC.

whats the best power supply for around 100 dollars? for a gaming computer?

Q. im interested in a gaming compouter and i have all the specs. whats the best power supply for around 100 dollars. or cheaper.

A. don't listen to sam i am
up above

he's a complete idiot obviously

YOU CAN use any power supply. the more power the better, it won't fry anything, at worst you don't supply enough power and the components won't boot up.

i've been on both sides of this situation.

--------

I purchased a OCZ Gamerz power supply i think mine is about 750w
it is FANTASTIC. i love gaming, and i love this power supply, it glows blue, and is very quiet.

get it from http://www.newegg.com/
search under power supplys in the computer components area, you'll find it.


Power supply for gaming pc?
Q. Thinking of making this gaming rig..here are the specs..
AMD Phenom II X2(3.10ghz)
ATI RAEDON 5670(1GB)
motherboard- ASUS M4A88T-M/USB3
http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?p_id=gu2wngbz0ly8zkvu
2Gb DDR3 memory
1Tb hard disk.
SO HOW MUCH POWER SUPPLY SHOULD I PUT IN SO THAT EVERY PART GETS SUFFICIENT POWER?

A. Is your m-ATX motherboard going in a computer case that also supports ATX form factor? If not your choices are going to be limited. I prefer real large cases like the Haf 932 {link below} that supports ATX , m-ATX, E-ATX motherboards but also you can fit an ATX PSU in. I have also listed some power supply calculators below.
My preferences are for name brand modular power supplies that deliver a lot more power than I need for possible future upgrades and add-ons. For a few dollars more this is feasible.
If you are running Win 7 64-bit I would also consider more ram. Also I don't care for ATI cards and have included a benchmark chart.
I'm sorry if I've gotten a off subject but a little more research might save you some heartache and money.

Q. Hi,

I've gotten back into playing Company of Heroes, but I get very slow frame rates and the in game performance rating is in the red.

The thing is, my computer exceeds the recommended specifications.

Here's my systemrequirementslab results:

Can anyone help? I'm extremely frustrated by this.
I currently am using IObit's Gamebooster and SmartRam to attempt to help, but it doesn't make too much of a difference.

A. Hello.

Hope you are fine.

How to Improve Gaming Performance:

If your gaming experience is choppy and lagging while running some of the newest games, try making the adjustments below to get a better gameplay. This article provides ten tweaks on improving PC gaming performance.

When trying to improve gaming performance, it�s important to optimize the graphics card settings, the overall system performance, and the in-game graphics settings. Before trying any of these tips, you should first check the system requirements for any game you�re trying to play. If your system doesn�t meet the processor, graphics card, or memory minimum requirements, then you have an issue that these tips won�t fix and you�ll need to look into upgrading your computer.

INCREASE VIRTUAL MEMORY:

Virtual memory is hard drive space that is set aside for use when Windows runs out of physical memory. By increasing the virtual memory, you can ensure that your games have access to all of the memory that it needs. Most newer computers have 2-3 GB of disk space set aside for this, but some slightly older systems (with smaller hard drive) only have 512MB-1GB. As a general rule, I usually put it around 3GB. To change this, go to the Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory Change. Then, change the amount and click Set.

UPDATE VIDEO CARD DRIVER:

Updating the video card driver can not only improve gaming performance, but it can also fix issues that are known with certain games. To update the graphics card driver, I usually find the manufacturer�s website and search for drivers directly through them. That way, I know that I�m getting the best, most current release of the driver.

SET VISUAL EFFECTS TO BEST PERFORMANCE:

Graphics settings are governed by both the graphics card driver as well as the Windows operating system. You can adjust the Windows settings to display effects only when it won�t have a significant effect upon performance. To make this change, right click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced Tab > Performance Settings > Visual Effects Tab > Click on Adjust for Best Performance. You�ll notice that this is the same area that you go to adjust the virtual memory.

ADJUST SHADOW DETAILS:

Adjusting the amount of shadow detail in games can significantly improve performance. This can be done in each game, but first you can make some general shadowing changes through the graphics card properties panel. This will vary between graphics cards. Generally, you can access them by right-clicking on the Desktop and choosing Graphics Properties. This can make a huge difference in gameplay, but you will be sacrificing some of the visual appeal of the game.

CLOSING OTHER PROGRAMS:

This may seem like a no brainer, but it helps to have all other applications closed when playing PC games. Any program that you can close will free up resources for your gaming. Every little bit helps. So, close those browsers and torrent applications before launching your game.


