A month back, I proceeded to the refresh process and ordered the following:
Motherboard: ASRock 970 Extreme3
Memory: Kingston HyperX Genesis 8GB(2x4GB) 1600mhz DDR3
HSF: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Harddrive: Seagate Momentum XT 500GB
Installation was straight forward. Did a clean...
Sn0_Man -> Thanks for the reply. I was looking into the SSD hard drives and I'm starting to like them. But I still feel I could use space over speed.
I have been out of the loop and have been trying to catch up by reading articles, reviews, forums and etc. I'm starting to gather ideas on...
Hi to all. My last post in this forum was in 2007 and have been with the forum for 9.8 years. So why am I still a Limp Gawd :confused::D
With the introduction aside, I am seeking advice/suggestions from the members of this forum on refreshing(upgrading) my current system.
A little short...
Hi,
Currently, I have an ATI 9700pro with an AC silencer cooler in my current box. I also bought a Nvidia 6200 for my HTPC. I can't seem to find a review that does a comparsion between these two cards. The HTPC is getting a new upgrade because I upgraded my P4 2.4GHz to a P4 2.6GHz. The speed...
I'm currently using the D-Link DI-624 with the latest firmware(2.71). I never had any problems with it. No drop connections, no random reboots, nothing. It has been stable for over a 6 months now and still running strong. I have read that this router was known to have problems but I guess I been...
That's a very nice setup you got there.
If you are leaning towards the backpack, I suggest looking at the Wenger(Swiss Gear) Synergy backpack. I had the option to buy the Synergy or Maxxum but decided to get the Synergy because it looks better. The Maxxum is too flashy with it's red/black...
I have the D-Link DI-624 which is the 108Mbps and I was having a lot of problems. After upgrading to the latest firmware on the D-Link website, I still had problems until one of the D-Link tech staff told me to try their version 2.71beta firmware which wasn't on their site but on their FTP...
You can also tweak the CPU, Video Card, and LCD Brightness to conserve battery power.
CPU = Undervolting
Video Card = Throttling Down Core and Memory Speed
LCD Brightness = Dimming the Brightness
For my Turion64 ML-32, I undervolt it and the benefits were very rewarding.

Hi,
If you ask HP/Compaq, they will tell you that the V2000z uses PC2700 SO-DIMM. This is not entirely true because there have been a great success of using PC3200 SO-DIMM and is recommend to buy PC3200 SO-DIMM since there is no big price difference between PC2700 and PC3200.

Hi,
OMG! After pondering about other solutions for several hours in my thinking chair, I decided to underclock my CPU back to stock. So from 2.88ghz down to 2.4ghz. With that done, Call of Duty works now. This is not good. GRR!!! Off to test other games...
Hi,
To make a long story short, almost all games I try to play, the end result is a crash. I can play for a few minutes then BAM, the game will close and I will go back to the desktop or the computer will restart itself. I didn't get a VPU error so I'm not sure where to start diagnosing(sp?)...
Maybe the thermal paste has dried up and isn't providing good contact between the GPU and HSF. Remember that the 9700pro has a shim between the GPU and HSF, so a glob of thermal paste has to be applied inorder to make good contact. If the thermal paste has dried up, then there is a gap between...
You can install ramsinks only on the GPU side of the card. You can not install any on the back side because there is no clearance to allow for a normal ramsink to be installed. Maybe if you got really really thin ramsinks, it could work, but considering that you will have to get very thin...
Hi,
Shipping is free if you pick it up :D But then, you have to pay for gas and considering California gas prices, that's a big iffy :(
Yeah, the SP-94 is a really nice heatsink. I would buy one now, but I'm already happy with my SLK-900. Still, it's very tempting....
-Thanks
Hi,
A warm(maybe hot?) deal. Frys is having a deal on the Lenmar Rechargeable Batteries. Get (10)AA's for $9.99. Its capacity is 2000mah and it has the "NoMEM" technology in it. Basically what that mean is that it doesn't store memory inside the battery so you can charge it whenever you want...
