    Buyer's guide from FAQ sticky

    I'm trying to do some research about replacing my aging video card and tried to click the link to the buyer's guide at the bottom of the video card FAQ. Apparently I don't have access to view the page it links to (it's on these forums). Does anyone know if it may have moved to some other spot...

    Safe to cut fins off my NB47J?

    I just received my ATI Silencer today and excitedly installed it on my Radeon. However, when I tried to replace the card in my A8N-E I discovered that the Silencer overlapped by quite a bit with the passive Zalman NB47J I had cooling my northbridge. There seems to be about 5/8" of clearance...

    SBC Yahoo Wireless router

    I'm moving into a house with some of my friends who currently have SBC Yahoo DSL. Aparently, the DSL modem is one of those all-in-one wireless router deals (don't have the model number handy). Now I have two computers and would like to get a wireless bridge to connect both of them as opposed to...

    1Q 06 Lineup Rumors

    The Adrenaline Vault has posted some new "leaked" document information detailing some new processors and price drops in the first quarter of next year. The new processors, FX-60 and 5000+ are speculated to be both dual-core parts contrary to what AMD has been pushing for the FX line. Either...

    Prime stable, sure, but UT2k4 stable?

    I've tested the OC below with Prime, Memtest and Pi calculations and it has been as solid as a rock for all tests and games I could throw at it. However, I reinstalled UT2k4 and the game will always lock up within ~30 minutes of playing. Sometimes it is within 5 minutes. I am now leaving the...

    How high do you think I'll be able to push this chip?

    So I finally got some time to start working my 3200+ 0520 Venice from the NJ Tech Tour. I'm in the phase where I see how high I can go on stock voltage (1.4v) and I have to say I think I've done something wrong. I got back from work today to see my 650mhz overclock was prime stable for 9...

    Help securing PHP code

    I am developing a part of an app that is basically a customer signup page. The platform I am running on is LAMP with PHP templates drawing the HTML/javascript. This is my first time using PHP and am a bit lost when it is coming to making my pages secure from vulnerabilties. I use a login...

    Disabling mouse acceleration in games under Win x64?

    For my new computer (specs below) I installed Win XP Pro x64 and have been playing around with it a couple days. I want to use it mainly for gaming but am having a heck of a time trying to get mouse acceleration disabled in games like I had with my old comp. I did it before with Logitech mouse...

    Evercool VC-RE install on 9800 Pro

    I just installed my Evercool VGA cooler on the 9800 Pro AIW on my old machine. The install was easy and the heatsink seemed top notch (mirror finish on the bottom) I was a bit disappointed that the fan seems to buzz a bit in the vertical position that my video card sits in, being inside a...

    Search for the perfect case

    I'm building a new A64 machine and am reluctantly moving away form the Shuttle form factor due mainly to cost and noise concerns. I haven't built an ATX machine for quite a while and am in the stage of picking a case/PSU. While I realize I'm going to sacrifice on size, I'd still like to get...

    Shoddy router or misconfiguration?

    My roomate and I bought a D-Link DI-524 router to use since Comcast only gives you 1 unique IP. Well since we hooked this up about once per night my latency to just about every server (google, CS servers, WoW servers) goes from ~40ms to 400-800ms. When I log in to the box and reboot it things...

    R520 with 48 shader pipelines?

    We've all heard rumors for a while that the Xbox 360 would be using a modified version of ATI's R520 chip. Now that the Xbox specs are out and point to a 48 pipeline version with a unified shader architecture I'm left wondering if the desktop card will see these kind of specs. I've been...

    HL:Source dissappointing

    I played it a bit today and hardly noticed any graphical difference between this one and the original (or High Def pack if you will). I saw a bit of that floating dust in sunlight stuff, and the wall textures may be a bit higher res, but the models and vast majority of objects look exactly...

    What did you expect from Doom 3?

    I hear over and over about people being "disappointed" which suggests something not living up to a certain level of expectation. So what did people think the game was going to be? Given id's past games and the fact that they made no indication about the type of gameplay present in D3, are...

    MP3 jukebox question

    Are there any MP3 jukebox players (like the iPod) that can attach to a PC and act like a removeable hard drive without any drivers or software? I would love to get an iPod but would also really love this feature (which the iPod doesn't have).

    Shuttles NF3 250gb announced.

    I first saw over at the Inquirer that Shuttle has announced the SB95G5. Of particular note to those familiar with XPC designs is a 92mm ICE fan and linear fan speed control. Hope to see reviews soon!

    Any bios change = no post

    Alright so I decided to Shuttle a second chance and upgraded my old SN41G2 for a new V2. I put in the same components as below and had to reset the CMOS using the jumper to get it to post. Kinda weird. However I wish that was the worst of my problems. Now, every time I answer 'yes' to the...

    Anyone have next-gen Samsung info?

    I'm looking at getting my first LCD and I'm pretty set with going for a 19" panel. Right now, I'm only looking at Samsung made panels but in doing research it seems like they usually refresh their lineup in April. With that being said, has anyone heard any info about Samsung's plans for this...

    AIW 9800 & buzzing in speakers

    Hi, I recently bought a retail AIW 9800 Pro and am using CD audio to connect the TV audio to my board. Since then I've been getting a noticeable buzz in my speakers or headphones which is really annoying. To test I opened my box while playing UT2k4 and yanked the CD audio cable out of the card...

    Weary about Video Upgrade

    I've been wanting to upgrade my GF4 Ti4200 for a while now and now that I have the money to do it, I just can't bring myself to buy the Radeon 9800 Pro AIW when I know that a new generation will be coming out in 2 months. But at the same time, I take the risk of it being a 2 slot card (I have a...
