I am using a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H rev 1.1 w/ and just dropped in a shiny new 1090T. Previously I was using an old Phenom I X4 9850 and could achieve stable 2200mhz nb speed. Now I am using a new bios to support the newer cpu and the options are a little different. I have tried setting...

I recently have been doing a little more gaming and some games are slightly slower than I would like. I currently have Phenom X4 9850 BE @ 2.8ghz(might be able to go higher with a better cooler though) Gigabyte GA-MA78M-S2H mobo 4GB Kingston hyperx ddr2 PCP&C Silencer psu(can't remember how...

I just got a new G700 mouse from amazon based on some rave reviews here... Not too pleased so far. Whenever I move the mouse around I can very obviously hear something rattling around near the top/front of the mouse. Also the mouse wheel just moves freely with absolutely no resistance- piece...

I ordered a XFX 5870 XXX super cool porn name edition from ncixus last week. The card showed in stock when I ordered it, and continued to show in stock for another 12 hours or so until it disappeared. They did not ship my card out before new year's day, but they did charge me in full :rolleyes...

When I try to start AMD Overdrive I get a runtime error. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version from amd's site various times. I have tried running it as admin, in compatibility mode etc. It worked fine for me in windows xp 32 bit, but now that I am using windows 7 64 bit...

The fry's ad in the LA Times shows that they are selling Infamous for $39.80 and that Uncharted comes free with it. Looks like its just in store. Nice deal if you don't have either of these games! Infamous is ok, but Uncharted is one of the best console games I have ever played.

Ok, so I got a PS3(160GB variant) for christmas as an absolute surprise. I am not a console gamer at all(except for some wii action now and again, most of my gaming is on the PC), and I haven't been since the snes/genesis days. I've never thought about getting a ps3 or 360 or anything so...

specs are as follows VisionTek 3870 Asrock 939 Dual SATA2 X2 3800+ 4x512mb Kingston HyperX 650W PCP&C silencer XP SP2 So I have had this card since january or so and recently I have been having more and more problems that seem to be related to the card. I have been able to play...

I have had a horrible experience with Sapphire cards- not worth getting into. I've noticed a lot of the ati-based solutions only have a 1 year warranty. I really want to get ATI, but not if I will be screwed once the card buys it. I'm now looking at VisionTek- they claim to have a "lifetime"...

My dad's PC is having an odd issue. The other morning he informed me that his PC wasn't working. I went to go check it out and noticed that nothing at all happened when I tried to power it on. I unplugged all the external power connections and let it sit while I thought about what to do. I had...

I use my PC to output to my bedroom HDTV, but I have yet to build a dedicated HTPC, and I would like to have one hooked up to the bigscreen. I obviously would like to do this on the cheap, would appreciate any ideas on how to make it better and/or cheaper. All it needs to be able to do is...

I have had this philips 30PW8420/37B CRT HDTV for nearly 2 years now, picked it up as a refurb. It had some problems when I got it(geometry etc that I fixed) but other than that it has been fine. I use a DVI->HDMI adaptor to play video from my PC to the TV and have been using that connection...

I have not found anything about this game on search.... Does anyone that has played the RE4 wii version think that it is worth buying if you already have played(and loved) the gamecube version? I'm thinking about getting it. Any improvements? Any special reason to play it over the gamecube...

PCP&C Silencer 610W. $150 from local Fry's(most of the units were open box or had been ripped open in store for some reason). Also seeing the made in China sticker was pretty disappointing, I remember when these used to be made in the USA. Anyways I just got it home and home and powered the...

I am writing this from a half-working PC that I just assembled from old, spare parts... My main system is/was as follows: Asrock dual 939 SATA 2 X2 3800+ 4x512mb kingston hyperx X1900 GT PCIE Enermax 550w PSU WD Raptor 74GB SATA 2xMaxtor 300GB SATA The other night I was playing a...

I was playing eve thismorning before downtime. I had no problems playing until the server went down. Later, I saw the server was back up. I tried to connect but simply got an error message reading "Connection Timeout - The server did not respond to the client's secure-handshake request within a...

I am taking a look at the X1900GT on newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102022 They have also offered me an additonal $50 credit for a massive fuck up on their part. So I could basicly get thatcard for ~$100. I can't find a head to head comparison. How much...

Has anyone figured out how to make your own s-video cable for the wii? Or does anyone know where I can get a wii s-video cable for "cheap"? I already bought a component cable(about $45 after tax and shipping so I don't want to spend much more), s-video would be nice for playing on SDTVs that...

I noticed that tomorrow, Office Depot has a 2GB "Dane-Elec" SD card for $50 in store, and then with a $25 rebate. Does anyone know if this brand is know for being reliable or unreliable? IIRC memory cards really only have a finite number of reads/writes before errors start cropping up- or is...

