I do, but no xbox live.... yet... Im new to consoles for shooters having done very little with them. Im playing through GRAW, and Dead rising to get used to controls and then im going to go online.

The side panel is off cause during the summer it got really hot in there. I figured why put it back on.

ok so i got my widescreen lcd today and am having trouble with the display.

Now the resolution it should be running at is 1400x900, which i can set through the catalyst taskbar shortcut thing where i "set desktop area to" the said resolution and its all fine and dandy.

but when i run a game and set the resolution onto 1280x800 as that is as far as it will go for me in game which works all fine, but when i quit the game the resolution of my desktop is now 1280x800 and is half way off the screen.

Now it doesnt allow me to choose the 1400x900 option on standard display properties through windows, but is there a way to set this as permenant resolution?


eeeeeeeeee

You're missing out on a lot not having it run in the higher res modes, i tried mine on the tv downstairs and it looked crap compared to my monitor settings, the way its set up now on my 20" dell its all the resolutions a hdtv can display. 1280x1024 at the minute but theres 1 other res i can select which is a bit higher.


Tried the ghost recon demo, never realy liked it, first person has no weapons models for some reason oOo:

So yeah I'm going to be building a computer soon, or my friend is actually. What kind of specs would you recommend for high end gaming? I want to be able to run alot of the new upcoming games, plus BF2,BF2142,HL2,Fear,etc... with smoothness. I'm ready to drop like 1,000 bucks on it, but I don't want to over spend. Oh and keep in mind a flashy case isn't that big a deal, and sound cards don't need to be super top line , seeing as I use headphones.

Also, seeing as I haven't really built a computer, what and how exactly does dual processors work?

a processor can only do 1 thing at any one time (process one thing at once) having two allows 2 things to be processed at the same time. Therefore drematically increasing performance.

Sweet. Now I just need to know what to put with it. What would you guys recommend for under 1,000, but still powerfull enough to run all the new games on decently high settings?
