    Microsoft Pulls Security Update

    "when paired with a certain third party software"... Of which they can't divulge the name?? What if I don't have that "third party software" installed and would prefer to remain more secure?

    MSI N580GTX Lightning XE 3GB Video Card Review @ [H]

    would love to see a review of 1.5gb vs 3gb clock for clock. having the reference card in there is kinda pointless cause ya it's got faster clocks so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know it'll be faster.

    ASUS Sabertooth P67 Motherboard Review

    just bought this board yesterday and so far so good. still running stock but that won't last long. i have a side 200mm fan on my case so i hope that will cool the mobo fine. my only complaint is rather large but why do they insist on putting the second pcie gpu slot so low on the board. i...

    Radeon HD 6950 to 6970 BIOS Flash Guide

    i did this way back when with both my 6950s and neither one of them is stable at default 6970. i must have got two bad ones. bought them right around christmas time. btw, i test my stability with the counterstrike source stress test. it crashes more frequently than 3d mark 2011. each card...

    strange mini display port problem

    thanks for the help. switching cables solved the problem of the fans spinning. thankfully both video cards came with mini-dp adapters and my monitors came with dp cables. that's too bad about the cables. i bought them a few months ago and still have one un-opened... at $20 bucks a cable you...

    strange mini display port problem

    two bad cables? i guess that makes sense if it's brand incompatibility. for the record here is the cable: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=98_748&item_id=027899 also, i thought the power alarm happens when the system is on without the power being plugged in. this is...

    strange mini display port problem

    i'm posting this because i've done some searching and can't find an answer. basically, when my mini display port is plugged in and the computer is powered off some of the system fans keep spinning very slowly and the LEDs stay dimly lit. as soon as i unplug both mini display ports the problem...

    Corsair SP2500 2.1 Speaker System Review @ [H]

    z-cinemas are VERY different from z-2300s from what i've read so i definitely believe the corsair is superior. i actually have no idea why logitech discontinued the z-cinemas. anyone know? i'm thinking maybe they were too expensive to make and weren't selling enough. i'm guessing this...

    Corsair SP2500 2.1 Speaker System Review @ [H]

    don't flame me but i wonder how these would compare to the logitech z-cinemas. i paid 100 bucks for them and they're by far the best pc speaker system i've ever owned or heard. the corsair system obviously has more power and a larger sub so it's not a fair comparison necessarily, however, this...

    thanks for the reply. here's a screen shot of the current setup and error i get when i try to auto detect. i've tried manually setting it to r600 as you can see. i get the same unstable error as with the 9300. currently the onboard is totally disabled. obviously if i could get both...

    no luck. remembered i had a 3870 sitting around so decided to throw it in. same error even with the latest ati drivers. what am i doing wrong?? also, do i want to use gpu3 with my gtx 280s? auto detect doesn't set it.

    Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Delayed?

    i've already made the switch from vista to windows 7. at this point i see no reason to go back. if you're using vista now you'll find 7 is at least as stable if not more and much faster. ms would be stupid to make sp2 anywhere near as good as windows 7 as it would hurt windows 7 sales.

    Bleszinski Responds To Fan Criticism

    i bought mercs 2 for the coop play because as far as i know it's not possible to play that game coop with a pirated copy. if they did the same with gow2 then i'd buy it for sure as would my friend who plays coop games with me. we played the first gow all the way through as coop. to me those...

    9800 GTX vs. SLI vs. 3-way SLI. vs. Quad SLI @ [H]

    are their any 3rd party nvidia vendors who have done 1gb of ram on these cards? if not, why? what was nvidia thinking when they released these cards? nvidia - "let's trick a whole bunch of people into thinking these are better than the old (8800gtx) cards so we can reduce our operating...

    looking for a raid card that does 0+1

    i'm fairly certain raid 0+1 could survive two failures. raid 10 just falls back to mirror where as raid 0+1 falls back to stripe. anyway, i've got bigger issues now. my drives receive no power unless they're connected to the highpoint controller. i can plug them directly into wall power and...

    please help urgent

    looking for a raid card that does 0+1

    i didn't think so either but i've done a lot of reading and based on what i've read raid 10 writes differently than raid 0+1. i'm noticing the differences when i copy files back and forth from my raid 0 raptors. i can copy a large file to the raptors at around 130mb/sec but when i copy it back...

    looking for a raid card that does 0+1

    just picked up a highpoint rocket raid 3520 for my 4x500gb aaks drives as i'm out of sata ports on my mobo and i want to install an sata dvd burner. previously i had them in raid 0+1 though the mobo said raid 10 i'm sure it was 0+1 based on results with 3520. basically the 3520 only supports...

    Intel Skulltrail Preview @ [H]

    sorry if this has been covered (didn't feel like reading 6 pages to check) but why doesn't your standard test configuration include 4gb of ram yet? given that you're using vista 64 and also that games are starting to surpass the "2gig barrier", why are you still testing with only 2gb? not to...
