HTIB System for computer?

I use a 52" LCD display for my computer monitor and I'd like to hook up a good speaker system to the computer to compliment the LCD display. I considered the higher-end LogiTech 5.1 systems, but now I'm wondering if I can buy a Home theater in a box system and hook that up to my PC...

Nvidia 8600GTS and 1920x1080

I'm using the standard VGA cable that I used with the last computer(which was able to get 1920x1080). It is connected to the TVs PC input and the computer's video card(with adapter since it's only DVI)

Nvidia 8600GTS and 1920x1080

Yeah it's a Samsung TV...I tried looking for a driver, but none is available...so it just shows the generic PnP driver in Windows. I found a thread somewhere about adding custom resolutions to the nvidia .inf file. I added the 1920x1080 but it will still not accept.

I should've mentioned, that I already did that. I downloaded the latest drivers and it still will not show 1920x1080 :(

Nvidia 8600GTS and 1920x1080

We have a Samsung 52" LCD display which has a native res of 1920x1080. I had a cheap Dell box using on-board graphics and it could run the LCD at 1920x1080 in Windows XP Pro just fine. So I bought a new Dell with an Intel Core 2 Duo and a Nvidia 8600GTS with Windows Vista Home, and I can't...

playing dvds

I am trying to play a DVD on a decent machine. It's a 6600 core 2 duo with 2gb of ram, and a ATI 1950xt 512mb video card. The DVD loads fine, Windows Media Player starts, and it starts playing the movie. However, after about 30 minutes, the video starts to stutter bad. It's not a bad DVD...

Upgrading laptop CPU

My concern is, while the T5200 is a C2D, the FSB is 533 where as the T7400 is 667.

Upgrading laptop CPU

Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the CPU in a laptop? I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 with the Intel T5200. I'd like to upgrade to the T7400. The sockets are the same, but I am not sure if the BIOS will recognize the faster chip. Thanks!

measuring GPU temp

Is there a small GPU temp utility for ATI x1950 cards that you can run while playing games? I want to log my GPU temps while playing games to find out if it's running too hot. Thanks!

fan blowing direction

Thanks for the hijack....j/k I have the same CPU cooler. Mine is facing the front of my case, sucking the air in towards the HS because I have a 120mm exhaust fan right behind it. So it sucks in the air, through the HS, and then is blown right out the back of the case.

hard drive for games

I already have a western digital 250gb SATA drive for my OS. I was hoping to get another SATA drive specifically to install on my games on. Is this a good idea? Will it improve game performance even if just slightly? I was thinking of a new 320gb Seagate or a Samsung. Thanks!
