    Apple Wanted 'Laptop Hunters' Ads Pulled

    According to the article linked, which quotes the transcript from the conference. Did you bother reading anything at all? "And so we've been running these PC value ads. Just giving people saying, hey, what are you looking to spend? "Oh, I'm looking to spend less than $1,000." Well we'll give...

    PC Market to Suffer First Decline Since Dot-Com Bubble

    It also doesn't help that 2 year old technology can still crunch and game most thinks thrown at it without a sweat. If you got a Q6600 and 8800 in 2007 you are likely still using it satisfactorily.

    Apple Wanted 'Laptop Hunters' Ads Pulled

    Just prced some crap for giggles.. The iMac Pro was about $1,000 more than the topend Dell I configured. Comparable CPU/RAM/Video/HDD. The Dell also had a Blu-Ray player. Neither added software or extra dongles or any of that crap. Just a working machine you could unbox and turn on and get...

    EVGA 8800GT - 512MB SC

    Selling my old EVGA 8800GT 512MB SC finally. It's clean, came factory superclocked from EVGA. Works great. When I first got it I did test the OC on it of course, got it up to SSC speeds with no errors, but never really ran it that way for long. Perfect for a second box or playing with...

    FS: Age of Conan

    I was in beta, so I knew the game fairly well. ToS is also a sickly overpowered class so it levels quick. The level curve isn't that steep anyway. It's been out 6 weeks now plus I was in early access so I had a jump on the crowds. Nah, I just want my money back from the box and wipe my hands...

    I'm done with this game. Selling my copy, with account. Decent geared level 80 Tempest of Set on the Zug (PvE) server. Also has level 54 Bear Shaman. 20+ gold. Both chars have horsies! It also has the War Mammoth preorder bonus, plus the drinking cape which gives you free booze...

    The Tuniq will be fine. It's within 1 or 2 degrees of the TRUE 120 in every comparison I've seen.

    Stable = stable. Not stable enough. I've had unstable overclocks blue screen me just surfing the web. And don't blame Vista, that's just silly.

    Crysis Top End rig - poor performance

    First couple of levels can do very high fairly well. Performance takes a nosedive after a while though.

    Define Orthos Success

    Wrong. I've had Orthos errors after hours and even instant-reboots after hours. An error can result in many strange things from a simple error in the program, the program shutting down or a blue screen/the whole system rebooting.
  18. R

    Define Orthos Success

    Idle at 20? That's amazingly low considering 20C is 68F. Anyway, if it crashed it isn't stable. No success. Success is when you can run it as long as you want without crashing. Some systems can go 8+ hours then crash, some may crash in 25 hours. Try bumping up the voltage again. If it runs...

    Serious performance issue with 8800GT

    I guess it's your CPU because I get 37FPS in the demo at 1280x1024, high settings, DX10 in Vista. I can see getting a few more in DX9/XP easily. 10FPS difference is pretty huge and shows how GPU isn't always the bottleneck.

    A nice surprise at my local Fry's

    Shrink wrapping can be done in like 5 seconds in the back. But hey, if it doesn't work take it back and they can rewrap it again and sell it to another sucker!

    E6750+P35-DS3P+800MHz OCZ gold

    You should run your memory as low as it will go, but you need to start with loose timings until you get the CPU where you want it. If your RAM is rated at 5-5-5 800MHZ then set your FSB to 400MHz, your divider to 2.0 and the timings to 5-5-5 and that will be it.

    Novice OCing Questions

    It doesn't matter what the error was, if it had a rounding error or anything of the sort then it wasn't stable. Raise Vcore and try again.

    E6750+P35-DS3P+800MHz OCZ gold

    2.0 = 1:1 If you are using stock cooling your temps are going to get into the 60's at 3.2GHz. You can try manually setting the voltage to 1.35 or so and see if it is stable. As far as temps, Coretemp is correct. 15C is impossible unless you are outside.. in Antarctica.

    My Q6600 overclocking experience.

    Why are you afraid to run Orthos? It's pretty much the standard. Alt-tabbing during Counterstrike isn't worth jack.

    My Q6600 overclocking experience.

    CPUs cool off incredibly fast. By the time you exit a game (which doesn't fully load a CPU anyway - especially CS:S) they can drop 10-15 degrees or more. Run Orthos while watching Coretemp.

    Again, why my system scores much less than other similar systems( Pcmark vantage)

    Meh, I only score 5k in PCMark Vantage and 8775 in PCMark05. Pretty sure my 2GB is the reason.. more RAM is better for that benchmark. And it doesn't help that Futuremark sucks and their search and compare page has been inoperable for days. Edit: Hmm, looking at comparable systems I am...

    Shame on tuniq

    How do you break the metal springs anyway? It's not like you put them under any intense stress. They just compress down a little and that's it.
