    Gigabyte 8800GTS 512mb 331.84+Ship No Tax for US

    From NCIXUS. This seems like a decent deal. $370 on newegg. The specs say it is not overclocked, but newegg model GV-NX88S512H-B shows that it is. 700core, 2000 mem and 1700 shaders. Gigabyte site only lists one product for G92 8800GTS. Comes with NWN2 and some old Rainbow Six game. I think...

    Screen goes psychedelic when loading a game...?

    This seems to be a common problem with 7900gts and Vista. A lot of people including me have trouble changing resolutions in games since we get the same display errors you described. I dont believe that there is a fix for this as the new drivers have not solved the problem and in some cases make...

    7900gt can only run games at 1600x1200?

    I recently installed vista on my desktop computer but I have been having problems with games. I've used the latest official drivers on the nvidia website and the more recent 162.22 release. However the problem remains the same. I can only run the game at 1600x1200. If I attempt to change the...

    FS: Opteron 165 and DFI Lanparty Ultra-D

    I am selling an Opteron 165. Stepping is CCBWE 0551 UPMW. Used for about 3 months so it is in good shape. I bought this as OEM so no box. I am asking for $225 shipped OBO. I am also selling a DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D which is roughly half a year old for $75 shipped OBO. This includes the...

    ATI equivalent to a 7900GT???

    This german site I found on another forum shows benchmarks for the 256 mb X1800XT. It seems some games like COD2 are affected greatly by the difference in memory.

    EVGA Video card explosion @ Monarch

    I just noticed that while other cards say "in stock ships in 1-2 days" the 7800 gt co se does not have this. The regular CO version does say in stock. Does it mean it is backordered?

    Very low Opteron 165 overclock...

    Hello, I just got an Opteron 165. I tried to see the limit of this cpu. It seems that it wont get higher than 240 x9 no matter how high the voltage is. I did this using the RAM at 1/2 divider. I can do 300x7 with no problems. Fiddling with the RAM timings seems to provide no benefit at all...

    Upgrading Dell Dimension 9100 Ram.

    I saw that Frys had a great deal on DDR2 ram on Monday. I am wondering if there will be any compatibility issues with Dell? Are they picky with RAM? My friend had a 4700 and he bought some OCZ ram and it did not work well with the Dell. Thanks for any input.

    How to test HDD health?

    My computer has repeatedly had windows corrupted. I initially suspected the HDD, but it seemed to check out fine using SMART. I then switched out various other components without any change. So now I am thinking that it still might be the HDD again. Is there some other way to test it besides a...

    DFI Ultra-D Make me crazy, is it defective??

    Actually I forgot to say I have flashed to latest 6/23 bios. Do you really think the PSU is defective? I am not sure how I would go about testing it since the problem is sort of hard to replicate.

    DFI Ultra-D Make me crazy, is it defective??

    I've had my DFi Ultra-d for 6 months now and i've had numerous problems. In the beginning, I would get machine check exception errors for no reason. I would pass prime, superpi, 3dmark, and memtest for hours upon hours. Then, for no reason at all, i would get the error at startup. Eventually it...

    Question about ATI Tool

    Does the AA and AF mode in ATI tool override the AA and AF settings in games? If I set it to off by default and I try to enable it in HL2, will it not be turned on? Thanks

    Connect3d X700 Pro Overheating

    I just got a new x700 pro for 80 bucks but I noticed it has a really tiny fan for cooling. I tried to play FEAR to test it out, but it would lock up with the VPU recovery message. When I looked at ATI Tool, it said that it was running at 96 degrees celsius! That is clearly way to high. What...

    Question about Pentium D 820 and CPU-z

    Hi, today I was looking at cpu-z and i noticed that for the "cpu 1" it lists it as a Prescott 521. Now under core 2, it is shown as a smithfield pentium d 820. Is this normal? Seems sort of strange. In windows task manager, it does show two cores.

    Uhh windows error checking messes up computer?
