This monitor may actually give me a justifiable reason to cross-fire finally. :D

Just started using this program and have been impressed with the MKV format. However, about a day or two ago I go to the site and it appears to have been taken down. Anyone heard any info on this?

Just a warning on jimmy-rigging parts into an old Dell... I've done this a few times with some old Dell's and run into weird issues due to the fact that they tend to do some weird customized stuff for their own boxes. Take a look inside the case before you start buying parts to see if it even...

Nightrainsrt4 is right on the money. I have that exact device working with a couple of wireless 360 controllers on a PC. I can verify they work great.

Are the Xonar and Auzentech both good for someone who is primarily gaming? I honestly don't wish to throw any money at Creative anymore but I really just want the cheapest best gaming sound card. Would these two still be the top pick for someone who's just gaming?

I think you nailed it on the head right there! :) I take care of 8 computers in total i think but go figure, the one i use as my personal one has the most perplexing weird issues. I'm pretty its 'the MAN' doing this to me for some sick reason. :rolleyes: Hey Marley if you ever do have...

I thought I'd try MozyHome free version as a test before I bought the MozyPro for my business. Glad I did cause the MozyHome is creating brutal system hangs that have lead to many hard reboots to get out of. Can't even pull up the task manager when it gets in one of these hangs (even though...

Thanks for the great replies all. I'll try to underclock the vid card a bit to see if that solves the issue. If the underclock doesn't work then I guess I'm shopping for a new vid card. I guess i'll head to the vid card forum to learn what is hot in vid cards right now.

I just installed the newest nvidia drivers, though I'm not sure if I cleanly removed the old ones in the best way...still getting used to vista. So does it sound like an overheating issue or something else wrong with the gfx card? If its toast i guess i'll have an excuse to go get a new vid...

I've been getting random system lockups and the occasional blue screen on my desktop system (see sig). Typically the system will lock when i stress it out by playing a game such as Left4Dead, but it can also randomly happen when I'm doing relatively simple things in windows such as a java...

QFT! Man I loved that game! They could really do an amazing version of that game with the types of graphics engines out now too. SACRIFICE 2 ftw!

I'm finally trying oblivion for the first time with my new rig. I haven't played it yet but I'm thinking that I will be using probably Oscuro's Overhaul since the idea of all the world leveling up with me constantly just seems kind of lame. Question: Do you guys think I should play...

I have a dual monitor setup and can run a powerpoint presentation on the second monitor in a a continuous loop (kiosk mode) without any problems. However, as soon as i do anything on the main screen such as use any other programs besides powerpoint the presentation will pause on the second...

I just bought the sister monitor to this Hans-G ... the Viewsonic 28". I believe it is an identical panel (has all same features and specs). I do notice that there is some color shifting when you look at it from different angles but that doesn't bother me personally...I sit in the same...

I just built two puters similar to what you want to build, though I haven't tried an OC on it yet. Q6600 evga 8800 GTX 2 x 2 GB of patriot extreme DDR800 and for a motherboard i used the evga 680i NF63 board. Here's the newegg link. It has 3 pci-e x16 slots on it which is interesting...
