Bumping this to ask: I've bought myself a 260 GTX as a replacement for the 8800GTS (XFX replied confirming no warranty coverage on it) However, the desktop doesn't seem to be POSTing every time with no GPU in it, when it does it gives me a audio warning of no VGA output or something like...

Unfortunately for me I'm in Australia, and from a look around the XFX site I found what I believe to be the relevant warranty length for a 8 series card in Australia: WARRANTY PERIOD: XFX warranties hardware Product for a period of two (2) years. So from Dec 2006 purchase I guess I'm out of...

It's a XFX 8800GTS 640MB that I got within a week of launch... Not sure if it's still within warranty. I'll check on that. Other hardware by the way is: Athlon X2 4200+ ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (nForce 4, Socket 939) Antec NeoHE 500W 4x1GB of DDR400 CPU was on a 10% overclock until...

Last few days I've been having trouble booting, it's been freezing sometime during when it's powering up devices, all fans have been spun up at this point (including GPU) and hard drives seem active, but it just stops. Takes me ~5 goes with no real trick before I can get it to boot. Once it's...

I like that they decided emacs was a Mac easter egg. And I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of other games in emacs too - depends how it was compiled though I believe.

Thanks, that works for me.

Bought one of these last week, got here yesterday. Love it so far - but a bit of backlight bleed in bottom left corner (Only notice it with a black screen or playing a dark game such as Thief). One question, I'm on the Win7 beta, and I tried adding 10e's colour profile...

As I found out the other day, if you go to the Backup and Restore Center in Vista Business, Enterprise or Ultimate, you can do a "Complete PC backup" which is pretty much a image of the OS drive that can then be loaded (completely overwriting) a new installation you make - restoring through the...

Meh, I've been trying for about ten minutes now with no luck. I think I'll leave it until the morning.

I've gotten to verifying my email account... Which was labelled in the email as the Final Step, so I feel I am close... D:

Hah, I don't think they reached 2.5M already, I just think they're having a bit of a capacity problem on the free for all server.

I've gotten further than that to a blank loaded page with the title of continue after signing in with my Live account...

Gah... Just keep getting the Server too busy message... Wonder how long it'll take to reach 2.5M, will probably just try again later.

Thanks for the replies, Thanks for the tip, the NSK4480 is $40AUD cheaper and a larger case, I don't really need the smaller case, going to live under corner of my desk or in a cupboard. Only comes with one 120mm fan - but that should still be sufficient for such a low power system I'm...

I'm thinking of putting together the following system: Intel D945GCLF motherboard uATX, integrated Atom 230, 945 chipset, 2 SATA ports, 1 PCI slot, 1 DDR2 slot. Antec NSK2480B case uATX, includes EarthWatts 380W PSU, two 120mm TriCool fans. 2GB Corsair Value Select DDR2-667 CL5...

Congrats guys! I just started folding for [H] tonight (with the release of the NVIDIA GPU Client) should have a couple of WUs done by morning as my first little effort. Only odd thing is doing the folding is the first time that I've managed to get a high pitched whine out of my 8800GTS...

Well I'm two hours into wednesday so if it does come not really a tuesday update for me :P (Aussie)

Query: I'm currently running 32bit Vista Business, I've heard that my Vista license counts for both 32bit and 64bit versions of the OS, is this true? And is there somewhere I can (legally) download an image of the 64bit installer? I'm planning to do some annual maintenance and reformat when SP1...

Thanks for the reply. Something someone brought up to me as a potential issue was whether the charger would work over here on our different voltage and frequency (can buy an adaptor for the plug, but would it run correctly), would this also be an issue? It's looking like it may just be...

Short version: Is an Eee PC bought in the US covered in Australia under warranty and would there be any other issues with this? I got my first in person look at an Eee PC today and was very interested, problem is here in Australia Myer has an exclusive on it at the moment and is selling the...

Okay, what are the downsides of a TN panel as opposed to the SPVA? I'll be sitting right in front of it whenever I"m using it so I don't really care about limited viewing angles or whatever.

I've been longing after the 2407WFP for a while, and I just noticed today that there's a new 24" monitor on Dell's (Australian) site... Now I'm assuming it's not an 8-bit panel like the HC, but it's $400 cheaper ($599 rather than $999)... What's the catch? I'm an avid PC gamer, mainly RPGs and...

Thanks for the reply, while I don't really like it I can see how this would be a boon for some lower end cards...

The question is will an 8800GTX fit in your case rather than on your motherboard :D

Rightio, I noticed an anomaly with my system's Performance Information as reported by the Windows Experience Index part, being it showed my graphics card with an insane and odd ammount of onboard RAM, looking at the card properties it shows some of this as shared... Any ideas on why this is or...
