What kind of specs do you need for a gaming computer? not hardcore gaming?

Q. Im looking to buy a computer, and i've been researching it on craigslist and yahoo answers and people say that amd or intel are good for gaming. What kind of other specs are also needed to play online games like Counterstrike and Diablo, by the way im not looking for the best of the best parts im not a hardcore gamer just decent stuff :) thanks for your feedback.

A. If you're really on a budget - whichever of those games have the higher demands, I'd say get at LEAST the recommended specs, plus some type of broadband capabilities since you mentioned online play.

However, what is hardcore today will be fairly old news in the near future. So I generally recommend a system with many upgradability options. Of course, again it all depends on your budget. Besides the advancement in add-ons eventually makes things incompatible - so getting something too upgradeable can prove ineffective as well.

Can I use many accounts to participate on yahoo answers different person?

Q. Okay, if in one house got 4 children's and all of them register the yahoo account from same computer on the closing time, all of them log in to yahoo answers on the same computer on different time, will their accounts get terminate?

A. Only one account id can be used on questions and answers. If they each have their own email address, then yes they can. As long as they are not using the accounts to Point Game with each other. That is a fine line, because it shows up as the same isp address. Looks like someone with many accounts.

I want to combine a desktop with a monitor or tv screen?

Q. Hi, I want to buy a desktop also for playing games. But that's not my problem. I'm wondering if I should buy a monitor or tv screen. I want to watch tv (in time with 3D), play computer games and also ps3 games.
I think that i need a tv screen because ? Can I use the tv screen than also as a monitor for my desktop?
Or is it also possible to watch tv with a monitor? If so, what should you recommend to buy, a monitor or a tv screen?
Thanks.

A. Actually there are already many people using a TV instead of using a computer monitor, especially people who likes to play games on a big screen.

I also have a 55" TV connected to my desktop. I use it as a regular computer monitor such as web surfing, computer games, and watching downloaded videos. I also have my satellite cable connected to my TV, so I can watch TV programs in my room. I can watch TV by simply changing the input device from Input1 to a TV, then change to another to watch bluray movies or to play my wii games.

It's really easy and convenient to use as a computer monitor. You only need to connect your computer and TV via correct wires/cables. I like to use the TV screen better than using a computer monitor because it's cheaper for the size and I can utilize it in many ways.

My recommendation for a computer monitor TV is LG 47LW5600 or 55LW6500. I read many reviews complimenting those two models and they are very affordable for what they can do. It also has 3D feature and internet connectivity so you can play any 3D games or watch anything in 3D on your computer.

can I play 3d games and 3d movies using ATI Radeon 4870 x2?

Q. Hello everybody.
I'm planning to buy a 3D TV -Samsung PS-51D550
but before I do so, I need to make sure If I have to change my computer display card. Currently I have ATI Radeon HD 4870 x2 installed.
Will it help me playing 3d games and movies on my new TV?

A. The main platform for 3D is only for nvidia cards, 9000 series and up. The only way to get 3d with an ati card now is to get an IZ3D monitor. I'd definitely go with an nvidia card over a new monitor. A 4870x2 is the equivalent of a 5870, so if you got a 560ti you'll get pretty much the same performance with much less noise, heat, and power consumption. Your next step up would be a gtx 570 which would be about 20% better than what you have now.
