Can someone confirm that even on the newest boards and procs, that Intel HD Graphics (Sandy Bridge) doesn't support dual link DVI, and thus cannot output @ 2560x1600? I read they can over HDMI and Displayport, but...

I'm getting conflicting information. On one hand, some say to disable CMSS 3D in creative audio drivers for 5.1 sources, as you'd be upmixing channels when they already all receive their own discrete information. It would muddy the sound and degrade the quality to some degree. On the other...

Due to their support of EAX, and Windows 7's relative lack of support of it. I'm aware of Alchemy, and that it doesn't work with all EAX games (or does it?) but more importantly, lots of XP games do not work at all or have other issues come up trying to install and play on 7 (and...

This one takes a bit of processing for me to figure out and I have some questions. First and foremost - is reinstalling the OS necessary for a mobo upgrade? I know some people swear you should even just switching between ATI and Nvidia GPUs, but that's not necessary. I suppose I wouldn't be...

I have an older setup I'm currently upgrading to a Sandy Bridge one, and I still have my TRUE (Rev A?) from Conroe days. Apparently I can get a bracket kit for $15 to keep using it, but I was looking around at current landscape and it's not really clear to me what's what. the TRUE seems to...

computer was working like every other day up till it was turned off last night. attempted to turn on via case power button today and absolutely nothing. that means no sounds, no fans starting, nothing. checked power cable (good), checked other devices plugged into same monster surge...

No cloud solutions (250GB+ of material to be backed up/mirrored) This is done on one machine, possibly across multiple drives, MAYBE across the local network. Win7 compatible. programs like Synctoy will only peform functions in the future based on history since it was installed. ie...

Cuz I'm not getting one as flat as I would have expected. Majority up near 220MB/s, but there's a big drop at the start, and a couple smaller ones down the line.... I thought most SSD graphs on these benchmarks were pretty flat. Is this a defect with mine? tested with SATA 300 on ICH10R, Win...

you know, these ones that the guy's been doing for years now: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/pax-drivers/ What do you use?

For helping to run early OpenGL games like GLQuake, Quake II, etc

So thanks to Steam and all the wonderful documentation found on the net, I've been playing older games and learning how to run them optimally. There is an area of contention though with regards to software vs hardware rendering and which is necessarily better. Is there consensus on some of...

xp already installed on HDD 1. installed 7 on HDD 2. I'd like it that XP boots up by default. currently, 7 has taken over (even if the boot priority is set to the HDD with XP on it) How to reverse?

Can anyone make sense of these for me? I would assume I want de-interlacing... But what about what kind of de-interlacing "method" (based on bitstream flags/based on bitstream analysis/always) and "algorithm" ((big string of characters)/BOB hardware deinterlacing/weave no deinterlacing) do I...

Am I alone on this? Seemingly regardless of driver version (I've updated as they come out), my profile policies never actually work. Also there's no way I can see to edit or even delete rules you've created. At this point I just want the pc to boot up with a given overclock already set...

Does someone know of a dock that can do those speeds (or better) over eSATA? I haven't tried the Thermaltake BlacX yet... does it? I know it says it does, but so did the Vantec NexStar one - and it does not. I don't want a dock limiting my storage drives (esp SSDs) because it can't transfer...

main drive is a velociraptor, os drive soon an intel ssd. this would be a backup drive to purely store doubles of things found on the velociraptor. manual backups done with synctoy.

Lately I have not been able to use my SD card reader (use it to transfer digital photos taken with my camera) without it being extremely slow and nearly locking up the desktop. I tpyically have to end task it, then pull it out and use with a different Kodak card reader - which works...

(specs in sig) Half the time I boot up my computer or plug a given device in, like my Linksys WUSB54G - it'll end up in the control of the Universal Controller instead of hte Enhanced one, and thus run at USB 1.1 speeds instead of 2.0, as far as I can see. It definitely runs...

My ASUS P5Q should have USB 2.0 ports, at least all of the 6 on the rear panel, but using some with my Linksys WUSB54G makes WinXP give me shit about not being 2.0 ports and how I should check the list to use another. However it's not east to tell which ports are which. It would be cool...

I miss the remote's functionality that came with my ASUS P5W DH Deluxe... Is there such a thing I could get to control/work with any other PC? I assume would work through USB. All it really needs to do is turn on/shut down the PC. Other features like winamp controls would be a bonus...

