This made me laugh out loud, nice work. :D

Great look, BusyBeaverHP! I do have to mimic the rectangle request; it'd be great (due to how I sit, the curve sometimes allows me to lean my arm the wrong way, and after a prolonged time of not noticing, it can be a little irritating). I first used a Ratpadz XT in 2006, and I haven't looked...

Well, it's been a mere couple of days and a problem DID re-arise. It's the haze to the left side of the panel, but it does seem to go away after the display has been turned off for a while. It's not a game-breaker enough to make me recook that logic board, but it does lead me to believe that the...

Thanks a ton for the help guys, and also to the rest who posted in this thread (especially revtech). After spending a good hour breaking the display down, I cooked the logic board in my oven for 8 minutes @ 375C as ekuest recommended, and once put back together, the flicker was no more. Now...

Hi all: I've been experiencing issues with my XHD3000, and I'd like to see if some of the fixes mentioned here could also possibly help me out. I'm not a solderer at all, so I'm hoping this issue can be fixed via other means, if it can be fixed at all. About a year ago, the panel...

To tackle the first part, we've been around since March 2005 and have published 704 articles to date. Now you've heard of us :-) I'm not quite sure what you mean by the rest of that line though, but if you mean that we haven't tested with cards other than what was mentioned in the article...

Hi all: I'm the one who wrote the Techgage article, and I'd just like to respond to a few comments here. 130FPS is not impossible at 1680x1050, as the chart shows. In addition to the information shown on the graph itself, we also include direct screenshots from each game used to show...

Hey all, There seems to be this common myth that Windows can only allocate up to 2GB of physical memory to a given app. This could be true in some versions of Windows, but since only x64 will recognize 4GB, that's what I have been using. What I basically want to know is... what's the...

Here is a good example of a game with and without the PhysX card. It's actually quite impressive, but I'd love to see a LOT more examples of this. I agree that the card needs more killer apps, and it's sad that the list so far is not really that huge. Either way, it looks to be very...

Sweet, thanks a ton for the help guys!

It should handle everything at that resolution. My 7800GT handles every game great, although FEAR at max everything was somewhat laggy.

Hey all, I recently purchased an NEC MultiSync 1740CX 17" monitor, and was interested in using the digital input. The only problem is, the monitor only includes a VGA cable, not one for the digital. The back of my 7800GT are two DVI-I ports, while the monitor accepts DVI-D ports. Could...

His card is actually an AGP, so I made a mistake with the TC. Well he's bringing the card back, he's lucky he can get the money back. He's going to take my advice and go with a 6600GT.. which is 3x better at least. Thanks for the verification guys.

Well it's not for me. My friend owned a 9550, and went to the store and the dude behind the counter highly recommended the 6200 because it had more ram (256). I am not familiar with the 9550, but I am pretty damned sure it's better for gaming than a 6200.

As the title says. Thanks peeps.

I'm not sure if this is the first review or not, but it's the first I've seen. Hexus The FX-60 beats out the 955XE in every test, but none of them are really a significant lead. It's going to be great when we see both of those CPU's duke it out when games that actually support Dual Core...

Yeah, I have an eVGA card already and am loving it. I'd even be willing to take a small downgrade, but I certainly don't want the same card. I can't see them giving me my money back from a card that I've had for almost a year though.

Haha! Could have been worse, really. It could have been connected to my brand new TV at the time, because it was just a half hour prior. I sent them an e-mail but am still waiting for a reply. There's no way I want that same model card in return. I always heard great things about BFG and...

Hey all, I am building a new system consisting of an ASUS P5WD2 Premium and an Intel 820 Dual Core. There's also a 2GB kit of Corsair 6400UL modules, a 200GB WD HDD and an LG DVD burner. When I boot up the PC with my Windows install, it displays "Setup is detecting hardware.." and then...

I am just doubting that it was the PSU. This is a problematic card and it doesn't really surprised me that this could happen. I am even more amazed that it took out my monitor with it though, a pure double whammy.

It was an NZXT 500W PSU that is included with the Lexa case. The PSU still works fine, even after this incident. Yes, it's a 24-Pin native PSU.

Hey all, Tonight I was putting together an Intel machine, and it didn't exactly go as planned. Being an Intel noob, it took me a while to figure out how set things up, but it came together ok. The time came to boot it up. The computer was plugged into my TV at the time because my friend...

Hmm, I'm there. I really would like to see how that compares to my current setup. I think I'm decided on that one then. Thanks man!

I never heard of that before.. do you happen to have a link where I could read more? And, do you know if the 820 overclocks well? If it does, I will be sure to get that one then, seems like a smart move.

Hey guys, I'm looking to build a test bed, but Intel based. I am not Intel saavy in the least, so I'd like to get to know them better. Besides the CPU and mobo, the rig would include: PCI-e BFG 6800GT OC 250GB Seagate S-ATA Chaintech AV-710 Lite-On DVD+RW DL Watercooling DDR2 Memory...

Oh, I didn't know I could surpass the driver limit with RivaTuner. I will look at the settings in there. I since remembered that my PC has a 400w currently, which could be part of the problem, if not all of it. I'm going to look into getting a larger PSU soon. I feel like a noob.. that was...

Hey all, Even though this card is still fast, I would love it if I could push the overclock further. The best overclock I can muster is 480/1.15. I see others hitting 500 and higher core, but can't understand why I can't get an inch past 480. Whenever I try to push it further, it just...

Well, my Inspiron 5150 has blown yet another LCD.. that makes two in one year. I want to open up my laptop to take a can of air to the inside of it, since it's starting to get a little dusty. I also want to see if the monitor cable is even fully plugged in, or I'd like to try replugging it...

I like the fact that you can search for servers without even logging into a game. It is rather large though.

Well.. the guys worked on it for over three years in a lot of his spare time, so $15 is not really that much, especially if you play online. It's a good game if you want to just jump in for a few minutes for a break. Besides, we have no real idea what Steam charges for each game sold too...

I reviewed it here for anyone who cares.

I will take a look at those as well. Please keep the ideas coming :D

I mean a durable notebook.. like for doing inventories and that crap. I didn't know Toughbook was a brandname.

Well not me, but a friend. He wants a speedy toughbook that is not ultra-expensive. He wants it to be able to run WinXP and Photoshop just fine. So far, he was looking at one with a PIII 933MHz processor with 256MB of ram, and also another with a Pentium M 1.10GHz with 512MB (I believe) of...
