Hello folks, I stupidly posted this on another folder...but posting here in the correct folder now. I've run into some kind of a pickle. I haven't OC'd in so long that I just didn't pay attention to how delicate the OC was on my system when I plugged in new ram (8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1333...

Hello folks. I've run into some kind of a pickle. I haven't OC'd in so long that I just didn't pay attention to how delicate the OC was on my system when I plugged in new ram (8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1333 9-9-9-24). I have the following: x3350 (x8 multi) = 2.67ghz evga 790i Ultra SLi...

Ok, I'm in an unusual position, where I actually took delivery of BOTH CPUs. I'm wondering which processor I should try and OC first. Which one would OC better? The Xeon or the regular Q9450? Any ideas?

Here's a link to this insane screen. HUGE SCREEN A bit bulky but exciting to see DLP and OLED technology being used together to show off an amazing display! I'd love to see which [H] member will get this first when it comes out :)

It's been a long while since I've tinkered with my rig and with CRYSIS, it's become painfully apparent that my current rig is becoming quite sluggish. So...having been an Intel user for most of my PC-using life, I wanted to return to the Intel side and enjoy some of the splendor of C2D. I know...

Is there a way to make my current box (which is an XP box) a dual boot, without having to wipe out my XP box? I bought a new hard drive. I'm wondering is it possible to install the new drive and lay down Vista while keeping my XP drive as a slave and making the PC somehow Dual Boot? I've...

Hey guys, Sorry, it's a bit crazy these days for me. I wanted to know what you guys think about waiting or buying now. I currently have an AMD Opteron 170 OC'd and it's been serving me VERY well (my first foray into AMD). I'd like to come back to Intel and I've been wanting a Core 2...

Hello everyone. I've been using a very old Linksys router for the past 5-6 years (BE????? - something or another). I've just purchased a LINKSYS WRT54G. I haven't opened the box yet, but I wanted to know, what types of things I should be aware of concerning security of the wireless...

Has anyone read or heard any reviews on this BLU-RAY combo drive? I'm looking to get a BLU-RAY drive for my PC, since it's already connected to my 37" 1080P screen. Any info on this drive would be helpful. Just wondering if it's quality for 600.00 dollars. Thanks in advance! BT

Hi everyone. I'm currently running a 7950GX2 card. I can't complain. However, I did upgrade my screen to 37" westy and I feel that the card is really working hard. Will the new 8800 GTXs work on my motherboard and system? Will I need to replace anything to accomodate this crazy card...

Alright, so I've been doing some reading on these pages about large format displays. I'm interested in the DELL 3007, but I'm also noticing people complaining about this display. I know it's been out for most of the year, with Jacuzz1 providing some amazing feedback and images of his...

Ok, I've been reading through all the connection lost threads, and no one seems to have a definitive solution to the problem. I've never had this connection lost error on my old rig, but my new rig is dropping me 10 secs to 1 min into the game. What gives? Is it because this new rig is...

I was installing XP on my new rig... when at the end of HDD partitioning (74GB Raptor) I get a memory error that tells me to restart. When I restart, I get NTLDR is missing error. No matter what I do, I can't circumvent the error to boot from CD. If someone can help me boot from CD, I...

Hey folks. I'm building my first gaming rig with an aftermarket heatsink. I power up the computer and it posts, but the fan doesn't spin after the initial boot. I'd say, right after I press the power button it goes for about 3-5 seconds and then just dies (no light, no spinning). Is...

Can someone PLEASE explain to me what the difference between the different 7800 GTs in the EVGA product line are? I see: 7800 GT CO 7800 GT CO SE 7800 GT Is that the order of best to worst? The website doesn't really clear things up for me much either. Your help on this would be...

Hello people. I'm very seriously considering buying this motherboard. But I am seeing a lot of questions on this forum, regarding issues with booting with this mobo. This is my FIRST foray into AMD, and I have never built a gaming rig with the intent to OC. So I am wondering now, will...

What is the general concensus here regarding purchasing OPTERON 170 at the current price break? Will the price continue to stay low or is this is a "Get it NOW" type of price break? Anyone know? Thank you.

Hello folks. New here. I can't think of anyone I know to ask this question, so I came here. I am planning on purchasing the A8N-Sli Premium motherboard...I have been considering the AMD 64 x2 3800+ Processor. This will be my FIRST AMD rig, and require a lot of input and guidance as...
