    Thinking about purchasing a PS3

    Both the PS3 and the X360 will show off the HD capabilities of your new TV, but the 360 has a superior selection of titles as well as a better online service. Blu-Ray is no better then HD-DVD, however that choice comes down to which movies you want to watch in High Definition. For example...

    Having serious problems with my new XFX GeForce 7950GT 570M Extreme video...

    I have 2 of these cards in SLI in my new rig, I installed the drivers off the CD because the latest forceware at the time of me building it didn't support the cards yet. I am having no problems with windows xp media center edition sp2 and these cards.

    Upgrading from 7900 to 7950 GX2

    I have 2 7950GT m570's SLI'd and they run Company of Hero's at all HIGH settings and max model detail silky smooth. My SLI combo is only a bit faster then a stock GX2 so you can expect the same results.

    Quietest $200-$300 video card?

    I have 2 xfx7950GT m570 extreme's SLI'd and they kick ass. Honestly I'm dissapointed my case doesn't have a window and I think trying to install one in a p180 side panel would ne hellish! Also they don't get very hot at all. I have not tried overclocking them yet (because I have absolutely no...

    Do i really need SLI or Crossfire

    I just built my new rig and it has 2 x 7950GT's SLI'd. Honestly I can't tell if I need that much power right now since my monitor only does 1680x1050, but from what I've seen in all the games I have, setting them to max eye candy w/ anti-aliasing, my cards seem to handle themselves pretty well...

    Recommend Core2duo Mobo

    Asus P5NSLI will support the chip and video card you mentioned. It's cheap too around $120. Hopwever from what I've read overclocking isn't something that this board does well. I am not overclocking mine currently.

    Best conroe Mobo for a NON OC gamer?

    Yes the P5NSLI supports the E6600 check out the build in my sig, i've had it running for a few days now. Maybe you could pair a 7950GT with it.

    Two XFX 7950GT's SLI

    here ya go. cooling to the cards is mainly from a 120mm fan that is located near the front of the case in front of the middle drive rack (which is empty, my hd is on the lower rack). So the air passes through an empty tube to the video card area.

    latest forceware doesnt support 7950 GT i think...

    Same thing happened to me today when I tried to install the latest WQHL drivers from nvidias site. I am using 2 of the XFX 7950GT 570m Extreme cards. It said it couldn't detect any nvidia hardware to install the drivers with. I just used the unsigned drivers that came with the cards.

    Two XFX 7950GT's SLI

    I just built my new pc and included two XFX 7950gt's in sli on a P5NSLI board. From what I've seen so far they are able to drive my new 22inch lcd (1680x1050) at max settings in Company of Heroes, Counterstrike: Source and World of Warcraft with no problem. I'm going to be running some real...

    Company of Heros - Slow?

    Confused about Asus P5NSLI, PCI-E slots running at 8x when using both.

    I'm planning on building a new conroe rig, but I'm having trouble deciding what motherboard to get. An older nForce 4 board (P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe) or the newer P5NSLI. One thing that stood out on the P5NSLI is that it mentions if you use both PCI-E slots in SLI configuration with 2 video...

    Is there any mATX conroe boards that support SLI?

    I'm planning on building a new rig in the next few weeks and going mATX is something I'm considering. I am going to be getting an E6600 cpu and a 7900GS video card (will get a 2nd one in a month or 2), if I could get a nice mATX board that would support my endeavours I would like that instead...

    Any new SFF info for 2006?

    I'm planning on building a new box this year (2006) and it's going to be my first SFF. Does anyone have any info / links on some new sff products coming out (cases especially). Would be nice to wait a bit if something brand new (and nice) is just around the corner.

    Very Weird HDD problem.

    I'm also having problems with my 7200.8. It's slow as sh*t. I'm running it on my Asus P4P800. My WD 80GB JB (ATA) is way faster then this seagate. No idea what the hell's going on.

    Who here got a DS?

