Last night I tried to play the Campaign on the STANDARD level of difficulty and had to restart several times. I tried to play as Tau and attempted to go into the Space Marine quadrant and kept getting my ass handed to me. The computer would rush everytime. I was able to create about 2...

I will assume that there is a DoW forum??? I wil try to check that out tonight...should be on the main DoW homepage. Tau are SWEET!!! For some reason they look so cool on the battlefield fighting against Chaos and Orks...the suits rock and I especially love the SQUAD level SGT's. The change...

I have been playing this for a while now and it is a blast. I love being able to fire up the game and have access to play any of the 7 races. I play the TABLETOP version as well. Have for many years. I bought DoW when it first came out...and now I just bought Dark Crusade this past...

Just checking Has anyone heard if Bioshock has had its sound issue fixed??? I would like to get back to playing it but the sound stuttering so much kills the game!!! Brass

I installed it about a week ago and so far it runs fine on my rig. I have a 19" widescreen. So I am running with full graphics on @ 1440X900...looks sweet. So far no issues...I hate the way Grenades are thrown...but popping a cap in someones ass from the hip or over your head without...

I read the FAQ So far it seems to me that all I need to hook up 2 computers, is a router. I have a DSL Modem and I noticed that on a 4 port Router there is a spot labeled WAN. I am assuming that the WAN is an "input" from the Wide Area Network that would be my DSL provider? So this is...

I worked thru all the suggestions and the sound now works. Which is 100% better...BUT...the things stutters a lot. The sound works but the stuttering is really killing me. I can't here the Radio guy sometimes and I can't turn the volume up because when it stutters the sound is LOAD...

Will I lose all the DX10 graphics "niceness"? You are correct I have windows Vista and I have drivers installed for Realtek HD audio. On-board sound in my signature. Brass

Sound is not working any ideas??? It works at startup but once it goes into 3d game mode when I hit the water the sound quits. Is there a patch or do I have an incompatability issue??? HEELLLLPPP Brass

Does anyone know if Office XP will run on VISTA I need the Office suite badly to do homework and I have a copy of Office XP from my college...I asked the IT group there and they just said "it should work". Anyone here know for sure??? Brass

Hey all, I am going out to do "battle on Friday" and I was looking at buying the 99.00 Envision 19" widescreen from Best Buy. I just need to know a few things first before I go out and spend the $$$$. 1st: the resolution of this monitor is 1440 X 900...MAX If I own an 8600GTS and...

RivaTuner is working? Couple more questions. Is there any need to OC the 2D settings...or do you just OC the 3d portion? I am using Vista...so how do I set it up to avoid the UAC thing?

Hey all Just installed Rivatuner last night and OC'ed my GPU. It is an MSI 8600GTS (fanless). These are the speeds that I set them to. 710 CORE and 1100 on the MEM (base is 675 core and 1000 mem). Here is an issue...my Shader Clocl is 1512, however, on the Rivatuner graphs it only...

Quick question guys- My BIOS is an AWARD bios with a 590chipset on the MoBo. In the BIOS there is a setting labeled I believe "performance". I am assuming that this has to do with overclocking setting that are preset into the bios. Is this correct? If so what kind of OC do you get when...

Well so far the system is rock solid. Installed a EIDE PATA hard drive and windows found it and started right up Plug and Play style. Lost no data. I also installed a MASSIVE CODEC program called "FFDSHOW"...something like that. So far all is fine and and no BSOD's and I ran a few DVD's...

and so far it is running rock solid. It installed quick and very simple. Put the DVD in and told Bios to boot from DVD...bingo bango...I am up and running. No conflicts yet...I downloaded all the HOTFIXES and installed them. Downloaded and installed my first game. Magic the...

I just installed VISTA (32 bit) and got my PC running last night. Clean install with all new hardware (MoBo, CPU, GPU, SATA hard-disk). I installed the latest drivers from Nvidia 1.637.5 (something like that). Anyway...VISTA recongnized the card as an "Nvidia 8600GTS" I looked under...

that was a close one. Okay now that I am back with the living. I will calm down and breathe. Thanks guys...I thought that was what I read. hahahahah No question marks. Brass

So if I purchased the OEM disk...I can't install the operating system??? Did I just waste $100.00??? I thought I read on the package the the disk also contains the OPK??? Holy cow??? I didn't have time to try to install the software last night so I don't know what is going to happen...

Hey all I just received my copy of VISTA Home Premium (32bit). The OEM version. I just noticed that the package says something about a Preinstallation kit. What is that all about? If I am the owner of the disk and NOT the business distributing and making PC's for sale, do I need the...

