    Microsoft Pulls Security Update

    "when paired with a certain third party software"... Of which they can't divulge the name?? What if I don't have that "third party software" installed and would prefer to remain more secure?

    MSI N580GTX Lightning XE 3GB Video Card Review @ [H]

    would love to see a review of 1.5gb vs 3gb clock for clock. having the reference card in there is kinda pointless cause ya it's got faster clocks so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know it'll be faster.

    ASUS Sabertooth P67 Motherboard Review

    just bought this board yesterday and so far so good. still running stock but that won't last long. i have a side 200mm fan on my case so i hope that will cool the mobo fine. my only complaint is rather large but why do they insist on putting the second pcie gpu slot so low on the board. i...

    Radeon HD 6950 to 6970 BIOS Flash Guide

    i did this way back when with both my 6950s and neither one of them is stable at default 6970. i must have got two bad ones. bought them right around christmas time. btw, i test my stability with the counterstrike source stress test. it crashes more frequently than 3d mark 2011. each card...

    strange mini display port problem

    thanks for the help. switching cables solved the problem of the fans spinning. thankfully both video cards came with mini-dp adapters and my monitors came with dp cables. that's too bad about the cables. i bought them a few months ago and still have one un-opened... at $20 bucks a cable you...

    strange mini display port problem

    two bad cables? i guess that makes sense if it's brand incompatibility. for the record here is the cable: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=98_748&item_id=027899 also, i thought the power alarm happens when the system is on without the power being plugged in. this is...

    strange mini display port problem

    i'm posting this because i've done some searching and can't find an answer. basically, when my mini display port is plugged in and the computer is powered off some of the system fans keep spinning very slowly and the LEDs stay dimly lit. as soon as i unplug both mini display ports the problem...

    Corsair SP2500 2.1 Speaker System Review @ [H]

    z-cinemas are VERY different from z-2300s from what i've read so i definitely believe the corsair is superior. i actually have no idea why logitech discontinued the z-cinemas. anyone know? i'm thinking maybe they were too expensive to make and weren't selling enough. i'm guessing this...

    Corsair SP2500 2.1 Speaker System Review @ [H]

    don't flame me but i wonder how these would compare to the logitech z-cinemas. i paid 100 bucks for them and they're by far the best pc speaker system i've ever owned or heard. the corsair system obviously has more power and a larger sub so it's not a fair comparison necessarily, however, this...

    just started folding again/need help

    thanks for the reply. here's a screen shot of the current setup and error i get when i try to auto detect. i've tried manually setting it to r600 as you can see. i get the same unstable error as with the 9300. currently the onboard is totally disabled. obviously if i could get both...
