    GTX 260 Artifacting?

    I'm not an expert when it comes to GPUs and I've never had an issue with overheating or the related in the past, but recently I believe my evga 260 card is artifcating. I question this because it only seems to occur on one screen out of my dual-setup. I've googled the issue and can't seem to...

    Plantronics RMA - Anyone with previous experience?

    I just had to send in my GameCom 777 headset last week to Plantronics, after owning it since Sept. the plugs disconnected themselves from the primary cord. I've never had to RMA anything to Plantronics before, as this was my first product from them. I was curious if anyone has or has been in...

    WTB: 4gb of DDR2 (800) Ram - Preferably OCZ

    Title says it all. Seeing as DDR2 prices seem to have skyrocketed within a few months, I refuse to pay $100 for a set I purchased a few months back for half that. Again I would prefer OCZ (to match with my current set) but as long as its DDR2 (800) and 2 x 2gb, I'll be a happy man. Heatware...

    Will an eVGA 260 fit a Antec Super Lanboy?

    So I've been thinking of upgrading my vid card for awhile, as I believe I may have maxed out the full potential of my 8800gt.
