    Goodbye Madden on PC

    I remember back in the day when sports games on the PC were actually really good. I used to play in Madden online leagues using 2001 or 2002 and it was great fun, especially in fantasy draft leagues. Even better, NHL used to rock on the PC. I used to customize the hell out of the game. You...

    Does my Vista need Zonealarm too?

    I just bought a new laptop with Vista Home Premium and I was wondering if I needed to install a software firewall like zonealarm, or if the Vista firewall with outbound blocking turned on would be enough? I have a home network that is connected to my cable modem via a belkin pre-n router...

    Anyone tried Tabula Rasa?

    I've burned out on WoW for the second time (went a lot faster this time around) and was wondering if anyone has had a chance to give Tabula Rasa a try? I like the non-fantasy setting, it seems like a welcome change, but how is the gameplay? grapchis? stability (for a beta anyways)? Does it...

    Benefits of PC8500 over PC6400?

    Thanks so much guys for the quick and informative replies. My current cooler is a Zalman 9500 and I don't plan on going water cooling so the zalman would probably be carried over to my new system. Yea, I figured that my rather modest OC'ing intentions would make the 1066 a bit of overkill...

    Benefits of PC8500 over PC6400?

    Thanks in advance for any advice or help. I've read through a lot of the posts and faqs around here and tried my best to get a feel for the basics of DDR2, but I'm still a bit unsure and was hoping for some additional info. I'm planning on upgrading my system from a 939 Opteron 175 with...

    8800 GTS Temperature Question

    I just got a BFG 8800GTS 640mb OC2 that's factory overclocked. In a comfortable room it's idle is usually around 75C, and that's in a p180 with 3 out fans and 1 intake fan. Per other people's advice, I installed Rivaturner and manually cranked the fanspeed up to 96% all the time (it was...

    8800 GTS 77C Idle Temp?

    Alright, I installed Rivatuner and tryed manually bumping the fan speed to 75%, this kept the idle temp at 70C versus the normal 77C. Bumping up the fan speed to 95% brought the idle temp to 64C. Given my normal temps for the other components, are my GPU temps an issue for concern? Should I...

    8800 GTS 77C Idle Temp?

    Thanks for the quick replies, the card is a factory overclock with a core running at 580 and mem at 1700. I've played a few rounds of BF2142 with all the settings up to max and it seems to run stable, the idle temp just never drops below 70C. The rest of my system is stock and seems to run at...

    8800 GTS 77C Idle Temp?

    Just got a BFG 8800 GTS 640mb OC2 and installed it in my system, I was just wondering if an temp of 77C is normal? I've checked around and it seems kind of high as most people are stating their idles are around 10C lower. According to nTune my CPU temp is about 38C and the system temp is...

    I knew EVGA's step-up program would be worthless...sigh

    I too understand what the OP was trying to communicate. I certainly don't think evga is an evil company or anything like that. I like their cards, like their policies, and have even used the step up before. However, the fact that they don't seem to ever lower their MSRP to reflect current...