    Bought one because I was really interested in the hardware. PDA style touch screen, stero sound, microphone. dual screens. The thing kicks ass, you have no idea how cool it is until your running around in metroid using the thumb strap to aim and kill stuff. I hope some people at work bought...

    FS: 2 x 256MB Kingston Hyper-X 3500 RAM

    For sale is 2 x 256MB ram sticks. The reason for the sale is that I own a P4P800 and wanted 1GB ram. According to all the computer store techs I spoke with (and the mb instruction manual), the board which has 4 ddr slots, won't allow me to run 4 sticks DUAL CHANNEL (at least not pc 3500 hyper...

    My 2k1 score seems a little low...

    So let's get this straight: AMD 2400+ 1 gig pc2700 ram 9800SE Powercolor And you're wondering why you're only getting 16k in 3dmark01? Your system components are not that great, you're lucky to even get 16k. I'm thinking you might get 5700 in 3dmarko3 with that rig, if that.

    9800 Pro 128 .. are my results that far off?

    You're score seems just fine. My score and clock is in sig. I can push my 9800 AIW to about 418/375 I think.

    AIW 9800 & buzzing in speakers

    Lol, I get that too when I run 3dmark03. Always puzzled me what was doing it. Shrug I just learned to live with it, I don't notice any sounds when gaming (I crank my speakers).

    New Logitech Keyboard!

    HardOCP's sues Infinium

    Infinium labs is crap. I have friends in several big game development companies, and let me tell you... none of them are working on any secret phantom projects. Actually none of them really know what the phantom console is, LOL! Infinium Labs is shoe'ing themselves in the nuts over this...

    Wireless Vs. Wired Mice

    MX700 is the best mouse I've ever used, The weight is fine once you get used to it. I recommend it to all my friends. Oh and there is NO lag at all. And a charge lasts me usually a week at a time :)

    [H] In trouble!?!

    LOL, even if the Phantom was real (which I doubt). It's going to have the worst games out there. I have friends who work at rockstar, electronic arts and a few other small game companies and NONE of them even know what the hell I'm talking about when I mention the phantom. "what is it?", "a...

    send video from tv tuner through network

    The sound using Windows Media Encoder is messed up for me too. I can't get the audio feed to stay set at anything but MIDI. Whenever I switch it to Line-In, Aux, or "what-u-hear" it just switches itself back to midi, after I click ok.

    OEM hardware and software vs. retail.

    OEM is "supposed" to be used by computer stores to build systems and sell them completely built. That means no packaging comes with the hardware, maybe an instruction book and a driver cd. Computer stores buy most of thier parts in bulk, and can pass the savings on to customers by offering...

    amd vs intel

    Socket A makes it too easy to damage your chip/mobo when installing heat sinks. I prefer the new 4 point hsf cages on the p4 boards. I am recommending Intel Platform to all my friends these days, AMD runs too hot and socket A is zzzzzzz.

    A64 3000 vs. P4 2.8

    Well you can crank the 2.8 up to 3.5ghz on a decent motherboard (250fsb). Either use pc3200 @ 5:4, or pc4000 @ 1:1 You might want to get something non stock to cool it as well.

    Back after 2 years.... few questions

    Get an Antec Case, either a sonata or an AMB3700, both come with good power supplies, and 3 year warrently, they look good too! They both come with a 120mm fan to help cooling!

    PSU shooting sparks

    After you double check your wiring, maybe you should spray out your case with compressed air, maybe some metal shavings gor in there (who knows what from). I would just send ti back to Antec, They will test it, and if its busted they will send u a new one, and if its not I'm sure they will send...

    AS3 + VGA Silencer + 9800 Pro= A BIG NO NO

    Thats 100% user error, it's his fault he didn't check the gpu / shim heights. I'm running a VGA Silencer (rev b) on my 9800 AIW no problems with heat, I didn't remove the shim and I used AS5.