DISK DEFRAGMENTER:

Use some sort of disk defragmentation tool to clean up and organize the files on your computer on a regular basis. I prefer using Diskeeper 2008 instead of the free Windows one, but either one is better than nothing. Defragmentation occurs most commonly in files that are accessed frequently. You can imagine how fragmented game files can get, and over time, that will affect the performance of the game.

DISABLE ANTI-ALIASING:

This feature can be turned down or disabled altogether to increase performance as you are essentially decreasing the visual effects of the game.

ADJUST EACH GAME�S SETTINGS:

Each game will have it�s own list of graphics settings and options. You want to try lowering these settings as little as possible, but in some cases, you may need to lower them all the way to get a playable performance. In this way, you are adjusting each game to run better on your system. Optimize your system settings first, and then adjust the game�s video options as you must.

GAME PATCHES:

Some games may have issues with certain video cards, so the game manufacturer�s oftentimes release free patches to improve stability and performance on top of in-game features. Some games will do major updates automatically, but in many cases, you will need to navigate to the manufacturer�s website and download the patches manually.
UPGRADE GRAPHICS CARD

One of the most obvious solutions to poor gaming performance would be to upgrade the graphics card. This, of course, costs money, and some older systems may not be able to be upgraded to the latest and greatest cards. I would say that if your PC has a PCI-express slot, then any upgrade you do has the potential to be very worthwhile. I would recommend buying from online computer retailers such as NewEgg and Tiger Direct, as they offer much cheaper prices than physical retail stores.


Hope you like it.

Thank you.


How to improve framerate on computer games?
Q. There is a game I bought for myself today, called "Chivalry: Medieval Warfare." I downloaded it through Steam, but I am currently encountering one game-breaking problem- THE FRAMERATE SUCKS. I don't normally experience this, so I turned all the visual settings down to the lowest possibilities to help improve. It improved it a bit, but I still cannot experience any good gameplay until it gets fixed. I have deleted a lot of old games off my computer to try to improve on this, and it still hasn't improved.
Do you have any suggestions on how to improve the fps?
I already have used it without any other tabs open, and have already reduced the quality to a minimum to attempt to improve it. Also, I have played offline custom matches and had the same framerate problem.

A. FPS can be improved with having better internet connection. Another way to increase it is lowering graphic settings down to the lowest and allocate more memory to it. You can also go to task manager and make sure that there aren't many task running only keep important stuff on thats the most i can help with.

GAMING COMPUTER?????????

Q. CAN A QUAD CORE ,4gb ram, 9800 gt run all games at maxed out settings and can run future games at max out? or A GTX 270, 8gb ram, and core i5/ core i7 processor to run future games at max out?
FUture games i mean is this year's games and 2011 games.

A. You want to run next year's games maxed out?

Get the fastest Core i7 CPU, 12GB of RAM, RAID 0'd Solid State Disks, and Crossfire 3 Radeon 5970's.

Sadly enough, that would still cost less than I paid for my first computer in the 80's


How good is this computer for gaming?
Q. Motherboard- Intel®GIGABYTE PH67-D2
Processor- Intel Core i5 2400 3.1GHZ-6M

Internet browser and computer is very slow?

Q. All of a sudden my internet browsing become very slow. I use IE but whenever I load a page it takes time not the way it used to be. And sometimes it says about DNS server but my connection settings are fine. Sometimes it does not even load a page. I tried using Firefow and other browser but it's all the same. I tried my anti-virus which is avg pro but it does not change anything. I also tried msconfig and disabled my startup. I defrag also and run a ccIeaner but there's still a problem. have a broadband connection and it is fast. What could be the problem? Is it my internet connection? but I did not change anything? I remember I just Installed an online game before this happened then I uninstalled that game and reinstall again. But what happenned is, I can't connect to any online game because the patch of the game doesn't come out or show. My computer also become slow and sometimes it freezes. Please help.
I run a window xp pro.
I also tried deletiing my temp, cookies and history but its still the same

I also tried deletiing my temp, cookies and history but its still the same
I run a windows xp pro.
I also tried deletiing my temp, cookies and history but its still the same
I used frostwire and downloaded some music and it's fine and fast. My porblem is my Internet browser, I can't even surf the net and I can't download programs using my browser.

A. As you know, many factors influence computer speed. When I'm called to work on a slow computer, here are the steps I take (and in this order):

1 - Delete all cookies, temp files and temporary internet files and reboot the computer. Watch for unusualy messages as the computer boots up. Before you run the programs below, clean up (delete) your cookies, temp files and temporary internet files. I prefer to use Ccleaner (available at www.filehippo.com) to do this, rather than the built-in DISK CLEANUP. If you want to use Disk Cleanup, you can find it if you:
- Double-Click on My Computer to open it up
- RIGHT-click on your C: drive
- Choose PROPERTIES and then click on the DISK CLEANUP button
Delete these files every day or run Ccleaner every day right before you shut your computer down.

