    VM's and SMP

    So I decided to switch over an SMP client to a VM and I seem to have fouled something up, although what I am not sure. I have just been playing around with a VM to see if I would get a tangible ppd boost from a VM over a winSMP client. The machine this is on is a Q9550 @3.31ghz with 2GB of...

    Well, it took me almost 2 years...

    But I finally did what I set out to do. I made it to page 1. And now I'm about to buy a GTX 295. I used to only have ati cards and one computer. Do you see what this place has done to me!? But no really. I'm not an nvidia guy and the gtx 260 I bought last week was my first nvidia card...

    Nvidia GTX 260

    Welp, I swallowed all of my red-team pride and bought an xfx gtx 260 core 216 today. Currently reading about 7100 ppd in fahmon. Also brought my 4890 back on for folding, woohoo cold weather! 2 things: 1. I hate my life for the fact that this 260 rapes my 4870x2/4890 in ppd 2. Why is nvidia...

    500,000 Points...

    Hopefully by the time I get home from work. 500,000, never thought I'd actually get here when I started folding with the ol' single core client just under a year ago.

    HDCP and the Xbox 360...

    I don't really know where to put this, but this forum seemed relevant. Anyone ever had any problems with these two? I have the HD DVD addon for my elite, and I have a BenQ PE7700 projector with an HDMI connection between the two. The projector is HDCP compliant and for the longest time I used...

    Computer Science v. Software/Computer Engineering

    Ok, if this is the wrong place for this, I aoplogize, it seemed the most appropriate section for this question. I am going to college (majoring in Computer Science currently) with the intent of becoming a game designer/programmer. Right now I am about 30 hours in, with most of that being math...

    Messing with My Recent Documents?

    I don't even know if this goes here, but oh well. Here is my question, is there an app, or a way to tell XP to only display one file type in MRD? All I want to show up in MRD are .doc files for all my school stuff, I like having the MRD in the start menu, but the ridiculous amount of different...

    965 v. 975 question.

    Okay, so here is my dilemma. I have not kept up with dual-gpu tech stuff since I built my last rig, and I am a little in the dark here. I decided against going with an RD600 board, but now I have another problem... I would like to put together a core2 duo with crossfire, however, I am...

    Core 2 Duo and Crossfire...

    So, I have been wanting to replace my dead gaming machine for a while now and I had been waiting on the DFI rd600 board, but now I am not so sure about it. What opinions does anyone have on this board or your experiences with a Core 2 Duo and Crossfire? I would like something comparable in...

    Monitor fade, errr?

    Okay, I am a little wierded out by what my monitor is doing. I have an NEC FE1250 that has given me a year or so of no problems, but recently it will fade to black (sometimes all the way, sometimes like someone is playing with the brightness for a few seconds) , and then fade back in a few...

    WD HDD's over 100GB? Problems...

    Ok, so I buy a new Socket A board for a machine that I want to turn into a server for my home. I put it all together, it detects my old 120 IDE HDD, but says that it is all unpartitioned space. It says the same thing on my other (functioning) machine when the drive is in slave (it is the...

    Linksys routers...

    So, I am curious. I have a WRT54G already, running hyperwrt firmware. My xbox is across the den in my new pad, and I don't want to string ethernet cable across the den. So, my question is, do I have to get one of those wireless xbox adapters, or will another WRT54G run as a wireless gateway?

    X850 pro to X850 XT problems...

    Ok, so I am trying to unlock the other 4 pipes for a friend of mine. He has the PCI-x VIVO version of the X850 pro. When I flash the bios to the XT, or XT PE, it recognizes it as such, but the other 4 pipes are never unlocked. I am using the modified 16 pipe flashrom from techpowerup, anyone...

    Will the airbrush stuff from wal-mart (in the hobby/model cars section) work for airbrushing a case? Paint included?

    I killed my 9800XT :(

    So, watercooling finally bit me in the ass. I had just finished flushing my system, leak checked all the lines, yadda yadda yadda. So I pour the coolant back into the res, but evidently, some had dribbled back down the pitcher, and a pencil eraser size drop landed on my card. I didn't realize...

    Temperature switch?

    So, I had this idea for my next system. I'm not really sure how to execute it though. I was thinking about having accent LED's in certain parts of the case in two different colors, what I would like to do, is have one color power up with the machine, and stay on constantly, but have it change...

    9800XT Question

    Ok, so I have a 9800xt in my WC'ed rig right now. It's obviously on an AGP board, but I was thinking about buying one of those nifty GTO2 AGP's and just moving my 9800XT to my other machine (and killing my old fx5200, yay!). So, I have this waterblock on the 9800XT...

    What would the difference be, really?

    I am trying to decide on a processor for my new gaming rig, and I am a former intel whore. I have seen a lot of AMD's recent advances though, and I want to give them the nod for my next rig, but I am a little confused by the specs. I was looking on newegg at the FX55 which is going for about...

    Where to get a manifold

    I have been scouring the internet for some sort of distribution block or a manifold for a watercooling system. I am too lazy to build one myself, so any suggestions on where to buy one?
