Not really.
i just shipped a Bayonet to the US. it was pretty easy, just went to the post office, told them where I wanted it to go, and paid money.
i love Australia's postal system.
I let fraps do all the averages for bad company 2.
I did remove one of my Hard Drives, if that helps.
I get the feeling that requiem99 is right, either my 9800GTX was faulty ir i'm jumping the gun.
-UPDATE- Just tested the HL2 benchmark and my 8800GTX is performing faster.
as well as Need...
I recently fried my Galaxy 9800 GTX and replaced it with an old Sparkle Calibre 8800 GTX.
I just bought Battlefield Bad Comapny about a week before my 9800 GTX died.
I could play it with all setting maxed and HBAO Turned off and AA at 4x and AF at 8x. at 1280x1024 with DX10 and I got an...
Hey.
I'm doing a system rebuild and I need a new motherboard.
I'm looking at getting a Phenom II1090T, but I really couldn't be assed forking out another $100 on getting DDR3 ram, Instead I was going to spend that $100 on doubling my ram to 8GB DDR2.
Only problem is I cannot find any...
I have a mate who's an apprentice electrician, and he used one of those voltage pen things.
I bought the card second hand for $100 about a year ago.
the GTS 250 is $127
I can't get a 5770, or a 5750... Not enough funds at the moment, and I just need something that will get me by for the time being.
And my PSU is fine from what i've seen, I've checked all of the voltages and everything, and it's stable.
ATI:
HD 5550 $123.00 AU
HD 3650 $110.00 AU

Oh wow... I was looking a umart.com.au
Is newegg.com in US dollars or Australian Dollars?
And does a workstation graphics card be any good? I can get a Quadro FX 4800 or something for a hundred or so.
-EDIT-
Sorry Danny Bui... I have a generic 500 Watt PSU. It's powered my 8600GTS and my...
OK, I got bored and wrote up a list of all the possible cards I can buy, Since I sorta dropped out of the technology loop around about the time that the Geforce 9 Series came out, I really don't know what's good or not anymore.
ATI:
HD 5550 $123.00 AU
HD 3650 $110.00 AU
HD 2600 PRO ...
I live in Australia, because we're not quite a first world country, we hide it by dumping technology that's more than 3 weeks old and replacing it with the brand new stuff.
If I want a new CPU, I need to get an AM3 system, which needs a new motherboard, none of the motherboards that are...
I play BF: BC2 mostly, COD4/6, A lot of source games at 1600x1200, I got used to playing all of my games maxed with AF all the way up and AA at about x4.
so the GTS 250 or the HD5770.
What if i Upped the price to about about 220. I can get another hundred, is it worth it to get a more...
Hi.
My 9800GTX for some reason went pop when i tried to turn on my PC yesterday.
I don't know if it was my graphics card that is to blame or my PSU, but I need a new graphics card.
But since this came out of the blue I don't have alot of funds.
What graphics cards could I get for...
I have a HP vz5000 with Windows 7 But I can't get the audio to work. I cant even install the windows XP drivers on it like I did with my win7 PC.
Is there a working set of drivers for Windows 7 for the zv5000 or is there some kind of work around.
inb4 Google it... I already have.
Oh, hook up the hard drive.
Open the start menu and right click 'Computer' and click on manage. then go to disk management and see if there is another hard drive connected, if so, you might have to rename the drive path.
i swapped out the PSU and tried it again.
My 6600GT stopped working. my 8600GTS started working. Windows then wanted to reinstall some driver and then restart. So it resterted. Now my 8600GT doesnt work and my 6600GT works.
The 6600GT is a PCI-E Card with no 6 pin power.
I also tested...
Dead PCI-E? Dead GFX? What's Died?
This is a bit of a long story but it's a bit weird.
pulledI was buying a new graphics card and it required a 6 pin PCI-E Power molex. Anyways, My PC was turned on. I pulled out the PCI-E power from my 8600GTS and checked it (dumb move, I know).
PC Shut down...
basically I have this standard on off toggle switch and I have this other switch which is a toggle switch but it has 3 stages, what if i just rigged up the 3 stage switch do that the current passes through the middle stage and ill just flick it from the bottom to the top and not stop in the middle.
I just pulled out and old toggle switch from my car and I had the best idea.
Use it as my on off switch instead of a push button. But I have no idea if it's doable. I've already googled it and I get mixed reviews.
Does anyone have an instructions on how to do it correctly?
Hey.

There is Mobilinux, but i can't find somewhere to download it from.

This very same thing happened with XP. Everyone was used to 98/SE, and when XP came out, it was branded a CPU hog, buggy and unreliable. same thing, just replace '98' with 'XP' and 'XP' with 'Vista'.
I haven't found vista that bad, its seems pretty solid after all those updates.
