I think it's fair to say that my SSD is taking a shit. Huge stuttering issues... decided to investigate, found that other users are having the same problem. See: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16820231220 It doesn't help that... 1) I was not using AHCI. 2) I'm...

So I just ordered my new rig.... as such I have a PC that I'm willing to part out and sell now. - Core 2 Duo E6600 w/ ASUS P5N-E SLI mobo. NEVER over clocked. - A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400). Never over clocked. - 2 x 8800 GT 512 MB cards (never over clocked)...

So... I've been told that WoW is mostly CPU dependent, and less GPU dependent than other games. Is this really the case? I play 90% WoW and 10% TF2/L4D/COD. I'm looking to get a rig that's best suited to WoW, and will run TF2/L4D/COD (MW2) at more than acceptable levels. I'm leaning towards...

Hey Guys, I have the following Shuttle machine that I want to upgrade a little bit (I jacked the CPU, and Newegg is out of the E6600). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856101009 Does this Shuttle box support 45nm? I.e., would the processor...

Guys, I currently have a P5N32-E SLI Plus motherboard... It's the one with the MCP55 chipset for the NVIDIA controller... epic fail all over the place in Ubuntu -- the latest kernal is completely incompatible due to a forcedeth driver issue.. anyway -- I cannot get sound, nor ethernet (cannot...

Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 ... and I'm getting 3 device errors under other devices in the device manager.. I can't seem to get them to go away. #1 -- Other PCI Bridge Device (PCI BUS 0, device 17, function 0). Instance ID ->...

Well, Since I hear rumors of the 8900 series cards coming out within the next 6 months, I decided to build a system with the capability to handle 2 of them (thus the 750 watt PSU), but decided to just spend $300 now on the 8800 GTS 320 considering the benchmarks showing it to run WoW very...

Hey guys, Does anyone have an adapter so I can use one of those eSATA Express Card cards (Verizon CDMA 620 wifi cards) on my --DESKTOP-- ??? Thanks!

Hey guys, I bought the following: - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16856101009 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115003 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145098 -...

Hey guys, I'm looking to get either and AMD or Intel rig (Don't care which)... Wondering if there was a guide that kind of broke down all of the current CPU's in gaming-related areas.

Hey guys, Is there anything larger than the 30" Dell/Apple that's not an LCD TV (I.e., something with even higher resolution support than the 30" Dell/Apple's)? I'm working on this project and it would be nice to have one really really large monitor. Projector's just don't cut it. Looking...

I'm very concerned about this because I fear only being able to run in 1920x1200 is going to really hurt my performance in gaming. I've got the system listed in my profile... so I dunno. Not looking forward to having to buy a new video card though. Think this will run in 1600x1200 and lower...

I've got a machine here... ASUS mobo, athlon xp 1600+, GB of ram, 350 watt power supply. Worked great last night. We shut it off... it won't turn on this morning. There is power to the mobo (the green light is on) but when I power it on the fans turn on for literally one rotation and then...

I attend the University of Dayton and they just switched us over from OARNet (33 mbps line) to a Time Warner (80 mbps line). Our download speeds are much better now, and our overall web page load times have improved. Also, AIM works fine now, instead of disconnecting us every 5 minutes (Yes...

Anyone know where I can get one of these pretty cheap -- or how to make one.

I've got 2 cards installed to my PCI slots. The following in order from top to bottom. 5. Empty 4. Empty 3. Empty 2. ATI Tuner VE 1. Sound Blaster Audigy 2 I just installed my prescott this morning (2.8E) and booted up just fine with my RAID-0 array of raptor drives. However, it...

Okay, I read on a site that you could fix a missing pin on the p4 northwood processors by sticking a needle tip in the socket where the old pin (now missing) normally would have gone. Well, since American Express is covering the processor since it's technically out of warranty now, I figured I...

I was relapping the heatsink last night and a pin fell off -- Uhm, figured I would put it up for sale here since the pin that fell off can be replaced but I'm going off to college here in a week and don't have time to have that done. From what I understand you can put the tip of a needle in the...

I just got to that big spider boss in alpha labs sector 4.... approximately how much of the game have I finished?

Enjoy. Thank god people at MonitorsDirect are awesome and helping me out here. I'll pretty much just have to pay for a cheap replacement casing, since obviously this was my fault for having a goddamn HALOGEN lamp sitting almost directly on the monitor. I sure as hell am keeping this lamp...

Our campus (UDayton - www.udayton.edu) is transferring their network over to some new technology where we have to log onto the network before being able to get an ip address every time we start our computers (it uses java apparently). Anyway, normal routers/switches will not work because they...

Hey guys, I reinstalled Windows XP Professional today on my friends computer (Including SP 2 RC 2) and the printer just will not install. The software installs, but then there is no printer. It worked fine on the non-SP2 machine. I am 100% sure it's an SP2/driver issue but I was just...

I've got 3 items I'm selling here since I most likely will never even watch/play them. I won them. Anyway, all of them are sealed and have never been opened. : Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (Widescreen) DVD. $15 shipped. : NHL 2004 (XBOX) $12 shipped : Freedom Fighters (PC). $12...

Hey guys, I've decided to sell my tangent laptop that I got last year when I entered Univ. of Dayton. It's been a great laptop so far, I've had no problems with it. Anyway, here are the specs... I'm looking for at least $900 for it or some kind of good trade (I also have a very nice desktop...

My friend here at college's motherboard has some problems. Apparently while taking off the heatsink he ripped part of the ziff socket off (very small chunk) but it's enough to make it so he cannot mount heatsinks... when he did it he barely even pulled and it just "cracked." I didn't see it...

I was wondering, because my load temperatures are around 60C with a Zalman 7000cu, though I am in a college dorm room where the temperatures are warm (we have around 9 machines in our room) and it easily collects dust... still trying to seek a way around that... but at home I know load temps...

I am currently running a Zalman 7000cu on my P4 2.8 and am in a college dorm. Since it's pretty damn hot in there I'm looking to replace the Zalman with a liquid cooling system. The maximum I can spend is $350, and I'm looking to get the best bang for my buck and be able to overclock quite a bit...

I've done it, I definately got rid of the dell quicker (my mom has one, my bro has a sager). Stupid Dell.

So I want to get rid of this damn laptop. Reason? Intel Intergrated Graphics just don't work well at all. Heh. I got it through my school because they force you to choose between 2 models, the upper end one and the lower end. I got the upper end one and still ended up with intergrated graphics...

I get around 59,000 last time I checked.. could be wrong though, but I'm pretty sure that's about right.

If you can afford it go right ahead. Pricewatch is better now because you can rate the dealers and stray from bad ones. I still don't think $165 is worth the extra cost for a 25% increase. I never said that you were buying it purely for HL2, but the point of buying that card would be to get you...
