Hey guys, I have a ~4 year old pc that I need a new video card for. I was actually gonna be building myself a new system soon but cash is a bit tight for me right now, so I just want a cheap card to hold me over for a bit. Right now I have a 7800gtx that overheats pretty much every time I run...
Hey guys, I'm going to start building a new computer in the next few months. Just wanted to get your thoughts on the best 1680x1050 monitor out now, or coming out in the next few months. Reason I want a 1680x1050 monitor is that I want this build to last a while, and gaming on 1920x1200 would...
I was really looking forward to what the new fortress case would look like, the ft01 being one of my favorites. I'm kinda disappointed though, I wanted something similar to the FT01, just in a full tower and maybe fix a few of its flaws, like making the top fan filter easier to take out. Not...
PC: Tie between Diablo2/Half-Life1/Doom1
Anyone else remember having way more fun playing the shareware version of Doom that playing most of these new FPS's ie Doom3/FEAR/Quake3?
Console: MGS1
Hey guys, I'm one of the rare breed of gamers who looooves PC games and Console games..... when they're on their respectable platform. I dont know if its just me but I just cant stand to play PC games on any console, its not even about the controls, though thats also important, its the...
Single: HL1
Multi: TFC
My favorite part of tfc, which i'm guessing is also the reason why it put so many ppl off, was the steep learning curve. It took months of constant play to get half way decent with ONE class, let alone the 8 other ones. tfc > all
hmm sorry if i'm thread jacking here, but i'm using a 4800+ too. Just installed it yesterday and my temps have been VERY different from yours. The bios shows its at 31-32C and mbm shows it as 30-32C idle and 37-38C during prime95. I thought I was just lucky until you guys said the default...

lol well i guys I have a few tips for ppl building their first rigs, straight from a newb ;p

Hey guys, just finished building my first rig, bumped into a few probs but got most of them sorted out. After I got everything up and connected, i got windows xp installed, restarted my comp, went throught the XP swoosh thing, and proceeded into BSOD. Heres the error I get...
I just read the previews for AMD's dual core cpu's and have really been impressed by them. I just wanted to know when you guys think software and games are going to fully take advantage of these cpu's. Correct me if i'm wrong, but most software today are single thread, so if you're playing a...
Well i looked around newegg for 1gig sticks, and tried to find ones with the lowest stock timings, and got these 2, both of which have 2-3-2-5 timings.

I'm about to start building my new gaming rig soon, and I just had some questions about which ram to get for the new san diego core. I'm hearing the new rivision has a fixed memory controller, so i'm really looking to get 2 gigs of ram. Which would be better, 2x1gig sticks or 4x512? Also i'm...
well, I was planning on getting a mitsu 930sb for my new rig, but that plan fell through since I cant find one anywhere :( So any reccomendations on good gaming CRT's that are ~$300 would be greatly appreciated, Thanks :)
Well my current computer is a DELL p4 1.8ghz with a gf3 vid card that I bought ~3-4 years ago, I thought its about time I treat myself with a big upgrade. I'm hoping to get this rig done by early may. This is the first computer i'm building from scratch, so I just wanted some help picking the...
