    ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Performance Review @ [H]

    I've got a question for the gurus here. If I went with the E6 card, would I be able to use the passive mini-displayport to dvi dongles that come with it for connecting a dvi monitor in eyefinity? Or would I need to find active adapters?

    Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance

    The point is that there now seems to be double standards. The latest motherboard review doesn't do any high-res gaming to show that it doesn't really matter which chipset you choose, it only looks at low res. Finding a way to stress the processor is okay when it's not a processor you're...

    Intel Core 2 Gaming Performance

    I've refrained from posting about the review, taking the time to order my thoughts on it. Like most of the posts here I can't agree with the way you reviewed the CPU. Contrary to all of those who call this something other than a CPU review, if it was something else it would not have been...

    Intel blocks Nvidia from running SLI on Conroe platforms

    You're right Ryan, my mistake. I did some more searching, just to verify what you said and came up with some interesting things. What Dell has to do with it is what we're talking about, chipsets. nVidia and Dell partner on SLI x16 chipset. Another The reasoning is simple. Dell...

    Intel blocks Nvidia from running SLI on Conroe platforms

    If Intel is blocking SLI from running on their chipsets, why can Dell (and others) sell Intel systems with SLI and Quad-SLI? The people out there running SLI on an Intel chipset are running it with older or hacked nVidia drivers, not Intel chipset drivers. It's nVidia who is stopping SLI...

    What if Intel had no competition

    Regarding the pricing information about K6-2 and PII. AMD Press Release, May 28, 1998 Techweb article, June 1, 1998 Linux Gazette article, July 1, 1998 Off the top of my head it looks like the K6-2 was about 30% cheaper rather than the 25% that AMD stated it would be.

    Need help Fixing computer.

    I worked on a computer awhile back that got hit on a surge. Hit the power button and nothing. It turned out that the modem (they used dial-up) got fried and that was it. If the modem was installed it wouldn't boot, if it wasn't it booted fine. First thing I would do would be to unplug the...

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ or Operton 165

    If I was in your shoes, I would wait until Intel's new chip is out in the market and here's why. When the Core 2 Duo comes out it's going to drive prices down. This will make the two chips you're looking at cheaper and your $300 will go farther, possibly getting a better chip than the ones...

    AMD or INTEL ?

    I'll tell you what I tell everyone I know who asks what to purchase. Which brand do you prefer? Why do I ask this? Because this choice here pretty much determines other factors, like the video cards. nVidia is choice chipset for AMD, so nVidia cards are choice if you want or might upgrade to...

    Opinions On Oblivion's The Orrery Quest

    Personally I can't see myself paying for a single quest or some eye-candy as an add-on to the game, especially a single player game. When you consider the sheer amount of quests and armor in the game already, there really is no reason to release content on a per piece basis. Well, except for...

    Aqua Computer turboplex USB - departure into a new era?

    This is definately interesting. It's something that I would consider for the HTPC. Like the others though, I'd want to see some numbers on how well it cools and how loud it is. I don't think it would take off too well for the mid or full size PC but in the SFF area it might very well become...

    Intel Pc Build Help Needed

    With that being a 975x board you might want to go with an ATI card instead of nVidia. This board supports crossfire but not SLI. This will leave him the option in the future for upgrading to two video cards instead of just one. You should be able to pick up an x1800XT for around the same...

    AMD raising (!!!) prices on their CPU's in April...

    Not really. When I upgrade I just build a new machine and move the current machine to the side. I decide what parts I want in it and what I'm willing to spend on those parts and then watch until everything I want fits into the budget I have allowed for building that computer. I had been...

    Question about SATA RAID

    To make a long story short, I broke one of the SATA connectors on my IC7_MAX3 on the ICH5R RAID controller (onboard). I can't seem to find another MAX3 anywhere and the 875P options for a board are sparse. Will my RAID still exist if I connect it up to a 865P chipset with an ICH5R onboard...
