I have a Droid X2 that has been flashed from Verizon to Cricket wireless. Over the course of the last 2 months it has become very slow to respond. Example would be at times taking up to 3 minutes to dial a number out. Or exit out of an app and have to wait up to a minute before the home screen...

Way back when I first started my PC gaming, games were being released all over the place. If it wasnt a full pricce game it was a mod for the game I already had. Quake, Unreal, Half-Life etc. all were great games. There was a mod community for each and never a dull moment. You couldn't download...

If you recently purchased a 6800 card in the hopes of unlocking the pipes and clocking it up for some bonus performance, you might have run into the same problem I recently did. There seems to be a lack of a help file in the RivaTuner. Hopefully, I will be able to answer many of the questions...