2a - Check the main hard drive free space - it must be 25% free or it will slow your computer down.

2b - If 25% or under free space, move less needed files to a CD (make 2 separate copies!) and delete from hard drive. Also uninstall programs no longer needed, via Add/Remove programs

3a - Check what is running in your Systray (by the clock). Use MSCONFIG to turn off all programs NOT needed to run all the time. For example, you don't need your CD burning software to run *until* you need to burn a CD - at which time the software will start by itself. Ditto for Adobe Acrobat! Then re-boot the computer for the changes to take effect. Win 2000 does not have a built in MSCONFIG - but there is a free version available for download on your computer from:
http://www2.whidbey.net/djdenham/Msconfig.htm

3b - Some of this can also be accomplished using Task Manager. Right after a reboot, open Task Manager and check for all running processes. Make a list of them! You should have less than 40 running at startup for efficient operations. At 40 and over you can have significant slowdown. Google all you are unfamiliar with and keep notes for yourself. When you find the computer slowing again, you can compare your new list of running processes to the original list and go from there.

4 - Update and run your Anti-virus program. Ditto for anti-spyware and anti-adware programs. Google the programs you are currently using for mal-ware protection to ensure they, themselves are NOT mal-ware!!! FYI - I like to use "Ad-Aware", "Spybot, Search & Destroy", and "SuperAntiSpyware", all of which
are FREE and can be downloaded from www.download.com Be careful of "look-alike" programs, with similar names to known good programs. If you need a good FREE anti-virus program, I prefer Avira to AVG, also available from www.download.com For all of these programs you will need to download, install, update and scan, one at a time. The latest AVG has been slowing down some computers GREATLY.

5 - Get rid of all unneeded programs via Add/Remove programs. ONLY remove programs you have installed yourself that you KNOW are not needed for Windows to run. It is better to be less aggressive with this, than more! Always reboot your computer after deleting several programs.

6 - Last, run Error-checking THEN Defrag. DO NOT RUN DEFRAG WITHOUT RUNNING ERROR-CHECKING FIRST! If you have a bad hard drive sector, you can hose your computer!!
You can find both of these programs by opening My Computer, right-click on the the C: drive, choose Properties. On the TOOLS tab is are two buttons, one for each program. When you run Error-checking, make sure you check both boxes to automatically fix file system error AND scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

Another source of computers slowing down:
Running a large program all the time - for example, the comprehensive anti-virus/anti-spyware/firewall all-in-one type programs. They tend to want to do too much, at the cost of speed. If you suspect this might be the case for you, turn off that comprehensive program and see if the issue goes away. If so, consider less resource-intensive programs!

HTH!


help on gaming computer?
Q. so i been trying to find a computer online for gaming, i want it to be decent and cost arround $700, i dont care about the monitor i just want it to come witha keyboard and mouse, i been looking on for about 2 months now but still cant find one, one time i found one but its out of stock now, if it can run almost any recent game like bf3 or far cry 3, crysis 3 on ultra settings it would be great.i have been lookin in iBUYPOWER , NEWEGG, ETC. please someone help me! i really dont want to build one

A. ULTRA SETTINGS ON A $700 COMPUTER????
Good luck with that.....

Around $700 you are barely in the low budget gaming computer area....

Also, a gaming computer is NOT something you buy.
You either build it yourself or custom order from a reputable builder like AVA Direct, iBuyPower or CyberPowerPC

Here is the best low budget gaming PC you can build for around $750:

Yahoo answers will only allow up to 10 links, so I have to leave out the not so important components. Just copy paste in the search field on Newegg to find them, I will give the full name but no link for those.

BEST BUDGET GAMING DESKTOP PC BUILD FOR THE MONEY (under $750.00USD for the tower only)
Monitor, keyboard and mouse can add from $175 to over $500, depending on size and model you want.
All prices are in $USD and in the USA, current as of December 2012 and they might be slightly different one way or the other by now.
Also, some shipping charges may apply to some of the items.
Add your state sales tax if you reside in NJ, CA or TN - that's where Newegg has warehouses.
Look for similar parts on Amazon, Tiger Direct, etc if you want to avoid paying Uncle Sam.

Building A Gaming Computer?

