graphics cards reviews 2009
Why does our computer make a horribly high pitched beeping noise after installing this graphics card?
My lady and I have tried to get a 512mb Geforce 8800 GT PCI-Express card into her 2009 Gateway desktop (specs found here: http://www.gateway.com/product_spec.php?product_recid=529668236 , review here http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/59109/review/dx420011.html ), but it emits a high pitched ‘something-is-wrong’ sort of noise whenever we do. We thought it was a power supply issue, so we spent too much money upgrading it to 600w (doubling its wattage), and it makes the same unbearable noise still.
We know we are amateurs, but what is wrong with this system? Why will it not accept this graphics card??
Defective fan on the video card or you didn’t hook up the power supply to the video card.

Windows 7 Review: Should I buy Windows 7?
With the release of Windows 7 on October 22 2009, Microsoft aims to make it the most formidable operating system ever. Windows Vista which released in 2006,was good but was a nightmare in terms of performance. What worked to Windows Vista’s disadvantage was that it needed significant hardware upgrade for Windows XP users who have been used to the same hardware for many years; for instance RAM requirements extended to gigabites. Just as Windows XP released after the unstable Windows ME, Windows 7 has released to correct the issues in Windows Vista. Though Windows Vista required hardware upgrade, Windows 7 will work comfortably in computers that have been around in the past couple of years. In other words, if you had been using Windows Vista, do not fear; Window 7 will work like butter on it, smooth and easy. Even better news is the fact that Window 7 runs much faster than Windows Vista. Try installing Vista on your Asus netbook and it will slow down your system, but if you run it on Windows 7, it will work smoothly. For Windows XP users: If you are using Windows XP, and want to upgrade to Windows 7 Home or Windows 7 Professional, you will have to go for a clean install, which means you have to wipe everything on your computer. But once installed, Windows 7 runs smoothly; in fact, it will be up and running in an hour. It will pick up the printer drivers and graphic cards effortlessly, but it will struggle to find Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers, which implies that you will have to manually search for them. The Look of Windows 7: Windows 7 is very much like Vista in terms of look and appearance. In case of Windows 7, the icons look bigger and polished. The best feature of Windows 7 is the new taskbar at the bottom of the screen. Mac fans may not really be jumping high on this because this is a replication of the dock concept, which the maverick operating system is known for. The unique task bar of Windows 7 will show all applications that are currently open and you will be able to ‘pin’ applications that you will mostly use. If you right-click on an icon in the taskbar, the ‘Jump List’ feature will open that shows the actions most associated with that particular application. So, if you right click on the Internet Explorer, you will see the URLs of recently visited websites and the option to open a new tab. If you right-click on MS Word, you will see recently used files as well as the option to open a new one.

What is your favorite Hunting PC game ?
I see alot of them and all have mixed reviews.
I want one that is easy, I just want to shoot and kill.I dont want to wait 30 minutes looking for one animal,I want to hunt but just not so time consuming.I dont want to have to buy ammo or run out and have to worry about health ect…
Or a realistic game that has an easy mode or something.
I want something with graphics like those Cabelas or Deer Hunt games were you can choose different landscapes.
My PC is P4 2.66 ghz with a 256 mb GeForce 6200 PCI card, I can play Call of Duty 2 and it plays perfect and Trackmania,so it can handle decently.Probably not new 2009-2010 games though.
It is so fun My Wicked,you have got to try it.Listen to the defenseless animal screaming and just leave it there.
Sicko! Who would want to kill ANYTHING?
I count killing a frikkin ANT as murder, let alone a deer! How do people want to abuse animals? So sickening
