    How to Disable DXVA on GF6800, Crash on MPEG2

    After I upgraded my hand-me-down system from XP to Windows 7, it seems to crash whenever DXVA is used for a MPEG2 file. This includes running the Windows experience index test (when it gets to "tuning media decode performance") or opening a MPEG2 file in Windows Media Player. There were no...

    GTX 460 Which Connector Needs More Power?

    I have only 1 PCI-E 6pin connector available, so for the other one I have to use the molex to PCI-E adapter. From the xbit review, it looks like the card draws most of the power from one of the plugs, and very little on the other. I would like to put the real PCI-E in the heavier draw connector...

    CEO of Motorola gets the boot

    Maybe AMD should hire him, they seem to like hiring underperforming ex-Motorola CEOs.</sarcasm> This Motorola has really stripped themselves too thin by shedding too much of their core divisions. Consumer electronics is way too harsh of a market to the established players.

    750GB Hard Drive SATAII $159 Shipped

    Here is a 5% discount for non-GCO: Link However, the item looks a bit fishy. The brand listed is Cavalry, which normally makes external harddrives with WD drives inside. I think in this case, they took the WD drive and just sold it as is. Warranty may have issues if it has to go through...

    Coolermaster 750W $89.99 and 850W 124.99 *NO MIR*

    If the model is Exxx (ESBA, EMBA), then it is an Enhance built unit. If the model is Axxx (ACAA, ASAA), it is an AcBel built unit. The AcBel ones are better built, IMHO.

    HEC power supply? still any good?

    I bought the exact one from here: Directron. This is a very generic power supply by its looks. The heatsinks are very small. The cables are short, and has only the bare minimums for ATX12V 2.0 (2 3-molex dongles, 1 SATA, no PCI-E). The fans are sleeve bearing, but they are properly...
