8800 GTX. Got a Sony GDM-FW900 at the same time and used both for years without any need to upgrade.

You have many options as driving multiple monitors, each with numerous charts, is a relatively easy task for today's video cards. The only issues I have ever had with trading have been CPU related, due to having many charts open with many indicators. If you want to run a dedicated trading...

I like Galaxy because they are great cards and have great support.

I currently have an XFX card and would love to have another.

I have narrowed my search down to one of these two cards, please give me your thoughts on which I should get and why: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102991 I have owned both flavors in the past and...

Not to state the obvious but you did not mention this: have you looked at Staples or one of the other office supply vendors for a cheap ready to assemble desk with free delivery? From personal experience I know these are not the highest quality desks available but with a little TLC (and no...

Thanks for posting the pics of this build. You did a great job of showing how nice a build can be with a very small investment.

Retell, How easily does the Corsair H100 radiator fit in the top of this case? If fitted to the top of the case, is there enough room to mount fans on both sides for a push/pull configuration? Thanks

Danny, Thanks for the response. I will plan to use 16MB of ram. Also, I will look at some other SSDs based on your input. As for timing, I plan to build this asap so please provide recomendations for parts as of today. Finally, I was not aware that Intel CPU release was imminent - can you...

I am currently running a E8600 with a light OC of 4GHz on air and 8GB ram. I recently began daytrading futures and currently use ThinkOrSwim with TSI indicators. With these indicators, during data intensive periods (when the data feed is heavy) my computer slows to an almost non responsive...

Its nice to hear a developer talking positively about the PC - rather than focusing exclusively on consoles with the PC as an afterthought. Unlike most posts on this subject, I actually enjoyed FarCry 2. I will admit, when I first got the game, I decided that I did not like the game and did...

While you guys are discussing the qualities of covers for a software franchise, I am gonna go eat some cake. Oh, and was Gordon Freeman that dude that was in Wham! with GM?

I have both the G19 and the Microsoft X6. I currently use the G19. I had a G15 and really liked it. I use my keyboard for gaming but also do some data entry and typing. At work, I spend a lot of time on the computer and do a lot of data entry (accounting type work). The G15 had really...

Since consoles are the way to go I need some help. Which is better, Xbox 360 or PS3? Plus I need links to some good couches.

There is one reason why Crytek is making this switch: money. We may all want to think that Crytek (and every other game developer) has our best interests at heart but in reality they must make money. Not only will coding for consoles be cheaper but Crytek will experience a lower amount of...

Although it is not mentioned in the bindings screen(s), this game does have the flying / sliding kicks. I typically rebind my keys but try several combinations of run/crouch/melee to invoke the slide. Although I have enjoyed playing this game, I am disappointed that it has strayed so far...

I recently reinstalled FEAR after upgrading both my machine and OS last fall. Initially FEAR would run great frames (for around 5 secs) and then would drop to 12 fps. After trying several different fixes I finally found one that worked for FEAR / Vista. Go into your control panel and under...

Go with Vista now, it is a solid OS and provides nice improvements over XP. Make sure you get a x64 version but don't waste money on Ultimate. My only issue with Vista at this point is that I cannot get the Creative Xfi drivers to work quite right, but they work well enough. Also, follow...

JD is very close to the truth, but misses the point. He claims that computers (and by extension technology) sucks the fun out of games. Yet his prime example, slot racing, has nothing to do with computers. But he does hit the nail on the head with his example. What sucks the life out of...

To the OP, a die shrink is comming, however, I am not allowed to tell you when. Just stay patient.

Do you remember the first time you tried out a new game everyone was talking about and you were blown away? You know, you say to yourself "Just five more minutes" and then you look away from your screen again and its 4 hours later and you realize that if you go to sleep right now you can get...

I just got a Driving Force GT and am very pleased with it. Yea, I know it breaks your $100 limit, but it is on sale at BB for $130. That is not much over your limit (only 8 gallons of gas in today's currency) and If you don't like it, take it back and get the Momo.

When you are at the checkout, many times at CC, the item will ring up with the regular price, despite being advertised for less. Tell them it was advertised for a lower price and they should look it up. I find this happens frequently at CC, so don't be shy to correct them. If they will not...

Also look at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823200007

Sometimes, when I order from Newegg, I can taste chicken. Don't get that with any of the other etailers.

Get the 8800GTX and don't look back.

I went with XFX for my 8800GTX. I originally planned to get a 8800GTS and go with EVGA due to their step up program but after considering the hassle involved with that program, and the fact that I could get the XFX for less than $600, I decided to splurge for the GTX. With this card I will not...

With any of the Core 2 duos OCing is very easy and with decent hardware you should be able to get at least 800 mhz OC (and will more likely get 1ghz with the 6400). You will find that your framerates will increase dramatically and the machine will be snappier in everything you do. Now, what is...

I also am new to OCing and have the DS3. I started for an evening to use the Easytune5 but then quickly lost my patience with it. Now I am OCing in the Bios. Read the forums, to include the links posted above, to learn how to OC. But, reading alone will not teach you, you have to actually...