I can't find a single review proving the dock's SATA II capabilities. Can someone with one, simply pop in a known SATA II drive they have, and test in HD Tach / HD Tune and look at burst speeds (the only measure that should be capable of going over 150mb/s). You should also do the same...

I remember doing this before when I last upgraded but don't remember what I used to do it. Something on the g-parted disc or something? I have a pair of SATA Raptors I need to wipe - and I'd like to do it a little bit better than simply reformatting them. Ideally, if I don't have to...

email I just sent Vantec: Anyone have a different experience? This is not a happy surprise.

found the drivers on the net

I've seen the Vantec one here: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=29676&vpn=NST-D100SU&manufacture=VANTEC Which is not bad, and probably the front runner for me so far. I saw Thermaltake's model - but it looks ugly as sin, even though it comes in the superior black (it also...

I upgraded to 175.16 but found that nTune is now called something else? Neither the base drivers, nor installing the version 6.01 of the nTune replacement gave me an overclocking tab in my control panel for my 8800GTS 512. I DID have such controls with the previous WHQL driver and nTune...

I was wondering if any issues arise if someone attempts to install/use an ATI TV tuner (looking at the 650 series PCI-E or USB) when they use Nvidia for their video card. Like driver battles or something? Should I be looking at Hauppage instead or something?

win xp32, ICH9R raptor on the far right of my HD rack raptor on the far left both in RAID 0 You can see the big dips seen on the "right" raptor persist through to the striped set and MULTIPLE tests, in the same places and everything. Near 110 and 150 GB when solo, and 220 and 300 GB...

http://www.youp-pax.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=13 OMG this guy is a god-send and I should have looked him up sooner. I had used him in the past to softmod some Audigy's into Audigy 2s. So I had been running Creative's web-update 4 (2006) drivers on my X-Fi platinum with Windows XP...

It would seem on the reference boards there is enough spacing between the PCI-E slots that it would allow for 3 9800 GX2s to be installed. So, um, Hex-SLI anyone? Hacked drivers, future official support, something? Also, question = tri sli 8800/9800 GTX vs quad SLI (2x 9800 GX2)?

Care to confirm something for me? Namely, that gameplay output is set to the wrong aspect ratio and everything is too tall/narrow/skinny/stretched vertically/squished horizontally ? My testing: The PSP output is set to 4:3 when connected to my standard (4:3) tv, as well as a Gateway 30"...

UPDATE: YOUTUBE'D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpWJnFHmKzQ Is it just me/my setup that keeps producing game images that are of the wrong aspect - that is the picture is less wide than it should be and things are squished from the sides, stretched vertically; things are too tall/skinny...

That resource website with all the stuff about popular LCD displays? Anyone remember it?

Findings are currently a work in progress, but I will show my Playstation 3 results that have been completed so far: Update: I have added some PS2 testing - especially input lag results. Composite -PS3- 4:3 output - Good, except 1:1 actually treats the image like aspect mode, blowing it up to...

All I have currently is ntune, and it doesnt seem to want to keep my overclocks after a reset. I see no button to save the settings or anything, I even tried saving a profile, and then creating a custom rule to load that profile upon startup but it gives an error and cant load the profile at...

I accidentally dragged "GlobalSerif.CompositeFont" (to the desktop) out of the Fonts folder in the Windows directory (Windows XP Pro 32bit), and now I'm unable to drag it back. How do I get it back? Its buddies Global Monospace and Global Sans Serif etc are still in there. Arggg I've...

I'm wondering on which models the USB hub on the side of dell monitors is backwards. On my WFP 3007, they are backwards. On my mom's WFP 2407-HC, they are facing the proper way. The little black piece should be towards the front side of the monitor. When you plug in a thumbdrive, the...

So I'm having a helluva time getting the fans down from 100% on a friend's P5K vanilla. It's a 3pin Scythe, and Q-Fan / all 3 modes does absolutely nothing. I tried Speedfan on someone's suggestion and couldnt get that to drop down from 100% (1600rpm) either. My last option appears to get...

The Premium appears to have ver little over the former, they both sell within a couple dollars of each other, and I think the Premium was released after... It has some feature related to onboard sound (I don't use that anyways) and comes with 6 SATA cables vs 4 for the Deluxe Anything I'm...

The WZ has yet to recieve the overscan off options the W's post Sept 2007 have.