I bought the Toysrus Wii bundle a couple weeks back. I got Zelda, Red Steel, and Excite Truck. I really only wanted Zelda. Has anyone been able to return games they purchased as part of a bundle? The reciept doesn't obviously state that it is a bundle anywhere... Any other way I can get back...

My dad bought a $350 Canon photoprinter/scanner/copier/fax etc... After about a month of use it stopped working. He called canon and took it to the shop, it worked perfectly there. Then it would never work at home. I took the thing and gently rocked it back and forth and then it worked again- so...

I've never played anything on the GC, and I just got a Wii. I purchased RE4 at toys r us for $10. What else should I get? I like shooters and action games, adventure. Also anything with a GOOD story pretty much. Here is a list of games that support widescreen apparently... many also...

Just got a Wii, would like to see what some of the GC titles are all about. Send me a PM if you have a wireless controller and/or memory card you would like to get rid of.

I know we have a lot of Wii threads, but I didn't see one dedicated to games. What games are good besides Zelda? I got that and also Red Steel and Excite Truck(f'ing toys r us will only sell the console if you buy 3 games). Excite Truck looks interesting just because of the control scheme. I...

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to mix files from 2 different driver versions. My problem is that Planetside requires you to use an obsolete driver(and a pre-1k series card) for the game to work properly. If I use an older driver I have some problems with my HDTV. Does anyone know if I...

I have a Sapphire X800 XT PE. Does anyone know what size the two screws holding the heatsink retention thing are? I had to really mangle one of them to get it off(couldn't find the right size screw driver apparently). Now it's hard to try to thread it back in. Or alternatively does anyone...

So I have been using a Sapphire X800 XT PE for a while. I am having a ton of problems with it so I managed to get a hold of a Sapphire X1600 Pro to use for the weekend. I really can't believe the difference in quality. In games the ghosting that I previously attributed to my LCD is no longer...

I have a Sapphire X800XT PE I have been having a lot of trouble with. I have had intermittent crashes and visual artifacts in games. Once I even had the card seemingly "shut off" during normal windows use, my monitor just stopped getting a signal. I suspect it may be overheating. I've seen it...

I remember having a pair of Wicked3d "EyeScream" glasses and they were amazing with my Voodoo2 SLI. Since those days it seems like nvidia has had a little support for stereovision, but not much and none from ATI? Stereoscopic gaming was really awesome. I don't see why this isn't more common...

Setup: ASRock Dual939 SATA-2 X2 3800+ 2xKingston 512MB HyperX X800XT PE 74GB WD Raptor 550w Enermax WinXP SP2 So just today I got on teamspeak to do some gaming. After a while my friend says that he sees the green light but doesn't hear me. So I figure it's on his end and message...

I have a Philips 30" Widescreen CRT HDTV & an 800XT PE. I've been playing some oblivion on the TV via component out. It took an awful lot of tweaking in powerstrip and in the tv's menu to get the colors to look about the same as my monitor. I also am using a tweaked 1280x720 resolution for best...

May not want to read if you haven't done the Dark Brotherhood/Thieves guild stuff... Anyways I got the mission to kill Adamus Phillida of the Imperial Legion. I went into the barracks and waited for him to be sleeping. I noticed he still had his armor on so I decided to steal from him- he...

ftp://www.uli.com.tw/driver/Integrated220.zip.rar These were released fairly recently, has anyone tried them out on an ASRock Dual-939 SATA2? I still have a very old bios(don't think my vcore mod will work past 1.2) and very old drivers for this mobo. Any advantage to grabbing the newer...

So I am working on a bit of a HTPC style setup here. I've seen 500GB SATA drives for $300+, but I also noticed these 300GB Maxtor drives for $109 on outpost http://shop1.outpost.com/product/4116853 Is there any reason not to get two of these drives? CA tax is ~$20 and overnight shipping $14...

I've posted this in some other places, but I'm really getting desperate for any ideas on my situation. Back in December a purchased a refurb Philips 30PW8420/37B(30" CRT HDTV) from their online store. Since I got the TV I've had problems with the aspect ratio. The picture is stretched...

I've been told ATI has released multithreaded drivers, but I haven't been able to find any evidence of this. Is it true, are there benchmarks? I'm using an X800XT PE w/ 5.13s and X2 3800+ @ 2.4...

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7142013&type=product&id=1110264240514 They have a 100 pack of memorex 16x DVD-R for $19.99. This is the media I normally use and it works great. I picked up 3 spindles of 100 today :D

Does this make any sense to anyone? Setup: Abit NF7-S Athlon XP Barton 2500+ Kingston HyperX PC3200 CL2 512MB 350W PSU(unknown brand that came with case, had been using my enermax but its in my newer rig now). GeForce2(also swapped good video card into new rig) WD SE 120GB IDE (Win...
