    Dual Boot - XP Pro & Vista x64 issues

    Just a small update here, and probably the end of my problems for now anyway I ended up throwing the XP cd in the drive and running the recovery console. Once I was logged into my XP partition I ran Fixboot. I then rebooted the PC and it didn't load anything. I got to "Verifying DMI Pool...

    ThermalTake Big Typhoon questions

    I use a big typhoon on a DFI expert. It does weigh a bit, and the height is up there, but neither is that much of a problem. Off the board it probably stands 4-5 inches high to the top of the fan. The problem with the backplate on the DFI boards as well as other NF4 boards is that they are...

    Benchmarks comparing X2 Processors?

    if I were you I would still go with a 3800+ though...your pretty much garunteed 2.5ghz OC out of the box and that would give you better performance than a 4800+ X2...just something to think about...also the 4200+,4400+ and 4800+ don't overclock as well.

    True, but EA usually never makes anything "different" 95% of their games are just upgraded models and textures from a previous release.