Q. i need some help on building a computer a semi budget
i need a good mother board
it this a good one?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128358

also im thinking or running a intel core 2 quad q6600
and G.Skill 2GB ram 800 MHZ
also im thinking overclocking from 2.4ghz to 3.0 or more
so i am also gonna use the Tuniq Tower 120 universal cpu cooler 120mm

but i dont know what else i need i was thinking of putting a Nvidia Gt9500
and other stuff im a begginerg and idk nothing.. can you guys give me some good parts i can buy so i can have a good gaming computer that can take alot of gaming requirements.
thank you. ( Starcraft 2 =O )

A. First of all, get more RAM. 2GB is nice, but 4GB is better and you'll probably only end up paying about 25-30 dollars more.

Second, don't overclock. These days, processors aren't usually the bottleneck on a PC. Many games offload the vast majority of their math to the GPU, so your processor will probably be under a pretty light load while gaming. Overclocking it will just reduce its lifespan, void its (and possibly your motherboard's) warranty, and risk damage to itself and your motherboard. I don't see any reason to do it. If anyone out there wants to correct me, feel free.

The motherboard looks great. It appears to have won an award from Anantech (a popular hardware site) and has a lot of great reviews from users.

Get some faster RAM. 800Mhz isn't bad, but 1066 is better. Check out some of this fancy Corsair Dominator RAM (just $75 for 4GB!): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145214

As for the video card, the 9500GT isn't a bad chipset. It's mid-range, but since you're working off a budget here, then there's no reason to go higher now. However, you might consider going with an ATI card. The reason for this is the motherboard you picked supports Crossfire technology. Which is great for someone like you building on a budget because you can get one mid-range card now and then, when you have some more money, you can buy a second copy of that card and use them both at once rather than having to buy a more expensive card and discard the one you already paid for. Just make sure the card you get supports Crossfire.

As far as the after-market CPU cooler goes, I'm really not a fan of those. Generally using a 3rd party processor cooler voids your warranty on your processor. I've always gone with the retail box version of processors and just used the included heatsink/fan. The included heat sink/fan with a processor is designed for that specific processor and comes set up for use with it. With a third party heat sink, if there's any compatibility problems or if you incorrectly apply the thermal paste or something than you could be out a processor and a motherboard. Save your money and just do the retail box CPU and use the included heat sink.

You have the main components down (as far as what's important on a gaming machine). Anything else (DVD drive, hard drive, case, peripherals, etc) is up to you. Just a couple points:

-Get a name-brand power supply that's at least 600W. If you do end up running 2 video cards, you're going to need a lot of power and you'll want it to be reliable. 750W or more wouldn't hurt.
-If you can afford it, get an SSD for your OS and games to reside on and then a larger traditional hard drive for your data. This can introduce a pretty impressive speed increase. But this can be expensive, so treat it as optional for now.
-Go with a SATA DVD drive if you can find one at a reasonable price. It's much more future-proof because you never know when motherboards will start shipping with no PATA.
-Consider going with a 64-bit operating system (specifically Vista 64-bit). Your motherboard will support 16GB(!!!) of RAM, but a 32-bit OS will only support between 3 and 3.5GB. If you want to add more RAM later you don't really want to have to buy a new operating system to go with it. I run Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my desktop and it works just fine.

What is the best gaming computer in 2011?

Q. I have about around $10k and am looking to purchase the absolute fastest gaming computer on the market. I have compared every gaming computers specifications from pretty much every maker, and can't find anything to compete with the Psycho Killer Extreme from www.GamingPC.net . Does anyone know any other top of line super computer makers that compare with this one?

A. well to my knowledge the ultimate killer gaming pc includes these specs:
EVGA SR-2 Motherboard
2x Xeon processors
4x GTX 580's
48gb (4gb ram in all 12 slots)


Whats a good affordable computer to play games on?
Q. Has real good graphics and runs smooth and quick.

A. You can't 'name' a computer that is good for gaming, you have to custom build one yourself. That being said, I currently own a 2011 Mac Mini that has some pretty good specs for gaming (it can run Crysis no problem), so if you just install Windows on it you'll be good to go. You can get it for $799.

However, I suggest you just buy a PS3. Think about all the money you're going to spend on a computer just to play the EXACT same games as a console, except with fewer exclusives and features. On my PS3, I can play the likes of Killzone 3, Uncharted 2, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo 5, Demon's Souls, Ratchet & Clank, Disgaea 4, God of War 3, Resistance 3... The list just goes on. Plus, I get free online for every game (some PC MMO's are p2p), and I get to use a controller and sit on my nice comfy couch. You really want to lay down $500 or more just to sit at a desk in a cramped, upright position so you can play the same games I do? Yeah, don't think.

You can get a PS3 and about 3 games for under $300 at Gamestop. You'd be lucky to get a decent gaming PC for under $600 alone.
