If you own a Adaptec Gamebridge AV 1400 or 1410, You may be wondering if this works on Windows Vista. Do a search on the internet and you will see many people have tried, but cannot get the installation CD to recognize the device and install the drivers. Here is the correct procedure for Vista:1. Keep your Adaptec Gamebridge unit unplugged from the USB Port.2. Insert the CD. When a box comes up, click on the option that allows you to browse the contents of the disc. 3. Double Click on the Softwa...

In my last article I mentioned how bad Best Buy bites for their prices to install software.

Well... Heres a new one. Circuit City Firedog.

Look at their prices..... Software installation $29.99 Okay that sounds a little bit more reasonable then what I saw at Best Buy. But are some people going to use that just to install Junior's ABC 123 game because they dont know how? Better let Junior install it himself/herself. Turns out kids know much more how to operate their parents computers then...

Okay. So most of us are all suckers when it comes to new software. We really want it. We go out and by it. Now theres some of us out there that cannot use it? What? You can't use it? Im sorry to hear that. What should we do about it? Well, You can try and install it and set it up yourself. I can't promise you that it will work. I also can't promise you the stability of an O/S after installation. You're pretty much on your own. Unless you of course are a sucker to pay for help. Yep thats right. T...

I bought a Gigabyte Geforce 4 MX4000 128MB Video card and its performing quite nicely for the games I currently own.

Its nothing fancy , and Im always one to buy games in the jewel case departments , so its not going to hurt my lil 250 w power supply

As for the other card. "Returned to sender for a refund"

I just installed a GF FX 5500 AGP 8X 256MB. Now newegg and XFXforce.com claims it requires a 250w min pwr supply. When I got the box in , it said 300.

Being the clutz I am , I broke my Nyko Airflo Mouse on the floor by dropping it by mistake

So I went out to best buy and purchased a Logitech Optical Football Mouse.

The design of the mouse on top , you guessed it , a football.

Apparently they have these in different designs too , such as a ladybug , spongebob , etc.

This mouse may be a bit small , but its darn good for the $10.00 and tax I paid for it at best buy.

I just bought an EVGA e-Geforce FX 5200 128MB Light Edition and it said requires min of 300 watts for the power supply. However my research on the web showed that a majority of the FX5200 cards sold today only requires a 250 watt power supply. My supply is 250 watts.

I played NHL 2005 on full detail (minus the antiailsing I dont use that anyways I mean if it plays without it , it plays without it right ? ) And ... I encountered no Lockups.

Inside my tower .. I have one AGP Slot and 3 PCI ...
