So at work they want a computer to display certain charts and other information on a large LCD TV. Fair enough, but at the same time security won't permit a workstation to go on the network without it automatically locking after a period of time. Swell. So - I swear I have seen a...

So a friend wanted his fan fixed (i oiled it) and heatsink cleaned. Simple enough, pull the heatsink and wash it up, and oiled the fan and put tape to seal that up. Cleaned both surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, add thermal paste, started placing the heatsink back on. My screwdriver slipped...

Is the 6800's going to be the last generation of fast AGP-capable-chips from nVidia? Are they going to put any of their G7x chips on an AGP board? I would like to upgrade, but am limited to AGP, as I can't really buy a new mobo for my Shuttle box..... So I wonder what will end up being the...

I have a question about leaving the power on for hard drives. my FTP server has 4 large hard drives on it. Now, there is various information spread across them, such that some drives aren't accessed only every few days, and some are accessed many times every day. So in the interest of...

what is a 6800nu? Is that a "vanilla" 6800? And what then are the differences between these chips, the 6800nu, 6800gt, and 6800ultra?

I'm having trouble ensuring I have my CPU sensors set up correct. first i installed MBM5, but it reported the CPU temp (31C) to be cooler than the case temperature (37C)! so i tried SpeedFan 4.22, which works somewhat better, but still seems to have problems. It reports my CPU running at...

BACKGROUND: I had a 9800pro start giving artifacts whenever I turned on antialiasing. RMA'ed it, and got a 9800pro back. Reinstalled my drivers, and the card works great! No artifacts. PROBLEM: The card I have now doesn't reliably display when the computer is in BIOS or booted to a...
