Hello people. It's been a long long while, it's nice to be back. Anywho, I got myself a Samsung 205BW from years ago. It serves decently well for gaming. I don't game much anymore, nor do I do much graphic editing. I'm sure that will change though as during the summer, I'm due for a new build...

Greetings all, My PC has been [H]ardlocking. Vista bluescreens and hardlocks or segfaults in linux. (heh) lately. It's been working on and off for a while now. I tested the RAM via Memtest86+ and CPU through mprime (I'm a linux junkie) and all is clear. I also reseated the 7000Alcu I have. It...

This is probably a question you guys don't get too often. I have an old(er) CRT. A Viewsonic A90f+, I replaced it with a Samsung 205BW since it was giving me the pink screen where the cable is pretty much garbage. I want to replace the cable so I can go dual monitor if possible but the cable its...

I just got a 205bw last week. I hunted around the forums and am confused: Is this panel actually 8bit or 6 bit? There's a great debate behind it all. Overall, I'm digging the monitor no less;)

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good 8bit 20+ widescreen panel with multiple inputs (Component, DVI) and all that isn't gonna break the bank too hard. Any ideas? ;)

Well guys, first post back in a long time. I have much reading and catching up to do ;) I'm looking for a widescreen LCD. I do loads of Photoshop work and game often, so you got any suggestions? Generally, I wouldn't be asking such stupid questions but I haven't been around for a...

Anyways, if you've taken a look in here, you must be curious. For those with Serious Sam 2, and have passed this level: how do you unlock the 2nd gate? I've looked around everywhere for a solution but cannot find it.

Lately, I've had some random reboots. So, I decided that I should finally clean up the wires[that was fun, I did a good job too..] but when I went to turn on the PC, I got a RAM error. So, after reseating the sticks, it worked no problem but still random reboots. Rock stable programs like...

Before I begin, I have to say this isn't a flame war - let's keep it civil and such. I'm not flaming or anything...If you want flames, go light yourself on fire.[sarcasm] ;) ======================= Is AGEIA gonna be a flop like Infinium is so far? They are comparable, lots of publicity and...

Hello all, I have two little questions a)Where can you order those square push-in mounting bracket things for motherboard trays? and b) On a certain case I want to hack away on(Old case, just using the mobo tray), for the I/O port panel - The shield is held by some weird steel bit and...

Hello all, I'm using zlib and I'm compressing large files, the total is nearly 6gb of files. The largest one is around 1.01.gb. Eventually I get an overflow error and want to know if there's a solution to this problem - I am using a module...

Hello all, I was at a friend's house and he had a 712N, and I was quite suprised with it. It was analog, didn't ghost, had no dead pixels and no backlighting issues. I would go ahead and get one, just that there's one problem - it's analog. If I could find the equivalent of it, that is...

I've heard alot of talk about the digital out on the Audigy 2? Is it for SPDIF or what? Could sombody clear this up? Could it be used for SPDIF with my z680s? The jack is a standard 3.5mm one, yet I don't understand how I could use it for SPDIF and get 5.1 with my z680s.

In all 3D Games, I get this weird banding now - could it be artifacting or memory corruption? Anyways, yesterday - the machine was good, played few good rounds of HL2DM @ 1280*960 on max, no problems and today...Well, I turned it on - went into HL2DM, saw the banding, closed it off, went into...

Here, I'll start it off.

I got my copy of HL2 from my precious ATI coupon, so I decide to go play and now it's validating. Anybody has had this happen before to them that bought it off steam?

Hello all, since I just got my DVD Burner and I want to burn my HL2 Steam backup. Obviously, it is over 2gb and I know that ISO format has issues with files over 2gb. Is there any way of burning the HL2 Backup in Nero without any problems on DVD?

I want to terminate a process by name. Specifically, Steam which tends not be nice when loading up. Any suggestions? The Steam installer launches Steam, which I want to close instantly because there has to be some things to be done before it loads. Any suggestions or ideas?

Hello all, I have a 9800XT with VIVO(Rage Theatre). I have a console hooked up and want to know is there anyway to enhance the picture or make it better. I am also using dScaler but I do not know how to use it. ;) What would be some good suggestions?

Hello all, I have the Gigabyte Ga-8KXNP Rev 2.0 and it does a memory check on startup. The slow one, not where it detects the RAM fast but it slows down system boot. Anyway of stopping it from happening? I looked in the BIOS and found nothing

Where should I go from here? I ran 2 Prime Small FFT instances for 13 hours and sadly, it diped to 1.504V

What would be the best testing method for CPUs? Prime always gives me an error.

Hello all, I am asking what is a good 120mm fan that would serve good for an exhaust but does not make much noise I thought of several ones - Papst, Panaflo, Vantec Stealth? Akasa maybe? (I gotta get some of that PAX Mat stuff, how well does it work? :p )

When are they happening if they are? What will be cheaper and by how much? :D

Are there any Socket 939 motherboards that are PCI Locked and overclock well?

What would be the DVD Burner that the [H] people would recomend to me?

The 3000+ is $236.00 CAD and the 3200+ is $291.50 CAD. Since I am on a tight budget, which is the better buy? Does that extra 200+ make a difference? A bit off-topic: What motherboard should I pair with it? From what I have seen - the DFI overclocks but doesn't perform well. I want good...

What is the difference between a S939 3200+ and a S754 one besides that one is 130nm and the other is 90nm?

This looks like an interesting thing considering, I'd use the media station part. I'm still waiting for my OLED panel though... :D http://www.techspot.com/reviews/hardware/lg_flatron2320a/index.shtml

Which is better? :confused:

Which one to use? I cannot decide on either wire ties or heatshrink. Both have their cons and pluses. Fellow [H]'ers, help me decide. :D
