    I wouldn't update the processor yet, wait until there is a BIOS release then look at the list for supported chips on your board.

    This means that the HD3650 is better than a 8600GT in game, but with AA and/or AF enabled I think that the 8600GT is better or the same. I also think that the ATI Avivo for this card is better than the Nvidia PureVideo for the 8600T, but II will have the final say after all I will be the ginny...

    9300GE is slower than the 8600GT but the 9500GS is basically the same card, the 9500GS DDR2 512MB vs the 8600GT DDR2 512MB are exactly equal now the 9500GS DDR3 512MB vs the 8600GT 256MB DDR3 the 9500GS should win by a little they use the same chip after all the new 9500GS was just a HDMI...

    Hi guys I just made a discovery I found out that the Galaxy 8600GT has no SPIDF header so there is no sound possible trough it and if your tv does not have HDMI with Audio ports then you will have to use alternative speakers (Which you should be using; on that huge TV!). Anyways I found out that...

    Knowing how HP works... they should release a new BIOS rev with extra microcode support for the Irvine-GL6E hopefully within the next month or so. I guess if you find some one with the s3500t you could tell them to do a BIOS dump and then flash it onto your motherboard.

    Monitor scratch

    Hey guys I got a mechanical lead pencil scratch on my monitor which resembles a dead pixel but is actually like a puncture that didn't go trough (the size of a small needle head) I hadn't noticed it for months but I guess I just didn't see it. Is there any way to fix this? The depth of the...

    Hardforum made the chaintech 8600GT famous check it out in the (NEW)egg. As far as I know I never had a power problem or freeze with my slimline running @ 4GB w/ X2 5000+ (B) 2.6Ghz/ Chaintech 8600GT and a Tuner Card. The only problem I encountered was when the tuner card with it on the back...

    Well It took nearly 3:30 Hours(3hours!)-Minutes to get this list... I checked every single product specification 1by1. The list of procs are all on HP SLIMLINE MODELS WITH THOSE BOARDS so they should work as long as you have the latest BIOS version on your board. For all those wondering I still...
