    Crossfire and Video Memory

    I'm trying to decide whether I should pick up another 4870 or wait for the 4870X2. How does the memory management work in crossfire? From what i've heard it makes me think that it's only a total of 512MB (512mb cards) and it's cloned on both cards. Is this true? The main game I play right...

    e8400 downclocking to 6.0 mult

    cpu-z and core temp are showing my e8400 as only doing 2ghz w/ a mult of 6.0 even when the machine isn't idle. About half the time when I start up core temp it shows up as 9.0 the other half 6.0. cpu-z almost always shows it being at 6.0. Can't figure it out, I have C1E turned off in the...

    Antec 1200 or Thermaltake Armor+?

    I just got a armor+, and I will admit I wasn't so sure about it at first when I ordered it. However, it's pretty sexy in person, and HUGE. It's amazing for cable management. There's plenty of room between the motherboard tray and the side panel, I could mount harddrives on the back of it if I...

    Gigabyte x48 DS4 ram issue

    I'm assuming the channels are 1 and 3, and 2 and 4. If that's a case it probably has something to do with it not liking dual channel from the first set of channels.

    What's a random restart?

    I was just noticing that alot of people refer to blue screens has "random restarts" etc. Which is funny, because Microsoft switched to having display disabled by default to rid themselves of the nasty little bluescreen that everyone hates. It seems like the current generation of leet haxxors...

    What will happen to nvidia?

    This is ridiculus. The pricing doesn't matter right now, nvidia has too large of a market share to be hurt by one series. The OP is either very young and nieve, or an ATI fanboy to the max.

    What's a random restart?

    It's a windows halt error (blue screen), and vista and xp are set to not display them by default. I'm hoping everyone knew that, but if you didn't you might want to Windows Key + R, eventvwr next time one happens. Nice when programmers put in error codes to diagnose issues right? Also, you...

    I am having a Problem Random Restarts!

    What's a random restart? Are you refering to a halt error (blue screen), but have it set to not display (default in xp and vista)? Sorry lol, just tired of people refering to them as random restarts, when if you actually go into System Properties -> Advanced -> Start Up and Recovery -> and...

    Fan for Ultra-120 eXtreme

    Any recommendations? I'm looking for a durable fan that will push atleast 60cfm, that's also not super loud. Going to be running a e8400, planning to push it to around 4.1ghz

    ATI pulled a quick one on us with the 4870?

    I think they did, and I like it. Those slides from a while back showed that the 4870 would only be competing with the 9800 gtx. However, it looks like it's actually competing slightly ahead of the gtx260, and close to gtx280 levels. I know no official benchmarks have been released, but the...

    First 4870 review on the web

    So, with the crysis benches from yesterday + these, is it safe to say that ATI pulled a quick one, deviating from the slides claiming competition over a 9800 gtx, but instead is competing with the gtx260, and at times the gtx280?

    Kids Are Failing, It's All Wikipedia's Fault!

    I actually agree with this too. Did you know at most universities, if you decide to be a librarian they will actually give you a full ride? I didn't hear anything about this until I picked up a pamplet the other day as I was waiting to see someone. I went home looked around, and it looks like...

    Kids Are Failing, It's All Wikipedia's Fault!

    First, I would hate to have gone to school whereever you're going to be failing over a few incorrect facts in a research paper. Second, online resources really aren't that bad. I'm a junior in college now, and I've written my fair share of research papers. Teachers always have wanted...
