    Youtube on Xbox 360

    I like being able to watch youtube on my xbox 360. However, when playing the videos the picture doesn't line up perfectly to the screen. I'm missing the top and left side of the screen just a little. I've tried changing the picture from 1080p to 720p and the picture still doesn't fit perfectly...

    Will a GTX 580 work with this?

    From a price/performance ratio I'd either go with a Radeon 6950 or a GTX 560 Ti. Hopefully these benchmarks will help you out: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU11/188

    Is a Core2Quad still relevant nowadays?

    I recently upgraded from a Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.2Ghz with a Radeon 5870 to a Core i5 2400 with the 5870 and the difference in FPS in Bad Company 2 is staggering. I was only able to play BC2 at around 25-40fps with my C2D, and now with my Core i5 2400 I play it at around 70-100+ depending what is...

    Micro-Stuttering

    I read this article: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-geforce-stutter-crossfire,2995.html I have noticed this micro stuttering a little bit. But the author makes a statement saying " It almost makes sense why AMD doesn't include a second CrossFire connector on these cards now...

    BF3 Upgrade 8800 gt to Radeon 6770 Worth It?

    I had a Core 2 Duo E6600 at 3.2Ghz with a Radeon 5870 and I didn't realize how CPU limited i was in Bad Company 2 until i built my brother. I built him a Phenom x6 1090T and with a 4870 and it blew my FPS out of the water. he was getting around 60-70FPS with a slower videocard. Battlefield games...

    Motherboard or Hard Drive issue?

    Hey everyone, I'm having an issue with my Gigabyte Z68x-UD4-B3 motherboard or Samsung HD. I've been having trouble booting into Windows 7 at times. What I mean is, whenever my BIOS splash screen pauses for a minute Windows 7 will not boot. However whenever the BIOS doesn't hang it boots Windows...

    Core i5 2400 low CPU score

    My Core 2 Duo e6600 @ 3.2Ghz scores are higher CPU score on CPU test 2 (Steps/s) than my Core i5. CPU test 1 (Plans/s) my Core i5 blows my Core 2 Duo out of the water. I'm confused.

    Core i5 2400 low CPU score

    The moment I saw it getting that hot i turned prime95 off. I ran Cinebench and my scores seem normal. Multithreaded ~18,900 and singlethreaded performance ~5,500. Compare: http://www.anandtech.com/show/3871/the-sandy-bridge-preview-three-wins-in-a-row/9 You think it could be a bad copy or...

    Core i5 2400 low CPU score

    I've been running some benchmarks of my new build. And I'm having a weird problem. I'm getting very low scores on the CPU test on Vantage ~16000. For whatever reason the 2nd test stutters horribly and looking at forums across the internet it shouldn't be this way. I noticed earlier that my...
