    Newegg's policy on warranties (or lack there of)

    The card and invoice from newegg isn't enough to prove the purchase? It is a bad policy. I need to rma a laptop - they send you a box. I know that probably I would get the same answer from any company about a video card - but I had higher expectations of new egg. Is it that hard for them to...

    Newegg's policy on warranties (or lack there of)

    I bought a HIS x1900xt back in the fall of last year for about $350. HIS only allows warranties and RMAs through the distributor, which in this case was newegg. My card has slowly been going down hill and finally failed. The computer boots fine, but monitors never get a signal from the card...

    Talking About ATi Vista Drivers

    If they really did use 200 man hours, and we assume the average employee makes 50k a year * 200 man years, there went 10 million dollars on a driver package. That works out to 25000 $400 buck video cards. Pretty crazy when you think about it.

    IceQ3 x1900xt odd fan noise

    I was afraid of that, I am not sure how something would have been sucked in but I will try and check that tonight. I will contact newegg about the RMA and hopefully it will go quickly. I threw out the original packaging because I just moved into college - any suggestions on the packing...

    IceQ3 x1900xt odd fan noise

    I have an odd fan noise coming from my HIS IceQ x1900xt. The card is a bit over a month old and has been running at stock in my P180. Recently I have noticed the fan noise has changed. This noise seems to continue at about the same volume no matter what speed the fan is running. It almost...

    Am I too hot with a 3800 X2 and stock HS?

    My new AM2 3800+ is idling at 32-35C at the moment, ambient room temp around 22C, on load asus probe 2 reports cpu at 45-46C with motherboard at 37C with stock cooler and thermal goop. I only got up to 55+ when overclocking. I would advise you to try and increase your case airflow as I have...

    M2N-E and RAM - post your experiences

    I am running two sticks of 1 gig XMS 6400 at 5-5-5-12 in my m2n-e at the moment. Everything is perfectly stable at stock, now I am trying to see where I can take it.

    smoked out a wire, cleanest fix?

    I wont know about the drive bay until I get xp installed tonight, but I am cautiously optimistic judging from the lack of much visible damage. I think the psu did shut itself off. The bad section of wire is isolated to the aforementioned y-splitter which appears to be $1.69 + shipping at...

    smoked out a wire, cleanest fix?

    Last night while building my new system I mis-aligned the wires on the floppy power connecter for the x-fi front connector drive bay doohicky and sent 5v to ground. The PSU is a seasonic s12 500w which has the floppy connectors on a y-splitter from a normal molex which shut itself off very...

    c++ problem

    I actually think I found the problem while talking to our friendly neighborhood disgruntled phd student. The code in question was changed at about 12-1ish last night, but I think I forgot to change how I was allocating the memory. I actually never allocated the memory for the row arrays...

    c++ problem

    First off, before I started this program, Id never made a class in c++ just to give you an idea of my competency level, though I know java backwards and forwards. void Graph::addRow(int row[], int rowIndex){ for(int i = 0; i < vertexCount; i++){...

    Bethesda Charging $2.50 For Horse Armor?

    Just to preface, I do not own an xbox360 and dont know how the marketplace operates beyond basic principles. I think that it would be a great idea if MS allowed people to upload skins, images, and other items to change the look and feel of the xbox, that would be fine. But MS, without some...

    Bethesda Charging $2.50 For Horse Armor?

    Yup, I just use oblivion as an example because I have no experiance with other bigname titles such as COD2. But I dont think this is a true apples to apples comparison with out including display. The bare essentials needed to play a game with an xbox is xbox + display. Same with computer...

    Bethesda Charging $2.50 For Horse Armor?

    Thanks, i should have said 640x240 or 480 - either way, thats what I would be playing with were I to buy an xbox360 And I didnt buy my computer to play oblivion. This is the random assumptions I spoke of earlier - How do you prorate the cost of your tv over oblivion vs non oblivion time...

    Bethesda Charging $2.50 For Horse Armor?

    Yup, basically Sorry, I should have made my self more clear. 320x240 is the non-interlaced resolution - I am unclear on the exact term for standard def tv in this wacky word of HD. My main point is that your HDTV cost you 1500, and your Xbox cost you 400, therefore, your total equipment...
