    Rage sucks

    The OP is right. Everything about this game is underwhelming. Let's start with the most obvious: it is a caterpillar that was birthed out of a console cocoon. No wonder it looks like John Carmack vomited all over a DVD. If even HE pukes up a console game and tries to sell it to us, then there's...

    Games slow to a crawl on 8800GTX

    Well I was using RivaTuner to monitor video card memory usage, and it stays stable. Same with my system RAM... My card is hitting 105c during gaming sessions could it be overheating problems? I've used this pc in hot stuffy rooms before which i'm sure the CPU hit these kind of temps before...

    Games slow to a crawl on 8800GTX

    Hi, A couple days ago my games started slowing down to like 10 FPS after playing them for more than 5 minutes. It doesn't matter what game -- Far Cry 2, GTAIV, FlatOut, etch they all do it. I have tried restarting my computer with all startup items disabled but it's a no go. Also i just...

    Looking for a 24 incher for under $250

    Well, I received my I-Inc iH-282HPB on Tuesday and I am quite impressed. It took me two days to post here because I was so busy staring at the dang thing it's hard to peel my eyes away. I'll give you guys a run down of my impressions: The monitor itself looks very sleek, almost like a hybrid of...

    Looking for a 24 incher for under $250

    Ok i'm glad to hear that! The only last detail that I'm unsure on is the input lag (I should be fine if it's under 30ms or so). There weren't any reviews that I could find to cover it.

    Looking for a 24 incher for under $250

    Wow you're right... They are selling the I-Inc iH-282HPB 28" for 289.99! It has all positive reviews (so far) on TigerDirect and I found a AnandTech forum thread saying that the previous model got rave reivews. So like that poster, I ordered it and since TG has a 30-day return policy, I can give...

    Looking for a 24 incher for under $250

    Hi all, Due to my crazy mother smashing my (then $600) Acer AL2423W 24" monitor with a cereal bowl, I am shopping for a new display. I was wondering if you wonderful folks could help me speed up the research since I've been out of the display loop for a while. I'm hoping to get a few...

    Any ideas?

    Best use of a 3.5" bay?

    I like the idea of having a floppy drive in with the card reader. I think I'll get one like that next time, my current card reader just died on me. Does the floppy on the card reader plug into the USB as well? Or can it be hooked up the the FDD cable on the mobo? (I ask because when I update my...

    The Audacity! Buyer's Beware!

    Yeah, well you can be shocked but not surprised. I do find it appalling some of the things these PC companies do, still, might even make me shocked. But not surprised. This reminds me of the time I had a Radeon 9800 PRO 256MB graphics card in an HP computer, and after normal gaming it...

    Pseudo Corei7 System Needs Critiquing

    *EDIT* In the third post he said he's going to get the Wester Digital WD20EADS 2TB. I started typing a long post about what to get instead of the 300GB WD VelociRaptor before seeing this :P

    The Audacity! Buyer's Beware!

    When I thought I had a failed BIOS flash, I called there asking if they knew whether or not they had the tools necessary to do a direct flash to the chip (Which would require something like an EEPROM burner). I knew they didn't but I had to be through. I explained the situation and the guy was...

    Heard of a RAM leak? Well I get a CPU leak!

    Hi all, I've had a problem that's been occurring for a couple of months now. It's two different symptoms but they seem to occur at the same time. I did some searching on Google, and found little helpful information on 'CPU Leaks'. I'll be using my PC, and I'll close for example Notepad and...

    Tried to upgrade bios, now my mobo is bricked.

    Yeah, right now I'm looking at probably a month (at least) to have it RMA'd to them. And can you imagine how I feel, I'm having to use my Pentium 4 2.9GHz laptop right now with a mobility radeon X600! :cool: P.S. My board is a Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4.
