What Video/graphic card is suitable with this spec?

Hi all,

Sorry to intrude into this topics. I need help regarding video/graphic card.

Currently my PC spec is as below

AMD Athlon II x4 635 2.9Ghz 2MB
ASUS M4N68T-M V2
2 x 2GB Kingston DDR3 PC1333
Gigabyte PoweRock 390W power supply
Dell U23H11 monitor

Now using CPU, there is no DVI-D port.

I want to optimize this monitor capability when watching HD by connecting my CPU with the monitor using DVI-D connection. I guess the images will be more clear and sharp.
What Video/graphic card is suitable with above spec?

As I said my main priority is to watch HD movies. Sometimes I also playing light game (GTA, Tomb Rider).

Thanks for help.

Windows 7 freeze

Hello everybody.

I just build my new desktop and install it with W7 Ultimate 64.

Now my PC freeze every time I open any web browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox). Start button and all open program at bottom taskbar will not respond.

Only mouse still functioning (but the icon change to busy symbol).

Though I can open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), but once it open, the freeze continue.

The only way to get back control is to reset my PC. The PC will work fine (transfer file, watching movie, do office work) as long as I don't open any browser.

I already check that my hardware drivers/bios all is latest version.

This is my PC spec

Athlon II x4 635
ASUS M4N68T-M V2
2 x 2GB Kingston DDR3 1333
Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB hard disk

Please me

Wi-Fi cannot connect

Hello,

I have a problem. My laptop lately cannot connect to my wi-fi @ home.

This happen only recently. Lately I notice that there is another wi-fi exist (probably my next door neighbour).

What I can conclude is whenever this wi-fi is on, I cannot connect to my wi-fi. Sometimes I manage to get the connection after many times restart my laptop, but the connection won't last long. 10-15 mins tops it will disconnect again. I do refresh network, but my laptop cannot detect my wi-fi even though I bring my laptop next to it. Even if found my wi-fi (sometimes) and I click connect, it simply won't connect and give error msg.

The strange thing is if I use cable, then it is OK. Futhermore, my BB and my wife laptop don't have any problem to connect with my home wi-fi. And, when this neighbour wi-fi is off, only then I can connect back to my wi-fi using my laptop.

So, really need help here. Seems that my neighbour wi-fi somehow so powerful can block my laptop from detect my own wi-fi at my own house. BTW, my laptop already 4+ years old (too old perhaps, tht's why not so powerfull?). And I'm using Wireless ADSL2+ Router D-Link brand.

Thank you.

Full HD requirement

Full HD requirement

tat_lee — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 09:27:42 +0800

I need some guidance here.

I'm planning to buy a desktop. Since I'm loved to watch movies, I would like to have desktop that can watch Full HD movies.

From my understanding, this is what I must have

1) Movie file in HD format
2) A Full HD monitor with HDMI port
3) Graphic Card that have HDMI port
4) HDMI cable (to connect between CPU and Monitor)

So, i have a few question below
-The monitor size must above 19", below than that it is only HD, not Full HD. Is that true?
- Without the HDMI port for either CPU or Monitor, though u can view it thru normal VGA cable, it still won't be as clear as using HDMI cable. Is this true?
- Does I need minimum Intel i3 processor, so it won't lag when playing it?

Thank you in advance
