This would really help me a lot if someone could tell me. thanks.
What is the adapter called that you can plug into your Portable DVD player so you can hook up a gaming system?
I believe you are thinking of either an RF Modulator, or a Camcorder cable. Below are brief explanations of each - if neither of these are what you are after, please update the question and I'll get back to it.
An RF Modulator lets you hook up either a gaming system or a Portable DVD player to an old TV which has a coaxial plug, but does not have RCA inputs.
A camcorder cable is one common way to connect a video game console to a Portable DVD player. However, this would depend on the player's available inputs. If there is one small hole for both audio and video, then a Camcorder Cable should work (See here: http://www.thesourcecc.com/images/Online... ). However, if there are seperate inputs for video and audio, you will need two cables. These cables described above can be found at Radio Shack or the average electronic store.
I hope this helps!

What are the parts that I will need for a gaming and a video editing computer?
I will use this computer with Windows XP and I will use Microsoft Word just for school work. What are the parts that I will need for my computer (I really mean like the parts that you would reccomend). I would like to not have to spend over $1,000 but I don't need the best either.
What are the parts that I will need for a gaming and a video editing computer?
You'll be able to get one for less than $1,000. I recommend a Dell because they have good customer service and honor their warranty. Mainly: you'll want a dual core processor, 2GBs of memory, and a nice large screen. You're looking at $700-800. Get some nice speakers too. M-audio makes great studio speakers for $99
Reply:I put a lot of a reccomend and my computer it was very slow so i deleted some of the reccomend.
Reply:You could use this mobo:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...
or this combo: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...
add this memory:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...
Harddrive/s: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/... I suggest at least 500GB for video editing, you're gonna' need the room! If it's in the budget, a Western Digital Raptor, for the gamin'! 10,000rpm, should do it, 15,000 isn't that necessary.

What upgrades can I get to this computer to make it a better gaming machine?
My Computer is almost 2 years old. It is running a...
- AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3000+1809 Mhz Processor
- GeForce 6800 256MB PCI-Express Graphic Card
- 2GB Non-Parity DDR PC3200 RAM (4 x 512mb)
-150 GB Harddrive
- RealTek AC 97 Audio Soundcard (piece of crap)
- Windows XP Pro
ALL OF THIS is running through an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard. I've got 2 fans in there too... not sure if that makes a difference.
I know this its a little old, but I am having a particularily hard time with Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 - even with nothing running in the background! I can't even play it on half quality graphics settings without the game running slow. Other games (HL2, Age of Empires 3) run okay close to max graphics, but are still not all the way there.
I am looking to spend about $750 on upgrades to make the machine run smoother and faster. Is there hope for this machine? If there is, what would give me the best results? New Motherboard? Card? Processor?examples plz!

Using registry cleaner can fix your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there are some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
Everytime you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!It even can speed up your computer by 300% or more!
There are some comparison and review of TOP 5 registry cleaners.

You can download and scan your computer for free.
Reply:you have a good enough system to be running high end gaming with, although it wouldnt hurt to upgrade your processor to say a 3800+
Reply:Get a dual core processor maybe? I dont know why Tycoon would lag.... you have a nice setup I think. Also your processor is 1809 mhz? Look again, cause there should probably be a decimal in there somewhere
Reply:Well, I heard about problems with the geforce 6800, so make sure you have the latest graphics drivers for one. Also, make sure you clean any old graphics drivers out; sometimes they linger. Read the detailed intructions on nvidia site.
Get a 64 bit operating system. Vista is known to slow down performance a little compared to XP, but it's like 3% according to the study I saw, so I'd say go for vista 64. Vista is very stable and secure, and if you're online gaming that's important. Also, a 64 bit OS can support more memory.
A lot of new technology is coming out for graphics cards recently to implement Direct X; wait for that.
A fancy gaming sound card will most likely just mess with your computer. A real reciever/amp and real speakers accepting a line from your current card will give very decent sound -- maybe not the digital surround experience as creative but such a card will slow things down.
Hard Drive performance is crucial. SAS technology (replacing SATA) is the way to go. I think there is a good buy of a Hitachi model with 15k RPM and 73GB for around $300. More space will mean longer seek times, so try to keep your main "installed programs" drive as small as possible with as little data on it. Store your media, etc, on 2nd drive.
These are the things I suggest in your budget...I think you have a good processor for gaming. The intel quad cores are $1200 a piece and that techology is changing too. Save up your money so you can afford a big step up when it comes out. If you are burning to spend money, consider:
A better internet connection (low ping for the win)
Second monitor
Nice gaming mouse/keyboard
A good chair
a $750 supply of mountain dew amp

I would look at http://www.cyberguys.com and http://www.tigerdirect.com
Basically, anything that gets the laptop off the desk so that air can get to the bottom of it will help. The laptop stands with with fans are even better.

What Specs to look for when buying an HDTV for gaming?
My budget right now is around $900 but will save up more if necessary.
What Specs to look for when buying an HDTV for gaming?
You WILL WANT to SAVE MORE !!
In a few words You want the MOTION Flow or 120Hz refresh rate TV sets out there with 8ms and preferably 4ms RESPONSE time on the LCD....
More Candles and Higher Contrast Ratios on those too
It was built for Hi Speed Gaming....
There is another company that has built the Vyper Drive technology and I think it's Toshiba, but it's rated at 100 Hertz instead of 120 Hertz like the SONY TVs are....
But you want the Higher refresh rates for Better sharpness of the picture...
And $900 will NOT give you a gaming TV set...NO Where near it at all....
So come back next year with more money and you might have enough for the Gen 1 Motion Flow TVs out there....
Reply:yeah you have 25 years of servicing t.v.'s but you're off your rocker. most people don't spend more than 500$ on a t.v. dude, just find a 1080p HDTV that recieves digital signals and has HDMI inputs for optimum picture. regardless if it's a 360 or ps3 they both support 1080p. the only negative is price limits size significantly.
and they only time you should really worry about gettting good frame refresh rates is when you play computer games due to the monitor clarity which blows a t.v. out of the water (1080p or not).
Reply:Yep, you can get a good deal for $900. I'd defo go for 1080p and a decent contrast ratio. Great deals to be found at
http://www.pricecutreview.com/US/salesra...
Reply:The main specs you need to look for are refresh rate and the image processor. For refresh rate you want 8ms and below and 100 Mhz and above for optimal functionality.
TV TECH man won't like this, but I have heard from TONS of people that game on the 360 that the Vizio provides a good picture for both gaming as well as TV and movies. If you can't wait to save more and you need a HDTV right now, that would be a descent one to get and should be able to last you 3-4 years at the least. I definately suggest saving up to $1500 and looking somewhere in that range. For that you can get a good size set from a name brand company.

Can anyone tell me about colleges and universities where online gaming is either prohibited or impossible?
I know Grove City College in Pennsylvania
has their system structured so that students cannot play games online...there must be others, right? tell me about them....is there a
website that lists them?
Can anyone tell me about colleges and universities where online gaming is either prohibited or impossible?
Why are you trying to ban it? Even if it is not wired to allow it you can still do it on a wireless connection.
Maybe you should be more concerned about how good the college is for your career choice and less about the gaming community.
Reply:To Kev: I don't know, but it is possible that this person has a gambling addiction and wants to avoid temptation. It would be like an alcoholic choosing to go to a dry college. I wish I could help you, but I really don't know if there are other colleges which block gambling. I wish you luck in finding a good place, though.
