Hi, I have just fitted a 32meg ATI Radeon to a machine i built up for a friend. i was impressed with its functions and it has a comprehensive driver pack. It also has duel display support as standard & supports dvd playback. but best of all was its price £60 + vat @ simply computers This is...

check out the web site of the motherboard manufacture, if you dont know this write down the bios part no. that is displayed when you boot the machine. it will be on the first screen you see. then using a search engine such as webferret enter the number in the search field. this should return a...

if you are going to us a radeon card why not take advantage of its inbuilt duel display function. i have just built a system with one similar to the spec you need and it worked fine. as a bonus it was also only £60+vat from simply computers here in the uk

i dont know if this will work but, this will only work one way around and it will depend on which machine has the cable modem. assuming the machine that has the cable modem is the work machine and has the files you need to work on in the evening. the computer with a cable modem is...

pebe, it just occured to me, if the dvd drive can read dvd data dics, such as you get on the front of magazines but not movies. you may have the region codes set incorrectly for the dvd player software. be carefull if you play with these settings, as on most players you only get 4 adjustments...

pebe, no dont remove windows, audio or video drivers. just your dvd software. windows doesnt need a specific driver to operate the dvd player, it sees it using its standard cd drive driver. this is all it needs. no to read dvd (data) dics you dont need any software, but to read dvd movies you...