Just another game of many to be released before X-mas that makes my newly purchased 8600GTS totally useless. I wonder if there is anyone I can sue to get a new GPU. I mean I bought a DX10 GPU to run DX10 games...and now all I will end up getting is a game that plays like a FLIP CHART...

Hellgate London is out...and now reviews to be found. Anyone playing the game yet...please post experience!!! Thank you.

We got a new OP system in Vista with DX10...it was in works for the longest time. According to what I have read, the years between the release of XP to the release of Vista was the longest timespan for a OP system released by MSFT. Okay...so if they had such a long time to develop DX10 and...

So I have been reading a lot of these posts and I have noticed that Gaming on VISTA is not so good. What I mean as in "not good" is the fact that Vista 32bit is restricted to 2Gigs of ram and most new games have a requirement of 1 gig with a recommended 2 gigs. Vista is a memory hog right...

I have always thought that a 12V line applied to a curcuit board where it IS NOT supposed to be applied is a bad thing??? Since when does adding or removing power from where it is needed to a place where it is NOT needed ever good for electronics??? That is why I asked the question. The...

Hey everyone I figured I would drop this question here in the PSU section. I have noticed that Video Cards ship with a 4 pin MOLEX connector that terminates into a 6 pin Video card connector. Here is my dilema and I don't know why the item is configured the way it is. There are 2 black...

Isn't Vista limited to 2Gigs anyway on the 32 bit system??? Vista will use all of the 2G and then it will add in the RAM from your GPU. If you are talking 4Gigs...then Vista 64 is the ticket. 2 Gigs it doesn't matter...it is all personal preference on the interface...that is the most...

Yep I called them. Everything is plug and play...no new software to worry about and all downloads are available from the website. Thanks though.

Does anyone know if Vista 32bit generates a conflict with DSL hardware or is that mostly controlled by the NIC protocalls? For example...I have about a 1year to 18 month old SPEEDSTREAM 401 DSL modem from SBC Yahoo. I am getting ready to install Vista and I would like to know if the modem...

I have been doing some reading and for about 6 months (maybe longer) I have seen a trend that I don't like. Now that DX10 is out (for a year now) and manufacturers are cranking out games "optimized" for DX10, why is it going to cost me 350.00 to 500.00 in a GPU to play a 50.00 game and within 6...

I have a Motherboard that has a 4 pin Molex power receptacle that is used to give additional power to the PCI Express slot. Here is the board and you can see the connector spot just next to the Blue PCI Express slot...

so I need some help and some hopefully quick answers to a few questions. First, how important is cooling??? I know that heat is a major killer to electronic components and performance but if we are talking a few degrees here and there at an ever increasing expense, is it worth the trouble...

My old rig is pretty slow I was thinking about just buying a 7600GT AGP version for his rig and call it good. But the MoBo only runs a AGP 4X so even the 7600 AGP version would be seriously handicapped. I will probably just do a whole new build on his rig. Start from scratch again...

A few simple questions I have all the components (new MoBo, CPU, Hardrive etc.) to build a new updated PC from scratch. I am going to install Vista 32 Premium (OEM version). However I was going to give my old PC to my son...I quickly realized that when we play head-to-head games...(we...

Thanks XFX Support person. That helps me in my decision. I want a plug and play card and not something I have to tinker with. A couple of extra bucks here or there doesn't kill me and with the XFX version at least I get a free game...so I will probably go with the XXX model. Thanks

A couple questions here for the pros. Does the fact that XFX XXX overclocked the stream processors on their card matter a whole lot??? Here is the quote from the [H] review. "Subsequently the stream processors are also overclocked, to a higher 1.566 GHz out of the box. The memory...

I think I have stated that like three times already. I hope I don't have to go back and quote myself. The 2900XT is crippled by the lack of ROP's and Texture units...thus it has all the bandwidth in the world but CAN'T UTILIZE IT ALL because it can't fill (low fillrate) fast enough. If ATI...

It might...but I still say that we can't think this way based on ATI's last offering. That is why I tried to use the examples...although it was confusing. Going back to the example...that we have to compare. If we look at the 2900XT offering it had 320 stream processors compared to the...

they are both great cards. I prefer nVidia cards because I like how they SLI with a single cross link. So I would buy the 7950GT. Here is a quick "semi scientific" list of actions to take when trying to decide. Check AMP/power requirements of each...then Noise...then heat...

Sorry should have said, "purchasing the 2900Xt makes absolutely no sense" compared to what you can get in a 8800GTS.
